Review by doggie015
Pros: Amazing design and very well executed
Cons: may need to be updated for Orbiter 2006
Review:
Overall a good addon, one problem though: I have the brighton beach tower going through the enclosure at the launch end of the big railgun

Don't launch a DGIV without tweaking the launcher: you'll kill the crew!

This maybe good if max speed is 299000000m/s

 

[MaverickSawyer]

IIRC, the top speed is hard-coded into it. Sorry.

Is this compatible with 2010 version and DGIV?

 

[MaverickSawyer]

2010? Yes. DG-IV? No, it kills your crew.

 

[Izack]

It kills your crew.

That's not incompatible, it's just a minor setback!

But if you put the DGIV on safe mode, would that protect them?

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Dunno. Never tried that. Could try putting it into "Chicken Mode"...
