In memory of the crew of the VSS Enterprise, which crashed 10/31/2014, killing Michael Alsbury and injuring Pete Siebold. This aircraft is rather easy to fly, but has some little quirks that inexperienced pilots may need to watch out for. The VSS Enterprise(SS2) can be launched from the included VMS Eve(WK2) by pressing num1. Do not try to launch if you are below 300mph or if you are maneuvering. Alternatively, both aircraft are capable of being flown as individual aircraft, if you so desire.

    @JMicah4 Several reasons why I've been quiet. I have been busy working on the SimpleWarships mod for SP, I have been busy with other things IRL, and I haven't had the motivation to build anything, and nothing I have tried to build recently has panned out.

    @mufasa6896 All it needs is some polish. The hull shape may do with being more rounded and streamlined, specifically.

    Utterly fabulous sir. I wanted to have a go at a design like this, like the scaled composites designs. This is a real masterpiece. Well done

    Beautiful work! Keep the nose up a bit @ 330 mph or more to achieve in-air launch.

    Very cool and fun to fly as long as you don't pitch down too hard. Great work, Thanks for posting
