To prevent the gear deploying if you accidentally hit G during reentry. I burnt cos of that twice and have been turning the hydraulic pressure off since.
Usually, if I forget to turn it back on before landing, I just glide in without the landing gear and try to do as little damage as possible. You can land without destroying your hover engines - or even the closing caps.
Well done,
I am still trying to do it. I normally explode or when I use the re-entry autopilot I get throuhg the atmosphere and then crash into the sea 'cos I'm too far from KSC.
Well I'm gonna keep trying till I get it right too. I've made about 4 successful flights to the ISS and docked so I'm glad I can do something right so far
Excellent job!
All the best!
well done!!
The first time i reach moon from earth with DGIV, I tried to land 30km from the base because i don't have much fuel left and it ran emty when i was 30m from ground! the captain dead after the ejection
Before Aerobrake MFD existed I did lots of research on entry and I got to achieve a range withing 1000km with no MFD. Entry was one of the most frustrating things for me for a long time. Thanks God Aerobrake MFD exists.
