[WIP][0.90] MK2 Cockpit and Drone [Pre_Alpha download]

[martinezfg11]

I noticed that while the MK2 platform was pretty nice, there was a distinct lack of cockpits that could be used with the system.

I introduce to you the MK2 "Cobra" cockpit. It's largely done, I just have some config stuff to finish and I'll be able to upload a pre-release.

Pre-Alpha Download available

Included is the MK2 Cobra cockpit and the Drone Core "Falken". There is still lots of work to be done on my end so there may be bugs.

I love it! It needs a FAR config too.

[dryer_lint]

Nice!

[Gaalidas]

Once you do an IVA, that large view area just begs for an RPM transparent pod setup.

[martinezfg11]

Yep, I'm having some issues with the IVA stuff right now.. I'm getting an error once the Kerbal re-enters the vehicle from IVA.

 

Internal Model error: Crewmember Bill Kerman couldn't be seated because the internal model doesn't have any more seats defined. 

and

InternalModel error: Part Crew capacity is 1, but 0 seats are defined in internal model

As for a FAR config, that's planned I just need to look at other cockpit examples. I'd prefer to have the Cockpit EVA and IVA complete before taking a chunk out of that sandwich...

Looks cool! I agree there are not enough Mk2 cockpits, I've been working on one of my own too but it's still in the texturing stage

Thanks! I'm still a super noob at texturing so I've been shamelessly using Squad's assets.

By the way here is a look at the IVA:

and in KSP:

I found out that capitalization is uber important in cfg's. which is why i was getting the errors mentioned before.

Imgur again...

[Quiznos323]

Haha well I use them too for stuff that is stock-a-like I'm getting better at texturing, but I have to learn how to do IVA's still

[dryer_lint]

One seat? Interesting, the current Mk2 cockpit has three...

Three?

Aren't you refering to the Mk1-2?

I like this! You should make a second version which has no canopy for the cockpit, and is completely smooth with the rest of the shape. Perfect UAV front!

[martinezfg11]

Fleshed out the IVA. I had an explosive cord above the canopy, but it wasn't coming out how I wanted so I think I'll leave that out until I can figure a better way of implementing it.

I'm hoping to upload something soon maybe this week. (Don't hold your breath)

I like that idea. Here's a concept.

If it makes it into the modpack I'll call it the Falken.

[akron]

Very cool part. I love the drone core idea

[Ramon91]

This looks NOICE. I've been waiting for a fighter cockpit for ages (I got the F-35 by Bahamuto but i need something without intakes)

PD: I'd reccomend you to make the canopy a little taller, putting seats a bit higher for the sake of vision from IVA

How many kerbs can it hold?

[martinezfg11]

Pre-Alpha download available! I was sick over the weekend and didn't get any work done. The "falken" drone has some nasty textures but it will have to do for now.

Here's a pic of the cockpit using the awesome engine pack from Quiznos323.

[martinezfg11]

More WIP stuff, this is a prototype 2 seat cockpit for the MK2 system. Model is complete, Texture is still WIP.

[trekfan42]

omg im so hot for this

[eddiew]

Thought you might like this little doohicky... First SSTO of my latest career; no rapiers, no nukes, no shocks, and no fancy elevons. Barely squeaks to orbit but it does get there. Probably wouldn't make it with a heavier 2-man cockpit.

[martinezfg11]

That looks awesome. I'm happy to see crafts using the cockpits I made. Thanks for sharing!

[martinezfg11]

Reworked the Cobra model. I'm still tweaking the textures.
