General Question Moving launch-platform - how to move the attached rocket

[Arthur Dent]

Impressive! It never occurred to me before, to use the robot arm feature for anything else than a robot arm, until a few days ago.

Is the booster that you use on your Jason craft based on multistage.dll or SC3/velcro?

SC3/velcro, with the launch handled by UAP.

 

[Arthur Dent]

Although velcro has one major disadvantage: you cannot define custom exhaust particle streams other than SRB. This is almost a major show stopper for me. Multistage.dll might be the better option for multistage + booster rockets

 

[Donamy]

The big show stopper for me with multistage, is no VC during launch.

 

[Arthur Dent]

You are right. For manned launcher it is a big issue. For an unmanned launcher, I can live with that. But at the point where one want to put a capsule on that launcher, VCs are quite important.

Maybe we can kindly ask sputnik to put mor exhaust/particle flexibility in the velcro rockets.
