The Dream Crusher is still in the paint shop. Please wait until Sunday, then the color should be dry.

The first three test flights have been successfully completed:

- Glide flight from 4000 m altitude with subsequent landing on parachutes
- Glide flight test from 8000 m altitude, function check of the engines, with subsequent landing on the landing gear
- First orbital flight with re-entry and landing (Launch on ALIYANA 6)

Screenshot from first orbital flight.

Now follow the configurations of KIS, TACLS and the creation of the IVA placeholder. The cargo variant is already finished texturized and will celebrate its entry into the VAB tomorrow.

Interesting, I was just looking for a small capsule that include a cargo bay to return these expensive science experiment back home. Lifting body are make landing close to KSP much easier.

Nice but it's wrong scale. You can set the scale via Tweakscale to 50%?

After the lattice brake flap for FALKE X here is now the first screenshot of the landing leg. Work on the carrier rocket FALKE X (Falcon 9) is proceeding rapidly. A second, KAPPA IV (Delta IV) is already well advanced.

The Contares' engineers are confident that the fine tuning has been completed satisfactorily. The PR department has decided to publish this advertising poster with the different versions.

I have a part on my craft named "CSAS-A 2500" does this come from your mod?  I can't find a .cfg for it in the folders but I may be missing it in all the sub folders of this mod.

 

asking because I am trying to add CLS support to this part, and need the name for a MM patch.

 

 

EDIT: oh and is this WIP for US-plus going to be added to the main mod when finished?  or will it always be a separate download?

Hello Bit Fiddler,

the 'CSAS-A 2500' configuration file is SAS-2500.cfg in the ../Parts/SAS directory.

The decision whether US-plus will be part of the main mod contares is not yet decided.
