Visually, you'd need something like B9's aerospace pack or something to give you an authentic looking passenger jet, beyond that, this would be super easy.

Not really. although I think I did use some of the B9 for the tank, not too sure..

 

not exactly the same thing but.. it worked if I didnt deploy the parachute too quick.. would have been a nice aerolaunch lander

 

or here we go, a documentry on how not to do that

It's a shame that mod was discontinued, you could leave your carrier in the atmosphere with SAS on while getting your spacecraft in orbit, then come back and land your carrier.

kOS seems to have an option to increase the 'physics bubble' as well, if I understand the relevant documentation correctly. However, I haven't had the time to play around with it... has anyone else tried? (I also heard BDArmory can extend the unloading range).

This is something I might look at soon, or at least, how you can work around the physics bubble, to get one craft into orbit, inside the bubble while you aren't piloting it.
