Looking around for cool add-ons and asking for suggestions.

[VincentMcConnell]

So basically I'd like to get a few add-ons that are Earth Orbit based rockets where the capsule splashes back down into the ocean like Apollo. Preferably with auto pilot so I can browse the internet while the launch takes its sweet time.

Anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions of add-ons of this style that they like?

Antares and the Jarvis. There's also the Pegase CTV and Ariane V.

Those look cool, but they require me to download several other add-ons. Are there any stand alone ones?

What is the issue with downloading other required addons?

Jarvis has a few scenarios that require other bases but I believe it also comes with scenarios using the default bases.

yeah, I dont get the point of not trying something because it requires extra add-ons.

CTV requires Ariane, and Antares requires Jarvis. Pretty simple really.

I know. Sometimes it's just a little confusing. I'm going to give it a try, guys.
I am currently downloading the highest res moon texture anyone has made. It's like 300mb. And my download speed is like 72kb/s.... This takes a LONG TIME.

With these, you can do almost anything in Orbiter.

The CTV requires the Ariane V and Kourou Space Center. The Antares requires the Jarvis and UMMU. Spacecraft 3 and Multistage 2 are needed for both I believe. I'd also recommend Capo Passero for the Antares and Jarvis as a base.
