parts [1.2] Karibou Expedition Rover [0.3.0]

[RoverDude]

Wheels specifically, the wheel braking torque clamps to 30 (when these and some others have torque measured in the hundreds)

[Yuri kagarin56]

If you want better braking just reverse until you are at 0.0ms and brake.

..and if you're on slope you roll away as brakes do NOTHING now.

There's a KSP bug where, if you right click stuff, it kills braking torque. Consider adding in the stock bug fixes modulewheelfix bit.

stock and old karibou wheels do have working brakes. Is it still fix?

guess I'll better try and report back

...

It worked, changed wheel behavior dramatically. more grip...muuuch more grip, i can now flip over my crane frame rover on acceleration and brakes have max torque 500....just enough to stop 4 ton 8 wheeled rover.

I didn't find it listed (though we all know how well the search results work on here). The deployable emergency shelter does not seem to be providing any supplies when inflated. By the description I thought it would be similar to the DERP lifeboat, were inflating provides emergency supplies. Is there something apparent that I missed when installing, bug, or by design? I even changed over to USI-LS to ensure compatibility.

I do hope the wheels torque is signifigantly nerfed sometime. 4 of them with motors on can do a wheelie on a 200 ton craft. 2, and I have no grip

As noted, stock bug (hence direction to that thread)

That's in anticipation of USI-LS habitation requirements (no supplies, just hab space)

Pic of your rover, and consider disabling motors. Note that the Karibou is mostly geared for hauling fairly heavy loads. If torque is too much, just disable a motor set.

Yeah, I managed to make it work mostly, by disabling the rear motors, but having the front ones on with full grip strength.

I just want to say how much I like this mod. All of the lander/rovers I have been building lately incorporate parts from this mod. I cannot thank you enough for making it.

[RoverDude]

You're welcome - glad you enjoy it

[Beetlecat]

Now I want to experiment with an IR hinged trailer... anyone try this yet?

[Rousse]

I love this mod! The integration with OKS/MKS is great, the Mk2 parts fit pretty well.

Roverdude, have you considered making a karibou part for the MK3 parts? I thinking something like an extended flatbed with a centered node for a big kontainer or MK3 part?

Right now the FTT Honeybadger parts make a great Rover platform for the MK3 parts.

[RoverDude]

Yep, Honeybadger is what goes with the Mk-III's

Awesome, didn't realize you had so many mods! Thanks!

There's a KSP bug where, if you right click stuff, it kills braking torque. Consider adding in the stock bug fixes modulewheelfix bit.

After some time with suggested "fix" i have to say that somewhere something went terribly wrong. Or it is tuned for some specific wheel pack.

Rovers tend to flip, takeoff, or explodify under forces caused by accelerating wheels.All wheels even stock ones have too much grip and torque.

As per karibou wheels changing brake speed to 10 cured new wheels, value copied from legacy wheels, all wheels are working and braking absolutely fine with stock wheel module for me.

Can you tell me which line is responsible for lateral grip(side slide). I find them a bit too much sliding for a tanker?

	steeringCurve
 	{
            key = 0  16  0    -0.89
            key = 10 9
            key = 30 2  -0.12  0
 	}

	torqueCurve
	{
            key = 0  400  0     90
            key = 1  450  25    0
            key = 5  435 -10   -21
            key = 32 64  -6    -6
            key = 34 0   -92    0
	}

Hey, dude. Here's a couple of weird interactions I encountered. Trying to fit the 1.25m radial parts like the observation cupola and airlock from the Stockalike Station Parts mod onto the Karibou Adapter Plate slice will cause the entire vehicle to spaz out. Fitting stock parts or pieces from Heat Control, curiously, appears to be fine.

And now I can't launch my test craft at all. Screen goes black, Kerbin disappears, and I can't do anything. Not even loading works; have to restart the game. So I can't troubleshoot further, unfortunately.

Edit: because I deleted the karibou Spaces folder. Good jaaaaab. Let me know if you'd like me to test anything else in this area.

Edit2: Appears to be an issue with the colliders for the two parts not playing nice. Node-attaching the airlocks onto stock radial plates appears to be fine as long as the airlock's model doesn't clip into the rover's body. As soon as it does, mucho weirdness.

.....son of a....

Haha' date=' but for real sort of glad I didn't put that together in my head because the lab windows make it look so cool! Also the Chaka antenna, really need to have the Chaka antenna[/quote']

That's the Lack Luster Labs (by Lack) Antenna which is licensed to Chaka.

Also, included in the license document is a statement from Chaka himself that it is his favorite part in all of KSP.

[Glaran K'erman]

Haha, thank you YANFRET, noted! By the way I am almost to the point in my first New Horizons career to have another Karibou adventure so I will make sure to bring along a framed picture of Chaka next to my heart-shaped picture of RoverDude.

[Pectus Solentis]

RoverDude. Whay about adding Engine Cowling for Karibou?

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/79588/page771

Like this Honeybadger-MK3 Rover, Karibou-MK2 Rover with its own transfer engine seems good.

Most of RoverDude parts don't allow clipping by design. However, its easy to change this in .cfg:

Change:

attachRules = x,x,x,x,0

to

attachRules = x,x,x,x,1

[CrashTestDanny]

Love this mod - any chance of getting the wheel attach points set up so we can use symmetry to attach wheels? (yes, I'm that lazy...)

Thanks!

Best bet is to create an issue on the karibou github and then cross your fingers.

Ah, thanks. I'll try that.

0.1.1.0 IS UP

0.1.1 - 2015.11.09

Update for KSP 1.0.5

[tal2410]

Hello Mr Dude! It looks like it's still tagged as '1.0.4' on Kerbalstuff, so according to CKAN it's incompatible with latest KSP.
