Idk what to say, it's been four months
Massive thanks to the following people, if it werent for them, this wouldnt have been achievable
CaptinD2 For finishing the craft when my pc hit its limit
Riksh For generously donating the orion capsule and service module
Rocketcrazy For the Interrim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS)
Misato For texturing and visuals assistance and inspirational direction
DASX For the interior computers inside the Orion capsule
CardZlol For research and accuracy checks
DeepSpaceIndustries For additional research and accuracy checks
All of you for your continued support this whole time
Now for flight instructions, I'll work on updating the description of this more later, but for now I'll give you the basics:
Heat damage must be disabled. This is because the craft is operating in RSS and is subjected to extreme temperatures during a much more intense and prolonged reentry (we will attempt to get this fixed, but it will take some time)
Physical damage must be disabled. This is because some parts have a tendancy to randomly explode upon launching and the craft was too large to do a full investigation as to why (this will be done at some point soon though)
Upon launching, the core stage has been known to partially disconnect from the pad. If this occurs, then simply retry (not relaunch!) the flight and it should do the trick (how this works, I don't know, so if you do, please let me know)
Throttling up will retract the crew access arm.
Upon liftoff, due to the high amount of parts, there is a high chance that you will be subject to slower running speeds until the launch pad is out of physics range.
Due to a slight miscalculation, the solar panels should not be deployed while the service module is still attached to the ICPS. If you choose to ignore this warning, then there is a good chance your ride will get awfully turbulent during deployment.
Solar panels can be moved using sliders 1 and 2.
Make sure to have as efficent as possible of a flight to the moon, or else you may find yourself stranded and without fuel (it has enough fuel to get there and back, but you have to be efficient with it)
After deploying the parachutes, refrain from activating the next stage as it cuts the parachutes
If you run into any issues, feel free to let me know and we will work to get them fixed.
And lastly, thank you all so much for your continued support, it's meant a lot to us all!

@Gameknight3603 really appreciate that
@Thanhdo23 I’ll be honest with you, I had to build it in pieces and get a friend to put it all together and upload it when it was done, I can barely run it lmao
@Gameknight3603 Can you upload just the launch tower?
that thing killed my pc (even running at 720p)
@JACKIEAEROSPACEINDUSTRIES no
@Gameknight3603 well first things first I can’t even download it because it just crashes so would you mind do that for me?
@JACKIEAEROSPACEINDUSTRIES you said 1000 the first time, if you want under 10,000, just get rid of the launch tower
@Gameknight3603 you can’t get it down to 10,000 parts can you?
@JACKIEAEROSPACEINDUSTRIES I’d recommend using my simple launch system instead, it’s just not possible to take a 11k part craft and get rid of so many parts while expecting it to look remotely anything like it used to
@Gameknight3603 I have a question is it possible to paint the space launch system white and also less parts if you can get it down 1000 parts is good
I wanted from the rocket that you posted please. I want just the Orion spacecraft and abort system from the capsule that you posted@Gameknight3603
@spacechallenger1986 this might be the sort of thing you’re looking for. This is my older Orion but it’s significantly less parts
Hey@Gameknight3603 I have a question can you upload just the Orion spacecraft and abort system
@Gameknight3603 of course I use Discord
@ZiziWorld you got discord? I could hook you up with all sorts of reference images to make the next one even better
Hey I made a SLS block 2 Artemis ii, check it out! It's inspired by your post.
@Gameknight3603 oh I'm on mobile with 4 GB ram but I'll try it when I'll get better device next month
@ZiziWorld you can try using the absolute minimum for graphics and it might work, remotely smoothly, would you believe me if i told you that i could run it smoother on a laptop with 4gb of ram then on a pc with 8?
Dude, I'm crying right now, because I can't download this awesome creation, this will destroy my device, it has 4 GB ram T_T
@Gameknight3603 Can you make this SLS have a non pad craft?
@Gameknight3603 lol k 👌
@StarmanG100 respectfully, I will not, I worked hard to make something that could hold that title
@Gameknight3603 also i dare you to remove the device killer tag
@DiamondModerator now me personally i would just beat @Gameknight3603 up irl
@AlphaAreospace 😏
