At the moment it is impossible to flip around even with rcs as the gimbal is not strong enough. Will it have realplume at some point? Yes, we have tried get Gojira as realistic to BFR as possible. But we will change some things so it's easier for users to fly it. For the realplume, you should read some of it here http://www.nakka-rocketry.net/th_2phf.html If you talk about the plume. Gojira supports RealPlume/SmokeScreen. If you talk about why it doesn't have a trail. The reason you don't see a trail is because liquid engines don't have much two phase flow. Meaning liquid engines have better combustion. That's why you don't really notice the trail. But I highly recommend to read the link I provided.

TachyonGMZ Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 @damonvv The plume looks like the stock teardrop plume shape even though I have realplume installed. Is that due to using ckan? How am I supposed to realistically reenter the bfr in duna's atmosphere. I am currently using 6.4x rescale and smurff do you think lowering the mass from smurff has made it harder to turn due to it being lighter so its weight cant push through the air? When I hyperedit to duna orbit the ground looks jagged like it isnt loading properly. I know that is nothing to do with you but I was wondering if you knew why, is it due to hyperediting so fast it cant load fast enough?

Oh well, I think that must be some bug on Realplume/SmokeScreen side. A lot of times if you use the Dragon capsule and you want to re-enter. You don't see the plumes anymore. Not sure if I can fix that myself. Also, I don't think BFR will work in a 6.4x rescale. It was designed to be in stock or 2.5 scale at max. As soon as we get the stock version more balanced. I can look at other rescale factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TachyonGMZ Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 @damonvv I use smurff to make stock parts work in rescale It decreases tank and fuel weight I think and I wanted to know if a lower mass would make it harder to reenter properly. Is it supposed to go tailfirst in real life? Do you plan on USI life support or any life support recycling compatibility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a video of how it should re-enter. Sadly this is much harder to do in KSP. My way of doing it is trail first. It's the only way I can land the BFS in the current state without tipping over and going nose first. But for the update that will come this week we will balance it more so it flies better. And yes, I forgot about the recycle LS part. Will add that too. Edited December 27, 2017 by damonvv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TachyonGMZ Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 @damonvv Sorry to complain again but could you make the gojira stack decoupler be staged because at the moment it is not counted as a decoupler in the staging sequence.

Vanamonde Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 If you think the other mod is better, go use it. But please do not come to this thread just to dump on it. People work hard on these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TachyonGMZ Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 On the engine with the two modes for the gojira launcher the gimbals are swapped. In the landing mode there is no gimbal as only the outer gimbal works, I think the center ones are supposed to gimbal not the outer ones. Don't worry damonvv, as much as I nitpick I still love this mod and others do too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TachyonGMZ Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) Would you be able to make a gojira passenger and cargo command module texture option without the heat shield so they can be added to other parts and not just the premade fuel tanks?

SpaceBliss Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I can't get the Gojira command pod's docking port to work without extra mods, could/would you make it so that both Cargo and Passenger Gojiras can dock tail to tail?

Aha I see, yeah this mod currently doesn't support RSS as long as BFR is still not fully ready for stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
