Thank goodness this is back. I was really worried when my link to this mod's thread stopped working. I thought something horrible may have happened to one of my all-time favorite mods. I'm glad I was mistaken and that it is still alive and well, or at least merely dormant rather than dead.

I guess the up-side is -- you were popular enough to be on the front page. :wink:

Yeah, I'm not too thrilled that 1800 posts were lost.  At least I was able to restore the OP from web cache.

Two things I notied with the T100 Turboprop:

  • I hear the engine sounds even before the engines are actually staged.
  • The engines produce thrust in their spinup animation when throttled up.

Version: KAX v2.6.4 for KSP 1.2.2

Those (I think both issues) are common to Firespitter (from whence nearly all props in mods come from). It would be great to have a far more gradual spool-up time similar to jet engines. Maybe that's just up to a proper config?

Don't leave us, bro! We need Osprey rototors, rotatable engine naccels, double heavy rotors, new electric engine, ore powered turbojets (to fly on Eve, Duna and Jool) and much more! We need you, Keptin. Turn back and we will open new horizons of KSP!

Bumer to hear KAX is in a stall currently. But KRX has some Osprey rotors if you are still looking.

We hate to see you go @keptin but we sure do appreciate everything you did for us. - Thanks

Does anybody know, how KAX have SFX properly working in both stereo channels and ALL OTHER Firespitter - based mods have SFX in right channel only? (I tried SXT, Airplanes Plus, KSO Vehicles)

May be those can be fixed the same way   KAX is fixed?

Never mind - found this post

Hey guys is it my imagination or just wishful thinking but I remember the jump jets having the option to rotate 90 degrees. You know... kind of like the harrier where the jets point down then rotate aft. For some reason I remember it having that option but now it does not.  Sorry for sounding nuts. :P

The nozzles? I don't recall them ever doing that without being attached to an IR rotatron.
