OK, first test report:


  • SLC-37B is not located at the coordinates of the real SLC-37B. In the scenario, the SLC-37B is located several km southeast of the real SLC-37B.
  • Performance figures is not right. Over 2 million N of thrust for a tiny RL-10? Don't think so. The real thrust of the RL-10 used on the Delta upper stages is 109890 N according to the Delta IV Payload Planner's Guide.
  • No auto-throttling of the RS-68's, especially of the center CBC during first stage ascent with the strap-ons. Also, no pre-MECO throttling on the strap-ons prior to sep. Same thing with the center CBC.
 
And SLC-37B is not a rectangle:

However, I think the performance figures were changed to carry the DeltaGlider. I'll say one thing, though. It looks good :thumbup:!
 
Thanks, I am making some adjustments and going to re upload
 
Another thing I noticed is that the swing arms doesn't retract at lift-off as they should.
