flightmanmicah Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yes. Something like an installer how KSO kerban shuttle orbiter has it.It will be similar. I can't say it will be exact but similar. I've been experimenting with different ideas. I'll let you know what I come up with. I want it to be as professional as possible and able to run on all vista and up machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeast Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Mike raises a very good point here. Now that it is said that we have a team and manager I also expect some more managing. I do not see any improvement on organization since the great exodus. I also expect more things like to do lists, bug lists, goals and dates. I have to agree with Mike that we are now more like an uncontrolled booster.- - - Updated - - -Hmm reading this I can see it comming a bit harsh, but thats not how I mean it. I just want this shuttle to be a big succes and since it is my proffession to manage big construction 3D design projects, maybe my expectations are a bit too high . How about we put all the goals and status in colors (red orange green) on the first page. Just like the RSE mod as example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to tighten things up a bit in terms of goals to work from.Everyone has different priorities but I am guessing we need a collective decision. I get carried away with other stuff( my bad) but doing the not so fun aero corrections now.So far:Aligned COM exactly behind COL. It was way offRemoved one pieceUpdate will only contain core shuttle itemsSeperate download for all other items I made for kspIncreased wing lift for more glideFixed airlock physics glitch (bouncing endlessly on water)Fixed tail to correct sizeAdjusted SSME gimball to a much smoother speedUpdated craft fileChecked rcs fully functional- - - Updated - - -Up next I will uodate my far install and run FAR tests.

Jeast Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 The CoM should never be behind the CoL. Slightly in front should work best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, daedaelus hasn't been feeling well, so we have been unable to hire anyone new or even do interviews to do so.Its more about setting clear goals, keeping track of progress and clear communication than hiring more people and PR. I think its best and most efficient you first need to learn to manage this small team before thinking of expanding.

Kartoffelkuchen Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Um guys, I haven't got anything to do here. Sampa said I could help you Mike with the crawler, but as far as I can see it's already completed, and I doubt I'd be a help in config.Again, we need clear goals what to do, and who does what (Sorry Sampa, I know you have much to do, but I don't want this to fail again).

flightmanmicah Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'm technically a nobody right now with this but may I make a suggestion? Great! The problem that occurred last time was a lack of direction/goal of the project. In project management, something I am quite familiar with, the project team must first come up with short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals before any work occurs. Without this goal setting portion, the ship is basically without a rudder and is taken hither and thither by the four winds. I suggest that you stop development, sit down with the entire team or at least the top three of the project management and set some goals. When the goals are set, creative courses of actions can be, well, created (who, what, when, where, why) for each goal and a timeline for each as well. This may take a bit of time but imagine just being able to sit down and have everything already laid out on when it needs to be done and what needs to be done! All this being said, I'm not in the management team and I am not certain as to what has actually already been discussed off the cuff and what is going on behind the scenes but it seems like there is a lack of direction among the project team. Hope this helps.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-NZ Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 everyone who has a recent release will be notified ingame that a new release is out.can you post up that the old space_shuttle/Parts/Onepiece folder should be deleted and replaced with latest install. if not, they will still have the one piece in there.wont cause issues but if they use it, it wont be supported- - - Updated - - -I'm technically a nobody right now with this but may I make a suggestion?

I just enjoy making stuff and I get distracted, then overwhelmed by my own bugs lol.I updated the shuttle to what I assume is right and what I have read.just a list to work from would be simple and effecive- - - Updated - - -my own to do list now:1.shuttle lighting2.Crawler functionality3.
