    News Navy gets its new toy!

    I don't think that the US NAVY ever operated ski-deck "carriers" proper. I'm not sure about the smaller carrier-like ships, though.

    IMFD Ejection burn costs more delta-v than initally indicated

    Try to vary the eject time by hand in the Ejection Plan. Check the graphic to be sure that the burn is centered.

    IMFD Ejection burn costs more delta-v than initally indicated

    Try to exit the scenario with the Orbit-Eject loaded, then open the current scenario. Sometimes, reloading the scenario helps.

    The 500 Pa in my spreadsheet comes from Zepplin-NT (5 millibar overpressure). Airlander uses about twice as much overpressure. This is just from Wikipedia I'm sure "pumping out" is fast and easy because you are just releasing pressure through a valve. The old Goodyear blimp used its propwash...

    Or it could use it's propulsor, COM shift, and elevator to control altitude. That's why I had you make the propulsor swivel 180 degrees :). The primary job of the ballonet (as I understand it) is to maintain a constant gauge pressure in the envelope. I guess that you have the option of...

    General Question Mapping hover engine to joystick throttle

    Is there a way to map my joystick throttle to the hover engine, rather than the main engine? If not in Orbiter, then perhaps in Joy2Key. Any ideas? Thanks.
