VenomousRequiem Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 @legoclone09 Upon closer observations of the picture of the SM, I learned more about the shape and came up with this: i can't remember who actually asked about Minotaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't be useful for in game, and they're not the highest level of detail. But useful for understanding what shape they were going for was.

Wahgineer Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 @CobaltWolf, if you're going for size adapters, 1.25m-1.875m and 1.875m-2.5m are sorely needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a 1.25>1.875m adapter for Atlas, and several other options if you're doubling up the adapters (1.875m > 1.5m, 1.5m > 1.25m). I agree 1.875m > 2.5m is needed.

Hey, that's why we practice. Thanks to Cobalt's wonderful teaching, I've been able to get decent at it. It's taken me a year now to get where I am, mind you, and I'm really not the best. 14 minutes ago, legoclone09 said: Yeah, it would have been nice having that to base it off of, I only used the image you posted earlier. What did you do with it? I flipped it on it's side and used it as a direct orthographic and modeled off of it, which lead to the satisfying realization that assuming the capsule is 2.5m the SM is perfect at 1.5.

No but it would be nice to offset it down a bit. I'd have to open the F1 in Unity to do that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to open the F1 in Unity to do that though. It's been a while since I did an engine but I think that's something you can .cfg. Edit: ok yeah, so the module MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE can have a parameter for this: localOffset = 0,0,0, set to something else and you can move the FX. Never got it to work for smoke for some reason though... Edited October 4, 2016 by Starbuckminsterfullerton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3R0_0NL1N3 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 3 hours ago, CobaltWolf said: You can already build the Atlas V 4xx configuration, albiet with a too-short centaur. Apart from that, I could finish Atlas V with basically 3 parts (the 5xx fairing base / interstage combo, a longer Centaur tank, and the AJ60s). Well, didn't you kill Centaur? In which case this would be a good thing to do with it upon its revamp. Until then, however, do take a break since you just finished Sarnus.

komodo Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I can check the LEM animation when I get home from work... Which will be sometime today, hopefully... as far as fairings go, a... Little birdy... Told me that proc fairings (the mod) will still/soon/can work in 1.2. So we'll have that option available to us "soon". I've done some work with them, and our resident cfg-meister has done some real magic with them in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minepagan Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) @CobaltWolf, I'm in the process of making a craft repository on kerbalx.com with various launchers and payloads, the repo can be found RIGHT HERE Anyone who wants craft added, just upload them and PM me. Edit: AAAnnndddd just found out that I forgot to Email myself the Minotaur capsule files, so they are still on a computer at my school....oh well, I wasn't that far along anyway xD Edited October 4, 2016 by minepagan well s*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobaltWolf Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 @komodo Jso says that everything works. Also, now that the LEM is done, I asked the awesome /u/KazanNinja to update the artwork he did a few weeks ago. Dude shot me back a fresh render with the new specular and normal maps after only a couple hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Reonic Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Not sure if anyone has had this problem, but i can't seem to get the SLA payload petals to close. They're locked open in the VAB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Yammomoto Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I flew this to Minmus in an Apollo INT-18, (or as I call it, DIRECT J-5). It is very capable. Edited October 4, 2016 by Rory Yammomoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
