There is a slider that says "torque limiter". Just move that up to your desired RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfa Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 A pair of counterrottating EM-32s. Not high performance, only about 50m/s cruise speed, and a lot of drag if the motors aren't at top speed. Using stage action group to activate motor and fuel cell, translation up/down to control RPM limit. Torque at max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about the view one gets when clicking the "View" button on the Kerbal portrait. I think it's just a bug, because the navball is rotating and I just discovered that the camera position snaps to the correct one after a timewarp. Trying to make short video, but would be interested to know if others see this behavior as well or if it's on my side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess thats why he has so many SAS modules on it? 49 minutes ago, HebaruSan said: Conservation of angular momentum. If you don't want the other part of the craft to spin, add another propeller going the other direction. There are two, they're just mounted one atop the other. Presumably with some tricky clipping. No tricky clipping. I have 1 "standard" rotor, on top of 1 tiny rotor- The tiniest rotor is set to freely spin (not motorized), preventing torque from being transmitted to the main craft. So then on the standard rotor I have 1 set of blade on the top, and since the top spins, the bottom spins, so I put another set of blades on the bottom part. The top and bottom spin in opposite directions, torque is cancelled, and I use the tiniest rotor just to stop the rest of the craft from spinning with the bottom rotor. The SAS was just there from an earlier iteration with a larger rotor, that was too powerfull, a little wobble got the rotor off center, centrifugal effects started to happen, things got weird. Initially i tried compensating with more SAS before I realized what the problem was... then I just left them on. *edit*, you can see it here, I forgot I had an I-beam separating the rotor from the main craft, for clearance purposes: So the top rotor spins the blades, and of course, and equal and opposite torque is put on the bottom part and the attached I-beam. Thus both sets of rotors are powered by the singe motor. Under the I-beam you see the smallest size rotor. It just spins freely to decouple the main craft's rotation from the lower rotor's rotation.

klesh Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Mine just explodes when I spawn it. I'm trying not to give up in frustration. Maybe something simpler to start for me I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klapaucius Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Awesome stuff. Leave it to me to find a bug already! In the SPH if I try to change the blade pitch with the rotation tool, half my blades disappear. That was a 4-bladed prop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo5144 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) we can't use the throttle key ? maj ctrl w x ? if i want it in mod 1or 2 or 3 ... for the propeler but desactivate him in default mode. i want control a propeler like a rocket Edited May 30, 2019 by jojo5144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefinger73 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Are there written instructions for the robotics anywhere? I'm struggling with the editor and how to use action groups. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually, but a little guidance would go a long way. Edit: I found the following video which helped me understand how the KAL-1000 controller worked with Action Groups, the example starts at about 3:50 in the video.

My KSP install is in a non-C: drive folder... on a different partition...

To be clear, thats just pressing launch, and the ship shakes itself apart. I agree, I think its an old classic KSP bug. I gave up on it. Trying something else that might be easier.

Dash8466 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Devs? can we move the rotors lower in the tech tree? at least have it unlockable with the juno? and could the power on all of them be increased? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Putting it on a launch clamp sees the main rotor spinning at 130rpm with the motor disengaged. Its a Kraken drive, I guess. I have both the tail rotor and the main rotor set to turn on when I press Custom 1, and I can do that, and they'll spin at their preferred, set RPM. When I turn off the engine I get kraken drive on the main rotor. I'm also supremely confused about the next thing I am trying to accomplish. Standby for that too; totally different craft.

I'm going to ask you the stupid question so we can eliminate it: Did you move the downloaded .exe file to your KSP directory, or is it still sitting in Downloads? EDIT: This was not the answer. It is installable from anywhere. The issue was that Stone had deleted the Launcher (which has been deprecated), but the installer still wanted it present.

I'm having a similar problem with this prop plane I threw together. It won't go down the runway with any speed, so if I crank up the power and or RPM, the blades just fly off and destroy everything.

Poodmund Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 With the Celestial Body Shadows enabled, does anyone else have the issue where they do not seem to work at all? Position of bodies Sun occluded by Ike No shadow on Duna ... same thing happens with Kebin/Mun and Eve/Laythe where I have tried to view a shadow occuring.

Nope... this is on a fresh, stock 1.7.1 install... Just thought of something, and did a fresh unpackage of 1.7.1... Now it works... The only difference is, i had deleted the Launcher.exe and LauncherData folder... (I always do in a new install) ... so, it seems the broken Launcher is needed vOv ... unless they recently actually fixed it... vOv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
