Hi,

Yes, as the title states, are there any users who use these crafts regularly? Or only historical spacecrafts. I avoid all the scifi, except for the Module from the tv series 'Farscape' John Crichton's test module.
 
I haven't seen any MPCV modules, I'm really interested in getting it if someone made one. Also on an SLS would be nice.

What is on my wish list as far as simulated real spacecraft is the Dragon v.2 and the proposed Russian PTK capsule. But by far I would want the Orion.
 
There is only Mr Drake's now older files. Hopefully a much more detailed actual MPCV will be created for Orbiter. I think by not using actual real craft, the whole point of Orbiter loses it's purpose.

The module that is included was only an illustration as there is no actual firm confirmation it would ever have landed on the moon. I imagine the similar rolling of the craft that was done on Apollo 9 of equalising the heat.

[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4437"]A older-style Orion[/ame], made for Orbiter2006 but works fine in Orbiter2010. And here's a [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6294"]PTK[/ame]. There's no SLS on Orbiter Hanger, but you might find other stuff your interested in if you browse around. Happy hunting;)
 
There's more than one developer working on a version of the SLS, but until more data becomes available, they'd neither look nor perform correctly. So I think once the data hardens up, you'll see more happening (development wise).

Put that PTK mentioned on the Angara for an enjoyable ride to LEO in the meantime.

Also the Ariane V has a crew transfer vehicle, found at Pappy's Hangar...

And although I haven't used it myself, there is a compatible lander http://francophone.dansteph.com/?page=addon&id=1.

[ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4532"]Donamy has a rather nice Orion MPCV[/ame] that comes with his Sidemount addon, it's the pre-ESA ATV derived SM however. IIRC, he's also working on a Dragon V2.

I saw this recently and I wasn't impressed enough to DL it. I think I'm going to wait until someone makes an Orion/SLS model and use that. Right now I'm content with the DG.

I had also pondered the higher resolution ISS but as I've had some difficulty to getting DL modules to work I paused on that too. The PTK looks interesting only because I really want the Russians to build this, when they do I'll add it. I thank you for the suggestions!
