  1. textured all the RCS and crazy ball and cylinder tanks. and everything has some paint on it. tomorrow will add detail to the Capsule and such. will be a pain.

    but i have to ask.

    currently the Durgun the engines are powerful and use fuel rather quickly from the tank but landing you have the engine on 25% and it will keep you acceleration stable. ad use RCS to change it.

    should I keep it that way or make them lower power and such so you have to run them on max the whole tiem form a certain high and it slows you down slowly until ground contact?

  2. :) i know . many seem to be wanting spaceX stuff. me included. so I decided to make it. I am currently texturing. all models are complete (aside from adapters) but it should work for all 1.5 meter stuff.

    also, i am cancelling production of the 3 meter size. i will be making something else 3 meter with the same function and relativity as the 1.5 meter version. :) The 3m variant was just too huge to be a Falcon.

  3. I whipped up a quick parachute system. I think I\'m going to have the parachutes only be safe over water. If you want to land on dry land, you\'ll have to use the engines.

    I also upped the pod torque, it handles a lot better in orbit now (especially on roll) and the flight dynamics aren\'t affected. RCS is still useless for roll, I\'ll revisit it when Harv fixes the bug.

    [uPDATE: Hmph, having trouble getting the parachute to look right in the half-open position. It basically has no radius at the moment.]

    I did the same thing. they splash you down at 10 m/s This breaks stuff on land.

    Can i ask what you want your chute to look like?

  4. I wonder - it seems like you totally filled the trunk section of the spacecraft with tanks. That\'s not the case in real life - it\'s mostly empty, with just a few 'boxes' in there. There are no external fuel tanks visible or even in place, as far as I know. Only ECLSS connections, added batteries / possibly some gyro\'s, the solar panel assembly and the radiator assembly.

    Its perfectly fine if you want to add them to your model, but if you want to be as correct as possible, it\'s basically just a place to pack a few boxes and attach solar panels...

    no fuel tanks whatsoever in the trunk.

    I am quite aware. it is just a solar array and launches nano sats. However. In mine it will carry fuel. Sorry if they offends you.

    I might offer an empty version. But i am in no way trying to copy anything exactly. if I like a trait I include it. if i dislike it. it is gone. but thanks :D

    anyway. just have one more item to make model wise then i will get to texturing. :D oh joy...
