Support STS-131 Real Time scenario for Expansion pack users

I believe it is a concern of high latitude ice clouds, that might be present, in the upper atmosphere, why they tend to not do DN re-entries.

That's only during the summer months. Spring, fall and winter months are OK.

There's that, then it's also a concern with the entry groundtrack over populated areas and the potential for debris if anything goes wrong (such as Columbia during 107).

FD12 Real-Time scenario

Attached is the real-time scenario for FD12. The MPLM is stored in the payload bay. I was going to have it at the low hover position on the SSRMS, but the attachment points on the MPLM don't appear to be correct.

Real-time scenario for Flight Day 11 (with the MPLM stowed in Discovery again) and also a preliminary FD15 landing scenario for orbit 222. It is notable that this is a decending-node entry, the first I believe since STS-107. Just use AutoFCS to target KSC RWY33 for an entry and landing on April 19.

Great, my first successful shuttle re-entry! Thanks. And thanks to AutoFCS also.

Updated scenarios, MPLM file for STS-131 Expansion pack users

Attached is a zip file of updated real-time scenario files and the MPLM ini file that fixes the grappling points. The FD11 and FD12 scenarios now have the MPLM at the low hover position. Also included are real-time scenarios for FD13 (pre and post undocking), an undocking scenario, and a real-time scenario for FD14. The FD15 first opportunity landing scenario is also included. This patch is also being applied to the STS-131 Expansion packages on Orbithangar as updates to the packages.

Updated Scenarios

Some updates based upon the latest state vectors. FD14 real-time now includes pre and post orbit adjust burn scheduled for ~ 17:31 GMT tomorrow. Both of the landing opportunities on Monday are included.
