  1. Not the tower, the crawler under the launchpad. Or is that a static prop?
  2. Where did you get or how did you build that crawler? @TruthfulGnome
  3. @CobaltWolf @Zorg @Invaderchaos I can confirm, that the boosters fly towards the core. There's like no separation power at all in the decoupler either. The boosters will detach, move away for about a few inches before flying right back to the core. I even tested this with the SAF fairings to see if the problem was the nose cones. It is not. It's either weird aerodynamics on the Saturn IE tanks or the decoupler itself has a problem, I don't know. Test vehicle was a Saturn Multi-body with 4 booster instead of 2. 2 boosters had nose cones the other 2 had fairings. I also shut off the engines during stage sep. Edit: Upon a second test, the boosters didn't fly away this time. They just flew into the core. There's some force pushing them to the core at stage sep.
  4. Persistent Thrust was confirmed in the latest show and tell. Not sure about rotation. Though, if one is allowed, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume the other is allowed as well.
  5. International Skylab is complete... for phase 1. It has been decided that I-Skylab will be expanded further. The 25kw power tower initially designed for the standalone Skylab B will be installed and used. Salyut 7 will also be detached and deorbited, replaced by a permanent module. Salyut 7 was built as a temporary station in the first place, so having something more permanent in nature would benefit both the station and the astronauts on board.
  6. There are two nodes inside the Apollo engine plate, one for the engine, one for the SLA. Make sure the engine's orange plate is outside of the engine plate, then attach the SLA to the node hidden inside.
  7. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet Using a modified Centaur, the International Skylab Docking Adapter is delivered to the I-Skylab. Next up, the Russians will launch the repurposed and modified Salyut 7.
  8. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet International Skylab launched without any of the woes of its older sister. Btw: @CobaltWolf @Zorg @Invaderchaos Got a bug report I've been forgetting to report. The Apollo hydrogen/oxygen fuel cell still consumes mono prop instead of the H/O.
  9. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet You thought it was Apollo Soyuz, but tis I! Apollo Mir! Meme's aside, I liked the idea of Apollo visiting Mir, so I did it. Also, holy hell this launch vehicle is powerful! It got up to 5+ Gs. 5 Gs!!! If I had a life support mod or kerbal death mod installed, I'm sure they would be soup!
  10. @Beale I'm getting a few errors and glitches when using the Priroda radar. Firstly, when I right click on it, the menu comes up, but it's glitched: When that happens, the log is flooded with this message: Full log here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l3xjjs8ji17gfcw/KSP.log?dl=0 I tried taking a look at the config file to see if I could spot anything wrong, and the only thing that sticks out to me is that you left 'activeAnimationName' blank. Not sure if that would cause any problems or not. Oh, and after the glitch above with the right click menu happens, it disables the right click menu entirely, I have to back out of the VAB and go back in.
  11. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet Delta V (Delta 7M (KSP 4.XXXM) CBC) Heavy putting a 15 ton payload into a 125 x 125 km 51.64 degree orbit with tons of Delta-V left. Also, the tanks on the CBCs are a little short. The CBCs are supposed to be the same length as the Delta IV CBCs, they are not. Opss. @CobaltWolf I think the Saturn decoupler needs some work done. When it decouples, the bottom has more force than the top and so the nose runs into the core. And yes, I know the sep motors exist, but I still think the decoupler should be looked at.
  12. There wasn't a node hidden that I could tell, the engine just kept phasing through. I'll check again after I get the latest commit. Yeah, I thought I had downloaded it, but I guess I didn't. Edit: Okay, the node is back after I've downloaded the latest commit, weird. But I did forget to download the latest commit for the A2 buff, so my bad on that part.
  13. Oh, I think I know what's going on. I think I forgot to get the updated buff upper stage engines patch, so it's set to 291 instead of 3 to 4XX.
  14. The A-2 has like 260 thrust when the regular J2 has like 360. The A-2 is drastically under powered then. As for Juno V, yes, I was sure. I didn't have a node.
  15. Full Album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet Soyuz styled Delta III. This thing can get moving, reaching 3+ Gs. I had no payload, but it got into a 125 x 125 km 51.64 degree orbit just fine with like 2 to 3,000 M/S still in the tank.
  16. @CobaltWolf @Zorg Question: Is the J-2 A-2 supposed to be lower thrust than the J-2? It says it is a higher performance J-2, so I'm wondering if that just means ISP/Efficiency performance, or you forgot to increase the thrust performance as well. Also, the Saturn IB x5 Juno V engine plate is missing a node for the middle engine.
  17. A silly little project I did which has skylab and all three conceptual stations in one. Mercury Lab, MOL, Skylab, S-II wetlab. It didn't make orbit, but it got high enough I was able to get these pics.
