I'm going to create a mod that allow to create any engine ingame(rocket, jet, prop, car engine, ion, etc). The mod will work dividing engine in section each configurable ex;(for prop engine) propeller(s), blades, shaft, gear box,air intake(s), exhaust(s), engine(s)(piston, tuboprop, electric, rocket????). I need your help too find how to balance everything. (jet and prop)

Nope; when two wings are aligned, the turbulence of the first makes the second useless. (in real life) There is, of course, exception. ex: body lift design

You think this is big? Wait for my modular plane. Can be expended as much as you want. (or as much as your computer can support) Only pitch and yaw are affected. Second BAF catalog is coming soon with a lot of unstandard contraption.

Do you need help for review? Last one was on June 4, more than a month ago!

problem solve, ksp-avc did not tell me about the new version

0.9.7.1 doesn't work for me, 0.9.6.3 does (did not test version between)

Baaaa just keep towing all the way. Goal was to make a different kind of cargo plane where cargo is supported by its own wing and can be passenger (crew cab) Batch-editing save files and vessel designs using text processing utilities. Windows Powershell should look something like (for the case when you have just uninstalled AA and didn't launch the game yet): $saves = Get-ChildItem -Recurse "C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Kerbal Space Program\saves" -include *.sfs,*.craft ForEach ($file In $saves) { $file.toString() (Get-Content $file) | Foreach-Object {$_ -replace 'SyncModuleControlSurface', 'ModuleControlSurface'} | Out-File $file } Paste this code to some file, for example aa.ps1, insert your particular path to KSP in the first line and swap SyncModule... and ModuleControl... if you are installing AA instead of uninstalling. Run powershell, go to directory where you have the script and launch it by typing ".\aa.ps1" (without quotes). If you're on Linux, I'm sure you'll cope with the task on your own. upd: and you can restrict it to only one save by specifying it in the first line, like "...\saves\MySave"

Lol never thought it would work: AIR TOWING! The Nav-1 (The SSTO in the back) weighs 113t Next replace the towed craft by an unpowered passenger glider. 100% stock

Is there a way to make control surface not reset when install or uninstall atmosphere autopilot?

I'll edit my post and put an * before the craft I really want to be reviewed. Also if you need help or want collaboration with my company check here:

Blind/Bored Aircraft Facilities is glad to open the Public Overhaul Workshop. Disclaimer: english isn't my native language (french is) be tolerant for error and weird phrasing of a sentence. I do my best. Also feel free to correct me. Our goal is to help others aircraft company by fine-tuning, repair, enhance,..., their craft. For now this thread only concern about atmospheric(KERBIN) flying vehicle excluding vtol, ssto*, flaps engine and rocket. Space shuttle and ssto are accepted but I'll only take a look at their atmospheric standalone performance, don't blame me if it loose deltaV. I prioritize submission for Kerbal Express Airlines Challenge. To be select your craft must be nearly finish in its general design, be submit in this KerbalX hangar (Public Overhaul Workshop - request) and have a post you've make on this thread that contain the information listed below. Available mod: Tweakscale, Airplane+ and KAX I work on latest version only; 1.4.3 Needed information (unit; km, m/s, m, G, kallons, metric tons(t)(1000Kg), kallons/s, funds or $): (Ignore this as long as you state clearly what you want and what I can or can not do) -General parameters with min/max/target value (if applicable); cost, mass, speed, part count(max 300 without strut, not strict), fuel, range(speed*fuel/fuel_burn_rate)(at cruise), cruise altitude, cruise speed, cruise efficiency liberty( | most_eff_fuelBR - actual_fuelBR | or | most_eff_range - actual_range | )(does it need to be the most efficient), passenger, cargo capacity(mass), take-off speed,and more. -Any other constraint like don't move wing or no clipping. Autostrut(Y/N). Mod you allow me to use from the list above. -(OR)Describe your problem and what you want me to do. -Some info about the craft, PICTURE please. (I need to know if its for Kerbal Express Airlines as passenger count change) -Make a small speech on why I should help. (That's optional; please and tank you is enough) You can see if I decide to work/am working on your craft here: Public Overhaul Workshop - WIP When job will be done I'll make a post here. You can also check here: Public Overhaul Workshop - Job done I would apprieciate to get feedback. If you post in an other thread a craft I worked on please give credit to who deserve it or for KEA challenge mention BAF POW thread. If I get enough participation I may recruit more engineers to help me. Otherwise don't usurp BAF name. I know there is no proof that I'm not a noob. Truth is, I've build a lot of aircraft I'm just too lazy to publish them all.

I have like 20 more planes to submit and I'm still building new one (flying vacuum cleaner). Picture please, link doesn't work.

What autopilot do you suggest? (that do not cause any problem when removed or added) The only thing I need is cruise control. Target altitude with max pitch and AoA and target speed (edit) AAAAAAAAA atomsphereautopilot is to good won't remove it. Non AA user gonna have to fix control surface by themselves! (Or ask me for correct config)

Some teasing for the second BAF catalog My flying carpet or magicarp or.... Is this a flying saucer? No! It's the FRISBEE Both are 100% stock

That's a problem since the Antollo and Megalovania can blow up or be uncontrollable without a correct configuration of control surface.

(BAF) Bored/Blind Aircraft Facilities airliners catalog FIRST edition Disclaimer: english isn't my native language (french is) be tolerant for error and weird phrasing of a sentence. I do my best. Also feel free to correct me. NEED ATMOSPHEREAUTOPILOT TO AVOID RESET OF CONTROL SURFACE Otherwise limit them by following this patern (for non delta wing config: rudder=yaw only, horizontal on tail and front is pitch only, wing extremity roll only, wing central none(flaps)) (for delta wing config: rudder=yaw only, horizontal front is pitch only, wing roll and pitch) For max deflection set it to fit your preference. For front and central wings flaps should deploy downward, for back wings flaps should deploy upward. Be aware of NONAAP as it mean exception(ex: to high pitch=disintegration) and will give more info. As I post a lot of craft I'll put an * before the name of craft that I really want to be reviewed. (In this post: Cotcot2, Ades1 and Stratostar) BAF is proud to present you this selection of ten aircrafts for his first commercial release. BAF isn't actually a company, it's a grouping of a multitude of small manufacturers that grow up by being an important army supplier. Fun fact BAF was originally a small local airfield, now it build rocket to be launch in space at the Kerbal Space Center. Having several manufacturers administrated individually means that they all names their product the way they wants. (RMCa) Repurposed Military Cargo aircraft previously (MCa) they had to change their guideline and name when Kerbin's government decide to stop investing in war. (SP) Sea Proof was created to design and build boat but as they never got the proper installation they ask for, their activity got limited to sea plane collaboration. (GAP) Grand Airliner Production is the newcomer. His main activity sector is obviously commercial airliners. (SU) Space Up focus on spaceplane (SSTO and space shuttle) and rover. Also build satellite, spaceship module and pieces for high speed planes. (SIC) Some Inverted Concept, they are the ones who created those weird and futuristic machine. We know they are genius but we still have a hard time to thrust them. (ETC) Explosive Tower Confirmed, well they build rocket (the flying ones).

But don't worry! Due to his popularity we keep it up-to-date with the latest in technology. In collaboration with Sea Proof engineers replaced engine by new one to allow it to land and takeoff from water(Groscot2). Again don't worry if you break propeller on water landing it can fly without them. Seats can be easily removed to match his original purpose; freight transport.

On paper it was supposed to receive a standard wing configuration but in test flight pilot report their instant combustion at cruise speed.

This plane is not covered by any guarantee if pilots didn't fly 2000 hours in dedicated flight simulator. This behemoth is not supposed to exist since the administration has not given its agreement for its construction. It's the engineers who secretly build it. (As BAF writer I wonder how they achieve to hide it) Because of this insubordination engineers are going to loose their job if they don't achieve to sell at least one. So please buy it! Can't fly with leading edge slat deploy. DON'T DEPLOY FLAPS IN FLIGHT and raise as soon as you liftoff. This plane is well suited for... ...city evacutation... ...colonization... ...invasion... As it will spend the majority of his life on the ground, it come equiped with a secret military device in the cargo bay that magically reduce maintenance cost by 50 to 75%

Not written in the OP 7.5 m Anyway a plane that big is more for lol than anything else. The 162 size 2 crew cabin mean a ludicrously high price. (5 163 127 000) Would like to have some feedback on this one.

Gonna have to build F variant for my Megalovania2 (F: seventh (third of it) deck +240 seats). E variant(first release) also have 3888 seats without cockpit. This monster is supersonic 600 m/s If you wonder what happened to Megalovania1 For more teasing Should upload and submit Friday

Or wait for the 20 planes I'm gonna upload

I'm mad, all my big aircraft(my 2 super jumbo and my mega jumbo) have the same problem; lag induced explosion. They can pull 15g turn for the 5 first minutes(from when I start the game) without problem then it start lagging and any part that get more than 4g explode aka wings, fins, flaps, airbreaks and more. Someone have an idea to counter the problem?

Just teasing my 3600 seats mega jumbo plane

There might be a more accurate way to math range. Maybe with deltaV. Reasonning: We suppose that during cruise flight the plane (1)to keep the same speed, altitude and heading (implies throttle(to keep same speed as the craft is getting ligther twr augment and drag value change(see pitch management)) and pitch management(to keep same altitude as the craft is getting ligther less lift force is needed). Or (2)from a starting speed and a constant altitude fix throttle (implies pitch mangement). Or (3)from a starting altitude constant speed fix pitch (implies throttle management). Or (4)from a starting speed and altitude fix throttle and pitch (max throttle, 0 degree pitch with angled wings is the best in my opinion). Or (5) step cruise naaaaaaaa won't get in that. so steps, flight event one time only(fix value): takeoff at full tank(-fuel), reheading(is that a word?) 180 degree turn(-fuel)(+range), landing and final approach worst scenario(-fuel)(+range) one or more time in any order(context value semi efficient): ascent(-fuel)(+range), descent(or glide)(-fuel)(+range), acceleration(-fuel)(+range), decceleration(-fuel)(+range) then with the remainning fuel minus a security % we calculate the cruise range using a mathematic expression(see below) and we add the other range. finish a possible mathematic expression or alternative: ''''going to sleep I'll add my idea tomorrow''''

Can it be switched on/off in game for testing purpose?

Is kerbal joint reinforcement allowed?

I found that the game is still playable with 221 addons loaded. Well... if you don't mind waiting 40 minutes for the game to load.
