We are still a long ways off from having a version that's safe for use in career. I'm always willing to try it on a backup copy of my save. Besides, whenever I go to install a new mod, I make a backup of my GameData folder as well so I can always revert back to a known good config should something break.

It does, for gameplay balance reasons. However...in the 3d model there are seats for 6. So, I move that @CobaltWolf make the MOL lab be as efficient as the stock lab with 2 crew, and include a patch to give the stock lab access to all 6 seats.

I have a 2 stage design that's about 90% BlueDog that is about ready for a test flight. I'll probably wait until I pick up another tourist contract since I'll have empty seats in the command module (helps fund some of the flights).

AyeLmao Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Dont know if this would help But Flight systems redux IVA/Propspack by @MOARdV has some amazing Apollo Stuff in it, i could make an IVA For the Apollo pod/LEM @CobaltWolf and @VenomousRequiem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the Apollo props currently in Flight Systems Redux are part of the updated ASET Props pack, and I will be removing them from FSR when the ASET Props update is out.

While I personally think the MOL should be as efficient as the stock lab in a 2 seat configuration (and fully support whatever decision @CobaltWolf makes on the subject as this mod is technically a dictatorship), it really didn't take long to edit the config myself. GameData/bluedog_db/Parts/Gemini/bluedog_MOL_Lab.cfg For research efficiency: researchTime = 7 scienceMultiplier = 5 Changed the following value to suit my own whims and not necessarily for any performance gains: dataStorage = 1200 Edited August 30, 2016 by pheenix99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pheenix99 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) I docked with the command module with about 100m/s of monopropellant left. Thankfully I had plenty to spare on the CSM to launch a rescue. Ship was remarkably stable. I just cut it a little too close on fuel.

I had a MM patch added to my game, to activate it, from ages: @INTERNAL[Mobile_Processing_Lab_Int] { MODULE { name = InternalSeat seatTransformName = Seat_UpLeft portraitCameraName = Camera_UpLeft allowCrewHelmet = false } MODULE { name = InternalSeat seatTransformName = Seat_UpRight portraitCameraName = Camera_UpRight allowCrewHelmet = false } MODULE { name = InternalSeat seatTransformName = Seat_BackLeft portraitCameraName = Camera_BackLeft allowCrewHelmet = false } MODULE { name = InternalSeat seatTransformName = Seat_BackRight portraitCameraName = Camera_BackRight allowCrewHelmet = false } } It's not so intrusive, as the stock Lab will still act as a 2x crew part, but allow to use the IVA up to 6x Edited August 31, 2016 by Araym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thing I forgot to set something because the lower stage continued to draw propellant from the upper stage & tanks. It still worked on a Munar mission and would expect it to function a little more efficiently on a mission to Minmus given the lower gravity. I might as well look at other monoprop tank options in lieu of the second stage (perhaps there's something a little more efficient that I can use. The feet of the landing legs look....off. Either way, it flew exceptionally well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
