Thrust bucket - throttle down main engines to 65 percent to reduce dynamical pressure on the vehicle (the SRBs just burn once they're on, they can't be throttled):

Do I need to add the rockets? When I tried the Atlantis on launcher I didn't see them.
The Shuttle didn't have nav lights, did it?

Just to clarify again: Please note that I am not in any way affiliated with the 'Space Program' (my involvement in making FG spaceflight possible long predates it...) - the shuttle you see is my attempt to rig something that actually has halfway correct performance characteristics and flight dynamics. It doesn't come with any missions, transporters, badges or whatever. However, it launches
