Re-entry with full tanks: How I´m doing it...

[Matt50]

Docked ISS with tanks FULL

Select your landing area/target (use map mode and track)
Undock
Turn retrograde
Close nosecone
Switch HUD to surface mode
Fire mainthruster until speed reaches 7.300
(look at the moving red point in map mode and learn when and where  u have to start the burning to reach your
desired target)
Turn prograde
Sit and watch...
At Alt 150.00 engage AP (PRO104SPEC40)
Sit and watch...
Around Alt 44.00 you´ll get  a "Hull temp" warning (temp is around 2.00° - 10 to 15 sec.) should be no factor
Engage gear power
Gear down
Don´t forget to flare in time
Touch down after 39 min!
Any questions?

Yes, KSC in that case. But u can land at any base u want (see line 2 in the mini tutorial).

And no I´m not a space cadet. Ofcourse my label says Young recruit but I´m  an "old orbiter" (since 2000) holding a
private pilot licence in true life 8) an I´m as old as my name says + 1
and I really like Dan´s and Martins´s work
If u like sims truly here u get the best space SIM ever!
