Skins | 202 - SK-017 (Get tiny URL)

The goal of this skin was to make the DGIV look a little more serious and believable. I wanted to make it look like a sturdy space craft that endures extreme conditions and perhaps has weathered a few reentries of various planets without needing to be scrubbed clean every time. That being said I think the heat marks and residues really do make it look more durable and that perhaps it really has just landed on mars and weathered a dust storm. Other details are inspired by decals and warning labels I have seen on real aircraft to show that it is also in some ways a fragile and dangerous piece of equipment.

Payloads | 185 - Values Convey Payload (Get tiny URL)

Need to transport some big stuff and you don’t know how to hide it? Are that pesky space treasure hunters trying to steal something rare from you? Maybe you are a bank owner and need to carry a large quantity of gold and money without losing the precious cargo being assaulted. Or simply you don’t want to end like Kennedy. Then this is perfect for you.
We, the DigTech Company, ensure that our new DGIV’s Container is 98, 99999% Imperishable, Indestructible, Unbreakable, Un... we simply call it UNDESTROYABLE, but make no mistake! Our secret formula is so resistant that every bullet or even a simple piece of rubber might ricochet and injury someone outside the container! Unlockable using the fingerprint only.
As you can see, if somebody try to break into the container will be in great trouble, not only because of the resistance, but to the Hacker-proof code used to programme the fingerprint scanner.
Thanks for using the DigTech's well-test containers!

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: 462
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!
