[WIP] X-20 Dynasoar

[sirkut]

I PM'd you a link to the file. But here's a screenshot.

I'm terrible with curved parts and the design has the edge of the wing to curve up to then form the vertical fin.

[sirkut]

Thanks for frizzank for the wings & tips on what to do. I'm now back on track. I'm currently making sure all the parts join well together then I'll start work on the IVA.

[CaptRobau]

Got any new screens to share?

Will the vertical fins be separated from main wing? That would be required for this to work with FAR.

I spoke to ferram about what is needed in order to support FAR and has told me what to do with the vertical fins.

[Guest]

That's great. Looking forward to flying this.

Currently I have the vertical fins pointing slighting towards center of the craft similar to what all the blueprints show. Would FAR throw a fit or will this be ok?

[Guest]

I think it should be OK. It worked IRL, it should work in FAR.

Super news. Thanks!

I like how it's coming along, but will it be able to service sattelites, drop bombs, etc.?

Service satalites? I guess? Fly up there and do whatever?

Drop bombs? Why would this drop bombs?

[Guest]

Be careful about being too eager to fly the X-20...

First version will not allow servicing of anything unless you plan on Eva. Next update after that I will see about a cargo variant.

This thing is so old, it's more like a... dinosaur!

*Ba-Dum Tssss*

Really, I can't wait for this thing! Or, yes, I can wait for it, but the anticipation is killing me! Or, right, I'm not actually dying, but... you know what I mean.

It was supposed to be able to sabatoge enemy satelites, drop bombs for some reason, send crew to a/the MOL, spy on Soviets, etc.

[Damaske]

Looking forward to more on this project, i hope your doing good. I used to make a few ships back for Freelancer but texturing was not my thing also. I look forward to seeing and flying this!

Yup, the old hypersonic skip-bomber. Inspired by the German "Silverbird" from Sanger...basically, you "skip" a spaceplane across the upper atmosphere, and kick the bomb (usually a nuke, due to accuracy concerns) out while in between "skips". If done properly, one can actually go all the way around the earth with this technique, allowing you to hit the target from the long way 'round.

Is this thread dead?

Is this thread dead?

You know, it's only two weeks since the last post. That doesn't really qualify as dead.

[sirkut]

Is this thread dead?

Personal life, work and serious family issues takes priority in my life. I apologize there hasn't been much development. Now you have been notified. It's not dead just set aside.

[Voidryder]

Sirkut, hope the family issues aren't too serious. Take care. We'll wait for your return.

[Nahim]

Im trying to recreate my own X-20 too.

*edit, sh%t, sorry mate, didn't realise you had some probs, hope all is ok.

This looks awesome.I just love the retro look; they really had the aesthetics down in the 50's.

Hope your IRL troubles get sorted soon

[sirkut]

I'm necroing my own thread to state that after I release 0.16 of Infernal Robotics I will be resuming work on the Dynasoar. I really want to see this puppy fly and it's such a crazy craft.
