If you want. Sure. I have a night class so I'm probably not doing any work. My next step would be... I don't know. I can either try and finish the tanks (they need textures, which will go far quicker than the engines) or try and get the Castors done. EDIT: Oh, also, @Jso do you have any more info on your Agena sizing experiments? I've been thinking that I'd like to switch it over to 0.9375m since we have new 1.25m upper stage parts. I think I'd have to re-export them through Maya etc but that wouldn't be too much work. Edited February 16, 2016 by CobaltWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxonius Augustus Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 @CobaltWolf If you're revisiting Agena can you make sure the engines fit correctly. Right now the tops of the Agena engines are very slightly smaller than 1.25... it's driving me nuts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so it all fits in the interstage, plus isn't it like that in real life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the top (black band) is made the same diameter as the tank then the fairing would just come up to the bottom of the black band. The way it is makes this look like a bug.

A rim is present but, uhh... It is a lot smaller than in BDB (note the shadow towards the bottom). I also looks very different. I get that it's "supposed to be there" but then why not make it a part of the engine model? The way it is the engine sticks out like a sore thumb. As much as I know how deliberate you are in modeling, to the casual observer it might look like you forgot what size you were working on...

Eh, fair enough. Like you said, since I'm going to have to take another look at Agena, I might as well try and change it. Eventually.

EDIT: To expand a bit more, I've been feeling *really* burnt out. Not really specifically on KSP stuff, though that's definitely the hardest hit part of my life. I've been having an incredibly stressful quarter at school, some minor medical issues, trying to get a job to support myself for the next six months... my schoolwork has been primarily Maya this quarter. So I work in Maya all day, then get done and... have to work in Maya for KSP stuff. Especially when it comes to UV mapping. So development is proceeding one day at a time, like it has for the last couple weeks. I'm probably not going to stream anymore, except on occasions. It was fun guys but there's no point if I'm only able to find motivation to work for an hour at a time. I'm still following the roadmap. It'll just continue to be slow here for a while, and honestly it might stop altogether for a bit before it picks back up again.

Don't force yourself to work on KSP modding if you don't have any energy for it, that's a good way to get yourself to hate doing it and completely burn out on the whole thing. Better to take a little break, distance yourself from KSP modding until you can work your real life stuff out and come back when you feel the passion return. Speaking from experience!

TimothyC Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) 4 hours ago, CobaltWolf said: Will he do the unflown variants like the Atlas cards? That'd be exciting. I don't know. One issue I come across with Titan stems from the fact that there were single chamber and double chamber LR-87s that were tested, so you'll sometimes see people reporting "Four LR-87s" as a LDC Titan first stage when they mean four combustion chambers in either two pairs or four singles. It can be hard to determine which is which. The LR-87 and Titan II first stage really formed a very awesome rocket. Together they had a propellant mass fraction of 0.96. The only thing keeping it from being a (very) low payload SSTO was the fact that there was no throttleability to the engine.

CobaltWolf Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Haha thanks everyone for the kind words. @TimothyC Now I want to try and cobble together a single chamber LR87 for 1.25m... @fs10inator Looking good as always.

Spent ten minute rearranging the parts from the LR-87-2... EDIT: I have to go to class now but I'll leave the Titan file open so I can put in the fairings on the first stage engines. Though, I want to point out @Foxxonius Augustus that there's only a fairing needed for the Titan 2 variant, seeing as the Super Juno's Titan 1 stage certainly would have deleted that weird fairing on the engine. EDIT2: But it's different than the Titan 1 engine... Solution: I'll make the engine fairing a toggleable shroud that is controlled by the top node.
