**Known Issues/Notes**

  • Parts may be slightly imbalanced, still working to get that perfect. Let me know in the comments if they should be tweaked!

  • If you have B9 procedural wings but not the main B9 Aerospace mod the Thunderbolt cockpit internal will look incomplete. If you wish to use the B9 props they are provided in the Extras folder.

  • K-10 cockpit does not yet have an IVA.

Future Plans/Ambitions:

  • Mk2 Engine Line (VTOL Rapier, rocket)

  • Moar cockpits.

  • Might redo the Thunderbolt IVA in the future..

My other mods:

-QuizTech

(Shout-out to user Tidus Klein for the inspiration!)

Any suggestions on what to make next are welcome!:D

Also be sure to let me know in the comments if there are any issues or weirdness that can be resolved.

If you feel like giving a donation to the project you are welcome to, but I will always keep the pack free for all! Creating new content takes a lot of time, which is precious for a lowly college student such as myself :) .

**Note that any donations made do not entitle any persons to extra or early content, nor any further commitment or expectations on my part other than the free time that I choose to spend on the project. Thanks!

Dude- you have talent. The only thing I could suggest for some of these would be adding Hotrocket emissives to these parts.

I LOVE THEM- and look forward to seeing the FAR and Hotrocket updates.

Thanks, glad you like them :) I don't know much about FAR but I'll implement it as soon as I figure it out! And yup, HotRockets too.

Awesome!

(And just to let you know, I cannot make decent VTOL/STOL aircraft to save my life. They either do somersaults when changing from VTOL to Normal flight, or they experience... Unusual cataclysmic structural failures due to FAR.)

Neat parts! I was wondering, though - is the RCS Jet missing a PROPELLANT {} thing? I see one for intakeAir, but I don't see one for liquid fuel (I assume); could be I just don't know how the configs work though.

Well, on actual VTOL jets such as the harrier (and maybe the F-35) those ports work by venting air from the main compressor, so it shouldn't consume fuel.

Where do you think the compressor is getting its energy? It ain't Kerbals pushing their heads against ladders, that's for sure. :)

To be fair, the thrusters probably don't take much fuel when compared to the main engine.

The main Compressor is part of the main jet turbine, so why would bleed air from it use any extra fuel compared to the regular flight??

In fact the bleed air is actually needed and somewhat wasted by most jet turbines to ensure smooth airflow within the turbine....

The compressor and fans are turned by the turbine, which is powered by combustion. I suppose you are right in that no extra work needs to be done to supply that air, though I guess a maximally realistic compressed-air jet system would require that a jet engine must be activated to have the thrusters work. That said, leaving it alone would probably not be the biggest concession to reality ever made in KSP. :)

Yep, that is what I based it off of :) Diverted air wouldn't take any extra electricity.

Dude I love you! This is exactly what i was looking for from a long time!

By the way, if you want the perfect stabilization use this mod:

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/107802

it automatically adjust the engine thrust, so the center of thrust is always aligned with the center of mass. Just like the F35.

Haha thanks lol

Yeah I've seen that one before, and I'll probably add it to the main post as a recommended mod :)

One concern there is that the IVA (whilst gorgeous) uses B9 as a dependency - one of the appeals of this over BahmutoD's cockpit is that it plugs neatly into a stockalike install. Any chance of an IVA just using stock and basic RPM props?

I have been thinking about that too and yes, I think I will write a MM config and set up a stock/RPM option as well. The B9 props are so pretty and I love using them, so I will keep it as an alternate for those who use B9 :) Just gotta find time this week to do it haha.

This looks really promising, these pieces will be key to some fighters :P

Any tease on that mk1 fighter cockpit??

I don't have official plans for a Mk1 cockpit at the moment, but I'll maybe consider it once I get the Mk1 vtol parts fleshed out :) The Mk1 fan section is next on my list, as the jet is now finished and will be included in the next update along with the Mk2 cockpit.
