Chimer4 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I don't think I could have landed this any closer to the VAB if I had tried. Judged my landing a bit long and just skimmed the roof of the VAB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that's a practice rig, I made similar designs just to figure out how to land the F G9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimer4 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) @damonvv @Bottle Rocketeer 500 yep it was a gidorah heavy side booster doing an RTLS. I was aiming for in front of the VAB but ended up in that corner instead. You can see in FMRS the other booster is landed, the core is waiting to be landed, and the second stage is on its way Edited December 25, 2017 by Chimer4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one way I do my RTLS and ASDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one way I do my RTLS and ASDS Yeah that's what I was doing, I was on target for the launch pad but as I was getting closer it drifted westwards for some reason (the trajectories marker was actually in the roof of the VAB in my picture). It was quite a heart pounding landing. I came so close to the roof of the VAB that if I had my legs out at the time they would have clipped it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 Trying to balance the textures a bit, first pic is a different time of day to try to see through it 1 = Black interstage, more dirty first stage texture 2 = Dark gray interstage, lighter dirty first stage 3 = Dark gray interstage, more dirty first stage texture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the more dirty option. IMO it would be better to try and colour match the interstage with the black legs from KRE, chances are that anyone who uses this mod will also be using KRE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Blue Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I think it depends on what look you are going for... a more realistic look, or a stockalike... IMHO, 1 is closer to a realistic look... 2 and 3, are totally stockalike to me... I would prefer my SpaceX parts to LOOK like SpaceX parts, and not just blend in, to the stock and plethora of stockalike modded parts that are out there... But thats just MY opinion... It all depends on what YOU think @damonvv , and what look/marketshare of users, that you are wanting to target... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up with this: I extended the soot to it looks a bit better. Made the shroud the right colour for a more stockalike feeling and made the top part cleaner because of ice forming.

Stone Blue Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Well, if you gotta go stockalike, , at least you did it right, IMHO... meaning I like the higher contrast between the colors/sections... :thumbs_up: Its stockalike, but "better" than stock Edited December 25, 2017 by Stone Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damon Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) When you have a lol with friends.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @JadeOfMaar @Gameslinx @Stone Blue I'll push out an update later this week with fixes for Gojira and some new textures for Ghidorah and the upcoming Block 5 version. (No pink Ghidorah! It was a joke! Promise ) Edited December 27, 2017 by damonvv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tygoo7 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 @damonvv Pink Ghidorah isn't a canon skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TachyonGMZ Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Will the gojira/BFR have better gimballing and stronger reaction wheels wo It can actually land on duna? At the moment it is impossible to flip around even with rcs as the gimbal is not strong enough. Will it have realplume at some point?
