I did an X native version of the X-24, the plain Piglet with a dragchute added. There are additional variants for orbital and sub orbital flight with Rob's space gauge. Those are based on the proposed 'C' model, lofted on a Titan III - TIII core, heavyweight TIIIC, and sub-orbital TIIISI with Centaur second stage, and a orbital with just the Centaur OMS. There is also a USAF 'NERVA' type mothership and an 'instant launch complex' run on AICarriersII. Never did get it U/L'd here, my bandwidth was derpy then, I kept timing out on big DL's. One of these days, I need to go back at that, do another material update and do the SRB animation sequence over; FSDS reverses coordinates. But, not too bad for an early attempt.
The X-15 is in the pipe, somewhere. It keeps stalling as I get distracted with other things (like insurgencies &C.), and I've been doodling with the KBT B-52's, one of which will be the Balls Eight model with the ability to drop flyback X-15's and X-24's. (Forum search 'Edwards' for a thread on 50's/60's Edwards in progress, there is a drive link to the B-52D.) A variant of the dropped object missile solution permitting (I hope!) the dropped X-plane to 'soft land' on the lake bed, depending on your aim. The SkyStreak(Craigs) and X-1 are also in the pipe, somewhere.
Also: Robs SkyLancer, probed prototype, NASA paint...
