Problem is that every element of the arm apparently weighs as much as the shuttle because any joint movement displays Newton's 3rd law quite well. Even just twisting the wrist will spin the shuttle in the opposite direction... no load attached. Speed and accelerations are as low as they can go. I'm sure there are other arm users here. What is the solution? Expand The solution is IR + Canadarm: And it works well in 1.3.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawnDartLeo Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Feel stupid saying this but I have that one installed on the SSS.

Expand My shuttle (just like the real NASA one) has a separate OMS system and main engines. The OMS engines use separate fuel, so I don't know if that's the issue. But thanks for trying The Trajectories mod looks really helpful actually. Since I don't actually have a hardcore gaming computer (the MET clock is yellow most of the time for me) I don't want to have too many mods, but I can probably make an exception.

Arte Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 All of the parts in the mod look amazing, but I play in 6.4x and I have been screwing with the cfgs for a couple days now and I just cant get the shuttle to work in 6.4x scale.

slaintemaith Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The issue with SMURFF happens when you crank the SRBs up to RSS size. (Non realism overhaul--those are separate configs) They kinda vomit in the petunias there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelancholyFlapper Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have a Cormorant Aeronology patch I homemade to RO-ize the parts, and the cockpit has got an FSTextureSwitch module. I'm not sure if that's the problem (it swaps the cockpit textures between stock, shuttle-like and buran-like) but when I set up the windowshine patch up for it using the example patches as a base, and following the style of the alpha channel editing that windowshine does on the correct textures, the entire cockpit is shiny instead of just the windows and the shadows on it are all screwy. Any idea why this might be? Crossposting this in the relevant threads, this is driving me nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it's all working and balanced I'll probably put it up on the dev build while I work on the textures. @LawnDartLeo I would guess your launch is a bit too high or your payload is too heavy. I would check the guide from the OP if you haven't to see if you're doing a similar launch. Doing something like this your OMS burn should only cost about 50-80 dV leaving you with plenty of fuel for normal LKO missions. Expand Awesome, been waiting a while for this! Am I right that the Shuttle-Centaur mount would be for the Centaur-Gs that come with BDB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abpilot Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 1.4 is reacting “OK” with this mod... (wont let me change textures) if you say i have installed it wrong i only had this problem in the 1.4 update...i will try and find the logs for you...

Doc Shaftoe Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 You probably need an updated Firespitter dll. I'm not sure if they've compiled one for 1.4 yet. Odds are you'll have one soon. Alternately, Pak might just update his parts to use the new stock livery switching tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pak Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I saw some things going on with 1.4 like broken engine effects, RCS, and maybe some weird things that'll be cleared up with the FS update. So I'll have to fix all that, but I'm not going to mess with it until 1.4.1 comes around. @Frednoeyes It is kind of. It has switchable braces for different payload diameters and one of those is for the BDB Centaur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hey everyone, Sort of an intermediate patch for 1.4.1 so not posting to Spacedock yet. You can grab it from my Github CA - Mk3 Shuttle Pack on Github RCS fixed for OMS Pod and MMU The engine effects got messed up with the unity update and I can't figure out how to fix them. Hopefully when new part tools are released it'll work out but for now just use the Smokescreen/Realplume (if you're not already). Added the MMU Construction Port - Just a low profile docking port jr that looks nicer on a station if you're not using KAS to clean ports off.

Puggonaut Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Thank god , I was really missing using this Mod in 1.4.1 due to the stock effects being so badly screwed up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pak Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 @Barzon Kerman Block II stuff works outside of the same issue with engine effects. You can find the current release on the OP or if you'd like to use the dev release which includes the full Block II orbiter use the link below. https://github.com/Pak84/CA_B2-Dev-Build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
