Assisted Launch vehicle

[Chozo Nomad]

Has anyone had luck with these? It's been a while since I've played and I'm wondering with these new updates if this kind of craft is viable? I'm limited right now with what I can access because I'm in career mode.

Thanks for any feedback!

Edit: It'd probably help to explain it a little x) Basically you strap a smaller vehicle on top of a plane then punch out to a high altitude and release the rocket on top. In theory it's a cost effective way to get payloads to orbit.

It's a little easier since the physics range was increased to around 20km in atmosphere. But you'll want to wait for at least turbojets because basic jets won't get you up high enough to orbit the little rocket without the plane de-spawning.

If you're using Flight Manager for Reusable Stages then it's a different story, but that mod hasn't been updated for 1.0 yet.
