Why do you still guess?

[Jaybtlr]

Here is my reference image for the NEXUS.

Dont forget "...I will release cygnus tomorrow...". I plan on holding you to those words. lol.

[Netris]

I don't know about you, but for me it's tomorrow

[LaydeeDem]

Well. The solar panels glitch like crazy when imported into Unity. :/

Do you guys want a release without the solars?

[Netris]

I don't know about the others, but I have plenty of solar panels so it's not a problem if you release it without them and fix them later.

Here is my reference image for the NEXUS.

I'd like to get my pre-order in now for three of those, with future options for nine more, please.

[godzilla7]

It would be amazing if you could release tomorrow! Then just update as the vehicle progresses. That way everyone wins!

[LaydeeDem]

Oh shoot I fell asleep. Anyways, here's the alpha release:

PROJECT CYGNUS ALPHA RELEASE

Included is the Cygnus parts and also a .craft file.

Known Issues:

RCS block attaches sideways.

RCS is wonky in general

Yes I know some parts are missing. This is an alpha release.

Got it You'll get my first impression right after my early morning gaming session ^^

EDIT : Everything seems fine to me. I don't know what glitchy with the solar panels, they work fine in my game. The only little problem I encountered is sometimes I don't the RCS when pushing the button even if it works.

1. Those are the stock solar panels. I didn't include the Cygnus ones yet because they are completely broken.

2. I'm guessing I didn't put enough thrustTransform gameobjects on my RCS thruster. I'll try to fix this tonight.

For RCS transforms you should have the Y axis facing the direction of thrust, rather than the Z one. I've no idea if that's the issue you're having but it had me stuck before until Borklund pointed it out to me.

Oh really? I thought it was blue pointing in the direction of thrust like you do for engines. Thank you!

That's why ^^ Otherwise, it looks great and fly really gently. Good job Mr. Nutt

[Netris]

Didn't you say you'll work on the ATV for the ISS project ?

[LaydeeDem]

Yeah that too. Right now I'm stuck looking for useful reference images. i.e. size and dimensions, 2d drawings.

[B787_300]

you want ATV images and dimensions?
