@kittman that is weird. I did not expect that either. I am also surprised you got a flight to land on the runway. Normally it did not get that close for me, since my program just has it do a boost back until it is moving a certain speed in one direction. It is not designed to do an accurate landing.

@JSO18 I just ran three flights: realtime including countdown, fast forward for most of the flight (including boost back), and fast forward ascent only. The third flight landed the closest of the three (on the runway) and with the most remaining fuel (8%). The realtime flight had 5% left and the fast forward flight had 7%. Interesting stats, huh? Kinda opposite of what I was expecting.

@kittman I run it in fast forward sometimes too, but as long as I stop it before the boost back burn starts and leave it in regular time until the entry burn is done, it should work.

@JSO18 Yup, most definitely used fast forward. I think just during ascent but I'm not sure. I'll run it realtime and see what the fuel consumption is. 😁

@kittman thanks for the upvote! I will look into that problem. I ran the final version around 5 times, and it always worked. Did you ever use time warp or fast forward? I discovered doing that can cause problems with running out of fuel.

I like!
I ran out of fuel a couple times before the landing was perfect.
Very cool craft

@Tweedle_Aerospace this was inspired by New Shepard :)

@JSO18 the Jeff bezos of simple rockets!

@MSCSpaceworks thanks!

Looks nice
