IITS - Lightning
Here I introduce you to the Inter-Island Transport System, which is a series of pure rocket powered vehicles that each have the capability to reach every island! This spaceplane is the first in the series, capable of mach 4+ and can fly all the way from Snowstone to Maywar (greatest distance between 2 islands) in just a few minutes.
FOR PILOTS:
Pitch control is sensitive to make it work at high altitudes, so on lower altitudes be careful using pitch. Roll on the other hand is very slow, as this will allow great control at high speeds.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Start main engine: AG-1, use the main engine to climb to an altitude of atleast 20,000 ft (you can also go to 50,000 ft first if you're going for very long trips, I did this on the flight from Snowstone to Maywar)
Once at altitude, activate group 2 for the second stage
There are 5 stages excluding the main engine, fire them up after eachother with group 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively (when one engine runs out, fire up the next one).
Cruise at about 100,000 ft altitude (this is where you can still see islands)
OPTIONAL: Once you have arrived at your destination, you can jettison the 2 boosters with group 7 (allows for better gliding)
