Hmm, the only parts I can make out that might be BDB are what look like RL10s on a centaur engine adapter on the service module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the only "BDB" parts are the Centaur II engine mount and 2x RL10C-3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say strap a booster to the back and launch it vertically ala Dyna Soar, is it unconventional? Yes, is it Kerbal Also yes. My Avatar or Bust!

I have a piece of artwork but the rights on it kinda prevented me from posting it. And in case you all haven't noticed.... XB-70 has 10 wheels and a 50,000+ lb payload Kenworth Semi-Truck has 10 wheels and a 50,000+ lb payload.... Yep, B-70 is my next semi truck!

Pudgemountain Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) After a long absence due to various personal reasons. I am back and playing on a new career. The probe Zira became the first Kerbal made object to flyby Scar. Aslo got a Frontier rise. Yes, I am still sending Juno Guidance units as probes, No TUFX right now due to the planet and Moon being dark.

DasherJake640 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Any new parts in the BDB Github Dev Build? Not gonna lie, I've been checking back onto this forum everyday, and every time I see a new satellite or rocket featured, I get sooo hyped up. Love your work! Also, can't wait for the X-15, loved that plane! Edited March 19 by DasherJake640 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that, nothing much - we have all been on an unplanned hiatus until me and Zorg started picking things up again recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marxman28 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Question about the PEBKAC LES system since I couldn't find an answer in this thread: what's the difference between the regular Abort! mode and Abort Mode 1A in action groups? Presumably Abort Mode 1B is the same as the real Apollo Abort Mode 1B where the LES tower doesn't fire its pitch motor since the stack is high enough.

Of course all the other core tank variants such as the derivatives of Atlas D, E/F, II, III all to be done so loads more work lol. oh yeah im gonna recreate the Atlas launch that lost a engine and started spinning before being terminated by the RSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We inherited it from the PEBKAC mod back in 2016 or so and I've never really understood what it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably Abort Mode 1B is the same as the real Apollo Abort Mode 1B where the LES tower doesn't fire its pitch motor since the stack is high enough. Shockingly, I think I can help here. I believe it works like this: Standard Abort action will execute Abort1A if below 3000m altitude, otherwise it'll execute Abort1B. 1A activates both the escape and pitch engines, and 1B activates only the escape engine.

Pudgemountain Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 How to get a satellite into a high orbit around Frontier and don't have powerful rockets. Mix and match a Redstone with a Black Arrow and slap two Castor Booster, Does Red Arrow or Blackstone sound better? I am sorry for the shape but while Frontier is smaller than Kerbin, its gravity and pressure is bigger and I had to reach a very high orbit. Test to see how TUFX works. Pictures from the mounted camera. Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor of Ilve Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 In my work on the RO configs for BDB. I'm having trouble finding sources for many parts. Though the A-7 Quad eludes me, is this a real part or is it just fictional and made for BDB? If it's a real proposal if anyone could redirect me to sources regarding it that would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is Fictional but based on real hypothetical discussions on how to increase thrust for Rocket. A road not traveled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
