Notes:
•
Depending on the ship’s mass, exceeding the
max descent rate at touchdown
will collapse the landing gear and damage the hover engines, and may injure
or kill the crew; exceeding the limit by too much will destroy the ship.
•
Exceeding a surface’s dynamic pressure limits
will overload that surface's
hydraulics causing them to fail.

•
The high-strength SCRAM and Hover doors do not have a dynamic pressure
limit (except for the hull's absolute dynamic pressure limit, of course);
however, the hover doors must be CLOSED during reentry in order to prevent
the inner hull from overheating. Similarly, you must close the SCRAM doors
for high-Mach (> Mach 17-20) upper atmospheric flight.
•
If a hull surface overheats, typical failure occurs within eight seconds at
temperature limit; failure probability increases by overtempRatio
2
as hull
temperature increases.
•
WARNING: If a door is open on a surface, that surface's thermal limit
is much lower: 480 C
Custom Shortcut Keys
This section lists the custom shortcut keys defined by XR Vessels. Note that the
standard Orbiter shortcut keys are not listed here; please refer to the standard
documentation bundled with the Orbiter core distribution for details about standard
shortcut keys.
Note that not all keys are applicable to all ships; for example, the XR1 does not have
a payload bay, and so payload keys are not applicable to that vessel.
