Jall Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Make the first screenshot look "vintage" and I'd be convinced it was an actual photo. Amazing work! Edited March 22, 2019 by Jall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it by searching. Is there any way to have what's inside of the Sarnus-SIVB-BLAM / SLAM occluded from drag like it is inside of the Sarnus-SIVB-LAM(F)?

MaverickSawyer Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Those little ion RCS thrusters make darn fine OMS engines for lightweight orbital probes when you need precision. Like, ~2.5ms orbital period correction level precision. Unfortunately, my current MechJeb software package doesn't like to give me dV readouts for bipropellant RCS, which this technically qualifies as. So... No clue just how good of an engine this actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can test by trying to extend solar panels placed inside with an action group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can test by trying to extend solar panels placed inside with an action group. Ok. I also launched two rockets. They were identical except one used the BLAM/SLAM setup, and one used the LAMF. I used an MP tank inside the fairing as ballast because the LAM(F) weighs 0.2T more than the BLAM with 4 SLAMs on it. The rockets are 121.034t for the BLAM, and 121.042t for the LAMF. BLAM/SLAM: The Mk1-3 capsule inside the fairing has a drag number, and the highest altitude is ~506km. LAMF: The Mk1-3 capsule inside the fairing doesn't have a drag number, and the highest altitude is ~604km. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jso Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 @Geonovast you're using an older version of BDB. It works correctly in the current version. If you can't update because you're in the middle of a career game you'll have to put up with it. There's no simple config fix I can give you, since it required some custom code to get those working.

Well, it seems I am. I apparently downloaded the newer version, but never got around to actually upgrading it. Sorry about that. All is well now, thank you!

hieywiey Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Is the IUS planned? Because I know it flew on top of the Titan 34D and Titan IV a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually started working on it for the last update but wound up setting it on the backburner to push up the release date. It's fully modeled and ready to be unwrapped. Im also interested in it as an upgrade for Titan 23GS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilflo Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hey This is really a great job. I love the Shina Cockpit and LEM looking like Apollo LEM and Capsule, but is it really design to work on RSS ? I tried many Moon landings on RSS and I am missing 270 DV each time landing at an altitude of 7000m. And I am also missing DV for Ascent.....

Realism Overhaul has patches but only for a handful of the parts, I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that by the Time I have unlocked these I no longer have a need for them in Career play. Every one of my last three Careers I have said "I am going to use those Ion parts this time." Every time I fail to.... Glad to see your Titan work is making it into the game! 4 minutes ago, Barzon Kerman said: I thought they were balanced for 2.5x? Yup. So are most of the stock parts....

Barzon Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Maybe they should be moved in the tech tree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friznit Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Speaking of the tech tree, the MSC Dome Antenna for the MOS orbital is under UnmannedTech, presumably for balance as it's a reasonably powerful direct antenna. However, it's quite late in the tree compared to the rest of the MOS parts. By the time you get there I find the MOS is pretty much redundant and replaced by Skylab.

Fairly sure that's for Skylab though I don't have the game in front of me. Edited March 23, 2019 by CobaltWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
