Hi Folks, It has been discussed that 0.23 will bring support to 3dconnexion devices. I own a spaceNavigator, however I can't seem to find how to activate it within the game. Is there a hidden option to enable (either in KSP or on the driver), or maybe a specific driver I should be using? any input would be greatly appreciated, 10x, Uri ----------- Update I've managed to get the mouse to work to change the view in the VAB (and in the 3d world) by intalling the "normal" Drivers instead of the "advanced" drivers they have available. As for activating as flight controller, there is a switch key (default to scroll-lock) defined in the "Other" category under "Input". Now I just need to figure out deadzones. Leaving it for search to find by all other interested

They Actually build and designed the shuttle to do that. with some systems have quad redundancy, providing fail-GO-fail-Go-fail-safe capability. There is an MIT open-courseware series about the Space shuttle (and other aspects of space flight engineering). http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/aeronautics-and-astronautics/16-885j-aircraft-systems-engineering-fall-2005/

Actually the shuttle did have quite substantial amount of Dv in the OMS system, however it would have consumed all it's mono propellant just to get most of the TLI, not all of it. In theory, it would have been possible to add mono-prop plant tanks in the cargo bay. It is nasty hypogolics, but it's easier to handle then LH/LOX. In the bay you would also be able to carry the LM. However, you would be required to carry the entire airframe there and back. Ironically, the Russian Buran is better suited to this crazy thing, as it didn't have real engines and plumbing as the SSMEs are. All of the power needed for the launch came from its launcher (energia). Putting the Space shuttle crew compartment into capsule form would have made more sense for exploration. But that exactly the Orion CEV. same space per person as the space shuttle. And no Apollo-style "surprise bags×´.

Nice find! Google translate has issues with language nuances. So "send little people to space' became send "pupils to chambers" but it's mostly readable. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A//www.haaretz.co.il/captain/games/1.2118068
