XR2 MkII still a real project? - Page 2 - Orbiter-Forum

**Therius** · 06-23-2012, 03:12 AM

I absolutely love the Altea Aerospace fleet. Nothing like blasting into space with SCRAM engines roaring! Well... more of a whining sound than a roar, but you get my point.

Well, you can always roar yourself while engaging the SCRAM engines. It sounds funny for about 5 seconds, then you don't want to do it anymore...

Totally agree! I really tried that once, and it worked for a little bit.
I agree the scram sound needs to be made more serious, not like a whiny 5-year old!
Alternately, you can tell the lady that you forgot to take out last-months trash at the right moment.

Fun fact: you can fit an XR2 in an XR5.

As long as you don't mind chopping the wing tips off.

I wish there was something I could do (what IDK) to revive the mkII project.
IDK any of the issues behind the cancellation. So what to do?
Well, a postmortem of what happened could be a nice consolation prize?

what sort of postmortem do you expect? Peoples priorities change and this is something we've seen a lot with dev work, VSA's and other things. It is simply a fact of life.

Maybe make them so you can fold them up?

N_Molson · 07-01-2012, 03:35 PM

You can certainly fit a XR1 ?

It was a heck of a model, and it looked very close to completion, which is what makes the fact that its development died a bit of a shock.

Add the fact that the model looked absolutely amazing only adds to the disappointment.

To sum up, Coolhand left the forum some time ago without releasing the model, so that was the end of that.

Anyway, as this thread has run its course and there are other XR development threads, this thread has been locked.
