Orbiter SSTO Star Seeker

@FLYGUY101 some good ol FPV flyin

I just love a good view from the pilot's seat!

@ZeusSpaceAgency
You're welcome! LOL

@FLYGUY101 hah! lol I didn’t even notice the cockpit! Wow 🤩

@ZeusSpaceAgency
Thank you! The design is fantastic, and it deserves to operate as well as it looks. Did you get a chance to take a view from the cockpit at all? I revamped the cockpit and gave you a nice view from the pilot's seat.

Amazing! The alerts are so cool! You took this build farther than I ever would! Good job 👏

@ZeusSpaceAgency
So, everything works great, except it doesn't like to go into orbit very well. I'm trying to figure out how I can make it more stable. Anyways, here's a pre-release for you to look at. It flies great in the atmosphere, but it does not want to go into orbit. I gave the craft VTOL capabilities. Let me know what you think!

Presenting The SSTO Star Seeker

@ZeusSpaceAgency
Well... I mean... I was going to. That's kinda my thing. You'd receive the credit of course. I needed a break from my other project though. This is a good side project for me to work on. It's almost done. I got a few things that I want to do to it yet, then it'll be good to go! 👍

@FLYGUY101 if you want to, you can reupload it on your account.

@ZeusSpaceAgency
Well... I got it flying now, and it flies really good in the atmosphere. In space however, it has a hard time maintaining heading. It needs a gyro, a couple of RCS thrusters in the back, and a rebalancing of the center of thrust to center of mass, then it'll fly real nice in space.

@ZeusSpaceAgency
Ah okay! Neat!

@FLYGUY101 lol it’s fine! I actually want to get the simple planes VR! I’ll see if I get the oculus I asked for for Christmas.

Sorry for the paragraph... Sometimes I talk too much.

I played "Simple Planes" since before "Simple Rockets 2" came out. "Simple Planes" is literally the exact same, except that there is no space. The atmospheric physics are there, and the air gets thinner as you increase in altitude, but it's just an endless skybox, and there's no space. You can build rockets too even, except you don't have rocket thrusters anymore, and you have to get creative with the atmospheric thrusters instead, and once you leave the "physical atmosphere", you can't go any higher. You go as high as you can go, then plummet back down towards the surface, and hopefully you have a parachute to save your fall. The short of it is, "Juno: New Origins" and "Simple Planes" are basically the exact same, all except for the space thing. Just keep that in mind before you get it. The only reason I still have "Simple Planes" is because I occasionally want to fly my old builds. If there was a way for me to transfer them into "Juno: New Origins", I wouldn't have "Simple Planes" anymore. I think "Juno: New Origins" is better than "Simple Planes", because in "Simple Planes", you have a couple of islands to explore, and then that's it. The rest is nothing but water. In "Juno: New Origins" however, you have an entire planet to fly around on and explore, and if that gets boring, you have other planets you can explore on top of that. You can do everything that you can do in "Simple Planes", and more. I'm not trying to make you less interested or change your mind or anything... If "Simple Planes" is what you want, then that's great! I just don't want you to think that it's going to be better than "Juno: New Origins", and then wind up buying something that really doesn't interest you after all. In my opinion, if you have "Juno: New Origins", then you have the whole package deal, and unfortunately "Simple Planes", simply won't add to your overall experience. Hopefully this helps you make the decision that's best for you. I'd hate for you to buy something that you come to realize that you really didn't want in the first place.

@ZeusSpaceAgency
👍

@FLYGUY101 I’ll be asking for SP for Christmas! I’ll make sure to check out your account!

@ZeusSpaceAgency
For one of your first builds, the design is excellent! The function though... That needs a little help. LOL
I'm not so good at designing stuff, but I'm known for fixing and/or improving other people's builds, seeing the full potential in something. If you have Simple Planes, check out my profile on the Simple Planes website, and you'll quickly see what I'm talking about.

@FLYGUY101 lol, this was one of my first crafts.

Something went wrong. I'ma fix that later...
