Would be neat to see some of the new Boeing DSG hardware in this mod

So that means you can see the large JPG images saved on my desktop eh? lol

 

First thing we are going to do is a bit of cleanup. We will do an update soon that has fewer parts and craft, cutting some dead weight that accumulated in the development process. Removed parts and craft will be provided in a separate folder just in case your favourite system got the cut. This will make the hardware easier to live with in game and focus the play through sequence.

 

After that we can look at the new Boeing stuff

I have been trying to do the standard mun mission using your SLS and SLX series and i have a rather big problem with the SLS vechiles

they do not seem to be balanced well and tend to spin out of control during the gravity turn (this being both the rover altair and orion) all of the other launchers work perfectly fine tho

maybe im doing something wrong but i use the minimal orbit as you reccomended and the 60% 10 degree final turn curve on mechjeb

if needed i can provide a video or something.

Also i was wondering if you could add minimal launch orbits to all vechiles in their descriptions instead of the cards so you dont have to leave the game to check them

There was a last minute glitch with the SLS core stage that slipped through on the last update. It has to do with the older Bobcat model not having enough range on the gimbals, and our need to use fake torque to compensate. In the most recent version, this was reduced dramatically compared to previous versions because we have been able to make the hardware more stable, however for the very lightest payloads on SLS, essentially the ones you mentioned, the core stage is too powerful and overcomes the gimbals. Actually the payloads need to have more mass.

Do us a favor, drop the folder in this zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/z6qh1p8lmmm47ze/AMCS_2stage.zip?dl=0 into your CMES\Propulsion folder, replacing AMCS_2stage all files.

Reload the craft and see if you get a better result

I confirm that this patch seems to fix it

worked on orion altair and rover GC vechiles

Thought so. Glad to hear you were able to return to flight  

Included in the next update will be some adjustments to the core stage that reduce the need for a fix of that kind.

Why did you quote the entire OP-Post?

There IS a Orion-Pod in this Pack. Download it and look.

I installed the mod and there was NO ORION POD.

Looks great, as always.

Really nice mod.  Thanks for all of the work.

Cheers.

also, is there a set of manuals for the craft??  Seriously, is there someplace that has pic's of each ???

so many names in vab to open and look at, and Viktor Kermin has scratched his head so much he is going bald...  balder to be truthful.

Cheers.

Superior documentation is on the way! Mission cards and more product information cards are in the works.

It's true, the pack has become vast. The next version will receive a much needed edit process which is ongoing now. This has been put off because it is tedious work to re evaluate each part and craft, however great progress has been made.

PS: When the product card says 10km AGL to apply max retro throttle, it really does mean it.
