Nicely done, its a great video. For a little bit more control if you want to fly it manually I'd suggest to only re-ignite some of the engines, just like F9 in real life. (3 engines for the reentry burn but most importantly only the center engine for the actual landing) Looks like Mechjeb did a pretty crisp suicide burn there, I bet this is hard to do manually.

Yes you're right about the engines. For the landing burn I tried to do it manually, it's really hard, I succeded once but with KSP interface enabled and in a non realistic way so I couldn't keep the records for the video.

[SpaceX's Falcon 9 launch and recovery]

I made a SpaceX's Falcon 9 launch simulation with the deployment of a dummy satellite and the recovery of the first stage on the drone ship. I always love seeing the lives launches from SpaceX and I just wanted to do it in KSP so we can see it from a better angle.

I used some mods like :

- SpaceX Launch Vehicles crafts
- Environmental Visual Enhancements
- Distant Object Enhancement
- Stock Visual Enhancements
- PlanetShine
- Camera Tools
- MechJeb

[Build our own cap]

sal_vager-> Yes this was exactly this website, thanks !

Sirrobert-> Ok I didn't know it is called fairing in english. So yes, as I expected, it exists a new mod now, I will try this procedural fairings mod, that's sound great !

Thanks

[Build our own cap]

It existed a website where we could build and export our own caps for our satellites in the atmosphere to make them more realistic, but I can't remember the name of this website.

We could build realistic caps and open them like in this picture :

Can someone know which site am I talking about ?

Or maybe it exists now a new mod in KSP to do this.
