Cheesecake Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 as for the shuttle lifting capacity I can make a more powerfull booster variant if needed. will just need a cfg file to download.I have found a solution for me. I delete the ETC-Folder. Now I can transport a cargo of 12 tons to 180x180km orbit.Edit: You have linked to a .jpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesecake Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Yes, i know. Now the Boosters have a constant thrust till the solid fuel is empty. Thus they are earlier empty and i dropped them at ca. 35.000 Meters. But i had enough speed to reach an orbit of 180x180km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampa Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hey, just to let you know, I just tried the 747 tester, the 747 has a tendency to lurch to one side and veer off the runway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Alright, I tested it, looks good.So, building the B747 took me about ten minutes.It was pretty straightforward, but you may want to make a craft file for those who have trouble finding parts.Typically, the shuttle would be inclined towards the mounting. You may want to put a second attachment node there.The textures are nice, but could use a bit of shadowing, especially on the fuselage and wings. The blue color is slightly too bright, but it's good.To flight:I liked the fan animations on the engines! As said by Sampa and reese1221, it veers quite hard, and so I tore an engine off. I separated the shuttle and.. it was embedded into the 747's fuselage. You may want to pitch the shuttle up slightly more in assembly.Well.. erm..It was finally gone, but the 747's course was erratic. Then again, a whole engine is gone.Crashed into water, but the fuselage survived.All in all, the modeling and animation is very good, but the texturing and performance could do a bit of work. It's still good, though. Thanks for reading!EDIT: During the 30-minute span of time I've typed this, the 747 was updated.. I'll try testing that.

Mike-NZ Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 thanks for the post!I have yet to do:textures (as stated) I am using placeholder for nowinclined node attachmen for shuttle (rotate in SPH for now)decoupler force (maybe)and its still early stage in dev so will be buggy sorry...- - - Updated - - -...increase fan speed,higher altitude and speed (doing now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookos Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Mike, are you the reincarnation of Stachanov? Man, take a rest Hehe I was about to say the same thing.It s very impressive the amount of good work you re doing Mike. One of the few threads in development I enjoy following everyday. Plus I really like the shuttle/dreamer/ISS so it s work hours very well spent in my opinion. On top of that the 747 + shuttle is very useful for me to learn as I m trying to make my first mod ( A300 with soar shuttle) Thanks for the great work!!.
