A complex model not for the faint of heart. Ask questions.

Props to Devo for the Eagles, and all the other excellent MOD developers. I envy your skills. The next step for this is all customs parts, and also, all the ships from 1999 eventually, accurate to hyperaccurate, with no compromises. A steep learning curve.

I still consider this a WIP but am tired of not sharing it at this point. I have been working on it over a month.

Launch checklist:

0 (zero key) - bring up TAC fuel balancer and equalize all resources seperately; close it

SPACE BAR - activates the Eagle enginesd - which are controlled via the little grey box - press the box with "Main Engines"

Throttle up at least 4/5ths

SPACE BAR releases clamps

Now (or sooner / or later) press T to engage SAS

At an altitude and groundspeed of your choice, jettison the Eagles by pressing SPACE BAR

Press SPACE BAR to ignite META's engines.

This is as far as I have gotten. I don't know how to point the SAS at a celestial object and navigate.

Further pressing SPACE BAR you will see META come apart at various locations. The final stage engaging tiny Command Module rockets to get you away.

==================================================================

R - for RCS

9 - deploys and retracts the solar array. If you're moving and in the atmosphere they will shatter. The will not be harmed extended in space with up to full thrust.

My sincere apologies: do not install uploads_2013_05_KSPX-0.2.2 in a 0.19 Kerbal - the program wont ever finish loading. The other KSPX 0.2.1 is there - only use that.
