IVA re-entrys are cool

[abowl]

IVA re-entrys are cool as ..... But i feel like they can be made even more imersive. More shaking, alarms going off etc. I dont know if anyone have tried an IVA re-entry, try it out, preferably with the UI hidden so you only got the instruments in the cockpit to use. Its actually pretty cool. If anyone would be up to increasing this immersion with more shaking, and alarms etc. that would be awesome!

Have you heard the good news of RasterPropMonitor? No extra alarms, but you get lots of informative screens and multi-functional displays.

Try IVA landing for extra extra fun. And, yes, Raster Prop Monitor is what you're after.

Having recently managed my first IVA docking...

...I thought I'd give IVA reentry and landing a try.

I'd already launched into orbit with a Kerbodyne Gull, delivering a probe that was soon to zoom off to Duna and Ike.

But now it was time to come back down.

Lodnand is hopeful.

So is Philfrod.

Possibly without cause.

This could be awkward.

Still, all good for now.

Time to turn around and head back to KSC.

The ability to zoom on the instruments is quite useful at times. Better than external view flying.

Oops.

How far to KSC? Maybe we can glide.

Oh.

Well, we might be able to make land at least.

Phew.

We won't make it over the next bit of ocean, though. Best put it down now while the ground is flat-ish.

Nice smooth approach...

And down.

These brakes aren't working very well. I think we may be on a bit of a slope...

Uh-oh, bumpy bit...

More bumps...

...and finally to a halt.

Just a little scratch.

Time to call the recovery crew...
