The MAKS (Multipurpose aerospace system) is a Soviet air-launched orbiter reusable launch system project that was proposed in 1988, but cancelled in 1991. The MAKS orbiter was supposed to reduce the cost of transporting materials to Earth orbit by a factor of ten. The reusable orbiter and its external expendable fuel tank would have been launched by an Antonov AN-225 airplane.

Controls :
AG 1 : Wings
AG 2 : Open/Close cargo bay
AG 3 : Fold/Unfold wings
AG 4 : Cockpit Lights
AG 5 : Drain Fuel
AG 6, 7 and 9 are unassigned
AG 8 : Landing Gears
AG 10 : RCS
The take off and air launch are automated, just activate the 1rst stage and set thottle to 100%.

hope you enjoy even tho it lack a few features.

    @TerraSpaceYT thanks, even tho the shuttle itself do fly kinda weird a bit, for the lift off i dont know how it could happen, the antonov should launch at the specified altitude in the vizzy

    Spaceplen crash, me sad :(., but seriously, amazing work on the shuttle, just i tried to fly the spaceplane and i crashed because it auto launched me from the antonov at a low ish hieght so i re-entered despite continuing the orbit raising burn., which was funny to play around with, but it flies well in general, i cant even get a spaceplane to fly most of the time, let alone build it onto another plane.

    @Planetloversaredope have you drained the fuel when it happened ? keeping the remaining fuel can disturb the way it fly, pitch up too quickly can also do this

    I found something out, this likes to cobra at low glide altitudes (orbiter with wings out)
