Mike-NZ Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Yea, Mike you should make that launch pad a "static" as they are called in Kerbal Konstructs. It would be very easy to place anywhere at the KSC. I've made a couple Mercury and Gemini statics and added them to my KSC. I also got a few amazing looking statics from ChrisPbacon. I would love a shuttle launch pad to add to my collection of KK statics.Yes it is pretty cool isnt it. This mod is certianly getting bigger. Or has done over the past few weeks anyway.I will look into making it static. Have not done that before.Also texturing it will be a big undertaking. I want to release 1.7 first tho...

I want to release 1.7 first tho...Totally understandable. I would suggest you just do a quick read-through on the Kerbal Konstructs forum page. It's not too complicated. Of course focus on 1.7 first, but whenever you feel like doing more with the launch pad, the KK forum page will help you. Really appreciate everything you've done the last few weeks! It's incredible.

Jovzin Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 and im guessing this is a bit much.....http://i.imgur.com/q0LtNLH.jpgWhere did you get this, from DECQ? I doubt you had time to model it. It is really big and detailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-NZ Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Where did you get this, from DECQ? I doubt you had time to model it. It is really big and detailed.No I didn't get it from DECQ. Although he did give me the parts and the textures that was meant to be for the origional css.How is the new model coming along? I will get the landing gear to you when I can.

DECQ Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Now I have a little time, and I totally give it to Buran. But I will have more time, I will try to alter the texture (greater resolution), and some did on the Space Shuttle (Light in the fuselage,hatch animation, etc.). This is the only example, recently I did.P.S. This is a working version, unfinished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hieywiey Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I don't exactly understand how a lot of plugin stuff works, but could you make the pad a KerbalKonstructs launch site? Also, does the pad part generate fuel, electricity, and/or have launch clamp functionality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyren Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 If you make it a KK item, it wont provide resources. If you use it like a normal launch clamp it can be config'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kartoffelkuchen Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Jozvin, you can not abandon your incredible work. That would be, stupid...Though you have to say that Mike-NZ is basically doing everything Jozvin planned for the new version, or, to put it in another way, Jozvin only made a new model because there were important errors in the old model, and now Mike-NZ is working on exactly those things and more. So his question if he shall continue is absolutely right. Guys, please actually talk with each other, you really should get clear who is working on what aspect. Mike seems to work on everything, but he ignores the fact that Jozvin is working on a heavily optimised version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daedaelus Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I dont really see why it matters how many people make a space shuttle. If you have fun doing it then go for it, everyone has their unique styles there is more than one proton, more than one soyuz and so many apollo style capsules i have lost count. Everyone has their own ideas and own ways of doing things. Some people go for direct simulation/realism and some go for more stock-like or easy to use. If you want some new ideas maybe go for some proof of concept addons to your version. The shuttle program was canceled but they had a lot of plans for the future if the program continued. You could even move into fantasy or sci-fi such as the X-71 from amageddon http://orig06.deviantart.net/5557/f/2014/143/b/8/x_71_military_shuttle_ortho_by_unusualsuspex-d7760ju.jpg or the new X-37B http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app4/x-37b.jpg its entirely up to your imagination and what is FUN for you to do. Im sure if it is good looking and works someone out there will enjoy it and that all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is with textures, to make better texture is not difficult. But I think it is not necessary to abandon the new shuttle for the reason that they will be engaged Dragon01.

But I think it is not necessary to abandon the new shuttle for the reason that they will be engaged Dragon01.Honestly I will believe that when I see it. I know dragon has his qualms with these forums but little to no work has been done by dragon in months. I am fully aware he is not obligated to. Don't misconstrue my tone with arrogance or entitlement. It's just this project has taken so long to revive because of dragon. Because of delays, because of dragons relationship with the moderators and the ksp community. I guess what I am saying is that you shouldn't abandon your projects because they are too beautiful hiwever there are better modders and coders in the community and if you are waiting for dragon it's probably not gonna happen.
