STS-41-D was the maiden flight of the orbiter Discovery. It also made a flight readiness firing before launch and also cancelled STS-41-F due to an RSLS Abort. The mission had the 1st RSLS abort, meaning the engines started but shut off before liftoff because of a failure detected before liftoff. There would be 4 more of these abort after this mission. Also, the payloads are mostly from the cancelled STS-41-F, which has a logo similar to STS-51-D but the STS-51-D logo has 2 more names. STS-41-D launched with 3 satellites, SBS-4, Syncom IV-2 (Leasat) and Telstar 302. Syncom IV-1 should've launched on this mission but before the launch, it's launch was cancelled and instead launched on STS-51-A. It also has a solar array that demonstrated the feasibility of large lightweight solar panels for future orbital installations, like the ISS.
And you still have to open the solar panel slow even with the support boom there but you have to extend it a bit faster than 1.0. If the solar panel begins to curve, move slider 1 up immediately. Same speed for retraction.
Also, you need to 1st put slider 2 to 100% to extend the magnetometer boom up before using Slider 1 to extend the solar panel itself.
For retraction, put slider 1 to 0% first, then slider 2 to 0%. Also, controls may be inverted in this craft so you may have a hard time landing if you landed my other crafts on the runway. Most noticable is if you rotate the craft on a direction, the wings rotate on the opposite direction and even the rudder rotates on the opposite direction.
Changes of Version 2.0 to version 1.0:
New booster separation
Revamped PAM-D cradle
Revamped satellites
Revamped Canadarm
Added Magnetometer Boom to Solar Panel
Added text to cargo bay doors and radiators
Code Revamp
Revamped PAM-D
Revamped deploy code
Tilted OMS Engines
OMS Flame changed to orange
Added fuel cells (Well, they are kind of replicas with a generator)
Revamped Nose (I think)
Edited landing gear
Added ability to see speed brake outside features at the view at the back
Added new cameras
Changed External Tank color
Labels added to Solar Panel container
Revamped top of Support Boom (1.0 does have the top of the support boom but it's just to bring some realism to the mission by still having the support boom container and the support boom top, but it doesn't have the Magnetometer Boom.)
Made OMS Tanks smoother
I think that's all, I don't know if I missed some. Also I planned to make STS-41-D video before too, but after editing the 1st part, I accidentally deleted the video recordings of the mission in SimpleRockets 2 after exporting the wrong video. So I planned to try to make the mission again after STS-41-C.
