CAPFlyer Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 PLFs were indeed updated, but I wasn\'t talking about decoupling force. I was talking about seams in the fairings that appear when launching the carrier rocket.Nothing you can do about that until multiple connection points are supported. As of right now, you can only connect something at one point, not at multiple, thus the 'seam' is because the two objects are actually floating against each other with no actual connection.

Guest Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I wasn\'t talking small seams, the fairing literally came apart in flight, with huge gaping holes between each plate, and ones attached to each other were moved quite far. Which didn\'t happen before. It seems to be fixed now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I second Aquarius. It sounds good for a shuttle.Also, I\'d like to take that back: I wasn\'t talking small seams, the fairing literally came apart in flight, with huge gaping holes between each plate, and ones attached to each other were moved quite far. Which didn\'t happen before. It seems to be fixed now though. It isn\'t fixed, and the fairings seems to induce uncontrollable spin on the rocket as long as they\'re on. The effect is especially pronounced with Kosmos TKS as the payload. It\'d be really great if you fixed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgie Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 So, is this the dawning of the Age of Aquarius? =POn a more serious note, I eagerly await that shuttle. I suppose well be able to open and close the bay doors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I\'m consistently getting huge stability issues when using KW PLFs to launch Kosmos pack based spacecraft. They don\'t get seams on certain designs (like the Almaz station), but on others (like TKS), they do. Also, even on Almaz, they caused so much instability that Ascent Autopilot wasn\'t able to cope with it (I ended up manually putting it in a much lower orbit than I wanted). And I\'m sure it\'s because of the fairings. I\'ve swapped them out on the TKS (for Down Under fairings) and it reaches the desired orbit perfectly.

I don\'t think that would have made a difference, but it\'s worth trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Here you go. You\'ll need: The latest Kosmos, including the Angara pack.Down Under pack.Main K&W pack.NovaPunch.CBBP SPC pack (Space-X Falcons).AR-202 Ascent Autopilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickasskyle Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 It seemed fine to me, got it into orbit and planted it nicely.I\'m not quite sure what the problem was? There is a little wobble but that is to be expected on a tall rocket but it\'s not that bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I might need to test it with the updated the AR202, I see you used the latest version. Out of curiosity, what was the altitude you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickasskyle Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I\'m not used to using ASAS based things, so I was wondering why I kept pointing upwards.I leveled it off around 100km, had enough fuel to make it higher or lower if I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nurb Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I downloaded the Challenger LEM pack by itself and it seems that a 'parachuteTriple' is missing, do I have to download the main pack also?I\'m having this problem too, and I put all four packs into the parts folder. It won\'t load the craft without that part.I looked at the craft file and it\'s looking for 'parachuteTriple_4294913132'. I extracted all packs to their own little folder just to do a search for the part and it\'s not found in any of the packs. Did I screw something up somewhere? :-[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivrspigbat Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Happy St. Patrick\'s Day! I love the Ceres, but I want to ask if you could suggest a good space station design using EI so I can get my dock on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avan Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hmm, so it looks like others have had odd collision issues too. Specifically I was finding that I would get really strange wobbling behavior on the couplers (like they were trying to force out all the upper stages to the sides or something). 3 meter components seemed to glitch the most frequently. I had a similar problem with the large multi-split tanks. The 5x3 however tended to be by far the glitchiest.Strangely enough, the very first time I made a missile with these parts they worked just fine, but the subsequent relaunch (realized I forgot to install a parachute & went back) and everything after experienced collision glitches.Of note, I\'m stuck on version 0.14.0 due to the patcher issue. Hopefully it is merely a version issue, as .14.2 comes out soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
