Reporting for Launch

[Dragon]

Greetings fellow cosmonauts and astronauts! I started playing Orbiter about two weeks ago and it really got me hooked, great simulation and many thanks for giving it to us for free, you devs really deserve credit!

I always like to fly the Atlantis and started to "upgrade" it a bit for interplanetary flight, will upload the mod sometime if there aren't any similar mods around the hangar.

See you in orbit...

Welcome new friend! Look forward to seeing what sort of "upgrades" you made to good ol' Atlantis!

Welcome to the forums I can't help but notice you did say "Interplanetary flight" for the shuttle. I would like to know how you plan on approaching this aspect. You have sparked my curiosity.

Thanks for the big welcome everyone! :tiphat:

@RacerX: I modified the Atlantis by allowing the powerful main engines to be used as standard and adding vertical thrusters for VTOL takeoffs/landings, amongst other things.

I uploaded the mod as "Atlantis MKII", note that it may take up to 24 hours for approval before it can be downloaded, I'm still new here.
