Odd, I tested them and you're right, it looked like malware. I checked double checked the PC, no suspicious programs or anything. It suggested "I" edited the post after around the time I replied last. Which was five days ago. Presumably to change just the download links? What on earth. I changed them back now. Thanks for notifying, I'll report to the mods just in case. Damn, I hope my account here isn't busted or anything.

jh9151 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Wanted to say that I love this mod and all the parts in it. I ask wanted to ask if it is possible for you to make some more contra rotating propellers. maybe one like that looks similar to the P-75 Eagles engine or XP-56 black bullet with it pusher designed one. If that not possible at this time I understand just thought I'd make the request. Keep up the good work.

TonedMite133805 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 How do you make helicopters? Mine keep sliding along the ground and flipping over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if latest APP releases add reaction wheel module to heli propelers. If not, you need to add some strong reaction wheels to craft. It is trick that KAX and K.R.X. use to make it feasible to control craft. It is sort of cheaty way to overcome game engine issues with physic simulation. Also, you need to almost perfectly center main rotor above COM. RCS build aid mod can help a lot with this. And last issue is to be very gentle on throttle. Do not allow for vertical speed exceed more than ~10m/s, otherwise aerodynamic forces step in that flips your craft over. I use personal made kOS script to help me with control of helicopters and other VTOLs. But you may also try TCA mod. TCA works much better if you have more than one vertical rotors, though.

Simpler methods applies, too. Put a tail rotor at the back of tour helicopter. Yesterday (By the time this was first posted), I've made a helicopter without any reaction wheels. All you need is good helicopter piloting skills (I'm only good at fixed-wings, not rotary-wings) and a good control input, achievable using Flight Sim HOTAS flight sticks. Keyboards also doable, but... I advise against using keyboards, since it's hard to control a helicopter using that (That's the pain since I first flew a heli in FSX and still got that in KSP). In FSX, you can use mouse yoke for fine & quick response and input, but in KSP, you might need Flight Simpit kits alongside plugins that make them compatible with KSP. Spoiler Anyone got an idea whether the stock games support these flight simpit controls? If not, is there a plugin to make things compatible? I didn't have a flight simpit or its controls neither.

Starboost88 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I'm wondering if it's possible to make a DB-605 analog, seeing as there's a DB-601 analog in the mod already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonedMite133805 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I think NF Aero has a vertical speed/hover control for their VTOL engines/lift fans. Is there any way to appropriate that or something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way to appropriate that or something similar? The rotors have a option to toggle hover mode on or off so you can, well, hover. It's in the right-click Tweakables menu and you can toggle it inflight via an action group or just right-clicking it. Or do you mean you'd like to have VTOL engines implemented into the mod?

This sounds like a dumb answer but if you have a really heavy aircraft, you won't be able to take-off. Just barely lift yourself about ground ad slide around. 22 hours ago, tonimark said: i am so excited about APU! They are released already by the way... unless I missed the context of this post.

Is there any way to appropriate that or something similar? I haven't tried it, but considering my knowledge so far of Squad and Firespitter, any VTOL or hover system will be a plug-in related thing. So anything similar will require more plug-ins which is already on the FAQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way to appropriate that or something similar? Not NF Aero. What you're thinking of is Kerbal Actuators, part of the Wild Blue Industries mods by @Angel-125 and a direct competitor or replacement to Firespitter for enabling propfan engines. It looks pretty easy to patch Airplane Plus' engines to use this for VTOL so you should totally get on it. ( @blackheart612 has made it clear in in the OP that he's not going to do the patches. Just making the (very large) mod itself is enough fun and trouble for him. If the player wants compatibility badly enough, the player will learn to provide it themselves). (Same thing with Nertea's SSPXr and its many compatibility patches.) 9 hours ago, FahmiRBLXian said: The rotors have a option to toggle hover mode on or off so you can, well, hover.

That right-click menu is called the PAW (Part Action Window) and what you're actually doing is (un)deploying it like a control surface. The engine(s) here very cleverly use the control surface module to rotate with that kind of freedom.

I don't have any modding experience in KSP or otherwise, and only minimal coding experience.

You're right. In fact, it's actually mostly based on Lycoming O-235. It's definitely a mistake because all of my modern engines are named with turboprop and I completely missed it.

Rocketing Racer Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I would like to use this mod with Ferram Aerospace Research but unfortunately the wings do not work correctly with it.

Jognt Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) The OP has this in the FaQ: Quote "I don't want all the parts/I only want certain parts of the mod. I know, it's not a question, but there's a part deleter's guide in the zip itself, you can check it out and see which parts you want and it says there where it is." I can't find this guide in the zip do you have a spare copy laying around by any chance? Edited May 29, 2019 by Jognt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Sorry if I'm replying too late. I'm almost releasing grounded so I'm focused there. The most recent hotpatch was rushed so it's got missing things such as the GameData folder. Hopefully fixed once I get back to APP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
