77 Industries Presents: Porsche 911

Not (yet) powered by a flat 6 but with my turboshaft engines: my 77I-Porsche 911 from 1965. It's got suspension, you have a form of brakes, it steers and you can change direction. Fast? No. Large and heavy. I wanted to build a turboshaft vehicle but as long the smallest jet engine is 62.5 cm after using Tweakscale, you end up with a big baby.

I recommend disabling the smoke effects of the basic jet engine. They're unrealistic anyway.

Comments, ideas ... I'm all ears. Want more power and speed? Yeah, that can be arranged. But first try to drive this one like it is ...

Required mods:

Tweakscale

Infernal Robotics

Procedural Parts

Procedural Parts Extended

Not bad man.

If I sound a little underwhelmed its only because I know that using those mods its possible to make any shape you want.

I like the fact its driven by a turbine though! That's awesome.

I could've used B9's procedural wings but ... A: it's not finished nor stable, B: it's got size restrictions (yeah wings & tweakscale have them too, but it builds faster!)

In my case just using the old wing parts seemed like the best solution ... for now.

I do like it.

You could clean up the lines a little with the gizmos. just to smooth it over a little.

Yes, cleaning lines ... actually I do that often. Too bad the editor is a bit insensitive. Or is there a modifier key for easier rotation/offset?

On the scale of your car it should be possible to line the panels up cleanly. You just have to fight the gizmos a little.

I'll try changing the settings on my mouse first. When I want to change the angle of panels with 0.5 degrees, instead it jumps with 5. Horrible.

Hmm.. With all angle snapping off it should give you the ability to smoothly adjust angles. I too find I am limited by my mouse movement. As long as you are patient with it you can line things up exactly.

[Azimech]

It should indeed ... I almost forgot what angle snap is ... it snaps enough even when off!

Personally I've never been a big fan of Porsches but never the less it's awsome to see it in ksp good job!

1.1 update: included fuel tanks in the front of the car for better mass distribution. Fixed a tweakscale bug, increased engine power, changed head lights a bit, changed the wheels so they withstand higher impacts.

Based on the same chassis I decided I wanted a cheap looking 1970's fantasy gas guzzler. Here it is: El Tonto.
