Spaceship Luna Problem

[oldcoach]

I've just recently gotten into Orbiter and it is addicting. Being an old dude, I'm a fan of 1950"s SciFi so I downloaded the Luna spaceship and the service tower addon that goes with it. The problem I've had is that without the service tower, Luna launches fine by pressing "Ctrl & +". With the service tower it won't launch. I push "G" to roll the tower back but nothing I do will launch the spaceship. The readme's that come with the tower and the Luna don't give any insight into what to do. Any ideas would be helpful.

I currently have a Luna flight on it's way to the moon (launched without the service tower). By using plane align, orbit sync, encounter I think I have a good trajectory for landing. The problem is can I land without spreading the ship and crew all over the moon?

First, welcome to Orbiter and the forum!

If you still have plenty of fuel, you should do fine. I recommend LOLA MFD for a tail sitter such as Luna.

Luna Launch Pad Problem

I realized that Luna and the launchpad are for version 031217 so I downloaded that version and installed both files but can't launch with the pad installed. I must be missing something.
