Just fly it 2
Okay been working more on this craft. touched up some components and have had successful landing with it! Few changes you will notice so be sure to read fully.
1. Activates the tail fin rockets
2. Detaches tail fin rockets, the rocket on the back between the two back tail fins, and Detaches Boosters, Activates the three jets on the belly of the craft
3. Activates Rocket Booster rockets
4. Deploys parachute after landing.
5. Activates/Deactivates the Main Wing assembly rotators (controlled by VTOL)
6. Detaches the belly Rockets (I wouldn't hit until landing)
7. Activates Main Wing jets.
8. Activates the belly side tail fin rotators (so you can land, also controlled now by TRIM)
TO FLY
When the level loads. The craft will be sitting there. First off you need to:
1. Activate 1 and 3, and Retract landing gear. you DO NOT need to deactivate 8 for the tail fin rotators are now controlled by TRIM.
2. Use the VTOL angels on the tail and booster jets to stabilize the craft as you ascend to the clouds.
3. When ready (best performance/ control over craft, was before hitting 60,000ft) detach Tail fin jets and Boosters by pressing two (2). Before Detaching the Tail fin jets and boosters, ensure you have zero power to the engines (if you have power, the engines will crash into the craft), you do not have to be at 60-90 degrees but when I fly it, I try to be belly up tilting backwards like a normal Space shuttle launch.
4. When pressing two (2), you also activate the belly jets. As you are now flying with only these jets, you will want to start to descend. By this time you will have only around 36% Fuel. While in your steep descend, turn belly jets on full to pitch up. By this time you should be lining up with a runway.
5. Turn on five (5) and seven (7), (5) allows you to be able to rotate the main wings, and (7) activates the Main Wing jets. I've noticed rotating the wings slightly up and down helped with lift and pitch. You will use this in Step 7.
6. By this step, you should be in final approach, or very close to the runway to detach the belly jets by clicking six (6).
7. As soon as you detach the belly jets, also activate eight (8) to use the Trim to rotate the tail fins up to land. You will want the Main Wing Assembly pitched helping with your lift, because once you rotate the tail fins up, this will cause the Craft to pitch down, so by using the Main Wing rotators, rotating the wings to create lift, bringing the nose up, you can reate a balance between the forces of lift and gravity.
8. Easy enough now, lower landing gear, play around with the VTOL and basically slowly descend, glide to a touchdown. Once touched down use the Parachute, (4), and speed brakes to stop,
Hope you can do it!!
Best way I do it is Launch from USS Tiny, and land at Wright Airport.
Tell me what you all think!
