NASA STS Atlantis (DLC) (shuttle systems)

Forget this Jalopy! new patch new SRB's NEW Endeavour 1.8 MOAR BOOSTERS https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1891291833

Servos move engines and probe cores as the shuttle reaches different parts of its flight. This is controlled by "Action Group Staging"

Press 1 or 9 to separate the first stage (SRB)

Press 2 or 0 to separate the external tank and activate the space plane orbiter

These action groups must be pressed to ensure maximum stability for every payload

When you re-enter the atmosphere at 35000 Km press 3 or "Abort" to set the cockpit as the control point.

Atlantis can carry 0 to 36+ tons to orbit without needing to be edited (edit in the SPH)

The shuttle is more stable if you roll over after seperating the SRB's (1 -9) but you can still fly "upside down" up to high altitudes, like real life. Good luck and fly safe

Warning! please dont fill up the rearmost fuel tanks representing the OMS. these are aesthetic parts and the plane has been balanced with these empty. too much fuel in the orbiter can adversely affect landing

Tip for landing a spaceplane on the runway from orbit. Dont aim for the runway, aim to be 20000 Km directly over the runway and use your wings to close the gap as you approach
