Falcon Heavy Simulation | 13,500kg to LEO | All cores RTLS

This is a simulation of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy delivering a 13,500Kg payload to LEO and landing all three cores back at the launch site.

Crikey, I still get the goosebumps watching a simulation

[ChAnimations]

The applause is simulated very realistically.

[lvwpy]

Excellent simulation! Let´s hope it becomes reality soon!

[microproductions]

Great simulation! What program is this?

[brandonware]

Very cool. It will be nice to see that for real. GO SPACEX!!

Looks better than Kerbal space program.

Very nice sim, however when the boosters land they appear to hit the ground at 33m/s; I hope this is not the case!

I thought Falcon Heavy use asparagus staging, which fuel from booster is used by core stage until separation. So, doesn't the core stage will keep firing for at least another 2 minutes?

[dosmastrify]

hey Zach, go get yourself a copy of Kerbal Space Program and do it again, okay?

[victorgigante]

It was so nominal I could've mistaken it for an Orbital ATK launch.

The Falcon 9 launches 13, 500 kg to LEO, not the Falcon Heavy, which is capable of lifting 53, 000 kg to orbit.

Excellent simulation. but there are some inaccuracies. the outer FH cores will be feeding the center core, so the outer cores will run out quicker, and upon separation the inner core will have a full tank. The outer cores will then be able to boost back and rtls, especially as they are going at an even lower velocity than single booster launches. the center stage however, because it is boosting higher and to much higher velocities than previous launches, will not be able to preform a boost-back burn with adequate effectiveness, so it instead must land on a downrange landing site without a boost back. This also conserves fuel. Aside from these inaccuracies, it is clear you put a decent amount of effort into this, and I would be happy to see future simulations of launches from you.
also, what software did you use? is it something you developed yourself? looks like it might.

So in this simulation there is no crossfeed? It´s Delta Heavy style?

[Anothy]

Is there a way to download this program and simulation?

[SV_Try_Magic]

TWR 1.5 seems awfully low. Is there no way they can strap a couple solid rocket boosters to it to get it moving off the pad? I mean we are talking 10 or 15 seconds just to clear the tower. Thats a lot of wasted fuel that you could be taking to mars or wherever.

[ThatsEli]

What Programm is that? Or is it coded by your self?

[williegillie]

What no caboom? That can't be a space x video can it? lol even included the howling audience lmao
