Editing DeltaGliderIV

The '''DeltaGliderIV''' (also known as '''DGIV''') is the successor of the [[DeltaGliderIII]], improving many details of it and adds a more complex damage model and cargo handling to it. It is currently undergoing public beta testing and already one of the most popular add-ons for orbiter, profiting from the fame of its predecessor.

==Features==

It inherits many features from its predecessor ''DeltaGliderIII'', being still similar in handling and use as the '''DeltaGliderIII'''. Other than the [[Delta-glider|Delta-glider Mk.4]], it does not have a [[Virtual cockpit|virtual cockpit]], but this missing feature is more than offset by the detailled and complex 2D panel.

* realistic [[crew support]]:
** a living crew that realistically reacts to the flight conditions; [[Acceleration|G]], temperature, cabin O2 level etc.
** you can actually kill the crew if you vent-off the [[atmosphere]] of the craft
** life support and alerts
** you can actually hear your astronauts breathe as you travel between spaceships.
* improved cockpit:
** realistic [[Panel|panels]] with many user-friendly and rather intuitive features
** [[OrbiterSound|OrbiterSound 3.5]] support, offering over 40 integrated sounds.
** on-board flight computer with many displays and [[autopilot|autopilots]] and ability to load user-defined ascent programs
** a complete 2D panel in three parts with many systems; life support, APU, engine etc.
** an autopilot that will help you during [[ascent]], [[re-entry]], [[landing]] etc.
** a Check-list [[MFD]], extended since the ''DeltaGliderIII''
** realistic refueling that requires pilot's attention
* improved physics:
** crew can [[EVA]] and re-enter the ship
** crew can be exchanged between DeltaGliderIV and other spacecraft based on the [[Universal MMU]] SDK.
** a ship reacts to flight conditions (no more unrealistic re-entry or landing)
** the ship can become damaged by bad handling and crashes. 
** the flight characteristics can be configured in a configuration program, including engine type and life support system endurance.
* improved visuals:
** The '''DeltaGliderIV''' can get damaged and turned into a wreckage.
** New glowing heatshield during reentry
** reworked Delta-glider mesh that reflects the correct number of crew inside
** new hi-res 1024x1024 [[Texture|textures]] with many exchangeable textures([[Skinning support|''Skins'']]) available
** can have many ships with different ''Skins'' in one [[Scenario|scenario]]
** 3 hi-res skins included with the base package
** many external lights 
* Cargo management
** The '''DeltagliderIV''' is equipped with a small cargo bay, allowing it to carry various payloads, which can handled by the ''Universal  MMU'' astronauts.
* improved configuration support:
** Full scenario editor support
** a config program that will help you set the skin, crew, payload, power, fuel, life reserve, etc.
** custom installer, no known install problems
