I experienced such a moment in real life, and it was perhaps the most frightning thing I ever saw. Fortunately it wasn\'t from my own car, but the wheel of a boat trailer blew out in front of me and seconds later broke off entirely. As in that Herbie scene, with the weight of the trailer now detached, the wheel actually accellerated while bouncing across four lanes of a busy freeway. It then deflected off the center barrier and bounced back across the freeway, including once mere feet in front of my car, before it rolled out of sight behind a gap in the sound wall. It was near miraculous that it didfn\'t hit any cars in all that distance. Anyway, that\'s my story.

Are Aldrin Cyclers possible in KSP?
ultrasquid replied to VincentMcConnell's topic in KSP1 Discussion
It might be possible (I couldn\'t say for sure) but the orbital path will not fully render in the current version. It\'s been said that more complex orbits can be displayed in the upcoming .15 version, so let\'s wait and see what it can do. -

Just curious: Has anyone had success with/even tried TileMill for rendering your csv data? It sounds like something that can be used, but I haven\'t tried it and it might be totally unsuited to the purpose, but there it is if you want to give it a go, and it has a Mac version.

Sounds like an excuse to send up a rocket with lasers mounted for a debris clearing mission.

[PLUGIN, PART, 0.17] Bigtrak KSP Edition v.30 Liltrak
ultrasquid replied to chickenplucker's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Looks like you\'re planting a flower garden up there. I wonder how big of a habitation module we can stuff in a Cuttlefish and land it successfully. -
First you need the KSP SDK for Mac HASH Animation Master, Maya, Lightwave, Cinema 4D, and Carrara are among many 3D modeling programs available for Mac OS X at a wide range of price points. Blender is a free, open-source 3D modeling application that is very full-featured, but the interface is very un Mac or even Windows-like. You will need something that has a Collada (*.DAE) model format export function. Pixelmator is a good low-cost alternative to Photoshop for the Mac, if you don\'t need CMYK editing mode. You can download it from the App Store for $30. If you need a free image editor, you can get GIMP to work on a Mac, but it too is a bit awkward. You will also need a text editor. The TextEdit.app that comes with Mac OS X is perfectly adequate, but you may want something else if you intend to do a lot of coding.

[1.0.2] NovaPunch 2.09. - May 6th - 1.0 Compatibility Update
ultrasquid replied to Tiberion's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Perhaps a revision of the flying saucer and signal flare parts? I know you said he lights based on plugins are better, and for lights they are, but the flares serve a very different purpose. There are an awful lot of orphanware parts in the depths of the forum, like the orange sphere fuel tank and the BFE, among others. It would be nice for those to have a continued life and be brought into balance given their volume and weight. -
A couple things I notice about your map: 1. all bodies of water are at 0 elevation. Even in alpine valleys with no outlet, there is no standing water at higher elevations. 2. The scanning beam does not record any ocean floor detail. #1 Is a design problem for the Squad development team to deal with should they chose to modify the map of Kerbin for final release, but I wonder if #2 could be handled with an adjustment to this plugin.

It works, just hold W and you\'ll walk forever (I\'ll post a video over the weekend) Suggestions: -Ability to set rotation speeds -Parts that stay loose and are affected by gravity (if you attach a beam to a rotation node, it should naturally turn until it falls due to torque) I\'ve got to wonder how deadshot462 did that. I built a walker with a similar crank-leg configuration and the rotor servos go out of sync almost immediately.

It may be that your copy of MuMechLib.dll needs to be updated.

[PLUGIN, PART, 0.17] Bigtrak KSP Edition v.30 Liltrak
ultrasquid replied to chickenplucker's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Have you considered using a 6 section fairing? that might allow sufficient ramp width and hinge bulk that the 8 section configuration is not -
If somebody comes up with a 'stratolite' type LTAV platform, that might work for this kind of application. Otherwise We\'ll have to figure out how to increase the functional range of the scanning beam. While we\'re at it, the possibility of increasing the width of the scanning beam should be investigated.
-
Though it doesn\'t work like you want, somewhere around here is a 'Funbags' module that looks like the inflatable you suggest. It actually functions as a weak parachute, intended to augment/stabilize landing thrusters. I\'ll put up a link once I find its thread. It\'s part of Technical Ben\'s Retro Command Pod landing Rockets.
-
I think it\'s more that it is optimized to operate at an altitude of 4000m or lower, which is inherently unsafe orbit height in atmosphere. You might try attaching one to a plane and fly a level spiral or switchback search pattern and see what happens.If this app were rewritten in Java, we Mac users could run it without much issue.

The zip file won\'t open for me either, and I\'m on a Mac. -
I like this docking claw idea and would like to see it developed further along something like sgtblazer\'s concept
