[1.7.1] Cormorant Aeronology - Mk3 Space Shuttle
FlyMeToTheMinmus replied to Pak's topic in Add-on Releases
Based on my experience with shuttles in KSP: 1: Your ascent profile may have been better in the first mission, if you spent too long in the atmosphere (pitching too early for example) then you waste a lot of delta v overcoming drag. 2: The Trajectories mod is veeeery helpful for landing a shuttle at this accuracy, it's hard to judge without it. 3: The shuttle in-game seems to have better aerodynamics than the real thing, but it nonetheless is more like a flying brick than anything else. As was done IRL, you need to maintain a higher vertical speed than usual for aircraft until y- 2,248 replies

The folders you showed in your download folder (Airplane Plus, Firespitter, Module Manager) need to be in the same folder as your Squad folder for KSP, which should be found in the Gamedata folder.

I recently had the same issue; if you own a copy of KSP through steam, make sure that you have the right version. You may have to opt in or out of beta updates for KSP, I can't remember which it was. Long story short, it's not so much that all mods must be up to date (although that helps greatly), just make sure that your game is definitely 1.3 if you are using any 1.3 mods at all - this can be checked in the readme amongst the game files.

Perhaps you could look into parts for some larger satellite busses and structures, like Hubble, JWST or KH11 Hexagon parts? I've been trying to figure out payloads for my shuttle flights that aren't space station parts for a while.

[1.2] Shuttle Payload Technologies v0.2 - Spacelab Released!
FlyMeToTheMinmus replied to MrMeeb's topic in Add-on Development
Space Shuttle Systems provides a photo-realistic recreation of STS, whereas this mod provides stock-a-like parts modeled off of Space Shuttle payloads like spacelab and experiment pallets to both work with the stock Mk3 parts, and also to possibly used with other non-shuttle crafts.- 279 replies

[1.11.X] Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR [24.0][21.2.2021]
FlyMeToTheMinmus replied to Beale's topic in Add-on Releases
It is in fact a soyuz spacecraft equipped with an APAS docking port instead of the normal probe port; it was launched to test the APAS port on Kristall in anticipation of future Buran flights.- 20,149 replies

http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=22235 A poster in this topic states that the APAS 95 used on the ISS is non-androgynous, and you can see this as well in photos of the ports from approachint shuttles; the passive port is visibly missing the spring assemblies under each petal that on an active port would extend the docking ring. As a result, the station-side port is physically unable to perform the active role. It does appear that the APAS 89 port used on Mir, which was very similae to 95, was fully androgynous however, if that's any help.

[1.2] Shuttle Payload Technologies v0.2 - Spacelab Released!
FlyMeToTheMinmus replied to MrMeeb's topic in Add-on Development
The only way I've managed to maintain stability from re-entry to landing (altho this is in a 4x scale kerbol system) is by using an angled probe core in the back at about 20-30 degrees locked to prograde, making sure plenty of RCS is left and not touching the controls except to help nudge back towards prograde if needed until velocity is down to about 500 m/s, then switch control to cockpit and pitch down sharply, then carefully, using prograde snap to stay close to prograde, as if I don't I will enter a flat spin, and slowly bring the shuttle to horizontal for landing. This doesn't even reall- 279 replies
