Vid of translation in use:

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.
Light version VTOL-SSTO shuttle with powerful plasma drive. Ship is career mode friendly. Crew of 2 with 2 passengers. Ship capable of landing and getting to orbit from sergeaa. 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 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 - exterior lights
AG5 - cabin lights
AG6 - VTOL (vertical trusters) on/off
AG7 - hover assist (hold altitude) on/off
AG8 - landing gear extend/retract
AG9 - planet scanner on/off (gives info on targeted body)
Pitch/roll/yaw - as default
Pitch/roll translation turned on - move ship 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).
