Mike-NZ Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Just tr to deploy it right before you touchdown, funny things will happen. Your crew will be unharmed though, this Shuttle is pretty tough.Yup it has been adjusted and will upload a improved maneuverability patch soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeast Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Yup it has been adjusted and will upload a improved maneuverability patch soonAs you are still updating, maybe its best that I send the configs with updated aero to you and you very carefully merge the stuff?- - - Updated - - -UFC completed.

Jeast Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Here you go Mike.https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ALRjYUGKH7VVk5ZVdicXg0Zk0/view?usp=sharingMind you that these are based on the 1.5 version. So you have to carefully copy the stuff over.Should be pretty easy though. Copy and replace everything from Mass down to the end of the Lifting/Control module.

Mike-NZ Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 yup no worries I will pm you the changed cfg's so you can see the merge.the tail will be tricky due to the remodified parachute.we will see.thank you so much again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeast Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ok Ill test it thpuroughly before you can put it up. Please let me know if the parts used in my craft file are still valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-NZ Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 I see you made separate folders for the crew cabins or renamed it. I had to change directory in the cfg back to CSSCrewSectionalso please compare our cfg's as things like generator, thrust power, texture switch ect are coded wrong or missing in my old version that you haveoh and how do I recalculate for engine mount having less oms fuel.mine 1800 yours 2200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeast Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Shouldnt be a problem. Empty they should weigh the same and thats when you need the right CoM- - - Updated - - -You can change all those things. Just copy everything down from mass to the lifting modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-NZ Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 well done.it feels heavier, I should say it feels like it actually has weight nowthe control surfaces are rather high drag but I guess that is important to get it to work rightand if your too slow the nose drops and its all over hahalet me just sort this airbrake and parachute and I will give you the combined workmaybe you can tune it a bit for me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeast Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Sure thing! I am really happy how it flies now on stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-NZ Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 also the rcs problem was unity changing my partnames around.

Mike-NZ Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hyperedit it up to 2000 metres and nose dive it then fly it around and land. I havent done reentry yet. It's good. No more infiniglide. You miss the runway youre screwed haha.It's good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-NZ Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 I got the chute drag lowered a lot. I had to drop its drag from 170 to something like 0.1 this games physics is strangeit pulls like 5 g at the moment. but it doesn't flip the orbiter over or anythingbit much?also the airbrake works unlike the last one lol just adjusting drag.- - - Updated - - -and it drops off at low speed like the real orbiter too. once it does that then you apply the brakes- - - Updated - - -would we like an animation of small flaps opening in the base of the tail to let out the chute?

Tyren Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Well, the parachute is staged, right? Why not have a physicsless casing at the lower rear of the stabilizer which decouples (and explodes on the runwsy gnihi) triggered through staging?Maybe it is even possible to have ot look like the casings pulls out the chute...thats more or less even realistic.- - - Updated - - -But that is maybe a bit too much of work, dunno (yet).

Mike-NZ Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 im just modifying it so it doesn't just slow all of a sudden. more gradual slow down... at a good speed- - - Updated - - -one last race up the dragstrip (runway) and deploy then I post- - - Updated - - -also try the airbrake. get a steady glidespeed then hit the brakes. also the chute is staging and can be actiongroup I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
