Great work! Congrats

Ayyy, congrats on release, been following development, and it is a really well done mod!

Sweet! I’m gonna download this when I get back from work!

I noticed that depthmask is a prerequisite, and that it’s already included in Restock. Do we still need it if we already have restock installed?

Pathfinder with a Spacelab style payload using Buffalo 2 modules.

Other than the aforementioned bouncyness I am loving this!

Did I ever mention how beautiful this mod is?

[G'th]

Suggestion, could we get a toggle for the little stabilizer on the rear fuselage?

I know its accurate to the show, but its just so ugly lmao.

Can/should I remove the depthmask from the root of gamedata?

Yes, remove it!

Congratulations on the release of this wonderful mod!Pathfinder is  just great!
But I have a question: how can it be easily launched into space?:P
Or does everyone have their own fantasy have to work here?
I just tried to combine the shuttle and the A300, and was able to take off only 2000m by plane, which is very little
