Beale Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Wow! Thanks for all the naming tips Here is some more tanks, too extreme with the paint scheme maybe? Click for larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click for larger. Looks Great! I like the extreme-ness of it. The rivets are a super nice touch. I think it is suitable for the Black Prince, it screams "Hey I'm a unique rocket!" Keep it.

Default value is True: Fairing detaches with the decoupler. IIRC, the way False used to work is that it would stay attached to the engine until the engine was staged. Sort of the way the interstage between the Saturn V first and second stages worked. (stage sep -> stage 2 rockets fire -> little while later, interstage detaches from stage 2). You've seen videos of that right? That's sort of how isFairing used to work. Sort of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think many parts in Tantares have it set to false, I will need to fix that quickly. Edited March 8, 2016 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes me smile that shades of grey might be too extreme. Make the body metallic purple, then it might be extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the body metallic purple, then it might be extreme. Artistic relativism. An odd challenge to model the Black Prince's engine. It has an odd shape. The old model was very abstracted, this model will be closer, but still simplified... Because I am not a very competent 3D modeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time they will gimbal, which will make the Black Prince actually pilot-able, without any reaction systems. Small alteration... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For even more inverted wine and beer glasses instead of thruster nozzles are not needed.

InsaneDruid Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 You posted a picture where it is clearly visible. you can see, between the two "bulges" up and down in this pic the fairing is recessed in terms to the shape of the rest of the tanks on the left.
