[UDI] - Arnalon Mk2.1 Launch site

Based on the original Arnalon rocket (released not too long ago), it has gone through significant changes. Although it may seem similar in shape and form, a lot has changed and is far more advanced.

The designers had noticed that it's first stage had too much fuel, and cut the amount by half and engine output increased. This resulted in weight savings and allowed that all the necessary fuel would be spent (exiting sphere of influence). The booster rockets have also been changed. The Bulky Hydrogen system in the booster pods have been replaced with Atmospheric Thrusters, and an air intake has also been placed onto the side of the pods. The Cargo pod still holds 2 passengers and 2 large cargo containers, but has received a bit of a facelift.

The Launch Site has been upgraded, the gangway to the pod has been completely revamped to prevent you from accidentally falling and a smooth retraction from the rocket. Not only that, The launch system has been completely automated as well as made flashier, all you have to do is press a button and upon lift-off, orient the rocket. All detachments happen automatically.

Hope you enjoy it!

\!/ SUPER IMPORTANT NOTE \!/
Right now it is recommended to use a speed mod with this. The staging is not altitude based so at vanilla speeds the timings WILL make the stages drop early! I will try to fix this next thing in the morning so until then use a speed mod that gets you to 250m/s
-----------------------
Controls:

1. Activate Countdown

3. Detach Stage 2 Engine (Only active when automated lauch is complete)

8. Toggle Artificial Horizon
9. Open/Close Hatch

Note: Because of how I originally built it, it will be facing the wrong way when you paste it. In order to remedy this simply press B. This snaps it into a vertical position so all you have to do is place it down.
Edit: To minimise damage when placing it down (The rocket is a separate grid from the launch site and... y'know, pistons and such), make a small platform placed in the ground and paste the launch site onto that. It should not move an inch when you place it like that.

Video added: Thank you so much BeeSkee for making a showcase video of my ship, almost feels honorable how much popularity this has gotten!
