STS-3, twenty-nine years ago. The third orbital test flight of Columbia.

Fleet V4.7.1 is just about ready for release (working on the documentation now); awhile back I received permission from Gazza to use the meshes from his STS Payloads add-on and I've been adapting some of them to the new fleet as time permits. I figured I'd start at the beginning of the Space Shuttle Program...

Well someone need to do that...let it be you.

For your info - I implemented PLB lights to SSU Ctrl+L combination controls them.

Not a real flown one at least. Challenger never carried a IUS/TDRS and a PAM/HS-376 on the same mission.

Nice one (yes, it was a trick question) :thumbup:! I actually got the idea from here:

What addon is that IUS/TDRS from? Is it this one [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3855"]HERE[/ame]?

 

[Star Voyager]

No, I used this (and did some payload re-arranging in the scenario file):

The dangers of Orion...............

2 questions:

1. Why is the runway in the water?
2. Why is the ISS laying on it?

I fired Orion near it which for some reason threw the ISS at the earth.

But i dont know whats with the runway thought

Thermonuclear propulsion has to have its inconveniences :lol:

 

[Izack]

That's the auto-maroon mercy feature. Very handy for when the Victorian space pirates attack.

I guess global warming melt ice cap and sea level rise...with rise of sea level earth atmosphere rise as well and reach orbiting station and slow it down,well to crash on runway must be a luck.
