Real Rockets for Real Scaled System
The Mobile Launcher and Platform is practically detailed. If you have a sharp eye, you would find out something's different from the real ones; but they're necessary modifications to make it work with my Eridanus MPCV.
It has Eridanus MPCV and ATV as a secondary payload.
Cautions!
I tried some tricks but this craft is prone to explode on loading: It's so heavy that initial 0.5m of falling gives it too much energy. To avoid this, load on pause and give it 1/4 time warp until your speed indicator says 0m/s.
How to Crawl
Press [ or ] until you find the MLP Control and give it a full throttle to fold your legs. Press [ or ] to find Crawler Transporter Control. Use Slider 2 to crawl, Slider 1 to turn.
How to Luanch
Stage 1 to clear Crew Access Arm, press 3 two times to close Crew hatch. Stage 2 to ignite RS-25D/Es. Stage 3 to ignite Pyrios Boosters and clear all the umbilicals.
