How's this for a challenge?
Take off in a XR2 Ravenstar from Cape Canaveral (or the base of your choice), dock with Mir to refuel, land at Brighton Beach and then get back at the SAME base you took off from, in 48 hours or LESS!
The catch is that you have to use ONLY the expert/realistic settings in the XR2 Ravenstar Configuration File and NO PAYLOAD!
Here is a partially annotated playback (it was too late in the night to finish the annotation, but the flight is complete.)
Time from take off to landing 1day 22hours 23min.Â
Made it on Orbiter 2009 beta
Just unzip the files to your orbiter directory.
Many thanks to all the add-on developers that made this flight possible and of course a great big THANKS to the man himself Dr Martin Schweiger.
