About This File
X-Plane 10.30+ Suborbital Spaceflight Simulator. This is a simplified and home version of what the author was doing last year for Project Possum and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach. This is based on the previous Lynx MkII files but has a 3D cockpit and improved flight dynamics. The mission is simple. Takeoff from Eielson AFB runway 32, Fairbanks, AK, climb at 80 degress, turn north, make the parabola to 330,000 feet, then the re-entry (be aware of AOA during re-entry, use some -40 degree attitude), glide back to base to runway 14 (if you can). Change payload weight to get to a higher altitude. Documentation and links included. By Vasco Ribeiro.
