hugoraider Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 3 minutes ago, GoldForest said: Yeah, I made one too and had the same problem. It's a one way trip lol. There's only really one solution. It can't be fuel, that adds weight, and to have enough fuel to get to orbit and back, even at least once, would be a lot and weigh the craft down. The lunar landing/accent engines might be able to take the fuel, but it's not worth it. The only way I see making LSAM even feasible is to give the decent/accent engines 1000s in ISP. That way they just sip fuel. Yeah, better have a refuelling station in orbit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ra4nd0m Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) So, I've been checking wiki for build guides and wanted to ask, @Friznit is there any plans on updating sdlv section, or perhaps making separate page for SLS and oranges stuff? Those mods are amazing and totally deserve proper docs. Edited July 12 by ra4nd0m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some free time and maybe can do some "pull requests" Also, @Zorg is there any chance of changing side node attachment of atlas V upper stage tank to have an option of selecting side? Right now atlas heavy is asymmetrical. Perhaps instead of simple "side node" option having "side node left" and "side node right" is a better option? Delta 4 also suffers from this. Perhaps @Rodger can take a look at this since they're config wizard Edited July 12 by ra4nd0m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nodes on the Delta IV should allow for all 3 cores to be oriented identically like the real thing. Edited July 12 by Zorg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldForest Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 1 hour ago, Pappystein said: Impressive Launch Also nice kitbash Thanks! Now if only we didn't have to kitbash. Hmmm. I wonder if we could get Zenith Star into BDB if we convince Cobalt to make a non-laser version that is instead a space telescope. The laser exhaust ports can be replaced as... telescope exhaust ports? The imaging sensor gets hot, right? Need to cool it off. Maybe not make it exhaust and instead a radiator. Also, I did have one hiccup during the launch. The nose cones for the SRBs exploded as you can tell in the pics.... Cobalt! We need a special LDC decoupler! Also, a 5 engine smooth mount without those bumps would be nice too so they don't clip into the SRBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THose words were the best thing that happend to me this month! I wish I could buy you a beer, or a can of soda, dunno what you enjoy... Does anybody know who's responsible for CCK patch? I think that either patch itself or tags on new atlas parts should be updated. This patch is a real life-saver and I really hope for the update.

It’s mine, and I’ll double check later, but it should have all of the new stuff already. There should be less parts in atlas category now as a lot of the different tanks got converted into part switches. Also make sure it is updated when you update dev, it’s quite easy to forget “extras” patches when updating, speaking from experience haha But yeah if there are specific missing parts from the FE/CCK patches, please do let me know and I can check/update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some other parts may still get some part merges too, like the LDC interstage for eg What about Transtage? RCS did get an update, but the stage itself didn't.

I did indeed mean solid interstages - or at least an optional B9 switch that would disable stock engine fairing and add an interstage node (if such a thing is even possible in B9, that is). This would allow players to use Transtage with current conical 1.875m interstages without adding extra height to their rockets.

Four engines run through the fuel fast. For All Mankind just used movie magic to make it have infinite fuel of course. well considering they have a moon base, wouldn't that mean they would have a refueling set up already on the base? like they had landing pads and everything, yet forgot to make the fuel? and considering how the early stages of that base was made to get water and make fuel from liquid hydrogen, I'm pretty sure it would be realistic Edited July 13 by Starhawk FTFY - Moderation Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would allow players to use Transtage with current conical 1.875m interstages without adding extra height to their rockets. The main issue is I think the colliders would need changing for clearance with interstages, which is a little more involved than I’d want to get into. You can also currently disable the shroud in the PAW anyway (a stock feature), and offset tool a interstage upwards to fit too. But you may get some slight bumps on decoupling due to the colliders of the transtage not being set up for this, though it will kinda work. The fact the transtage is an all-in-one part too with integrated engines also means there’s basically no difference in stability between a shroud or an interstage. There isn’t a low mass engine part sandwiched in the middle of the stack that an interstage would bypass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
