I ended up using all my rcs fuel to deorbit, and lost control about 40km up because it was probably too forward heavy without any monoprop. The plane flopped around knocking everyone out but somehow not ripping apart, i tried to fight it but it wanted to fall backwards. Decided not to fight it and gained a bunch of speed around 20km.

So I landed it backwards.

What an amazing vehicle.

I hope you can be bothered with some actual reading, the craft files are located in the OP.

But since your time seems to be very valuable, here is a link sir

sorry i didnt see it

 

hey a question again, do you have any auto pilot suggestions for re entry and what setting should i use for it. Thanks

Having an issue in 2.5x scale. With the patch installed KER shows no more Dv than with the patch not installed, and the ET runs out before the SRB's. Doesn't reach orbit either way.  
Followed the mission and throttled to 70% up until 2 minutes, boosters flamed out at 2:16, ET at 2:46 at a speed of 2300 m/s. Perfect for stock, not 2.5x.
Running 1.43 with the CA for 1.41, MM 3.07.

The Energia-Buran( Petrel) gets to orbit just fine, guess I'll use that. 

edit: it worked once but now every time I load it a different structural failure happens. Trying KJR.

I've got a bit of a problem. So my shuttle is working, but every time I try to autowarp in atmosphere the game glitches out, and nearly every texture turns either invisible or to the skybox, making all flights essentially blind. while it's not present in the SPH or the VAB, it does make the map view completely invisible/unusable, and I have to restart the game in order to fix this problem. Help anyone?

Are there unforseen problems taking the numbers of the 2.5x patch and simply adjusting them for RSS (Non RO)?  i.e. are other variables involved that would cause failure?

*Note: No matter how huge I make the Max Thrust for the SRBs, they still don't go above .5 TWR.

Are you using the provided .craft file, or did you build it from scratch in the VAB?  I've found I need to rebuild, since the existing craft files don't "refresh" for 2.5x. I've done it so often i swear I can make the shuttle in under 5 minutes...

prebuilt.

[slaintemaith]

Try building it from scratch.  I bet that's your fix.

Done, that worked. I have the appropriate Dv but the TWR seems low (1.07) which leads to interesting flight dynamics issues.

Did you make sure the wing tanks are empty?  Is your staging set to something sane?  I have MechJeb settings that will put it almost into orbit, then drop ET, then OMS burn into orbit.  If I saw a screen shot I might be able to diagnose better.

@Pak thank u for this beautyful mod ,just wanna say that the MMU orientation for the docking jr.port on the back is 90 degrees wrong

(upward insteed of backward)

[martinmike2]

anyone else having a problem where the nose cone falls off the SRB on seperation?

That’s intended. Just disable the staging on the SRB parachutes, or have the SRB sep happen before those parachutes deploy and the noses blow off. Hope that helped.

[RealKerbal3x]

@Pak I didn't really want to double-post, but would it be possible to add the HRSI tiles to the bottom of the Block 2 canards? I've been using B9 procedural wings instead, but they aren't perfectly stockalike and look a bit out of place amongst your lovely parts.

Hey guys, been away from the forum for some time now. I skimmed back a few pages and didn't see any reference to it. Has anyone come across an issue where the "SRB-4" will show a particle effects prior to ignition? As well as post SRB cutout? Works perfectly fine. Just looks like it's on fire at all times in the flight scene. I do have a substantial number of mods and I haven't yet narrowed it down. Game version 1.4.5

[GeneralToy]

How do you install this mod correctly? I installed in game data but the parts don't show up in the game

Typically when this happens it has to do with RealPlume and SmokeScreen, do you have those installed?

[space_powder]

How do you mount payloads in the bay? I'm talking about large, 2.5m station parts, because using regular decouplers is boring. Wasn't there a payload mount part in the works?
