Scenarios | 179 - Precious Cargo (Get tiny URL)

To run this scenario you need the DeltaGliderIV addon of course. You also need the X-plane skin and Experimental Antigravity Device cargo addons.
Your mission:
A DeltagliderIV containing an experimental antigravity device has been stranded in orbit after a dock failure with ISS. It is currently in safe mode. Your mission is to take off from the Cape, dock with the stranded glider, transfer your crew to it, restart it, and return it to Edwards Air Force Base. You must also destroy the glider that you brought to orbit. Good luck!

Scenarios | 177 - Double Pack (Get tiny URL)

DGIV Scenario Pack

This contains two scenarios for the wonderful Delta Glider IV (required for scenarios).

1. Re-entry trouble: You are in a DGIV. When the commander activated the Reentry autopilot, the wire short-circuited resulting in an explosion that tore off the nosecone, hover engines, and messed up the computer. Try to restable you're orbit before you burn up. Then, dock to the ISS. And Launch another DGIV for Rescue.

2. Mega Station: this scenario is just for fun. It has multiple ISS's docked together with a DGIV (required) to make a super station.

Skins \| 174 - DGIV REP SKIN (Get tiny URL)	Hits: 99
I found a skin for the DG3 on Orbiter Hangar that I thought was cool, so I configured it for the DG4. It's Jason Benson's REP skin. All I did was rename the files, and it turned out well. However, nose cone texture is inside-out, if you know how to fix, please do! Extract these files to a new folder under Textures2/DGIV/SKIN/whatever you want to call it, but I recommend REP, and it's ready!

A challenging ( I hope) DGIV rescue scenario where you must use the excellent TX Winged Space Launcher by Yuri Kulchitsky, http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=421, to recover a damaged DGIV from the ISS. It requires you to push the TX higher than it was originally designed, and dock it to the ISS. Attatch the crippled DGIV, and bring it home!

Payloads | 145 - DGIV inflatable rescue module (Get tiny URL)

Following my first addon, the DGIV Experimental Platform (No. 82), here is my second. It is an inflatable module which can be transported in the cargo bay of a DGIV and inflated after release. It is a rescue model with a lot of extras (e.g. UMmu compatibility). Have fun to find out what it can do....or read the doc file. It has a docking port and it is possible to EVA MMUs. Inside is room for six astronauts. On the first pic one inflated module is docked to the DGIV an one is still inside the cargo bay. The second pic shows the module docked to the ISS and on the third pic you have a look at four MMUs inside the module. You could also use the module on planets or moons as a rescue base. Hope you have a lot of fun with it. Space Snoopy

USCG's Quick Response Rescue Force (out of Brighton) specializes in recuse operations from all civillian and military calls for help. Secondary duties include inspections, interdiction and quarantine enforcemnt. No matter how many minutes away or years away the USCG will arrive as timely as possible.

"...we drifted out there for months and there was no way to know if anyone received our SOS. One day I looked out of the porthole and saw a red and white ship approaching. I dropped to my knees, wept and thanked God."

THIS ONE IS FOR YOU DAN!!!!!
I created a Swiss Space Office skin for Dan in celebration of the cool things about his homeland- Switzerland. Check out the "Matterhorn rudders". Who doesn't like Swiss Chocolate, Skiing, or Swiss Army Knives?

You too can enjoy this skin. It comes complete with a scenario called "Here for the Party" that will be installed in your DeltaGliderIV/Earth Scenary Folder.

I also recommend my Prelude II Superpack and Spirit of 1776 addons. They can also be found on Dan's website.
