Mike-NZ Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I will write up a proposed idea for the mod, short mid and long term goals, and a worklist"plan of action" if I get time tonight.I may leave the work distribution up to sampa and daedaelus to lighten the workload for themDont know where i can post this tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampa Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Okay, I really want you guys to succeed on this! Let me know if I can help.I will write up a proposed idea for the mod, short mid and long term goals, and a worklist"plan of action" if I get time tonight.I may leave the work distribution up to sampa and daedaelus to lighten the workload for themDont know where i can post this thoThanks, i think it may be better for you to do that..i got a migraine atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nansuchao Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've found where all that Kerolox thingy came out. I confused for a moment the Shuttle with the Buran... STS with Hydrolox, Buran completely on Kerolox. I'm sorry for my mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nansuchao Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) Downloading... and tested:Great job Mike, now it flies really well, during ascent and re-entry too, atmospheric flight almost perfect.In vacuum there are a couple of issues, first the OMS tends to produce a phantom thrust, also at 0% of throttle. To avoid it I needed to deactivate the OMS between maneuvers and second, the RCS now it's not working at all, I don't know the reason. On a side note, I suggest to add Stock Bug Fix mod from Claw as a suggested mod. While the STS is a single piece, it's possible (it happened to me one time on three test) that the overheathing bug will occur, cause the KSP heat system doesn't like big parts attached to little parts. So, If I launch the STS with some science parts in the cargo bay, or something composed by little parts, they will explode due to overheating.Btw, the atmospheric side is done in my opinion.

Mike-NZ Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thanks. Will definately look into these things tonight- - - Updated - - -That ksp heating issue ia only evident in RO right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nansuchao Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 No, it's a stock bug, exacerbated by Far. DRE and Stock Bug Fix helps solving this problem, partially.Btw, Happy Birtday!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-NZ Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thanks. I notice if you push the orbiter out of control it stalls crazy. Can an experienced far user run these tests please. Don't know if its normal FAR behavior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nansuchao Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yes it is. The real Space Shuttle wasn't easy to flight. During one of the firsts STS missions, NASA asked to the pilot to stall the Orbiter after the heating part of the re-enter, to test the stability of the shuttle. The pilot refused. Who flow the Shuttle said that he flies like a iron...Btw, in FAR, this shuttle is just a little difficult, nothing an average player can't maneage. To be a shuttle it flies really well...

Nansuchao Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 The space shuttle was said to be more aerodynamic while flying backwards so it actually was a piece of crap xdWhat he says... Btw, also checking the FAR values in SPH, the shuttle is great. All green, fur subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic speed. With every spaceplane, in Far, you need some help by the SAS control, setted on Prograde under 60 km (in RO), under 50 (in stock) or from RCS. The real STS used RCS (hydrazine) to stabilize the flight until the approach and landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
