Recently I have been making an addon called the Gemini Paraglider. All is well except that it CTDs. during 150 seconds in the flight or something around that time. I have looked through it many times, switched things around, and still it does not work. Here is the link to it, and I'll post my ini. up here for quick reference.

I went ahead and changed the Gemini cone to a 5th stage and added a BurnTime and as of now it is working fine. That problem was really wierd though.

You could add this into Gemini8.ini:

Delete "VISIBLE=1"

Add this:

CAMERA=(-0.4,0.567,-0.175)
FOCUS=1

[VC]
MESHNAME="Gemini8"

Pressing F8 go into Gemini VC.
