    [WIP] R.E.L Skylon C2. Alpha Released. FAR config broken. (08 Dec 2014)

    I do think the body has some form of lifting effect. Especially when the plane(rocket) is in "cruise mode" in the atmosfere.

    I have about the same knowledge of aerodynamics and physics as you (Uni level), but it has been explained to me that even symetrical airfoils (or bodies, of course) will generate lift if you rotate them, giving them an angle of effect against the incoming wing.

    So please reconsider if you cant figure it out with other aproaches. :)

    Node connection problem

    in KSP1 Modelling and Texturing Discussion

    Posted

    So, i made a model and made a cfg file but now my node doesn't connect in any way i try. I even tried to update my partstools but it doesnt help. Maybe anyone can help me with this?

    this is my cfg file. I've "stolen" it from the s2 command pod from b9 and rewritten it so it would work for my cockpit.


    PART
    {
        // --- general parameters ---
        name = TCY_cockpit
        module = CommandPod
        author = TCY

        // --- asset parameters ---
        mesh = model.mu
        scale = 1
        rescaleFactor = 1.3

        // --- node definitions ---
        // definition format is Position X, Position Y, Position Z, Up X, Up Y, Up Z
        node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -1.2, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 2

        // --- FX definitions ---

        attachRules = 1,0,1,1,0

        minimum_drag = 0.15
        angularDrag = 2
        crashTolerance = 40
        maxTemp = 3400

        vesselType = Ship

        CrewCapacity = 2

        MODULE
        {
            name = ModuleCommand
            minimumCrew = 1
        }

        }

        MODULE
        {
            name = ModuleSAS
        }

        MODULE
        {
            name = ModuleReactionWheel

            PitchTorque = 15
            YawTorque = 15
            RollTorque = 15

            {
                name = ElectricCharge
                rate = 0.459375
            }
        }


        RESOURCE
        {
            name = MonoPropellant
            amount = 40

    Remaking some else's model

    in KSP1 Modelling and Texturing Discussion

    So, i have a bit of a standard story. Taught myself blender, unity and understanding of cfg files. I've made some assets, but my lack of texturing skills always made me burn out on a project.

    Now to the point; As some of you may have seen Notkhe made the beginnings of a great command module.

    Tonight i have been playing around some and came up with a close resemblance:

    Number 1: http://imgur.com/a8WLYcT

    Number 2: http://imgur.com/M87gls1

    So, i could go through with this, but I' not sure if I should, cuz its Notkhe's idea an all. Feels a bit like commiting high treason but i just want to play with the cockpit 'cuz it looks so cool :)

    Maybe you guys can give me some feedback.

    FusTek Station Parts Dev Thread (continuation of fusty's original work)

    in KSP1 Mod Development

    If you ever go down this road, this reminds me of a wild blue-sky idea I had a while ago: Develop a plugin that allows one part to have several possible IVAs, chosen by a tweakable. That would allow the creation of a lot of different mission modules without flooding the part menu. For another example besides surface-base variants, a very large station might want further specialization of modules, like a dorm module with 8 sleep stations, a dedicated sickbay, etc -- I'm thinking of http://www.nmstarg.com/2012/09/the-city-in-sky.html . The modular nature of the panels you're making now seem to be a good foundation for eventually doing this.

    I think that the firespitter plugin can do this already, though i am absolutly not sure. (If some does know, please corect me if im wrong :) )
