Going to miss you!

I think it's because they can't stretch. You know how you spin up a rotor and the blades pull away from the hub? I think the game isn't allowing stretching in your current configuration so it's limiting you to the top speed that it can without stretching. GL, keep at it.
Unfortunately it's not that easy. Some of the latest turbines use the atmospheric science thingy as turbine blades, which don't expand.

I've finally managed to build the helicopter rotor with the working swashplate and collective.
Rotor uses 2 decouplers to act as the swashplate, and then there is one rcs ball for each rotor blade captured between the decouplers. 4 elevons bellow the swashplate control its pitch and roll and this is then transferred to the rotor blades.
For the collective I've used 2 elevons to push up on the rcs ball that act as the bearing for the swashplate. You can toggle these by engaging the brakes, it's not perfect but it works.
Only problem is the rotor will only spin at about 7rad/s. I've tried adding more engines and using the reaction wheels but for some reason it doesn't want to spin faster. One thing that is interesting is that if you don't decouple the rotor blades the rotor will be able to spin faster, but then the swashplate and collective don't work.
Excellent work!
Are you using RCS balls as root for some of your subassemblies? This would explain the 7 rad/s limit. The mass of the RCS balls is added to a root. If heavier parts are connected to a RCS ball, KSP/Unity does strange things (I once had a truck door floating in mid air after decoupling). -
Don't know if this is a thing but I'd rather see 1.6 arrive in 2019 instead of somewhere next week or so. Imagine releasing it just before the holidays and (worse case scenario) having a bugfest from here to the Mun. No time for a quickfix, people unhappy about their favorite mods not being updated etc.

Hmm... My requirements :
- Configurable / swappable sound files
- Compatibility up to 1.5.1.
Anyways, I'll try that out, I'll see whether that'll work.
I also planned on working on my own sirens mod, which focuses on outdoor warning sirens, not vehicular ones (But vehicular sirens will be available as either my own separate pack or a collab with you).
If you have some sound files, I'll be glad to add them. The sirens themselves can be placed on any craft, changing pitch is done by changing thrust. The mod should be compatible with the most recent versions because I made it through part file edits and a legacy module. No custom models were used but this might change.

I suppose part design and bug fixing aren't taken care of by the same people.
Wut?
You're saying there are multiple types of game developers? Oh no ... I always saw them as übertalented semi-machines capable of coding while texturing while drinking their tiny amounts of Jolt cola - because they don't need more.
I think I'll find a cave then. Not worthy. -
Because my car has active suspension to cancel body roll (it beats the 2017 McLaren 675LT in the Swedish Moose test) I was interested if I could make something like this with stock KSP.
Here I present to you my 77 Industries Anti-Roll Experiment, built into my Lowell XT.
Testing was done at 60m/s and 2G lateral force. The anti-roll system works but because of the way KSP handles wheels, the increase in cornering speed was minimal (2.1 vs 1.9 G's).
So I won't be building this into my cars.

Didn't see a link to the video.
So ... Squad/T2 ... please read the comments on that video as well. Summoning @JPLRepo to spread the massage (pun intended).
Even on the largest unofficial FB group they're talking about this video.
T2: you guys have deep pockets and this is a title with a bright future, maybe just not mere the niche of space exploration. The editor is the game's main selling point. Invest some more money. Even better: buy Unity and fix thát.

Today I continued work on my 2-cylinder 4-stroke engine, which was on the shelf since July. Stock + DLC. Massive improvements in reliability and sturdiness. And I've finally got the valves working. It doesn't run on its own power yet, I need to tweak the timing a lot.

You might like my little mod.
-
Very cool! I'll take a look some day.
-
That's really beautiful! If you'll upload it to KerbalX.com I'll put it in the hangar with the other Star Trek ships.
-
And again muchas gracias for updating my favorite plugin! Your work is incredibly valuable to me (I'll PM you soon about it).

@RoverDude Bit of a thread necro but it's a short thread and seems relevant.
I have a few efficiency related questions I'm hoping you can help with:
- Does UseSpecialistBonus effect the speed/rate of ModuleResourceConverter or create more/less outputs for a set number of inputs?
- Can you explain how SpecialistHeatFactor works in a bit more detail. Does the value of 0.1 mean that only 10% of the heat is generated or is it linked to the other specialist numbers?
In my experience it does. Put a 5-star engineer on board and you'll see a massive increase in resource conversion and decrease in heat generation. You can observe the numbers for the lower classed engineers and extrapolate from there. I don't know about variables like stupidity.

Still on hiatus from the interwebs. I will check this now and then but don't expect your craft to get in soon. Sorry about this.
No problem. My hiatus is extended as well. Something weird called "real life". Can't really put my finger on it. Is it some kind of dream?
-
Look who's back ;-)
Recognize this shape? This is no stock turboprop. It's a stock jet with the looks of that (in)famous fighter of WW2. I'll upload it to KerbalX without paintjob.
I can't paint the probe core (the head of the pilot) but maybe @DoctorDavincican do something about that? I'm using 1.4.5 for this one.
Anyway, this plane is 3 times larger than the original and 20 times heavier. It still performs okay, its top speed is around 650 km/h at sea level. The original achieves that speed at 6300m.
It's powered by 14 Wheesley's (!) giving it a 800 km range just like the original. But no, this plane doesn't really have a TWR >1. I've deliberately kept the amount of air intakes to a minimum. This means no UFO behaviour.
WIP: the detachable canopy works fine ...
... the flameout works fine ...
... but the pilot falls apart during bailing out.
Anyway ... another CPU killer (530 parts) and not useful at all. But maybe fun. Throw some balls at it or something.

Interesting design. I'm curious how you managed to keep everything aligned. I've tried several different bearing designs and rover wheels. Mostly the shaft jitters itself out of the motor and blows up on the runway. When it does stay together, I can't get enough traction from the rover wheels to spin the shaft at more than a crawl.
Oops. That's asking for more than a thousand words. Currently RL keeps me occupied. And this topic will be addressed when I start broadcasting with Twitch.

@AzimechI believe has made one, but for a boat, not a plane.
Correct.

I'm on a hiatus but short races every once in a while is a nice idea. The more rugged the terrain, the better IMHO. The only problem then is terrain detail, it's a totally different race for someone with low detail than high.
-
If you're over 35 like me, you might remember this one. No, I don't understand my brain but it's one of the better earworms. Quality of the recording could be better though.
And let's finish with the standard "YEAH YEAH HIHIHIHIHI HRRRRM" "HUHUHUHUHUHUHU SHUT UP BEAVIS!"

I can probably do something about that
Sure you can ... but can you cope with the philosophical implications? It would probably violate one of the rules of this forum :-P
-
Today I felt like making this one.
By the way, it can't get to space so this can't turn into a philosophical discussion.

This version kicks the **** out of every other version on the internet. I have a semi-acoustic bass. If I buy an electric I won't stop until it sounds like this one.
And yes ... this song gets stuck in my head at least once a month.

I'd love to play with it.
