Not sure how you two have your landing legs configured, but you might want to play around with this if they're partially or fully clipped into another part.

Nope not clipped at all. It is a known issue that will be fixed in version 1.2 hopefully! Thanks for testing though man.

I think my fuel flow logic has achieved sapience and is now reprogramming itself.

Lol! Yeah it's a tricky setup to get flow right huh. All engines run out at the same time?

I have resigned myself to releasing this after 1.2. That gives me time to not feel rushed, do the things that are left to do right and make sure there are no issues with wheels and legs. At the moment all the wheels on the SPR explode during fairing separation on EDL. Ans sometimes the ones from the FSPS too which causes further issues. At least I know its a game bug and not a design issue. :)

 I am doing some EDL tests now that may help but I don't want to take the risk of releasing a pack into a bugged game environment.

Hi! I'm not going to participate because I suck at building nice things, but here's this for you guys:

Enjoy!

Don't worry about that mate, to make a full constellation pack with every craft working together and looking good is probably the hardest thing to do in this game. It takes so much time and skill that only one or two people have done it so far.

 The sheer amount of testing alone is enough to put people off.

 You can choose to make just one or two of the craft though, you will get better at building and learn a lot about the game in the process. Or you could make more awesome flags! I like the one you posted.

My new cargo lander and a new srp (sev)

Some pics:

still needs testin...blah. blah. blah. you know the drill.

MTV got deleted, the reason why I did that is because i hated it. it looked rushed. working on a new one now, but its annoying.

HAB lander is only a frame. its goning to be easy to build this one tho .less center of trust tweaking (I hope )

 

Also I did a constellation moon mission.

sadley, I forgot to take some pics but all systems were good.

 

how about the looks, do you guys like it or is it too "simple" ?

It's looking great so far man. Do as little or as much detail as you like! I was going to use that tube pod for my SPR too but it was too heavy and unbalanced my lander.

 Did you fly a descent in that picture of HE onto the surface? I am having wheel popping issues when I stage my faring and the chutes open. Working around it but knowing it will be fixed in 1.2 makes me not want to have to. Eugh...

i used Hyper edit to get it on the surface of duna. its too unstable to land it yet. as for the bug/glitch, I never had any issues with my faring or chutes.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the DAV to seperate properly?  

I have the same problem. 1 out 3 seperations work.

It's not the fairing or the chutes its the fact that the wheels now collide with the parent craft. This will be fixed in 1.2.

Nope. Yours looks cool though. Could be the fairing that is causing it.

Thanks, the problem existed before I changed over to a fairing.

Well yet again I have worked around another game bug. The wheels no longer go pop during EDL on Duna. Phew!

 I have just finished a very complex custom aeroshell and It looks awesome when staging the various parts. It's really coming together now. I just have to add the aeroshell to the hab lander and adjust it for the different engine layout then build the Ares V and then done! I am super excited to fly that first full mission. It is staggeringly complex but enormously fun and challenging to fly successfully in one go!

Hello! Are original ideas also allowed here? (Wich means nothing reallife related, but still detailed and realistic (and 95% stock)). If so, im joining in!

Hi there! 

 As long as it is related to the constellation mission stuff then yeah! Other things would be better served in another thread methinks.

Thanks! I have some spacecrafts that i can show you (all). They are all from my science ''fiction'' space program NSEP (National Space Exploration Program)! They are not all ready, but they will be coming soon.

I think I may have to "borrow" from your designs again, the fairing on the Ascent Vehicle looks really nice.

As for it hanging up, I have no idea what could be causing it, except for the engines not having a high enough TWR at launch, in which case I would recommend putting a few separatrons on the DAV to help it get away from the surface faster. I did the same thing with my Altair, but that was mainly to allow me to run the Ascent Engine at a low enough throttle to avoid melting the Descent Stage.
