Auto Credit Based on tsampoy's Boosters and External Tank
This is incomplete-ABANDONED- soOooooo.... ....Coming Soon
I don’t know why but it wiggles a lot when it reaches an altitude of 1,500 feet.
Please Enjoy! I have spent LOTS of time on this.
Upvotes are appreciated, but you don’t have too until I upload the full version.
IT EVEN HAS A CARGO BAY

@CDRxavier Yes, thanks
@tsampoy
Here i found a link (to a site with picture of the rear end)
Nobody sees these because it's either shown flying or have that massive trail of fire (and smoke) lol
here
No need to thank me or anything. I need it too
@CDRxavier Ok, thanks
@tsampoy
I never had figured it out if I had not tried to build a actual space shuttle in Kerbal Space Program.
If you did then it become extremely apparent because each if the space shuttle's main engines give you 900KN at sea level while the boosters only give some 1200 KN each (not at 100% throttle to prevent accelerating too fast and burning up in atmosphere)
In fact, exactly as my first few attempts in KSP (that, of course, went boom, lol) it immediately pitched down (it was at pitch 90, remember?) so hard.
Yep. you need to angle the thrusters. Look at the airflow deflecting plate, it's angled!
But its okay. It's rocket science lol
I don't know too much about the OMS (orbital maneuvering system, a.k.a smaller engines) though, but because it's on top of the shuttle I reason it should be similarly angled (maybe 10 degrees) to point roughly toward the center of mass (of the shuttle)
@CDRxavier Ahhh yes. Thank you. I just need to adjust the angle of the main shuttle engines. Thanks
@tsampoy
lol.
The reason it will never fly is because the boosters of the shuttle is at a wrong angle
If the solid rocket boosters got detached, the center of thrust will be off the center of mass (which will be between the tank and the plane) which will cause the entire thing to ... well, go under Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly.
Angle the Space shuttle's main engines 22.5 degrees (outward) should slightly improve this issue.
@SimpleMADNESS I’ll try...
Very nice so far, hope you would finish it in the near future
@tsampoy you're welcome!
@NaCl10 Thanks!
@tsampoy this is amazing! Way better than anything I could do!
@TheXDimension32 Thanks!
Hey, that's really good, look at my first one and the trash of it
Please do or it will be space shuttle ugly lol 😆
@AvroPilot Thanks
@AvroPilot Yeah, I abandoned it sooo, I can’t sorry. Maybe I’ll do it though.
Tsamboy fix the copit and nose area because it looks funky (not to be mean dude)
