It could be a multi-node shroud thingy instead of a separate part, would cut down on parts at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Pioneer 10 (On which Quetzal is based) did not have any sort of shroud like that, I'd rather make it a new part. To prevent confusion when making the Pioneer 10 build using my parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hi there, I was pointed here from the #RO channel based on the Imgur album. Have to say, really nice parts! I think we're going to get an RO config for this pack pretty soon and I was wondering if you have any interest in providing more accurate RCS clusters for the Fregat? I understand, or can make an educated guess, why you modeled them the way you did, but AFAIK no one else has made these clusters and it would be fantastic to use accurate replicas, like these: Obviously they'd require two more models, each with a single roll thruster, rather than the dual roll thrusters you have now. Looking forward to using the pack (regardless of your answer, some great parts here!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are actually some RO configs already, although updates are needed, but I think @Phineas Freak was working on some. I'd be happy to tweak the Fregat nozzles. It's the wrong size, so tweaks were coming soon anyway. I need to make it larger diameter, but first I need to model a new Russian service module to replace its size and function.

Yea, i have been working on them since...ever. Life, the seer amount of parts and the lack of sources about some of them are not helping either... Something else that i noticed: the Voyager Propulsion module RCS only has a "spin-up" capability and not full roll control (you can roll it in one direction but not the other). The Voyager Backgrounder mentions: Quote "Four 22.5 N (5 lb.) thrust engines provided roll control." In my mind that means four RCS thrusters, shifted 45 degrees from the normal cardinal positions, all facing inwards (rotating two of the existing outwards pointing thrusters by 180 degrees achieves that). Edit: i am a derp, i did not check the RCS exhausts carefully enough... Edited May 3, 2017 by Phineas Freak Derp... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lajoswinkler Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I've ditched DMagic because of this, after long push-me-pull-you. It's one of the best mods I saw and now I'm stuck to it. However, there are few problems. I can't deploy the magnetometers and RPWS. There is no button for that when you right click them. Amd I doing something wrong?

The problem is you ditched DMagic... So, in order to not belittle DMagic's original work writing the code to make these experiments, my parts only provide you with an alternate model for his experiments. They still need the original experiment to work. Think of my parts as an extension to DMagic's Orbital Science Mod, not a replacement. If you install DMOS back, my parts will work fine again. Cheers!

I have a saved parts directory from DMOS that I move in once I install PP to trim them out as well. If you do a lot of this you might take a look at Janitor's Closet since it allows you to both prune or hide and anything hidden can always be restored later...

You can try this, I edit the file to use them also with out DMagic parts don't know why there set to use his plugin has they can be changed to use ModuleAnimateGeneric if you still want the experiment you just need the Resources folder think it was out of Dmagics folder hope it helps Spoiler @PART[ca_RPWS] { -MODULE[DMModuleScienceAnimate] {} MODULE { name = ModuleAnimateGeneric animationName = deploy isOneShot = false startEventGUIName = Deploy RPWS endEventGUIName = Retract RPWS actionGUIName = Toggle RPWS allowAnimationWhileShielded = False } } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to post any feedback on any parts as you play through the game. On separate news, I should be hitting full speed modding again pretty soon. For those that are new to the thread, I have a number of projects I am now involved in that I will be working on a little bit ahead of ProbesPlus and then simultaneously now also including the SSTL Satellite mod. However, I do intend to get a patch out soon to fix any issues of the last release. Please log any issues you find with the latest release to Github or give me feedback here. I will likely not be adding any new parts on this patch, just bug fixes. ~cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
