In fact I like them all ESLIK is a mix of DC-X and JAXA RVT. The main stage of Junkers RT-8-11-8 is to big to use as singel part glider and to special to make it compatible with stock parts. The space plane Ju RT-8 can be build as single part like all other space planes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hraban Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) @Well, your idea with the skid's is not forgotten. For release these prototypes were without clean textures. still a few pictures from the testing. Edited September 23, 2016 by hraban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) @hraban OK cool! I think that that will give an interesting alternative for shuttles. I like the model HOPE has definitively a nice body shape ! Edited September 24, 2016 by Well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hraban Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Again and again you stumble over this daring concept when looking for reusable spaceships is on. The IAR-111 Excelsior was planned as a suborbital supersonic jet which fitted with an auxiliary tank and start from the water. Obviously, the concept was too daring, but did it fun to create a simplified model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSPNerd Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I hate to ask, knowing it probably was already asked, but I can't actually fly any of the spaceplanes in this mod, the flip towards the tail end or spin out of control due to aerodynamics. Is there a fix planned or some way to fix it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a fix planned or some way to fix it?? Well, the question is, what mods you have installed? Examples: - FAR works not with Contares! - Spaceplane are not super versatile aircraft but rather sluggish and supercritical glider! Following Mods make no trouble: - Persistant Rotation - RemoteTech2 - ScanSat - Hulcam VDS - PartCommander - MechJeb - ShipManifest - TAC-LS - all Plugins from DMagic - MOLE - InfernalRobotics - CryogenicEngines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSPNerd Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Ah, FAR doesn't work... that's what I was afraid of... I have figured out a workaround using mouse aim flight, but so far I only know it works with the Rexx-M, I haven't tested it with any of the other spaceplanes. Also, will there ever be FAR compatibility??? I love FAR & love this mod, and I love the X-20, I've wanted one in KSP for a long time. But to find one, & find that it doesn't work with one of your favorite mods... sucks, to be honest. Yeah, thanks for taking the time to respond to my previous comment!!

The question is, can FAR calculate the aerodynamic of single parts in future? Ask Ferram Aerospace Research about the problem to calculate the aerodynamic of single parts.

Matuchkin Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Please, oh please make this compatible with realism overhaul. These parts are amazing, and I am determined to make them see some real-life action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very probably have the rocket engines Gimbals, but these can only be used when a corresponding control unit was added. Contares offers 3 standard SAS and control units in the designs 1.25 / 1.875 / 2.5 m x 0.5 m and a sleek control unit (Tweakscale compatible) to.

Noah_Blade Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) I looked in the .CFG files... the A6 and A5 engines have a gimbal rating of 2 and reponse speed of 5 which is kinda slow EDIT~ fixed CFGs to disable response time...I will get back to you after testing is over Edited October 2, 2016 by Noah_Blade .CFGs, Gimbal Response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobaltWolf Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 are these mostly revamps of your existing parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFatalis Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Why big amount of the rocket parts are smaller scale than they should be? for example ariane 6\5 is 2.5 meter and not 3.75 and the zenit is 1.875 and not 2.5 , is it so it would be more balanced with stock?can you maybe make a config to rescale them to roughly 0.65 scale?

Contares needs more parts that fits in a 2.5 m fairing. The P-180 SRB is a fictional part. VINCI as upper stage for A5/A6 is missing yet.

Contares builds the launcher in 50% scale, so 2.5 m fits best to 2.7m by ALIYANA (Ariane) and 1.875 m fits best to 2.025 m by KERLOT (Zenit). There are no "should be" *lol*.
