Orbit Hangar Mods had written:
Orbiter Version: 031217
Does that works with the most recent Orbiter version?


:(. Sadly, it is for orbiter 0301217. I will try to download it and try it on my 060929 orbiter version if :google: can connect well.

As for turbopacks, One thing I like to do with them to get some extra altitude for parachuting is to takeoff with a
spare turbopack grappled in the hands that I can switch to after I run out of fuel with the other one. Just jettison the
empty one and switch to the full one and then keep going. Of course that means one less $50000.00 turbopack for
you!

Ah the joys of turbochuting. When I created the turbochuting tutorial, I never thought about actually carrying the second one
with me. Of course, to overcome the parachute problem with the turbopack on your back, that is why I suggested grappling it
on your front for a more realistic :wonder: flare.

Somehow, I don't think Spacetech will care if you accidently drop one, but I agree it is in poor form.

And waste the money to recover it? You people never think about profit margins!

No, no, no- see. They land almost where you land with your parachute anyhow, and besides, they are made out of an super
modern, impact resistant, tri-poly-alloy. The only thing you need watch for is conking a fellow astronaut on the noggin'

We always watch the "profit margin", which is why we don't complain when Spacetech fuels earns a record profit in a quarter.
10% of a record is still 10% no matter how much we complain when we refill the fusion tank on the DGIV ;) . I also don't care
if Spacetech earns the record profit, because they are always looking for ways to make cleaner and better fuels too.

Cheers,
