Why risk Jeb's precious life to deploy station parts?!? Have you seen my flying?

Because doing otherwise would rob him of the thrill he needs to be the Jeb we all know and launch

I am having a problem in the roll maneuver after clearing the tower. As soon as start rolling the whole craft starts wobbling.(SAS was 'on')

Because of this I have to rotate the craft in VAB and then lauch it.

Can anybody help?

Use Atmospheric Autopilot. Rolls like a dream

I think that the real shuttle did the initial roll with the SRBs, so make it so you can disable the gimbal on the SSMEs with action groups.

Did X-20 have a roll program?

Presumably, but its probably better just to have the rocket already pointed at Moscow and go from there.

I like this idea. I will surely try this out.

Hi, I would like to edit the shuttle cockpit so that it can use the 2 seats in the back of it like the the mk3 can be a 6 seater with mods. I have been looking all around your files and cant find the shuttle cockpit cfg.

that's because there's no cockpit, it only has a nose and that's it. If you want 2 extra seats, you need to make a MM-config for the MK3 cockpit or edit the orginal config. This one can be found in .....GameData\Squad\Parts\Command\mk3CockpitShuttle.
Hope this helped  

 

Or just download this  (don't know if it works in 1.2.2 though)

This does work in 1.2.2, although I wish it had 8 seats to accurately simulate the real shuttle. Beggars can't be choosers

You could easily edit the crew capacity to 8 (or 10 for buran) in the CFG, but only the first 6 would have IVA portraits.

The no IVA is a pet peeve of mine, so I usually don't edit crew capacity

Wait...didnt that mod add the 2 seats to the fligt deck? Wasnt there 2 more in the middeck area to make 8? (Between the hatches)

[Cdw2468]

They're on either side of the existing 2 back seats. I don't know anything about 2 more to make 8

It used to add them to the open lower space below the rear windows, unless that got removed?

Can confirm the BDB Centaurs D and T fit nicely in the bay for your high energy payloads

When you're in VAB, click on a part and look for 'Autostrut:____' set it to anything other than "Disabled" and activate "Rigid Attachment" or something like that, if you have done that your craft shouldn't wobble

This mod is great! I looked for some Stockalike Space Shuttle parts ages ago but I sadly missed this. And for some, weird KSP  reason, the particles of the SRBs seem to hate me because they refuse to show up  Nope   I just needed to update Real Plume, It's even better now!

It seems that my Seperation nosecones keep flying off the srbs when they're activated. Anyone know a fix for this?
