OrbitalEscape

Does anyone know what the 4 parts of the rotating ring are? From the movie one was the galley, and one was the workout room. One of the youtube trailers showed the captain's office and there was gravity so i would assume that was another, and maybe the last one is the sleeping quarters?

Animated the antenna

The MDV doesn't appear in the movie except for when he was getting hydrazine but only the engines are visible, so there is no information on it from the movie

Yes the ring is spinning way too fast at the moment, I was just seeing if it would work. Also if you didn't catch it the ring is spinning the wrong direction than in the movie It's very hard to say how long but as soon as everything is textured then we will have a download. That might be 1-2 weeks. That definitely won't be a release version and it may be a month before we could call it released. As you can see most of the parts are in game now and it is "flyable"

Not yet, we are going to get this as a working mod first. Then we will try to use infernal robotics to have the ring spin but we can't promise that it will work, but I want to have it spinning as much as you do

The behemoth on the runway (no fuel tanks module yet)

Yes but only with the standard size(clamp-o-tron, shielded, and inline docking ports. clamp-o-tron jr and sr wont work)

Hopefully in the next couple of days, I'm trying to finish up the IVA to be included in this release

IVA coming soon!!

What??? You make no sense. The whole point of this mod is a CST-100 replica, which means a 7 person crew and 3.75m pod. If you are looking at this mod because it has a service module then check out this mod (SDHI). There is already a 2.5m pod in the stock game so why would you want this as 2.5? You said that 7-man crew is too much; CST stands for Crew Space Transportation because all it does is transport people to the ISS, basically a space bus. - - - Updated - - - IRL CST=4.56m diameter Orion=5m diameter Those are pretty close in size and this mod is not a 100% 1 for 1 replica so we made it 3.75m because it fits the Atlas V (by kartoff) better than 3.125

The CST-100 is now officially named "Starliner"!

Thanks for pointing this out, I have changed all the cfg file names and the name of the parts to not be generic (ex. heatshield was just named heatshield so I changed it to cstheatshield). I'm not sure why my version was working fine.

Since it seems like you have been testing this a lot, how well does the battery and mono propellant last when docking and doing orbital maneuvers? I wasn't sure if I had balanced the amount of electric charge and mono in it and having the solar panel point only 1 direction is a pain

Actually it's the Atlas V 412 configuration FYI

Thanks for the help Ven, but I had figured it out. I did have a game object suncatcher with the z facing the correct way. But what fixed it for me was that the z of the panel model itself had to be facing the sun so I made the scale of Z= -1 and that worked.

Yeah sorry we don't have built in parachutes yet, we are waiting for 1.1 to come out because I am assuming that animations will be updated to Unity 5 animations. Currently animations can only be done with Unity 4.2.2

I don't know what else to try so I think it must have to be modeled in the correct orientation. If you want to export your parts to KSP download this addon for unity. Just put it in your assets and then on your part Add Component>KSP>Part Tools. Set the file URL to where you want it to go and when you click write it will create a .mu file and a texture. There are a few other small details to finish the part.

Drakenex- I did not realize that the engines were i bit high so I have lowered them, but they are meant to go on the higher node. Also I have fixed the nosecone getting stuck and the next release will have these fixes.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. So I'm making a static solar panel that doesn't extend and no matter how i rotate it or the other transforms it only collects sun/energy on the bottom. How do I make it collect sun from the correct side? Thanks

Known bugs at the moment: Solar panels FIXED Parachutes are not setup yet Hole in heat shield FIXED The nosecone gets stuck in the clamp-o-tron docking port FIXED - - - Updated - - - Also here are a couple of mods that work well with this: Launchers pack contains the Atlas V rocket which is what will be used to launch the CST-100 Airbags mod has capsule shaped airbags that go on the bottom of the capsule see here

This is great news as we have been using your Atlas V to lift our CST-100: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/132070-WIP-1-0-4-CST-100-Replica-3-75m-7-Seat-Crew-Vehicle%21

Now that you can transfer crew between docked ships in stock KSP, most people don't have a use for Connected Living Space. I have no knowledge of how to make plugins or code for KSP so if you wanted something like this for this pod then you would have to help or show me some kind of tutorial.

Hhmm, I understand that the docking port is a bit small but I had designed this to be as small as possible to barely fit a Kerbal. I had taken a Kerbal on EVA to size it up next to the pod to make sure it a Kerbal could reasonably fit. I do plan on making an external hatch for the next update. Thanks for the input!

No, they are solid fuel boosters that cannot be shutdown. There is no gimbal but the pod has plenty of SAS torque.
