Falcon 9 remake.

[Aiden]

Ive been trying this for a while. Make a falcon 9 but have the first stage reach orbit. Then proceed to airbrake and try to land back on the launchpad. You can use cheats if you need too. Ill be trying too. Good luck

** you can use a falcon heavy if neccecery but you only need to land the center booster

This was my first attempt. The one on the left is the launchpad and the right is me

Nice work!
I also have a similar version that I've been working on since the 1.3 release it only had one failure (unexpected payload separation before reaching LEO) it lands back on the pad but the first stage doesn't reach orbit
NB:you may have two "beacons" on each side of the pad to make boost back burn possible and easy
Liftoff

MECO and stage separation

Second stage burn

Reentry burn

Landing burn

That launchpad is coool! Im guessing you launched strait up for this? O and i use to have two beacons.. until this happend

Not strictly straight up I make a slight rotation that's why I need to perform a boost back burn

That thing happened to me as well since then I use way smaller beacons. The only down side of them is the visibility so I use the map to aim until the landing burn at around 1000m when I switch to normal view.

Here a size comparison with the first stage

I just think this is the perfect place to share my falcon heavy and by posting this I've become the wierdo on the thread who doesn't know what the hell is going on

Anyway here it is
