Title: SPACE SHUTTLE CRAWLER WITH SHUTTLE THAT CAN LAUNCH JUST CAME OUT!!!!!!!!!
Post by: bmgarcangel on 19 Mar 2003, 17:59:50

My friend just finish making probably the best addon ever created.  He's been building a space shuttle with the boosters and exteranl tank and A CRAWLER TO TOP IT OFF!!!!!

He has not posted it on any site yet but he has given it to me and IT ROCKS!!  The crawler you can driver and it is huge and very detailed. The space shuttle sits on top of the crawler with external tank and boosters.  Now here comes the best thing about this.  You can get in the Space shuttle and fly it.  Now 5 other people can get in as cargo too.  But when you fly it you get in and you activate the engine that activates the booster rocket and the shuttle main engines and you're off.  You have to be very careful to keep it point straight up in the air or it will tumble and after about a minute or two of non stop flying up and up and up and up and up and up and incredible speeds reaching a punding 500 hundred miles per hour going vertical always the boosters detach and one minute later the external tanks detach and they parachute to the ground and float in the water if they're over water.  Then the shuttle.  Its engines stop and you glide it back to earth and land safely after a long  but since he made it so that the shuttle will fall fast it takes about 4 and a half minutes to get to a low enough altitude to land.  
He's made a demo mission for it showing also a script that can help you locate the external tanks and drive out to them with a boat.  Now, i'm not aloud to say anything else till he releases it next week on this site maybe he said but he said he was going to put it on atwar no matter what.  

So, would anyone like the shuttle earlier. I can talk to my friend bout it.

Its made for operation Flashpoint: Resistance.  I crawled the crawler to the airport and launched and landed it.  Very fun with lots of adrenaline.  It goes to the extreme limits of the OFP Engine so ya

well right now he's fixing three things.

One thing is that one of the boosters stayed attached sometimes to the External tank and you then had to disconect from it and watch the external take and booster go ut of control.

Second is the sometimes the external tank would stay attached to the shuttle and you couldn't land becuase it wouldn't disconnect.

Third thing is that sometimes the crawler would go up with the shuttle, external tank, and boosters.  It looked really weird when it did that.  

He said it'll be ready within this upcoming week and i'll keep you guys informed ;D
