Space Shuttle Discovery made for RSS
===== READ BELLOW =====
You'll need to disable heat damage to survive reentry.
AG1 : Control the attitude of the Orbiter from reentry until landing, to be kept activated during those flight phases)
AG2 : Control the attitude of the Orbiter in space
AG3 : Try to deorbit the orbiter after targeting a landing site (WIP, can "sometime" work, don't count on it)
AG4 : Launch the Shuttle
AG8 : Deploy landing gear, only work under 100m during landing
AG9 : Toggle Cargo Bya
AG10 : Do nothing
AG14 : Set the inclination of the target orbit (WIP)
AG15 : Set the failure mode of the SSME (not recommended to be used)
===== HOW TO USE =====
Lauching the Shuttle :
-wait until the pad's umbilicals are rotated out of the way of the shuttle
-press AG14 to set inclination
-press AG4 to launch
Ascent :
-do nothing, it's vizzy controlled until the last OMS Burn
-that last OMS burn must be made manually, using AG2, the vizzy has been removed due to accuracy issue
Orbital maneuvering :
-AG2 activated, all other AGs off
-use roll, pitch and yaw input to control the attitude
-use the throttle input to use the OMS engines
Deorbit :
-recommended to be manually done
-can use AG3, with all other AG off
Reentry + landing :
-AG1 activated, all other AG off
- latest moment to activate the AG is when the orbiter is under 130 km altitude
-when the Orbiter attitude flaten (around 1000m/s), it becomes user controlled through a FBW system
-FBW is set to keep the current attitude (Pitch angle and Roll angle) of the Orbiter
- when close to the ground, activate AG8, then land
You should be able to use this Shuttle with those modests indications.

@MoTi i'm on PC, the craft is made for the Real Solar System and uses several mods, so it is not made for mobile sorry

Hi there! please tell me what technical requirements are needed for such ships? 8Gb or 16 Gb of RAM, M2 or M4 processor from Apple...otherwise you look and don’t understand what devices you play on?!))
