Because in my testing moduleCargoBay was working correctly and shielding the payload. If its drag I will see what can be done. It's drag.

I know we had trouble with the jettison version of the historical SLA as well. I think we mitigated it enough with a custom drag cube on the panels but not sure if its totally resolved. Will look into it some more. (doesnt help neither me nor cobalt know much about the KSP aero system) Edited April 24, 2022 by Zorg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorg Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 51 minutes ago, GoldForest said: Don't know if this will help or not: I get it at the very basic level but the SLA seems to be weird due to the nature of it being built from 4 sections perhaps. Unlike fairings or the hinged SLA, the jettison panels are each a single part and despite looking at the aero debugging im not sure of the exact source of the extra drag. 1 hour ago, Jcking said: It's drag.

Can't wait to send the Shuttles to Skylab with that bad boy! Those parts are beautiful! Fantastic work as always!

Saturn H03 with F-1Bs for the first stage. core engine is kept at 60% thrust until 10 seconds to side booster burnout. LES is jettisoned after J2A2 ignition. Payload to 100x100 km orbit is a Apollo block V with a 38.8 ton lander with the main shapes consisting of the cryotanks H50-144 tank (90% of the oxidizer and 70% of the fuel is kept) with 4 LT-2 landing struts on the side of it and Benjee's PEV PT-M100C cabin on top. it is underneath a 3.75 meter fairing for comparison, but that faring is not built when testing the drag of the H03 SLA.

Ok looks like there is definitely a payload drag problem, I did a test earlier just using solar panels to see if they're shielded but using the aero gui option I can see some parts generating drag. Increasing the modules lookup radius a lot doesnt seem to have fixed it so far. Needs more investigation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudgemountain Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 It should be in the latest version of BDB just right click on the Apollo CSM both regular and Block III and a texture should be called Modern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'th Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Not that anyone asked but heres an cluster of 5 Saturn V's in an asparagus configuration. Quote MR BONES WILD RIDE Surprisingly, it could factually get to orbit. But because the rocket equation basically had its way with the contraption, its only really good for putting the CSM into orbit. Which is hilarious.

Four and three joined together was seriously proposed, although if it was a straw man design or something else is unknown (note that the 3 is in 3x symmetry and is spaced to allow a 33ft payload between the S-IIs).

GoldForest Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) @CobaltWolf @Zorg @Invaderchaos The LM's decoupler doesn't have a real name associated with it, and it doesn't come up when you search "Apollo" Also Zorg, could the collider not going all the way up on the H03 fairing be a cause for the high drag? It stops about quarter meter away from the Apollo SM.

The colliders form the bounds of the moduleCargoBay shielding, they dont affect the aero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt have time to test extensively but I believe the payload should be appropriately shielded now. Please see if performance is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigyihsuan Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I got the film-return contract that follows the Keyhole/Spyglass missions and I've been having trouble getting the results from the camera experiment into the sample return capsule without a Kerbal. I saw that there was a "Collect All" action in action groups for the return capsule, so I set it. But, when I used it, it didn't work. I did the following: Launch the thing into orbit. Run the camera experiment. Press action group 1 to "Collect All". Expected: The return capsule should have the results from the camera inside. Actual: Nothing happens. Is there something wrong going on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
