War Eagle 1

[quote name='andrew123']Where's the Spectre then? :)[/QUOTE] Lol I just liked the name and it was the song I was listening to when i was making it. the design is more based off an Ace combat aircraft

where is your 1.0.5 version of Mig-31 I want to test it against my latest project Callsign Skyfall

Zeke what did i tell you about trying to break you computer

[quote name='zolotiyeruki']I tried that (putting a docking port above the middle), but I couldn't get it to dock back up. The way I eventually did it (see below) was to extend the rover's landing legs while in the bay, and that held it in place quite well on the way home. Speaking of which: [url]http://imgur.com/a/zpBbs[/url] 13 tons and change.[/QUOTE] Not bad. I ll add your name to the front page when I get the chance

[quote name='BlueCanary']I did this lots in 1.0.2, my record is dropping a full big red with wheels out of the back of a plane at 33m/s, which was scary to say the least. I'll update this with the album when I'm not on my phone, and I'll try to do a 1.0.5 entry too. Edit: wait, in your example the payload is decending vertically under the chutes. I thought LAPES meant the load was dropped a couple of metres off the ground and the parachutes decelerated it as it slid across the ground, not when it was in the air?[/QUOTE] I just called it LAPES to give it a good challenge name. You don't have to do a true LAPES but don't be airdroping rovers from space either [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] [quote name='zolotiyeruki']I was working on this last night. I think it's definitely possible using stock parts, but it's not easy. I got everything perfect until I was on my way back to KSC. The load was loose in the cargo bay and shifted too far back, pulling my CoM behind my CoL. And when I loaded the quicksave, it broke some of the wheels on the rover (which was in the cargo bay when I quick saved). I'm going to try again tonight. Part of the challenge is that if you have a heavy rover and you dock it in the cargo bay, it becomes part of the mothership, and its weight can make it hang down and clip through the fuselage. So I've been trying to return it to the KSC while sitting (unconnected) inside the cargo bay.[/QUOTE] The way I did it was docking ports on the cargo bay and then having a docking port on the underside of the rover in the exact middle of the rover and having the rovers COM as close to the middle of the rover as possible. When done right the rover won't clip through

[quote name='Wanderfound']Did you re-dock that rover to the cargo aircraft for the return trip, or can you get away with just having it sitting loose in the cargo bay these days?[/QUOTE] I redocked. If you can get them back without docking and they stay intact in the cargo bay then be my guest and more power to ya.

rules slightly updated to allow for more availability

computer fryer guarantied or get your download back

Well the idea is to keep over powered wheels for being used on the rovers to But that said I ll at least make the plane and allow mods

partcount?

Is anyone going to try this challenge?

I made a shuttle capable of carrying a wet big orange into a 200k orbit without breaking a sweat. In this case though it carried up a quick easy to build space station

I ll give that a try when I can thanks

For years militaries have used cargo craft to airdrop vehicles and supplies to their forces. Now in KSP we finally can recreate this. For this challenge you will create a cargo craft and rover designed to be airdropped from low altitudes by said cargo craft. Rules. 1. Make a cargo craft. Mods allowed but MK3 cargo bay and ramp are needed. 2. Make a rover that can fit into the cargo bay and get out via cargo ramp. Mods allowed but wheels must me stock (kerbal foundaries wheels are too powerful) 3. Fly the cargo craft to the island runway and drop the rover out the back. 4. Land the cargo craft. 5. Reload the rover into the cargo craft. 6. Fly back to KSC and unload the rover. 7. Pics (or video) or it didn't happen These rules are what must be completed to have the challenge completed How to win. To win you add up the total weight of the cargo before airdrop. For example, in my take, my airdrop rover weighted up to 10.2 tons. Round to the nearest whole number, so for me it will be 10 tons. For multiple vehicles add the total number of tons for pre drop rover and add that to .5 times the total weight of one rover. For example I had two rovers in my turn so thats 20 tons then when i add 10x.5=5 so my total point range is 25 points. After the drop the vehicle that returns to the cargo aircraft can weigh no less than 2 tons its original weight. So because my rover weighted 10 tons pre drop then i ditched its airdrop sled it weighted 8.32 rounded to 8 tons. Apon return to KSC the rover(s) must still be drivable. Example: My attempt NOTE* you do not have to do an actual LAPES you just have to air drop it. I needed a name for the challenge and thats what I choose _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Current Standings 1. War Eagle 1: 25 points 2. zolotiyeruki: 13 points

Done and done yet it gets more role than yaw. Like i ll move one degree in a yaw while at the same time I barrel role

I have finally made a shuttle that I consider worthy of my expectations with one exception. when I yaw instead it roles. It got to the point i just disabled the tails yaw ability. I ll leave the craft file here but keep in mind it is still not perfect but much better than what I have done in the past and much easier to fly than most other peoples shuttle designs. feel free to test it and let me know what I can do to fix this issue/make it better. has action groups has some clipping so check its insides to see everything http://www./download/h946bwefvz50n44/Space_Shuttle_%28Lift_Stage%29.craft image for show

I think I'm the first person here to make a Space Shuttle (let me know if I'm wrong) Still needs some test on landing but so far it has worked flawlessly and able to get a wet big orange into a 200k orbit without breaking a sweat

I don't see many people posting Cargo Crafts or private jets so here is a couple PGC-120 Starlifter Able to lift 21 tons of cargo (maybe more) In test I have airdropped two combat jeeps (jeeps not included) http://www./download/aw3kz43i481dyya/PGC-120_Starlifter.craft PG-400 Eclipse Whether you are on business or having a party in the sky, always travel in style. http://www./download/pqjznxpm444vc83/PG-400_Eclipse.craft

Sorry I missed it. are you still planing on waiting til 1.1 to release wingman even though 1.1 is ETA unknown?

I was trying to build a military sub (like the typhoon class) capable of launching cruise missiles but nothing has been successful

is any one not going to question what the Briefcase of Doom is?

Im still testing. Plus I normally don't share unless asked
