OHN Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Would it be possible to make a 2.5m Atlas-V boattail/engine mount to use with other engines? Feels weird to have an external pipe that leads nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBV not Game breaker, just wanted to know The toggle only toggles a single node, which is used for attaching the radial cores to the decouplers. The decouplers are surface attached to the central core with no nodes. You can also surface attach the radial boosters to the decoupler, there's invisible attachment colliders on the decoupler which provide the correct distance from the core stage. 3 hours ago, OHN said: Would it be possible to make a 2.5m Atlas-V boattail/engine mount to use with other engines?

BorfoandShnogs Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Hello! Since the GEM-63XL SRB was recently added to the mod's development branch, I was wondering if this also means we'll be seeing the Vulcan come to BDB in the near future, as well as the Centaur V upper stage?

No plans for Vulcan. The XL was just an easy modification to the model and something fun to play with. 5 hours ago, OHN said: Would it be possible to make a 2.5m Atlas-V boattail/engine mount to use with other engines?

Maybe X-37B for Atlas V? Strangely enough, there is no mod for it, so we have to resort for kitbashes such as above (beautiful one BTW!).

RE Titan, I do not presume to speak for the BDB team, but in my opinion the art still holds up mostly WELL... a few minor nitpicks that might be made better but it is already of the same basic art generation as the new Atlas V parts... I would rather see some of the more oddball stuff not in "publics mind" things like the Titan Transfer vehicle (which is an honest to goodness weird alternative to Transtage) or baring that, maybe some ab-historic parts that fit the current Atlas/Delta/Titan art styles. We can always use more interesting parts.. RE new rockets, don't see a need. We have two good mods for Vulcan. And well this is a mod mostly about the 60s,70,80s space flight and 80s is BARELY there. Atlas V and latter Delta IV were "larks" if you will that do not fit with the timeline on their own of the rest of BDB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappystein Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) @Entr8899@GoldForest This is just someones random artwork (I doubt the MSFC tag is legit) But this is all I have AT THE MOMENT Yes that is a Titan LR87-AJ-9 (I specifically remember it being a -9 because better low altitude thrust then the then only AJ-11 High altutide bell, Latter the AJ-11 got 2 bells.) The tanks are IIRC 2nd stage Titan II tanks 2 each oxidizer and 2 each Fuel The interstages are GONE and structural re-enforcement rings are added.

Titan indeed holds well, and doesn't need a graphic revamp. However, it follows the stock "butt+engine - decoupler" logic, and not the modern BDB's "butt - engine - interstage" logic. Basically, it needs a "re-cut", so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappystein Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) Ok Followup. Had a quick discussion with some other people on the Shuttle Booster and also referenced my copy of Jenkins on Shuttle. The name is Titan Liquid Booster Module TLBM or LBM. The art in my previous post is MOSTLY Legit. Two tanks would actually be shorter than the other two to avoid excess gaseous vapor in the tanks during acceleration. Long story short, it was designed to make Shuttle a Polar orbitable vehicle without going to extremes in weightloss. Instead we got light weight ET and Extra Light Weight ET and Composite SRM. If you look closely you can see that the bottom left and upper right tanks are longer than the Upper left and lower right.

Pappystein Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) So I didn't have a B-70 for this... But I thought I would share the B-70 + X-15D launcher. But I did do THIS: Spoiler This is literally All I could build that would carry the X-15 aloft as a plane. that is 16 of the 0.625m Dia Jet engines... Parachute is for post separation recovery of the carrier by StagedRecovery (it was recovered via powered landing so Yay) Surprisingly, using the X-15A's tail-plane as a canard on the X-15D made it into a superior glider. This is me returning after my first launch. KSC is directly under the X-15 in this aircraft Note if you do this DISABLE PITCH on the elevons as it will cause the X-15 to snap roll! (controls probably need to move a little faster with less amount of movement for the Elevons, I need to test that further) Launched via SuperRedstone (quad A-7 rockets + Castor I SRMs) The bulk of Super Redstone is standard tankage, but just above the Quad A7 I switch to the 1.25-1.5m Thor tank to get the Quad A7s what they need. Full Pitch DOWN needs to be applied at launch in this config (the Rocket is tipping 1 click or about 5 degrees on it's back If you don't apply Full pitch down you flip over and belly flop (literally land on the belly of the X-15... about 800 yards/meters away from the Launch pad facing the VAB.... Not a fun flight for Poor Jeb. Revert and here is my landing... Noticed this on the first landing of this craft but missed the opprotunity to take the picture... Because I was doing EXACTLY what the parachutes say I should be doing! FWIW the NAA Proposal to turn XB-70 #3 into a Space launcher included a Gemini Launch vehicle... utilizing a Highly modified Titan II First stage and a directly attached Gemini capsule Edited June 9 by Pappystein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biohazard15 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) Small QoL request here: Can we get an optional booster node on the OTHER side of CCB? Because reasons. Six of them, to be precise.

zakkpaz Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 @Zorg So next is CELV, yeah? Or are going to save that for later? I don’t want to bug you when you just gave us something new to play with but I’m really looking forward to that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gupyzer0 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I honestly don't think Titan needs a refresh, is looking quite good and works fine. There are still other probes and vehicles to do IMHO. Perhaps early missiles or even probes of the 70's / 80's / 90's. Pioneer venus, Voyager, Galileo and others. Also some other Hughes probes and commercial satellites of the 60s and 70s Maybe some Mariner Mark II stuff . . . Yeah, somehow I want even more probes but I'm very happy with what we have right now, BDB is amazing. And now that we have Mariner 8/9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heavy decoupler will fully work with surface attachment too, theres special invisible colliders so surface attaching a radial core will correctly attach to the decouplers. Your plans are already technically feasible, though the decoupler struts will probably clip. And anyway the node is positioned so the posts at the bottom of the decoupler align with the SRB mounting holes on the radial core engine mount too, so more nodes in any other position won’t be suitable anyway. 3 hours ago, zakkpaz said: @Zorg So next is CELV, yeah?

It is on the to-do, though maybe only the tankage, may be keeping the current engine mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldForest Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Atlas V stage and a half. Skirt jettison at 50% fuel remaining in lower tank. (I set the top tank to drain first). Or 3.1Gs. This leaves Altas with a 1.10 TWR and just under 2 minutes of fuel. Sustainer engine is a H-2 upgraded variant with more thrust. Can get an Agena into a 150km x 150km equatorial orbit.
