    i dont think this thread is dead yet, so ill post. what modular parts do you plan to include? modular wing parts? modular engine? adaptors? i want to know what awesome ships ill be able to build with this awesome mod

    You are correct, the thread is not dead!!! Well... I plan to include in the "modular parts": Body parts, cargo bays, intakes, wings, control surfaces, adapters... I'm also planning cockpits(but I still need to learn how to create the internals...).

    P.S.: Don't worry, sometimes I disappear because I like to make surprises. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    UPGRADES!!!

    This upgrade focus on my VTOL system. From now on all engines will generate, such as the reals, both cold and hot air. The idea is to improve the realism and give some more options. Either, is possible to operate VTOLs on EVE with the OCTAGON SUPER CHARGER and the OCTAGON COLD AIR NOZZLE. Also, the new version of "TWISTER" gives you the ability to have thrust any where of the ship/plane. And the last, the next upgrade will include some Octagon Corporation personalized Fuselage systems and the corporation intends to increase the quality of the textures.

    Some pictures:

    v2.0(01/15/2014)add:

    Resource Hot Air;

    Resource Cold Air;

    Resource ATM;

    Octagon Twister Mk.2;

    Octagon Hot Air Nozzle;

    Octagon Cold Air Nozzle;

    Octagon Super Charger;

    Octagon Radial Cold Air Tank;

    modify;

    All Engines now generate Hot/Cold Air;

    All Fuel tanks can store a small amount of Cold Air;

    P.S.: Boamare :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Just got the new update off spaceport, can you tell me what the twister mk 2 and the turbocharger are supposed to do? They both only have 1kn of thrust

    I'm sorry for this, I hadn't updated the corporations thread yet. Twister Mk.2 generates Hot/Cold Air with great efficiency, So you can have, in the same plane, separated systems for both high and low performance. The turbocharger main function is to increase the amount of AirIntake/ATM/Cold Air generated per second. Also, it makes possible to run engines at high altitude, or at Layth, since it increases the amount of air provided to the engines. The reason why they have only 1kN is because they use an "engine module" to work.:D:D:D

    P.S.: When I first uploaded the upgraded, I was a little busy, I intend to upgrade the thread soon.

    Great mod so far! I built a quick VTOL jet fighter, The Cyclonus (I like Transformers), to test your stuff, to great effect!(...)

    (...)But otherwise I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!

    Thank you, I'll keep improving it. In fact, I spect to add at least 10 more pieces in one and a half week!!!

    One small idea for the Cyclone engine, Tweakable for starting in VTOL Mode. :D

    Well... I tried it, but it seems that there is no tweakables for animations yet...

    P.S.: Can I add does videos at the first page? To show others this parts being used?

    I'm proud to say that this MOD is no longer a BETA, this is the 1.0 version;

    v1.0(01/02/2014)add:

    Octagon Wind Storm Ramjet;

    modify;

    Octagon Centrifugal Engine, thrust set to 50kN;

    Octagon Hurricane, isp. reduced to prevent it from working when there is no more "air-intake" left;

    Octagon 1/2 Stadard Fuel Tank, nodes coordinates correction;

    Octagon Standard Fuel Tank, nodes coordinates correction;

    Octagon Large Fuel Tank, nodes coordinates correction;

    It includes an engine the was under development, the Wind Storm Ramjet:

    No problem ;)

    I love your vtol engines, My first test with it made a successful vtol :D

    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D So, I guess you will like to know that the F-35 VTOL system will be in a future update!!!

    Edit: You edited your comment when I was typing my lol.

    Edit 2: In fact, I'm planning to add a lot of famous VTOL systems such this:

    OK had a little play around with your engines, i've found that the one in the picture below only Flame-outs at 39km+, It's pretty crazy (also the intake air says 0.00 but it still works). But other than that Awesome pack :D

    Well, about the "Hurricane", I have some hypotheses of what may be causing this:

    1-It's less powerfull than the Turbo Fan(190kN Vs.225kN) where I based it, so it uses less resources;

    2-It has it's maximum isp value at a higher altitude;

    3-In this particular case(picture), you are using the "Octagon Pointy Circular Intake" that has 20% more area than the "Ram Air Intake".

    I guess, all this, together, are creating this strange behavior. I'm trying to solve this by redusing its isp. at 0.1(atmospherical pressure) from 3000 to 2500. I'm a bit reluctant of increasing its power, because it appears to be unrealistic(190kN already is in my opinion). I'll keep hunting this bugs, I guess the "1.0" version can be uploaded tomorrow.

    Thank you for your testing report, it will help a lot:)

    We are back.

    The corporation is reopened. We expended the last months improving our technical skills, the results you will see below. At this moment, Octagon Corporation will focus on atmospherical devices. Although, in the past, we constructed rockets, we will now "begin" the "serious" job. For this, we have our first pack: The Octagon Corporation Pack. It includes, for now, 10 new parts between engines and scientific sensors. This number, of course, will increase. For now we have a "BETA" test at your disposal:

    Some images for your contemplation:

    What can I say?

    Grammar fix mode ON

    This is, unquestionably, a far superior spaceplane compared to its counterparts. The undisputed evidence is that it has, until now, nearly half of the votes. Regardless, it will be an interesting competition, since all the others have incontestable qualities.

    Grammar fix mode OFF

    :D:D:D:D:D:D

    Thank you, KvickFlygarn, for your attention and grammar interference. It was, anyway, a joke, it was not my intention to offend anybody.
