Version 2 improvements:
Added translation control to the ship. Turn on translation controls (same as RCS translation) and while hovering; joystick pitch will move the ship forward/reverse. Joystick roll will move ship left/right. To turn; turn off translation and use joystick yaw to rotate the ships direction. Gives super tight control over the ship while in hover.

Heavy VTOL-SSTO shuttle with powerful plasma drive. Ship is career mode friendly. Crew of 4 with 10 passengers. Full interior. Forward air lock. Midship extendable airlock and docking collar. Large cargo bay can deliver 3 GNSS sats in one go. Ship capable of landing and getting to orbit from sergeaa (resupply those hard to get to outposts). Planet scanner gives info on targeted astral bodies. Shuttle will do Mach 3 on jets alone and at high altitudes with plasma drive active the ship is hyper-sonic (be careful cuz it will rip apart over Mach 4).

VTOL capable - its a rocket/jet/helicopter all in one ship.

Vizzy program has pitch/roll auto level assist while vertical thrusters are active. Hover assist will hold the ship at its current altitude (can still use slider 1 to assend/descend while hover is active). Vizzy program will automaticaly adjust vertical thrusters to be in line with ships center of mass on the fly. This includes changes in Com due to fuel burn or cargo changes. On ship start it will take a second for the program to adjust the vertical thrusters (it moves slowely due to high accuracy). If unsure open slider 4 to see if its moving. If slider 4 is not moving the vertical thrusters are alligned.

Controls:

AG1 - jet engines on/off
AG2 - main plasma drive on/off
AG3 - RCS on/off
AG4 - cargo bay door open/close
AG5 - internal doors open/close
AG6 - exterior lights
AG7 - cabin/interior/cargo bay lights
AG8 - landing gear extend/retract
AG9 - midship airlock and docking collar extend/retract
AG10 - planet scanner on/off (gives info on targeted body)
AG11 - VTOL (vertical trusters) on/off
AG12 - hover assist (hold altitude) on/off

Pitch/roll/yaw - as default
Pitch/roll translation turned on - forward/reverse/left/right while hovering
Throttle - jet engine/main plasma drive
Slider 1 - vertical thrust plasma drive throttle
Slider 3 - camera zoom
Slider 4 - used by vizzy to control center of mass adjustment (no need for player to use)
Break - breaks/thrust reversers

Note: for atmospheric re-entries come in under 1400 m/s to avoid heat damage. If you do come in hot be sure to be under 2000 m/s and have the ship at 90 degrees to the entry (perpendicular) with the bottom of the ship on the business side of the re-entry (it has the most heat shielding).

    @jason202321439 tap on the chair or crew member tap on transfer. Transfer him to the forward outer airlock. And they can Eva to space from those.

    Because the mid ship airlock extends (it’s not connected to all the chairs) you can’t transfer from chair to that one. You would have to Eva down the inside of the ship and get close enough to it to enter it. Then Eva to space.
