kcs123 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Siemens page is a good start to get more info about modern electric engines. I know that I readed somewhere on theirs page a more detailed datasheet about engine in the past, but they rearanged web page and I can't find it right now. I will try to search for some info, but provided link should get you a good estimated guess about size and performance. (it is written somewhere in wall of text). EDIT: Found some better info: https://www.siemens.com/press/pool/de/events/2016/corporate/2016-12-innovation/inno2016-aerobatic-airplane-e.pdf It is electric motor SP260D. I'm pretty sure that they have more than one model. It can probably be used with different propeler sizes and number of blades.

commanderbunbun Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I love this mod very much. I have been working on a thermonuclear reaction turbine engine version from the cheetah turbofan but having problems with the config file. I can't get the sound of the engine on startup and the auto switching doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackheart612 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 @kcs123 I have tried searching for blueprints for the engine and the aircraft that could have it but I couldn't find one. I base my models on blueprints to get precise measures and make it exactly like the thing. @commanderbunbun That suggests you probably have messed with the dry and wet mode of the ModuleEnginesFX as well as the EFFECTS part of the config or the .wav it is referring to in my own folder. The two modes have different curves and EFFECTS have a specific line for the sound and where it is located. Either you misspelled anything on the line, the sound isn't where it is supposed to be, or you use a custom sound file not supported by ksp.

memeconnoiseur Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I don't like putting parts from different mods on one craft unless their design style is similar enough, and blackheart's design style is very nice compared to the mk2 expansion, which I don't think has this engine anyway, so that's why I'm asking for it.

Other mods more often than not look out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackheart612 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 @memeconnoiseur Looks interesting, I'll look into it. If I make that engine, might be (for now) the last engine as well as probably going to slow down making parts. I really, really want to further optimize the engines (further cut-offs than right now, just better performance curves over all) But that's a LOT of engines to tweak but probably going to end up in just one small looking update. -- Anyway, speaking of technicalities, so far testing with both new cockpits have gone well, as well as a working performance curve for the new "Tempest" engine. Just need some polishing with the config small data and visuals, as well as finalizing textures and hopefully capable of releasing when I can. I am sporadically getting more time so no waiting for new year, should be able to release an official 1.3.1 update soonTM But not very very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memeconnoiseur Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 cool. I'm in no real hurry for the engine, the lotus turbofans make a very good interim engine choice. They allow my 27-ton cargo plane to take off in about 400 metres, which is pretty OP STOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyFox Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) would it be too much to ask for a size 2 AC130 cockpit please? ive seen a few mods that adds one, but they look soo out of place and they don't have an IVA I reeeeallly love ac130s...

memeconnoiseur Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 yes, Blackheart is currently working on Release 19, the official release for 1.3.1 and he is working on too much for it for any of our part requests to be addressed until the release after R19 I want a C-130 cockpit because my Airplanes plus A400M (with jet engines instead of turboprops) and C-130 both use the airbus cockpit and that annoys me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lan_Morehell Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hello! I am trying to fit Leading Edge high-lift devices with FAR. But I can really see absolutely no effect on FAR Lift/Drag curves when I extend or retract Kruger flaps or slats.... Is it really compatible with FAR? How can i assess the effectiveness of LE devices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackheart612 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 @memeconnoiseur The work isn't that much despite the difficulty of cockpits and engines compared to other parts, but my main problem is I got stuff to do in real life (not that much anymore). Probably going to end once I get my license and back from it again. About past December 10 probably. @Cratzz I'd like to focus on the mod itself for now. It's one of the biggest reasons why I am not doing any mod compatibility patches of my own for now. I'm easily distracted and like I said, takes my focus off the things that I need to put in. Not to mention I think some more useful patches would be better done first If I do so. You're free to take it off the real plume, I don't mind. @Lan_Morehell As I said above this sentence, I don't have any added mod compatibility for the mod. Made and tested with stock + firespitter. Though most of the parts work well with FAR and I made efforts fixing the cockpit collider holes for FAR but no configuration for it. I am interested but like I said, I got more to do (I haven't even fully tested and applied the new engine curve and air intake curve I have in mind to all engines). If there are people who'd like to make configs for FAR, that's fine anywhere in the forums. Making wings compatible with FAR is more complicated than usual, iirc, and requires measurements of the model itself. Takes some time compared to other mods in terms of making compatibility. -- Anyway, back to developing, tested and finished the parts as well as added two more parts, Size 2 Booms. They look similar with the booms of the Mk1 and I'm thinking of making short booms for Size 2 as well. For people who use a custom config for Tweakscale, it might not be a problem but this is a custom made Size 2 Boom with its own texture and texture switch connecting to the black stripe alternative of the size 2 parts. Only needs a few more testing and if I do implement a short boom for Size 2, got to test that as well. Once done, might be set for release! Oh, and the engine cowling works nicely now.

Guest Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 @memeconnoiseur He said multiple times that he doesn't think he should do configs because he doesn't want this mod to have multiple dependencies. So for now you have to ask other users for patches. Although, I do remember someone was working on an ASET patch for the helicopter cockpits. Also, there is already an RPM patch in the OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
