It's here!
The fully stacked, insanely massive rocket from SpaceX, the revolutionary Starship. Complete with 31 Raptors on SuperHeavy, 3 Raptors and 3 Vactors on Starship, and the capability of landing.
With as much effort placed into the aesthetics and style as was into the functionality, this rocket is fully reusable, and both stages are capable of landing.
From the grid fins on SuperHeavy to the elonerons on Starship, everything is functional.
This vehicle comes complete with two auto-orbit scripts, on to launch it from T-5 minutes, showing flap testing and a "startup" call, and another to launch from T-10 seconds.
Okay, all that out of the way, there are issues with this. The landing legs, for one. Technically they do work fine, but they don't 100% work yet using just the activation group. I'm working on it.
Other than that, the elonerons do work, but they have to be actuated using the sliders, as attempting to have pitch control them wound up inevitable trying to turn them a full 180*, rather than the less than 90 they are actually supposed to be capable of.
Aesthetically, the main issue is SuperHeavy, which I believe to be rather underdetailed right now, though the aerocovers around the elonerons on Starship are missing. I can't add them. I'm sorry.
Okay, that said, on to the activation groups:
AG1: Forward elonerons
AG2: Aft elonerons
AG3: Vactor ignition/shutdown
AG4: Raptor ignition/shutdown
AG5: Auto-orbit (T-5:00)
AG6: Grid fin deploy
AG7: Auto-orbit (T-10)
AG8: Landing leg deploy (requires RCS off)(currently broken, put Slider 1 at -1 to deploy)
AG9: Grid fin actuators
AG0: RCS/Activate landing legs
Slider 1: Forward flaps/landing legs
Slider2: Aft flaps/Grid fin deploy

@notsorry
I actually 100% agree, I think it's just the lack of aerocovers, though. They're accurate proportionally to the Starship. I can check again, but as far as I can tell it's correct :/ -
@notsorry They look proper to me, but I'll rotate their hinge before uploading the next update, they don't rotate quite right so I will fix that.
