You can still kinda guide the shuttle after booster sep by using the left and right arrows. Seems to tend to drift to the right for me, so i give it plenty of left arrow to keep it straight up. As for the temp... thats all just part of what makes it fun... figuring out when to drop the tank! But no, there doesnt seem to be a way to control the temp.

I've been able to break 4000 consistently, but can't quite get to the record. I either overtemp or run out of thrust.

Ok, after hours of playing, I want to know how those records were set. I still haven't been able to break 4600, no matter how perfect I had everything.

4576 so far, I just can't break 4600. I want to know how the record holder got to 4900, because I have had several that just seemed perfect, yet came up short.

I got into the 4 thousands one or 2 times... but I can't pinpoint what is it that makes some flights go higher than others... most of mine were around the 3500 mark

I did figure out a way to land every time without crashing the craft... it seems it's forward flight that induces damage on landing, so if you reverse the glider after booster separation, it will want to fly in the opposite direction, and will slow down considerably... your vertical speed doesn't matter, just try to hit the ground with as low horizontal speed as possible Wink

Awesome game!!! It got me wanting to finish my Kerbal Space Project idea... Roll Eyes

(as if I didn't already have enough work in college)
