That said, I'm not quite as picky where I'm landing mine - provided it comes down in the vicinity of KSC, I'm not that fussed No BFR breakages, but I have once had the BFS break after what I thought was a pretty soft landing (I'll see if I can replicate this). The legs on the BFS jiggle loads though, even when autostrutted, to the point that it sometimes walks across the surface so much that recovery and saving is disabled. Expand I may know why it breaks. Will test if the collider has something to do with clipping from the engine fairing to the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it this way - you've gone to the GP, but you've insisted on shutting the doctor in a different consulting room to the you, without a clinical history, and you're asking them to diagnose you anyway.

Starwaster Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 @Eaten by Black Hole If you're going to be stubborn and obstinate then how do you expect people to help you? You don't have a Gigan, other people do. So obviously there's nothing wrong with the mod in general... and something IS wrong with your installation... but nobody here has the first clue what is wrong because you won't provide requested information.

I noticed the solar panels on the Pill pod seem to be inverted - they produce power only when the sun is on the flat side. And I wanted to test the grappling legs prior to send my probe actually to an asteroid. They don't seem to want to attach to anything. Expand Interesting on the lander, will have a look! Expand I just did a test mission - it grabs to the asteroid just fine. I wonder why it didn't work for resource lodes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinite_monkey Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I didn't use the F9 for a while, as well as its kOS landing script. Now that I tested it again, it fails on engine:TOGGLEMODE. Looking at the config file of the F9 booster engine, it seems that available modes depend on KerbalActuators. I didn't have that installed previously. Any idea how switching between the 3 modes works in kOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Been a little sick past week. Haven't done as much as I wanted to. But!!!! They actuate! And they move the drag/lift around! It actually works! Thanks to @Stone Blue for the tip. I will but another beta out tomorrow so you can play with this yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Musks's mission profilestays as stated last month, when artists go around the moon, they'll be terrifed on reentry, knowing that the ship will be fully automated, just spectators.

Nessus_ Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) So, I got the RealPlume configs working and added plumes to the Raptor SL engine and the BFB engine cluster. The default plumes looked amazing , but they didn't expand in vacuum, so I added Hydrolox plumes and made them a little more red and "flamy". If you want to try it, here are my complete RO configs for the 2018 BFR: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DGrzOa6sgHp2y2pmTUkg94H8Nr_YAWk5.

Would you be willing to make a config based of @JadeOfMaars plume he made for BFR, and make a config that works with smokescreen so it actually expands in vac in stock scale? That would be amazing!

Expand Changing the size is pretty easy, maybe the engine scale also affects the position of the plume a little bit, but changing the SmokeScreen config to match the stock engine vs the 180% scaled RSS Raptor engine is a matter of minutes. Most of the work will be to find good values for the plume grow from sea level to vacuum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
