Discreet (not just aircraft anymore) Parts. (Updated 21-06-15)

Thats why your nick is so familiar, you made the predecessor of kerbal foundries (the track part)...my head ached from thinking about it...^^

The turboprops need to be stowed countered agains each other, maybe in a longer fuselage:

Yeah me sucks, but i think you see what i try to say.

It is so annoying not to know how to express oneself sometimes...^^

Yes, I started the first versions of the caterpillar tracks (with help from EndlessWaves) way back when.

I have some ideas on getting the turboprops to pack up nice and small, but for the sake of not being overpowered, they'll sacrifice some thrust or efficiency.

[Tyren]

Personally i am fine with that, small engines cant pack massive punch. Anyway, i am looking forward to it.

Dang, You have any idea how long I've wanted something like this? Top hole old chap

[Lvdovicvs]

Those wings are si awesome. Cant wait to build some air launched missiles or cruise missiles. Perfect

[Tyren]

Id rather build spaceplanes whom fit in a reasonable large fairing, cruise missiles with extending winglets already exist in BDA.

However, I installed Blender right now and try to get a hunch of modeling

[electronicfox]

Whatever you use if for is up to you

Personally I just wanna make it easier to fit aircraft atop a rocket.

[PB666]

There should be a retractable/telescoping mount(s) of some kind in stock game. I'm kind of remineded of Zephram cochrane's warp rocket in First Contact.

Hey electronicfox, maybe you would be interested in adding retactable rocket engines (2.5m maybe 3.75m) as well?

KSP lacks inline retractable engines, i.e. for this:

Yes I will be making retractable rocket engines also, but in the meantime something very similar exists (for small engines anyway)

Wings are now textured, and 100% working.

[Tyren]

And now the funny part.

[cy-one]

Those wings look awesome. I figure you're also going to do a tail-segment for more steering capabilities?

If so, is there a chance you'll do a conic one (for a junior docking port)? that way we retain "dockability" and still have a more aerodynamic-looking shape

I plan to make surface-mountable retracting winglets for extra controls. Since they will basically clip into whatever part theyre mounted on, the tradeoff will be either their lift potential or weight. I think their weight would be better.

You could use Bahamutos BDynamics. Dont know if they're 1.0.x compatible though

So I've been working on the first engines design, In this version they lose the propeller shielding in favour of longer blades, and now they properly line up with each other (for you neat-freaks out there).

[Tyren]

Me thinks there should be a small engine housing at the rotor axis, just big enough to get the electrical engine in.

Or you could use the stockings of one female kerbal as translator band...

I'm having this belt-driven. There just isnt room for a sufficient motor in the assembly. I'll probably add another part to allow the belt to drive from the central part of the model.

;D Concerning those winglets: is it possible to not allow them to attach to fuel tanks? Except for being slightly heavier, this would be a got strain on building spacecraft. Fueselages --> good ---> fuel tanks bad.

Unfortunately I can't do that. The winglets I have in mind though will only be tiny things, offering very small amounts of control.

[Tyren]

ok. Well yeah why not, thats kerbalike par excellence, parts moving into the fuel reservoir. Wheeee

- - - Updated - - -

WIll they have control surfaces or will they be control surfaces themself?

They will have small control surfaces.

[Tyren]

Hrmpf cant add to your rep by now. <.<

So i will sit back, clicker around at my own model and wait patiently for your reveal of your work progress.

[Mecripp]

When do we start getting this great parts

[electronicfox]

When do we start getting this great parts

Most likely sometime this week (dont take that as a guarantee), when the engine is finished. I will be releasing the three prototype parts.
