No votes solicited; this is a public file transfer. Will be deleted soon. Posted in response to a query sent to @SledDriver about building an SSTO. Silly rabbit, SP is atmosphere only. In flight mechanics at 25,000 mph a real spacecraft would leave Earth’s gravity. This was a sanity check of SP physics. Have fun testing! Use 50% power for takeoff. Level at 50,000 feet ASL, full throttle cruise is 35,000 mph. Fly higher, and exit Jundroo Sim-Earth.

Thank you, @belugasub
@Stingray There weren't news for porting the game to mobile devices in my memory. If you run SR2 on OSX you can try specifying the game's symptons. The devs released several updates in the past few months. The project was pretty active, I think.
SR2 was advertised as a simple new release. In beta testing I discovered SR2 was neither mobile friendly or desktop OSX compliant. @AndrewGarrison @SimpleEric
@Stingray Alright, good luck!
@SimpleEric Yeah, this was a new build this week on SimplePlanes to re-test SP physics. Same results, on a build more easily controlled. I doubt that Jundroo developers were allowed to code what it takes for real SSTO to exist within SP physics boundaries. These developers seem to adhere to real-world physics. I will find out, when I sign up for SR2.
