Mike-NZ Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Awesome! First re-entry with the new patch was a beautiful success. I love the new gliding abilities! Great job. I'll keep that cfg forever Most fun I had in a while in KSP. I didn't notice any changes about orbit maneuvering though.. something has changed there? I like it as it is by the way. However compared to any other stock vessel I have to chase the maneuver target much more with the shuttle. How come? It's not burning straight ahead?good to know it was a successful edit!thanks for reminding me of the issue.I did not change the orbit maneuvering. I don't know if I need to change reaction control torque or the rcs thruster power?let me know.also the oms engines are thrusting above the centre of mass so it will try to spin the orbiter around. its just how it is designed...

olivertk Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 yes it is. its because I overworked it during development to work out other issues.is it rcs or reaction wheel power that you want less?the reaction wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nookos Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I actually like the way it is right now. I wouldn't change reaction wheel torque or thruster power. It s fine the way it is and I could do with less or more so no strong opinion for me.About the oms engines that s good to know.. It explains why the maneuver node targets always shoots up. Trim -12 in Y almost solves the issue completely. This is very enjoyable to fly both in space and in atmosphere now. Thanks again for the great work!

Mike-NZ Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 thank you nookos. the reaction wheel is unrealistic but if people want it then I can leave it in? I will see what others think also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampa Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Mike, i don't know,about you, but i actually like the,flying brick feel,that the shuttle really is.- - - Updated - - -Hey, reese...here's an idea.

Mike-NZ Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 haha nailed it. far is working. and the shuttle is a bit more detailed now too...I removed ALL stock aero values, trusting it all to FAR so it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-NZ Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Ok... so I have a FAR release tonight. Wooo! After using FAR, I can see the problems you far users have gone through and so now understand the issues.This new release will be a seperate download that will virtually be the Realism Overhaul version. as FAR is part of RO anyway. It will have model changes to work with far.So the versions to choose from and download will be:Stock (one piece)Stock with FAR (modified orbiter)RO with FAR (modified orbiter)And so this will mean you wont have to install any MM patches. Configs will be changed to suit.refer this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigshow281 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Just downloaded the FAR version and I'm having trouble assembling the shuttle. It appears that the right attachment nodes for the right landing gear and right CSS control surface are broken, it will not allow me to attach anything to those nodes. No problem with the left landing gear and left control surface. Not sure if this problem is present in the non-FAR version, but I'll test that out shortly.

No problem with the left landing gear and left control surface. Not sure if this problem is present in the non-FAR version, but I'll test that out shortly.Yes its not releaseable yet and don't recomend using it unless you wish to help develop it. So im looking for suggested config changes rather than bugs rught now.It will take some explaining for users to understand.Like this is an entirely different model. The one piece must be deleted.Has different partsThe state its in now was how I left it last night. Part changes include:Seperated wingsNew cargobayNode changes to whings and wheelsNo stock aero.Its tricky to make it work and be user friendly. Especially when it will change alot dailySorry for the hassle. Ir will soon be an easy to download and install pack- - - Updated - - -it works fine in the non-far version...That will be untouched and be non related for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
