[1.1.3] Pulsejet Argus As 014 / As 044 and other WWII german engines

[Pagan_Scorpion]

Understood, this is easy to change.
Does it need to slowly decrease in efficacity, or just stop working at 2.7/2.9 ?

Maximum thrust and efficiency is at mach 1.2, but it goes down by very little, until about mach 2.5, where it would decrease in a very large curve, as the pressure gets too high for the amount it's expanding, and the flame holder starts to go out.

[Pagan_Scorpion]

Okay, that's what I've done for mach 1.2, best efficiency there ! I'll add a decreasing curve after.

[He_162]

Like this comment when you release another update, so I will be up to date as soon as possible with your mod, I love it!

[Pagan_Scorpion]

Here's a small update based on what we were discussing about flam out at 2.5 mach for lorin ramjets.

Just to show you the new atmosphere curve (if it needs more tweaks, it will be easier with this) : 

And here is a WIP of the next part, I'm currently making the texture !

Nice!

 

I can make charts if you need them, just ask, and I will do it when I can.

[halowraith1]

will it have the variable exhaust nozzle?

I didn't think of that. 
I'll release at first a static version (easier to do, and everybody can have fun with it ^^), then I'll try to make that (new to me, so probably longer to do).

[Lofar968]

Anyway to turn down the volume on the Pulsejet 044? Its quite loud on my end.

Turn down the sounds on your KSP before using it?

[halo fan 117]

would you be willing to post the craft files for the vehicles in the first post images ?

[Ryanja99]

Any chance of 1.1 support? Never knew this mod existed. Glad I found it!

 

 

EDIT: I tested the engines in 1.1 and they all seem to function normally. No weird bugs, pulsejets shutdown after Mach 1, and nothing seems glitchy. I haven't tried it with AJE or FAR yet but totally stock 1.1 seems to work.

The pulsejet as-014 could not work past mach 0.95 the air forced the intakes open all the time.

 

The As-044 could stand up to mach 1.3 Im sure.

[Pagan_Scorpion]

Sorry guys for the long silence. It was not intended. My babyboy was born a bit earlier, letting me no time to continue the mod until now. I'll do my best !

To give you some more information, the Jumo is on its way, just some problem to tweak (not the trust I want nor the top speed... Maybe because of a faulty hitbox messing with aerodynamics). I also want to produce a better texture for it. It's too blank for my own taste !

=> I'll do that, I just need to rework some of those, since Adjustable Landing Gear doesn't appear to work properly since 1.1

Yeah, I didn't have problem with them either.

Yup for the As-014. Didn't remember if it's also the case for the 044. Need to check this !

The As-044 had a little equipment piece on the front that sucked in more air, and also slowed it down, so that the air could compress more into the combustion chamber in between bursts, and it helped force open the valves when they were forced shut by the pulse of the jet.

[halowraith1]

any chance we could get some sneaky new pics

 

edit

also, if youre still working on the mod, could i suggest some engines?

1. BMW 028, turboprop version of BMW 018

2. DB 021, turboprop HeS-011

3. Jumo 022, turboprop Jumo 012

4. DB 007, turbofan

I have four words.

V-1's will be complete

[Deizelpunk]

Is this mod still in the works for 1.2.1?

Curious myself. I love these pulse jet engines.

[Pagan_Scorpion]

I have currently less time to work on this mod, nonetheless I still work on it when I can !
I've some problems with the jumo, they're not working as intended !
And afaik the mod is compatible with latest ksp version ! If any bug, please let me know

Thanks for that confirmation Pagan! Much appreciated, and all your hard work. I would love to see a upcoming update, and reach out to me if you want texture help for revigoration. I have a history of fiddling with game engines.

[Deizelpunk]

Poo, how do you delete comments?

Edited March 3, 2017 by Deizelpunk

[lmaoer]

What is the real life thrust of the lorin sanger ramjets please? each one of them in kilonewtons preferably but any other form of measurement of force will be politely accepted. Danke Schön.

[KarlDunhuff]

small necro...

 

Great mod, looks nice! I will se if I can get these working in RSS/RO/RP1

 

I found this info:

I am trying to add the PSSI mod from:

https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/124078-113-pulsejet-argus-as-014-as-044-and-other-wwii-german-engines/

Featuring is late 40's/early 50's pulse jets like that on the Fieseler Fi 103, AKA the V1 Buzz Bomb. Ford/Chelomey produced their own versions, as the 10Kh & JB-2 cruise missiles, and stock existed into the mid 1950s. SFC 0.513 lb/lbf-hr static. Thrust limited at mach 0.75, Temperature limit Mach 1.0.

source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_As_014, A single Argus As 109-044 pulse jet engine that developed 500 kg (1102 lbs)or 4.902kN: http://www.luft46.com/junkers/juef126.html// Type: pulse jet Length: 3,350 mm (132 in) Diameter: 813 mm (32.0079 in) Dry weight: 170 kg (375 lb) Thrust: 4.902kN (1102 lbf)"

I have found the parts browser, the cfg's and the various RO/RP1 files I believe I need.

Would someone be able to proof read my cfg and point out the errors, as I am not very experienced at this.

Ok I got them added.

 

As a "everyone note":

They work (DL from curseforge link) in current stock KSP as downloaded.

They are very nice looking, and considering their age, have held up in working/looks very well.
