Zorg Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 4 hours ago, OrbitalManeuvers said: I'm not sure why Jso picked 4g, and I can't recall if Zorg has said anything about it, but for me 4g is a little too late with PVG. I think I'm about 30 seconds earlier with 3.7g. I believe its just a safe value for jettison on all variants that should leave the core with more than1:1 twr after jettison. You should tune it per LV if you want to optimise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudgemountain Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) I finally got all the parts for Mercury and after a few unmanned suborbital test I launched my first Kerbal. Spacecraft: Mercury Space Capsule named "Frontier 7" Launch Vehicle: Redstone Rocket. Pilot: Jedediah Kerman VII (No I did not kill him 6 times lol) Before you ask. No, Mercury Capsules do not make great bobsleds. Overall the mission was successful, after 2-3 more suborbital flights we will get the Ti....Atlas Ready for orbital flights.

slyfox023 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I got a small question, will you and your team be able to make a comprehensive wiki on your crafts? I understand there's a unofficial wiki, but it sadly doesn't cover all of the craft build guides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The included craft files might be some help if you’re unsure about some craft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booster skirt auto @ 3.7g, PVG 120k Pe, no Q limiting. launching from the Cape so 28deg. For me the booster skirt separates at about 35k, surface vel ~1190km/s. The tower goes shortly after skirt sep, ~ 40km. At that point my TTA is about 1:30. Highest Ap shown is about 126km. I hit 120x120km in appx 4:22, with appx 432m/s remaining. I would definitely try 120km or 130km and see if that improves things for you. PVG is very sensitive to certain parameters with certain builds, and I think 80km is too low for it to perform well. What is the TWR on that thing ~1190km/s KILOMETERS PER SECOND WHAT Minor spelling mistake Edited April 1 by kspbutitscursed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those probes have a BDB version, and afaik all of the BDB probes are in the wiki in the subsections of "Satellites". There aren't build guides for most of them, but most aren't complex and a lot of the complicated ones have craft files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're better off grabbing the craft files from Probes+, though most of them are fairly straightforward to figure out if you filter the parts list.

Crytilz Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Hey guys first time really ever using the forum! I saw a person on twitter/X post pictures of their craft, are these wings in BDB? If not, does anyone know where i can get them? Also you guys should totally make the Apollo CSM shuttle in BDB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last Titan "Missile" was the Titan II, IIRC. Or were you suggesting someone make a Titan IV missile? Which would be a Titan IV without the SRBs TBH, so it would just be a stretched Titan II? Okay, now that I'm picturing that, that is cursed. A Titan IV without SRBs... just... the widened fairing atop a stick... ugh, hurts me! Sidenote: Apparently Titan III's program was called SSLS, with various acronyms. Titan III, best SLS! /joke Edited April 3 by GoldForest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
