The Orion had a LES, and it's kinda wobbly, but the Orion itself is beautiful! Especially the Command Module!

Here, have some +rep!

Thanks for your note!

Actually, I have craft with LES, but I don't like how it looks, so I'll release it after some corrections

[Nik_601]

Finally, I've done it! Now LES works correct and looks fine

Also download link was updated
