[_Krieger_]

I built a new Shuttle in 1.1.

Hey Big Krieger,

 

How did you do that? I cant load any shuttle mod since this 1.1 update on steam... 

 

Kind regards

I didn't have any problems building it in my install, and I'm running a bunch of other mods, it just worked for me, do you have any mods that may conflict with the pack?

Strange. Just tested it on a clean copy of 1.1 and the parts should work fine without firespitter. They just default to LFO instead of being able to switch fuels. I can't speak to how they do in the air though. Haven't gotten into how much aero has changed yet.

 

1.1 release happened to line up with finals of a college class for me but I'm still plugging away. We're gettin' there.

@Pak: You did one HELL of a Job. 

[Sylandro]

That looks neat!

[drtedastro]

great mod pack.  the shuttles i now build are my main work horses..

Thanks for this pack and good luck on getting it up to 1.1

 

Cheers.

[lrd.Helmet]

I think i'm in love 

[techstepman]

i didnt expect something stockalike to look so good!

[schneemannski]

Yes! It works... I have uninstalled all other mods and reinstalled only this one and everything seems perfect! Such a great work! What would you take to get some good looking fueltank and boosters? 

 

[drtedastro]

truly a great mod.

Cheers.

Those new parts look amazing! How's that bay docking adapter coming along? I think I spied it in that picture.

Small request: can you make the flags on the side larger? (As well as on the wings if you ever do them.) The Kamericans certainly want to show of their nationalistic pride.

Aero Testing continues...

 

In other news. Got the OMS Engines, Airlock and MMU into 1.1

 

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement guys. Pretty much all that's left is fixing the aero, balancing fuel values and career mode stuff, and cleaning up the cfgs for release

[schneemannski]

Yeehaa!!! You rock! 

[drtedastro]

Those new parts look great.

Any chance to 'test' ???  Especially the docking port assembly.

Cheers and great work.

Point taken and it turns out I agree. I added the mounting panels on the sides, but they have the same gizmo bug as cargo bays. Maybe something to do with colliders being inside of the boundary of the whole object. I might keep them anyway since they give enough space to place a docking port without it poking through the side.

 

Spoiler

 

The new airlock looks great, and that's the part I'm most excited for!

What did happen to those side panels, though? Did you decide against them, and, if so, is the MMU still going to be attached by a Clamp-O-Tron Jr? Perhaps you can add a dedicated node for it to attach by KIS.

 

Secondly, if you want to consider future feature requests, I suggest a stockalike robotic arm, and sized and styled to fit with the space shuttle.

[Pak]

Yeah they made for some weird collider issues. I'll be putting out a little MMU rack instead

Search for RKE Kanada arm

Unfortunately, it's not as stockalike as it could be. But it seems to be the only good option ATM.

[Guest]

before 1.1 i was using this:

it works very well, but only on large cargo bays.

[Pak]

I'm a big fan of Jeast's Canadarm. That's the one I use when I feel like dealing with IR

 

Checking out the MMU Rack I whipped up really quick. Has guides to align your MMU after redocking and a handy spare Monoprop tank. (Left is empty, Right has docked MMU)
