Hello guys.

So, I'm working on a capsule that I'll be coding with spacecraft3. Nothing too fancy, but I was wondering if anyone can give me advice as to how I would go about adding parachutes to my vessel when the time comes?

Is it possible to do it in spacecraft3?

Do I need to just buckle down and learn how to code?

:cheers:

I think the Pollux/Castor capsule would be a good place to look. It has parachutes and is SC3.

Also the HLV/Ariane6 missions are SC3.

Be a good place to look and see how they did it.

Thank you for the example. I'll take a look at this and see if this tells me what I need to know.

Basically you can prepare animation sequence for chute deployment and tie it to speedbrake key in aerodynamics section.
