So, graphics aside, have you worked out the mission profile for a direct trajectory? If you can post a video of the mission that would be spectacular.

As of this point, It's a Ranger mission style hard impact trajectory. It will take some tweaking to simulate a soft landing. I could do it with the present set up by adjusting the fuel levels, but it wouldn't be realistic, as it would be using the same engine for trajectory boost as landing, and typically you would use separate engines for these tasks and discard the booster.

There is a flight recorder for the sim, that I should be able to use to create a video file.
