Shuttle Abort Sites Vol. II

From 1981-2011, in the event that a space shuttle had a failure going uphill during ascent, NASA selected several sites to be used as abort landing sites in such events. Fortunantly a space shuttle never had to be forced down in the event of a engine failure uphill. Now, you can recreate a fictonal abort with your own missions.

Includes Naval Station Rota, Naval Air Station Bermuda, Dyess Air Force Base, Cherry Point, and Ben Guerir Air Base.

No other addons are necessary though I highly recommend having Volume I and Shuttle Fleet v.4.8. for the scenarios.

Had trouble with the textures for Naval Station Rota, but other than that everything should look fine.

Rota, Bermuda and Ben Guerir are all TAL abort sites, though Bermuda was only a backup. The other two where deactivated from being used as TAL sites by the end of the STS program.
Dyess Air Force Base is for AOA aborts in the event a landing goes long from White Sands, or during Re-entry if energy is short for a KSC landing.
And Cherry Point is an East Coast abort site.

Enjoy!
 
If I get suggestions for bases that people are really interested in, then yes I certainly will.

I've dont saw this add-on, so I have made my own TAL abort sites (Istres, Zaragoza, Moron and Lajes Field). So please don't make Lajes Field if asked since I will release it quickly.
Thanks ! :hello:
 
Here's an idea: do some of the Canadian abort sites such as Goose Bay, Stephensville, Gander, St. Johns, or Halifax. :)

A good piece of work here. Just a question though. SolarLiner' Lajes Field add-on includes instructions how to make his field compatible with AutoFCS. Will we have to perform the same process with all the fields in Vol I and II?
