Drag will take control of your craft orientation from between 23km and 21km on the way down. Get your trajectory adjusted before then to ease your entire landing operation slightly.

Empty Booster placed far right. Took a lot longer than I expected to drain the tank.

Honestly I am a little concerned by directional stability, because the booster has no RCS.

You can compensate by turning engines on and off.
Also, I would recommend you a big wheel for the forward landing gear. From my experience with shuttles, that small wheel can’t take too much damage.

Looks Beautiful just hovering above the Landing Pad, but I might be biased. I need to actually stick the landing next time. Still hitting the ground tail first, too busy taking happy snaps.

The good news is I finally landed it on the grass. The bad news is there isn't enough thrust to land until the fuel is below 9%. Also the front is lighter than the back, so the RCS struggles to keep it level. Thinking it needs a redesign.

Nice to see your first successful landing :)

That problem with the front being heavier than the rear can be fixed by moving the forward engines back, closer to the center of mass, or the rear engines... back as well, farther from the center of mass.

The design of my cargo bay is such, that there is no room for engines anywhere near the middle. I solved the problem by adding more engines. 3x Valient at the front, and 4x Valient at the rear.

Enjoy this game?

I have a love hate relationship with SFS. I love space, love the building aspects of this game. I hate how it reminds me of my failed career, the bugs, and actually having to pilot the rockets.

This challenge has been infuriating for me, because I crash the ground vehicles 90% of the time and keep having to go back to quicksaves.

I like the shuttle, but the wheel can only be used for laanding isn’t it?

I feel the same. The 1.5 bugs are the only reason why I decided to go back to 1.35, who has a couple of bugs yes, but you do not feel them. They don’t ruin your game at all, unlike the 1.5 bugs...

Love to make hidden engines on fairings? :p

Idk why we can't press anythin now on fairings...

Nah, that’s not the reason...

The time warp bug...
The constant crashings...
The broken layering system...
The fuel disappearing for no reason...

1.5 BLYAT!
