I think there's plenty of aircraft that do that anyway already. You could probably do it with a plugin or something if you REALLY wanted to. If it isn't possible, you still can compensate by adding reaction wheel authority to force the bottom of the rocket down for landing.

Kerbal isn't a hardcore sim anyway. I assume this system is meant for minor course corrections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceMouse Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Looked at the video. You could PROBABLY due the individual wing articulation as airbrakes, since that's essentially what there functioning as. or you could just cheat and use a reaction wheel. :shrugs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will we have to wait longer for that? Depends, I will probably put everything on GitHub so you guys can test while I make the IVA.

No save breaking, but you will not be able to select the old parts in the vab. Old crafts still work but will probably break in a distant future update, so better to land them back and upgrade haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceMouse Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Did SpaceX mention how there powering it? Looks like there huge solar panels will have to change. Edited September 20, 2018 by SpaceMouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieC Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Me-thinks the precise nature of the new craft's solar panels (such as their position on the vehicle and their exact deployment/retraction pattern) have yet to be revealed.

They even made the solar arrays look like the Japanese fan things. A real spaceship is a proper sci-fi spaceship. It just needs a reactor and electric thrusters.

Quoniam Kerman Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) And a warp drive of course ! I guess that the front windows could be made in transparent aluminum, couldn't they, Scotty?

Nessus_ Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 @damonvv Thank you so much for doing this (so quickly), the model already looks amazing, I can't wait to try this in KSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinite_monkey Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I doubt the gigantic front windows will be in the final version, but damn, this looks gorgeous! You only need to put them high enough so they don't get destroyed by the other ship's fins when refuelling. Or will the fins be the docking parts? Will you make your own solar panels this time, @damonvv? I keep burning up the ones from NFS during reentry They need to retract into the vessel somehow.

Starwaster Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 @damonvv Are the fins actually integrated into the model or are they separate parts? I would think making it all one part would make it impossible for the fins to be independently controlled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back part with integrated wing “holders” for the design flow, and 3 different wings for each side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infinite_monkey Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hmm, I didn't like the look of the new BFR at first, but now... The Dragon capsule looks a bit oblong/pointy, or is that just the perspective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
