In a couple of deorbit tutorials I saw that DG descends on its side (90 degrees of roll), so I was very confused with it like some unnatural.

Doesn't matter so much which side of the spacecraft faces earth. The atmospheric resistance comes from the direction of its velocity vector, not "down", so ultimately it only matters at what angle your heatshield is aligned to that, not what orieantation it has to the earths surface.

Polaris A-2:





Polaris A-3:









These models are works-in-progress; when time permits I want to fit them (at least the A-3) for proper 2-stage flight.

Hi-Ho,

Here I am testing out my base at Bahía Blanca Airport (BHI - SAZB). A surreal sight of a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft with a space shuttle. In the background you can see the Sierras de La Ventana (mountains).

This looked really good, you said it was daunting, how far did you get? Really want to fly a heli there!

Last I heard it was floating (using the skiff lua script?), any chance to post it so we can have a play? Maybe someone will pick it up and expand on it, and it would make a nice scenery extra.

Today I found out that DG automatically displays it's name on the tail:

I think working on Habana has a lot of value : it is near KSC, likely to be a 'first destination' for many people, and the islands on the way are gorgeous.

Some XR2 Ravenstar Pics running on CachyOS Linux for your consideration. Enjoy!

At least in Orbiter it flies like a dream

Starship at Olympus, Orb24 (hi-res).
I had to add a .flt, otherwise Starship likes to take-off again and try to re-land= fail. And added textures from MrMartians excellent Moons addons (Well's Lunar base Aurora textures).
Have been meaning to start a Base upgrade/installation for Orb16/24 thread, meanwhile attached Olympus .flt and .cfg (requires MrMartians Moons addon), and bonus, Brighton Beach .flt and .cfg (fixes the missing object textures).
