one thing that sums up quite well why the old delta-winged G42 was redesigned -- RAVENSTAR mkII :blink:
with Doug and Steve's work coming along so promisingly, another delta-glider variant craft would be simply redundant, IMHO
plus, the old design wasn't all too realistic... this one is a lot more like something that could actually exist within the century (if politics don't lead men to ruins 'til then)
anyways, i'm not putting this on hold for UDVC... since i'm already at a certain pace with this project, i figured other efforts could wait a bit, at least until WIP-2 is out :hmm:
i hope it's not long... you know how real-life can get in the way of things... right now, it worries me plenty that i have to replace my aging earthly motor vehicle (car)... still, whenever free time presents itself, i try my best to get something useful done
give me a couple of weeks... i just wanna have a few more features done before i pack up for round 2 :thumbup:
Nice,i am thinking in downloading it when wip 2 is released,but some effects would turn you project beyond spacecraft3.dll ships, if u keep you good work you will work will be comparable to dan steph is DG and Mr.Beachy is XR Series
I made that pic my desktop background! Looking good :thumbup:looking better (coming soon)

got RCS exhausts mostly done and all the ACS are animated
i think we may have WIP-2 good to go shortly... if nothing gets in the way... you know how things get in RL :shifty:
i've also made a pretty handy little gauge that shows you the most effective ascent profile for the RAMCASTER phase... still tuning it, tho... it's no good if it throws you off more than it guides you properly :hmm:
IMHO, i think you should make the texture a little lighter, it looks like it cant make its mind up between USAF and Commercial Airliner at the minute
thats the strange thing about heat.
White - Heats up fast, cools down fast.
Black - Heats up slow, cools down slow.
its the other way around i believe, since white is the most efficient reflector, and the LEAST efficient radiator
