ExPlane Shuttle by SkaterFromHell

[Vlad. Just Vlad.]

Hello all.

It is my second mod for KSP. It is ExPlane shuttle. It have beautiful geometric forms and efficient engine.

Features:

Gimbaling engines

RCS system

Deployable gear

WARNING! Only for 0.14!

?haracteristics:

Vacuum dV: 771.6 m/s

Total mass: 1.99

Dry mass: 1.07

Glide speed (AOA -5-10 degrees): 65-70 m/s

Video (please, view):

Screenshots:

Problems:

1. It\'s hard to control it on speeds more than 200 m/s.

2. Bad maneuverability (but not when you dump all RCS fuel)

Now, I\'m making external tank and decoupler.

What is gimballing?

[Gojira]

Engines that rotate to provide thrust in the current vector

would be nifty if it had some texture to the hull and such.

But otherwise nifty start you\'ve got going there, I would like to see this grow.

[Vlad. Just Vlad.]

It has textures. But they are not too beautiful.

You can install all parts but gears. Maybe it will work. But in 0.14 better physics, and in 0.13 it can be controled hard.

Really, animation is something that they could be add to demo one day. Perhaps not right away, but after some time.

That, and proper decoupler physics. Not having these things will break a lot of mods in the future, making them unusable with the demo (which I\'m stuck with due to living in Poland, where sending 15$ to the Squad would cost about 30$).
