[1.12.x] Mk2 Expansion v1.9.1 [update 10/5/21]

VaporTrail · June 4, 2015

Ran into something that might need to be fixed. The 5-way RCS apparently has... orientation issues.

6E605F1713207F5F04DF44549EB2464E85511B7A

Instead of being oriented outboard, the thrust from the top pair of RCS thrusters is oriented inboard.

Okay, forgive me for the way off topic post, I've asked in other places and I've yet to get an answer, How do I post an album from Imgur, and make it show up like the ones on the previous page, and the first page of this thread??

No offence but I literally found this answer within 10 seconds of searching. Typing this post took a lot longer.

Sorry, I looked but missed this. Thanks for answering though.

The kerbal Space Program Forum BB code List may also be of help.

Edit: I've put up version 1.3.1 on kerbalstuff for those who want it - its basically a hotfix update, not much more, fixing the RCS transforms on the 2x5-way RCS blister and module manager patch syntax for various patches - they should work properly now. As a bonus, I've also thrown in a reworked Pluto and fishhead - just visual tweaks, nothing game changing.

seems like the newly added MK2 T-junction should contain some fuel... it's a 2 tons part... and it just look as large as the stock mk2 short fuselage which is also an 2 tons part...

ABZB · June 5, 2015

would it be possible to add RealFuels compatability to the modularfueltanks patch?

curiousepic · June 5, 2015

Weird, I'm getting the double Fuel Switch module issue yet again. This is after the updates to both Mk2Ex and CryoEngines. Last time, it seemed to resolve itself after restarting KSP, but I've tried that and it's still occurring.

Here are the relevant lines from output_log:

Are you sure that chained "HAS[!MODULE[FSfuelSwitch]]:HAS[!MODULE[interstellarFuelSwitch]]" is correct?

Is anyone else using this mod and CryoEngines *not* getting this issue?

@banksempire; I was basing mass off of the stock structural hub, which is 1.5 tons.

@ABZB;The last time I tested it, the MFT patch seemed to work with Real Fuels - remove the Fuelswitch patch.

@curiousepic; Just tried it with the newest version of Cryo Engines, and you're right. Seems the MM patch worked with the old version of CE, but not the new. This fixes that

This is probably the most weird plane I ever built. :confused:

It has exceptional yaw control!

dizzysaurus · June 6, 2015

I just wanted to say thank you for this mod, and THANK YOU for putting the date the mod was updated in the post title. That helps so, so much!

medikohl · June 7, 2015

Is it just me, or do your parts heat up more quickly and cool slower than stock?

*Aqua* · June 7, 2015

It's the DeadlyReentry/DRE config file. Delete it in the Mk2Explansion\Patches folder and you're good.

Someone forgot to script it so that it only becomes active when DeadlyReentry is installed.

It lowers the maximum heat temperatures of some parts.

Bit Fiddler · June 7, 2015

@Bit Fiddler;The picture would help.

like this but without using the Chines. Just the Mk2 body with an inset. the RCS could even be built into the body section and have it include a Reaction wheel as well. sort of an all-in-one attitude adjuster. Just for saving on parts, I would not need to use the chines in this case.

Also; there are a few Mk2 parts mods out there, and I have all of them installed that I can find, as the Mk2 is my favorite system for ssto craft. Maybe you could get together with the other authors and combine into one pack, so the textures all match, and the part count will not be so high for the redundant parts.

SuicidalInsanity · June 8, 2015

@*Aqua*;Nice! Where did you stick the landing gear on that?

@medikohl;The DRE patch was using :FOR instead of :NEEDS causing it to apply the lower max temp even if DRE wasn't installed. This was fixed in the 1.3.1 hotfix, or you can simply delete that patch like *Aqua* said.

That sounds like the Stability Control RCSAS module added in version 1.2; pitch/yaw RCS plus a reaction wheel.

*Aqua* · June 8, 2015

I put 4 adjustable landing gears at the bottom. You can see them in the second screenshot if you strain your eyes.

Yes that was my point. you could duplicate this part with the sides recessed to allow for wings on the Mk2. without using the chines.

And as a side note. do the Chines produce lift in FAR?

TomatoSoup · June 9, 2015

I really appreciate the support for Community Tech Tree, but, uh, is this intentional? http://i.imgur.com/dVw36CL.png

SuicidalInsanity · June 9, 2015

@Bit Fiddler; Chines in nuFAR will generate a little lift - the ESTOC example craft shows this off to good effect; chines will also help with nuFAR's area ruling.

@TomatoSoup; No,no it is not. Thats supposed to be in 'subsonicFlight' like the rest (Yes, these parts shouldn't technically be in with subsonic bits, but the node's position in the tech tree was what led me to use it).

TomatoSoup · June 9, 2015

Yeah, I figured as much, as it's two improvedNuclearPropulsion MM's right in the middle of a pile of subsonicFlight ones.

SuicidalInsanity · June 17, 2015
