[1.1.3][WIP] EJF Eve Jet Flying - Dev and discussion

[Marzl]

Hi, this is the development and discussion topic for the EJF - Eve Jet Flying mod.

The mod is not yet released, so stay tuned for updates...

EJF allows you to fly jets on Eve (and Duna) in a way that makes - at least some - sense technologically and is not too overpowered hopefully.

The idea is to have an air intake that harvests carbon dioxide from Eve atmosphere and splits it up using (a lot of) electrical power. The produced oxygen is then fed back to the air stream thus the jet engines will be able to burn fuel and produce trust.

Should work with any stock or mod jet engine that needs intake air to operate.

Flying on Eve is pretty easy, due to the dense atmosphere you reach much higher altitude before the engines flame out. Flying on Duna is quite the opposite, you need moar intakes and moar lifting surface or you will crash in to the next hill.

Contained Parts

• Oxidizer Intake Mk1 (requires "Aerospace Tech" in career mode)

Roadmap

• Prepare initial release.
• Upload stuff on GitHub.
• Add an inline air intake.

Known Issues

• When having multiple intakes and energy runs out sometimes only the first activated resource harvester is automatically deactivated.

 

DOWNLOAD LINK

I have not yet released EJF, have to get permission for using an intake model from Karbonite first.

But stay tuned for updates...
