Can I get a yay!

My Ares 1 had a beefed up LES linked to the abort and action group 1 to deploy parachutes to land the 6 kernels gently

It is their advertising, Squad tries to keep the forums kid friendly, and Mediafire had some rather graphic advertising and borderline malware

Very nice, reminds me of mine I built for my Ares 1, mine is for a bigger scale rocket to use in the Dunatian and seats 6, whats behind your fairing?

It isn't, the link was removed, but the text remains @ap0r should probably find a new hosts like Google, Dropbox or Curse

Oh yeah I forgot, about this, I wanted to show you a 2.5m custom cockpit I made that I think turned out pretty good, I also have a way to color the fairings. I love your AWAC's, you could probably make the Radome out of fairings too.

I've also been playing with two physics settings, velocity exponent and density exponent, these control when the Mach effects start, when the orange glow starts etc, thanks to @NathanKell for helping. I like a picture of a flaming meteor of Kerbal death as much as the next person, however it annoyed me when my air refuelling tanker would get Mach effects, also I want to take some video at high Mach (2.5+) and didn't want the plane to look like a meteor streaking across the sky, it's supposed to be stealthy dammit. The default values are aeroFXVelocityExponent = 3.5 // Exponent to velocity used when calculating aeroFX strength aeroFXDensityExponent1 = 0.5 // This is e1 So I have tweaked them a bit, and I am much happier, it also helps with frame rates as the effects suck a bit so not having them happen means doing high speed manoeuvres (sub 500ms) does not affect the frame rate.

Really any small plane with Panthers is ultra-maneuverable, if I leave Gimbal on full I can get a replica F-18 in the air off the Launchpad. I find myself turning the Gimbal off on all my replica's now, I nearly did a Cobra turn in an SR-71! Anyway I really like your little plane, I especially like the teeny tiny custom intakes.

I use two mods, though it could probably be done with one, I've always used Flag Decals, it's easy and there aren't any scaling issues, but it does have quite a few parts, I don't like a cluttered menu. The other new one is Nebula Decals, which requires Tweakscale to work, and you have to worry about scaling issues, and it can't scale too big. But if you want multiple different decals it's your only choice. Yep. still works, I have only just installed it so not too familiar yet, I only saw two parts, but I didn't go looking for the others, that might explain my scaling issues too

The capsule annoys me, not because of the way it looks on your plane, which looks nice, but because I know you could use a mk3 cockpit and get more/better performance, dv, and crew

I like your sub, I may be competing with you (with a completely stock and unpainted version of course) Edit: I got the cockpit mask fixed, lights up and everything, added a few more parts, quite a bit more to do bu you can see it is pretty useful already.

How many hours away is that for you?

So does that mean you are starting now? Or have we got 24 hours for new submissions?

It probably is, but I can't do it yet, so this way is easier for me, I have already reorganised all the configs and now I am licking the masks problem. There is also no reason, whomever builds a replacement could not use the work I have already done to build their own, why waste it.

This took entirely too long to figure out, but I've got the only working one on the planet!

Thats a pretty comprehensive package

I have some good news, for those people wanting to create Masks, here is my procedure. Open Squads dds part texture (i.e. NoseCone.dds) in a program that supports it (I use ImageMagick it works on virtually any platform) I export the image to .png and use Gimp to edit it, you may edit it in the program you used to open the .dds Now you may edit the masks according to the original imgur album below When you take the dds file and convert it to png, then paint your mask, before you export it to KerbPaint directory you must flip the image vertically. Then the mask will line up with the texture in game. After you have created the mask you must add it to a config file, if you are doing it for a mod then please create a seperate config file for your mod, if you want I can add that config file to the download zip I am creating.

Crazy new upvote button

Multiple floor stops, thats new

V2?

I have to fix that cockpit mask, Edit: fixed! New Kerbpaint upload coming soon.

Im lovin my planes at the moment 65 Parts! it has two bays for equipment, a docking port on top for refuelling, still working on KerbPaint to get all the parts painted.

I tried that, the only way I got them both to even takeoff was to zoom climb the tanker.

I know this thread is quite old, but I could not really find a closer explanation of what I am looking for. I want to tone down the 'Mach Effects', not eliminate them completely but make them less obvious and to come in at higher speeds, the picture below illustrates a plane at about Mach 1.5, and it looks to be right on the edge of turning orange, in reality this type of plane could approach mach 2.8 without ever having a 'glow'. I know that some missiles that take of very fast can have their nose cones glow white hot from heat, but I am not sure at what speed that glow is apparent, but I am guessing above Mach 5. Going by the above these seem to be the settings in physics.cfg that control the aerodynamic effects, but I am unsure if they cover the start of the Mach Effects or just the start of the Orange glow. the labelling seems to indicate they are in m/s and not Mach but I would think not. Picture of plane at Mach 1.5

Yeah I have seen f-18 replicas take off from the VAB pad with the gimballing after burning panthers
