Space Shuttle Atlantis

The Space Shuttle was the most iconic spacecraft ever build, and was designed and manifactured by NASA, it was built as a low orbit reusable shuttle for low orbit transportation system for civilian and military cargo and for crew flights to space stations like the ISS.

I recreated the Space Shutlle with help from visionofevil as best as we could, and we will continue working on it.

On its current state its just a WIP side Project, and cant fly yet, but i will make it fly soon, but while i work on it, you can just spawn it somewhere and look at it^^

As soon as i finished it, i will build the orange tank and the boosters, and then we finnaly would be able to do a full space shuttle flight, even if there is no space :steamhappy:

Video (How to [dont] fly the Shuttle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mibWIhjxhiI&t=649s )

Please like and commend, if you like it, then we might consider to create more like this!

How to use it:

Start up the engines with the 3 keys above the main panel.

Set throttle for taxi as seen below, and wait till engine rpm reaches 3.00 rpm on all engines.

Carefully taxi to runway and then throttle up to takeoff thrust.

Pull up instantly because it would shoot down the runway like never seen before.

Never put more than 0.52 throttle or you set engines on fire!


Throttle Setup:

Taxi: 25 % Thrust

Takeoff: 50 % Thrust

Afterburner is automatic at 52 % Thrust

Landing: ~ 35 % Thrust

Afterburner is now automated at the last 5 % of throttle (above 48 %)


Landing that Shuttle can be a really hard challenge, and because it cant glide (Glides like a rock) in stormworks, you have to use throttle as mentioned above!


To do list:

+Maybe add simple crane in cargobay
+Add orange tank and boosters
+Edit ALT hold and/or level assist and also GPS Autopilot
+Remove Afterburner button because its allready automated
+Complete the cockpit and logic
+Maybe also add a launch table and launch tower
+Add launch vehicle

PS: The Shuttle is advanced, for that ones who asked.

Have fun, and thanks for subscribing!
