Ryusho Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Just wanted to make a quick suggestion, that Maybe you should make a Manufacturer tab so it is easier to find these parts, or something like SpaceY did, where it has it's own tab, and sub tabs for t he various parts, considering these add a -ton- to the normal part menus, and with multiple mods it can be a bit confusing to try to find all the related parts.

Wahgineer Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Suggestions incoming: HG-3 engine (conceptual/designed engine that was the direct precursor to the RS-25) config's that change the proper engines to run on hydrogen instead of liquid fuel when Nertea's Cryogenic Engines are installed (by proper engines I mean M-1, HG-3, RL-10, etc.) F-1B engine, so we can make the Saturn 1c from eyes turned skywards(ETS) Long 3.75m orange tank, so we can make the Saturn Multibody from ETS Stubby Service Module, properly stylized KAS/KIS compatible storage containers, 5 kerbal (stretched?) Apollo capsule (again, ETS) 6.25m Cryogenic tanks (for Cryogenic Engines), would allow us to make the Ares from Stephen Baxter's Voyage (Ares was a Mars ship built out of re-purposed Apollo/Saturn hardware) Edited May 20, 2016 by awsumindyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's coming. IIRC right now if you have WildBlueTools installed it adds one. I'll have to see if SpaceY has a more agnostic way of doing it. 6 minutes ago, awsumindyman said: Suggestions incoming: HG-3 engine (conceptual/designed engine that was the direct precursor to the RS-25) config's that change the proper engines to run on hydrogen instead of liquid fuel when Nertea's Cryogenic Engines are installed (by proper engines I mean M-1, HG-3, RL-10, etc.) F-1B engine, so we can make the Saturn 1c from eyes turned skywards(ETS) Long 3.75m orange tank, so we can make the Saturn Multibody from ETS Stubby Service Module, properly stylized KAS/KIS compatible storage containers, 5 kerbal (stretched?)

Rory Yammomoto Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 will there ever be an Saturn S-N rocket in the mod? I would like to make this stupidly big saturn rocket to Eeloo, and I didn't see it in the roadmap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp1989 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) @CobaltWolf @Jso I would really like to use the Vinci as my standard orbital launch vehicle but I can't because the parachute system for it keeps killing my Kerbals. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pcybc65bdg6owx6/KSP.log?dl=0 Edited May 20, 2016 by sp1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakenex Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I don't know, just mentioning Apollo/Saturn was banned here some days ago, so, I'll be happy to have the regular Saturn I B1/2 and B + Saturn V + Apollo CSM + LM + Skylab and that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobaltWolf Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Exactly. But I am nothing if not a dreamer, which is why I spent the last two hours working on Sa- er, Apo- er, Centaur/Vega. Oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, @Jso seems to have had it happen to him, so I don't know. We're still looking into it. I don't know what to tell y'all. Have you tried deleting your PartDatabase.cfg ? Also, after some more deliberation and asking @Beale for some source files, I will be splitting the heatshields off the command pods. Pretty much just because I don't like having the whole pod glow when I reenter. I'll be trying to stream in a bit, don't know what I'm going to work on, could be anything tbh.

It's trivial to do, the only question is how. LH2/LOX, LH2/Oxidizer, some sort of stockalike-ish CryoFuel/Oxidizer. LH2/Oxidizer would be my last choice, but it's already out there in the wild. Some sort of boiloff would be a must and would require a plugin. It's just weird watching LH not boil away. Though it's less weird than a cryo engine running on LF. 2 hours ago, sp1989 said: @CobaltWolf @Jso I would really like to use the Vinci as my standard orbital launch vehicle but I can't because the parachute system for it keeps killing my Kerbals. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pcybc65bdg6owx6/KSP.log?dl=0 45 minutes ago, CobaltWolf said: On the other hand, @Jso seems to have had it happen to him, so I don't know.

I still feel like it's coming in way too fast. @sp1989 are you doing what I was doing: watching the ground come up really fast and increasing the deploy altitude on the main? It's set uncomfortably low at 500m. I didn't do that the last few times and everything worked ok. Dunno if that's it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me but I am just guessing here. Could it have anything to do with the fact that the parachute doesn't show up as a parachute but as a decoupler?

Have you tried deleting your PartDatabase.cfg ? <snip> Actually, I had the exact same problem in testing the Vinci yesterday morning and deleting the PartDatabase.cfg cleared it right up for me. Of course, I move so quickly back and forth between dev versions that it's no surprise that it happened to me and was so simple to clear up, but I figured I'd give a confirmation for this solution at least occasionally.

Ryusho Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Well I thought I would make another, this is a -minor- suggestion though, and not required unless you all decide too, but you may want to re-name the pages/parts in the manual, as well as the .craft files, to match up with the actual parts, as the "Brun-800" and similar parts for the "Viklun" launcher, are actually named "Viklun-800" and similar in game, as It really confused me a -lot- trying to re-create the launchers for them to be named differently.

Is that the only one with issues? It was renamed an update or two ago, apparently the reason I had for the name wasn't correct. where is it still called Brun?

Ravenchant Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Woah, you're approaching RoverDude levels of mod-making speed. Is that thing on the right supposed to be Shuttle-Centaur?

123nick Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 is there no BDB radial decoupler? also, is there a fuel adaptor from 1.25 meter too 0.9375m? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I never got around to making one. And no, there originally was one (and now there's two) but they had their fuel removed because the rockets were OP enough without cramming the extra fuel into every nook and cranny.
