Hi,
First thing that i wanted to say: this is my very post in the orbiter forum, so i excuse in advance if i am little nooby with some therms and game mechanics
With that said, there's my question:
I was playing around with the Arrow until i wondered if it could do a orbital launch (to launch a ship from the arrow) of the DGIV into the atmosphere, so i transfered some crew, made a Retro burn so the orbit would touch the upper level of the atmosphere, and at the right time i launched the DGIV. In the first couple of tries i always had too much accelleration so i heated too much, until i found the right velocity and orbit intersection and managed to get to the surface. Could this be a realistic thing to do when you have a mothership in LEO and you would want to land a crew into the planet?
