rdfox Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yeah, just tried it with .85, and oh, the agony of waiting (and of what it did to my staging!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigred2989 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Could you make a tutorial on how to properly use these parts please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigred2989 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Woah what mod lets you tab and add the stages of parts like that? Also I was hoping for a better description of all the parts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdfox Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Personally, I'm just going to wait for 0.9 Stable to come out, instead of playing with the experimental builds. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludongki Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 well 0.9x4 seem pretty stable for me..only frame drop when the exhaust from burner damaging other parts below it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigred2989 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Can you post that new version again? That download link doesn't work anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andras Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 0.9x6 is out, and it's the last test version before the full release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigred2989 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 But the latest version on the website says 8.5. Where are you guys getting this newer version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semininja Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 But the latest version on the website says 8.5. Where are you guys getting this newer version?In the KSP Development forum, there's a thread for the latest experimental release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdfox Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hey, Safer, a couple ideas for the next version, to make your LES even more realistic...First off, while Mercury didn't, Apollo and Orion both were designed to use a 'Boost Protective Cover' that went over the capsule to protect it from the vague possibility of hitting a bird or something, and, more importantly, the exhaust of the escape rocket. This'd be pretty simple, it'd basically be a small shroud nose cone that's big enough to fit over the capsule and parachute pack, set up as a decoupler like Nova's jettisonable nose cones. (Not that useful now, but once we have a proper abort sequencer, it'd let us jettison the escape rocket during a normal flight.)Second, since the escape rocket was jettisoned once the spacecraft was high and fast enough to be able to abort on its on-board engines instead of needing a tower, maybe we could also add a jettison motor? The real Apollo and Orion LESes both have one, a small solid-fuel rocket firing obliquely above the escape motor that, once the BPC is jettisoned, will pull it and the tower off the stack and cause it to tumble off to the side, so that the capsule doesn't plow into it again. It could probably be something similar to the radial-mount solid booster in thrust configuration, and otherwise pretty similar to the performance of the radial-mount ullage motors, since it doesn't need the full thrust of the tower, and was also used to make certain that the tower and BPC were well and truly clear of the spacecraft when they were jettisoned in an abort scenario...Just a couple ideas to throw out there!
