This is the English version (French version is available on the Papy's Hangar).

This add-on is designed to be installed in addition to the KOUROU CSG Centre Spatial add-on v 5.1

Very promising scenari: At the moment I ran the T-10s, and the first time without reading the manual.

I like very much the PDF you provided, especially the detailed timeline and the payloads description (friends of mine own one of the payloads!, if you were operating this flight, I must thank you for the nice launch on their behalf). It really looks like an Ariane (5) User Manual that I was used to read in the past

May I suggest you insist / explain that the user has to interact, during the scenario, with the keys specified in the manual. Otherwise we just don't see the jettisoning. I still need to play it again as soon as I've got more time: not clear to me when/why/how the user has to control the orientation. Maybe it's said in the manual but I couldn't find at first (quick) reading.


EDIT (11-APR-25) I confirm this is a really cool addon: I layed the scenario T-10s entirely. To the end, I manually jettisoned the re-entry probes Nyx-Bikini and SpaceCase, then passivated the ULPM and guided up to re-entry. After that, with scenario editor I changed slightly the orbital parameters of Nyx-Bikini and SpaceCase to make them re-enter... and you know what? Both probes oriented towards the areodynamic flux (was it expected?) and the final splash down was fun and unexpected! Really nice and educational.

Launching from PFRR Alaska in Orbiter 2024...



It went automatically into a Retrograde orbit so I think that's why the other guy was having fuel problems...



It made the Alt but never got the speed but that's what happens when they swim upstream...



I think it's great though with a little fine tuning... *****
