PickledTripod Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Speaking of the Atlas V 411 is the best version Edited September 9, 2016 by PickledTripod Found what I was doing wrong, don't mind me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abrecan Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Mercury Station Prototype test night launch - made a duplicate of the crew fuselage and tweaked it a little for a makeshift science lab was a little unstable during first launch (which still saw a successful orbit after some gyros malfunctioned ), but second launch was very nominal (with about 200 dV in the Agena B tank after insertion). I did keep the second slot open for "emergencies" or a quick resupply for moored vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works great until I stage the boosters, which tend to rotate inwards and destroy the engine no matter where I place the decoupler. Any tips? Have you tried different rocket angles at separation? Different throttle output on the RD180? Or just a bigger decoupler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidy12 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) @CobaltWolf: A couple things. 1.) I think you should put attach points for the fins on the mounting stage because there's something wierd with the symmetry 2.) Be sure to put a SLA version where the panels detach. 3.) The engine fairings in the first stage had retros. And also the S-II to S-IVB has no Solid Fuel 4.) And for some reason the Ullage rockets keep flying off the Interstage. My recommendation: Make 3 variants. One with 4 rockets, one with 8 rockets, one with none. (That's what I did for my KW Sarnus V). BUT keep the Ullage separate as well. 5.) The ullage rockets on the S-IVB would jettison 9 seconds after firing so I'd add a option for whether or not to decouple them. EDIT: Also, DAMNED OCD Though it may be just because this space would tear the rocket apart. Edited September 9, 2016 by davidy12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Also, DAMNED OCD Though it may be just because this space would tear the rocket apart. Its literally unfinished. It's just up for me and Jso to do our configs. 1) I noticed that too, and it's... Weird... But I'm sure it'll get fixed ASAP(when it's done) 2) I feel like having more than one variant would be silly. We should just decide on one. 3) I second the retro motors, but again it's unfinished. ( @CobaltWolf I'm also expecting RCS on the CM. :^) ) 4) I noticed that too, and I'm sure it'll be fixed. Making several variants would just clog up the parts list even more than it already is with BDB installed. 5) It'd be awkward do add too many modules to one part, especially something so small. I'd be weird to have a decoupler AND and engine in one part because one of those options would have to be activated via action group. 6(edit) Reiterated: quite unfinished. wow that was weird to type out all on mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobaltWolf Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 So, right now, on my local copy, the Bluedog_DB folder contains 296 parts. The Squad folder contains 291. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on. That's the variant we need for Lunar missions. I want the missions to be as accurate as possible. ALSO: Procedural Fairings is bugged. Just modify the panels.

VenomousRequiem Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 @legoclone09 @CobaltWolf Keep the memes to a minimum. That... Doge... Thing... Is a little across the line. @davidy12 Watch your mouth young man. This is a more or less professional environment. Let's all keep it that way, at least to an extent.

This is really reassuring to see; the new engine look has me very worried about the standards that are currently in place, so it's great to see there are people out there thinking about meeting the new ones.

Meanwhile I'm here using Atlas sustainers and boosters as 1.25m main engines with MoarMk1 spaceplane fuselage fuel tanks. It looks so good.

Wait a sec....BD SRB's....you can control the thrust on them just like liquid fuel based engines? . I've been treating them as standard SRB's this whole time. @CobaltWolf Is there any plans to modify the tweakability of the boosters/tanks to allow for the width/height to be altered independently?
