HSTW 1.75m Gemini

So Tosh, besides the RCS - only Gemini, what\'s next for you?

I\'m currently in the project I would not like to disclose (as I\'m not the one who leads the job). Next will be RCS-Gemini. Next... I think I\'ll finish with it.

You could make it as a deployable side-mounted parachute...

But yeah, to be perfect, it would also need deployable skids... ;)

Hey guys ! now that we have 0.14 we can ! we 'just' have to understand how the gear works, and that\'s OK for the skids ! Next 'just' model a working rogallo wing !

I think that the landings are going to be...really kerbal ;P

[EDIT]: I searched around the config files and you don\'t even need to create skids yourself, you can modify the deploy angle, orientation... next re-texture it a little and you\'re done !

Going to try to fit a radial parachute on the gemini with those skids, to see if it can work...

Are you going to make a Titan to go with it?

I\'ve tried to replicate a Titan using NovaPunch parts, but the Twin Bertha Lite engine is too weak for a first stage.

Just learned that parachutes can\'t produce lift,only drag, so no paraglider :( but maybe the paraglider would be visual, and then we have two invisible winglets with high lift ?

Maybe I\'ll ask Feanor. He\'s making ICBMs anyway, and Titan is basically just that.
You may also increase Twin Bertha\'s thrust manually. See maxThrust parameter in KSP\Parts\NP_1.75mTwinBerthaEngine\part.cfg file.

I\'d wait till plugin documentation is released. Probably custom module DLL could provide some means to create a deployable part with lift.

OK, I\'ve set to make a Titan II myself, and I\'m doing fairly well. Maybe I\'ll also make other rockets of that family.

BTW, I\'ve read a few things on Gemini, and it turns out it had a lot of things you didn\'t simulate (though they\'re modeled, as it turns out).

Among these are four de-orbiting rockets and RCS system. Could you add them to the capsule? It\'d help with re-enecting missions once I\'ve perfected the Titan II (and especially once the docking is added, since I\'m planning to make a Titan III with Agena upper stage).

RCS: yes, it\'s planned. Though I\'m not sure when I gonna release that.

Rockets: no.

OK. Shame about the deorbiting retros though. If I\'m not mistaken, these are the 'pop-up' looking parts, right?

Maybe after more complex animation is implemented, they could look awesome popping up and firing (unless these are not retros, in which case nevermind).

Tried to download this add-on, got all excited about the Gemini parts, but says I don\'t have access to that part of the forum.

Activated/Registered with the forum. Is this add-on still available?

Thanks!

Correction, from the front page display-case, I get that error, when I drill down into the official forum heading, I can DL it. I got it now! Can\'t wait!

Thanks!
