Air-2-air refueling over the Atlantic, 1000 Kms East of the Cape.

Mid-air refueling over the Atlantic, 1000 Kms East of the Cape.

Wouldn't the nose petals be ripped off ?

Not when you are flying at an altitude of 8000m with a speed of 170m/s.
You don't even get warning call-outs.

I took jmw's [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3639"]Aircraft Refuel Project[/ame] and replaced the STA with an XR2.

I also had to change the 747's docking port to coordinates that corresponded with the fuel line.

I did not modify the XR2 at all. In fact, in that pic i'm flying with expert settings in the config file.

So how is the 747 flying at that altitude ?

Autopilot 1.72

It holds the K-747-SCA steady enough to be able to dock with the boom's nozzle.

I managed to get these pictures from a CEV add-on:

The Captain doing an EVA to inspect the solar pannels.

A shot of Greenland.

The sunset over Europe.

Re-entry burn.

Re-entry over the Indian Ocean.

The CEV in the Ocean with the parachutes the next morning.

I would have to say this is my first sucessful mission.

You should try Donamy's CEV included in his [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4532"]Side-Mount SDHLV package[/ame] - it's AWESOME! :thumbup:

Deployed a satellite today...again. Two highlights here.
Getting better at the art of EVA, though there are still scary moments.
The second image was by chance. I happened to turn to the side when I sneezed while using the RCS. After hitting KILLROT, this was the scene presented to me. Nice surprise.

[eveningsky339]

Sounds like an SC3 issue.

 

[PhantomCruiser]

Separates fine more me... The problem I'm having is getting into a stable orbit, but you did warn u s about the autopilot.

 

[Donamy]
