Hey all,
I've recently downloaded the DG-Launchers (which are cool by the way), but I'm having a bit of trouble with XR2 launches with the European launcher.
Basically, I can launch just fine. The SRB's come off, and the spacecraft continues with the external tank attached. But then, for some reason, the external tank suddenly jettisons automatically without attaining orbit, leaving my XR2 to dip back into the atmosphere and burn up.
I thought it might be because the XR2 was too heavy, but I used the scenario editor to get rid of virtually all the fuel, and all the payload, and it still seems to have the problem with being unable to automatically attain orbit -- and prematurely jettisoning the tank.
Also, on a quick side not. I remember I used to be able to do automatic re-entries and landing with the Shuttle Fleet using the FCS I think it was called, but now it doesn't seem possible. Is that simply due the fact that's it's not compatible with Orbiter 2010? It's not a huge deal, since I can still use the maintain attitude function on the MFD.
