I love what you've done with this mod btw it's amazing. Why not just use the Cargo BFS and fill the cargo bay with Kerbodyne tanks? Recoverable fairings?

Not a bad idea except I really want to have a Butt to Butt docking. I have also tried doing that and you can't dock the cargo bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that That's actually 3 BFS plus a F9 core booster attached to a Mun station You can do it with the BFS stack decoupler - it is also a docking port. The only little problem is, it's somehow upside down - so when you do "control from here", anti-target is your actual target. A little annoying, especially if you are using e.g. the docking port alignment mod, but nothing dramatic.

I found the problem and it has been fixed thanks to @JadeOfMaar. I will update it somewhere later this week with some small improvements to the fairings.

Barzon Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 @damonvv if you add parachutes to the Rodan could you add a notch above the hatch for a parachute part to go in? Like this: Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natokerbal Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Is the Second stage tank supposed to explode when the new fairing separates. Just FYI its around 45,000-50,000m with the second stage engine running. Thanks in advance, I love the mod.

infinite_monkey Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Is the mass of the F9 fairings and attachment point realistic? It adds quite a lot... Also, the BFR booster command pod is more massive than the BFS cargo pod. Is this intentional? Right now I'm trying to make a SpaceX-style Duna mission. First obstacle: The BFS crew hatch is pretty high up. How do I get them to the ground? And how do I bring cargo to the ground? Sure, I could have everything in the cargo pod in orbit and use a sky crane to bring everything to the surface, but that's not SpaceX style, is it? Any ideas?

FutureMartian97 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Am I doing something wrong? Because when I try and dock two BFS's together they just bounce off and never connect. Using the Pre-Built ones btw Edited June 10, 2018 by FutureMartian97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechJeb's Landing Autopilot might work, or alternatively you can do what I do with my first and second stages (I've fitted recovery hardware to both) and just dump them into the atmosphere whilst not focused on them, and let Stage Recovery's powered recovery take care of the rest.

Damon Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 After F9 is done, which it is in the next little patch that will come out tonight, I will start fully revamp BFS/BFR. Meaning probably a new model, textures, IVA, handling. Lots to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Tundra Exploration version 1.1.3.1 is out! - Fixed Gigan RCS FX - Fixed fairing colliding with 2nd stage - Updated .craft files - Added version checker to Tundra Technologies for the future.Get it here!
