Believe it or not, it is exactly the size of an F22. It's only upscaled plus I added about 1/8 of its original size to convert it to Mk1. -- Also, life's too short to let people figure out what's in that gif. Only B9 pulled this off so you may think it's that but it used plug-ins. Because KSP gimbals are cursed to be unable to be locked on a certain axis alone. Had to use some dirty tricks. Doesn't mean it's perfect but it works. Edited March 22, 2017 by blackheart612 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the gimbal is 20 degrees, fixed on one axis. Much like the real engine, and just as much as KSP's vectoring afterburner (KSP's Panther can vector in all directions). The configs are far from done but it's designed to be even more powerful than the Panther. It's supposed to be capped to a slower, saner, supersonic speed though (not yet implemented). In conclusion, although mobility is the same, the power of this engine will be signficantly more powerful in general but will diminish a lot quicker than the Panther, it might help slow down while pointing upwards, may or may not help if you aim to do a pugachev.

Just wasn't able to post. It's already implemented, though thanks, still. It did perform just as much as the dirty trick I did. The problem with fixed gimbals such as this is that it can't correct itself in prolonged pitching. If you immelmann turn for example it rolls away (left or right) at some point and you can't perfectly turn back. So you need to actually have the main wings pitch as well instead of just the rear ailerons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qromodynmc Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) @blackheart612 Looks quite nice, so is it possible for me to get early access to it so i can help you to improve it. Also, there is something in my mind, i want to recommend if you plan to implement something new to your patch; This kind of engine would be cool in this pack imo, I used to make planes like this with help of infernal robotics but it's not updated officially yet and i really dont want to dig deep into tweaking old mods. I'd like to hear from other people about this if they're interested or not. Edited March 22, 2017 by qromodynmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskandare's KRX has the rotors themselves so an all-in-one part would be nice. And for the record, IR works just fine in 1.2.2. I didn't have to do any tweaking, it worked right out of the gate.

Really? I heard it had issues with autostrut and possibly KJR. If anyone using it atm, i'd be happy to hear how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackheart612 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 @qromodynmc I think @Angel-125 is developing a plugin to manage engines like that. I can do this in stock. Hold my water bottle. @Murican_Jeb I have no idea as of now how to mirror left and right in the SPH/VAB. That's another thing to know for that. Because the gears are assymetric. I do also recommend Kerbal Foundries if you want to have ALG which pretty much does what you want already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
