SpaceX Starship SN15

Starship SN15

Or at least as close as I could get with a week of work.

All control is made aerodynamically, using the elonerons, or with engine gimballing. ABSOLUTELY NO gyroscopes, rcn thrusters, or artificial stability with hidden interior wings.

Controls

Overview

*This takes a small amount of time to learn but just be patient!

Here is the basic overview: you ascend up to desired altitude. Then, you cut the engines and flip on your belly to slow down. At the last moment, flip feet-first and land by your engines.

Staging

Stages designed to be quick access, so for example, you dont need to disable ag1 for the engines to cut off, just press ag2. Then, ag3 will turn them on again no matter the state of ag1 or ag2.

Ag1 - Main engine ignition
Ag2 - Main engine cut off and flap(eloneron) activation
Ag3 - Flaps into negative stability position, engine reignition, landing legs extend
Ag4 - Main engine cut off

Yaw, Pitch, Roll

When you are spawned in and facing the back of the rocket, looking down the runway:

Pitch nose away and to you

Yaw nose left and right

Roll twisting the rocket side to side

These are just like a normal plane when the rocket is on its belly

    Two tips:
    1) If you need help controlling your descent, just make sure group 2 is on and let go. The descent is passively stable.
    2) Always activate group 4 the moment you hit the ground to cut off the raptors. Setting 0% throttle will not do it.
