NESD's warehouse (9 oct 22 - New mod "SpikeX")

[NESD]

 

Now it's my new place for all mini mods, betas, previews e.t.c., to collect it all in one place, so let's begin

 

Internal RCS (KSP 1.4+)

Updated to V1.2

 

This mod add RCS thrusters that can be placed inside base part

1 - Monopropellant and Lf+Ox RCS thrusters and Engines with adjustable nozzle cut ( 90,75,60,45,30 and15 degrees ) .

Available with single nozzle and in clusters (up to 5 in row)

2 - Small internal SRB, for stage deorbiting (also small decoupler to use it as JATO booster )

3 New - A tiny G-Mini RCS based on Gemini`s Reentry Control System

4 New - "OmniThrust" modules that provide movement and rotation in all directions, available as single block

or in assemblies for all stock KSP sizes ( except Mk-2 )

supported TweakScale and Restock`s part holes

Restock and Waterfall effects now supported

(Waterfall patch made by  @snkiz )

 

Unnecessary RCS and Engines can be hidden with MM patches, you can find it inside (KSP folder)/GameData/InternalRCS/Patches/HideIt.zip

Surface Attachable Control  ( KSP 1.4 +  )

Another my small mod, that help you launch asymmetrical vessels like USA Shuttle with thrust vector not aligned to main control axis.

Now you can freely change control direction to any angle (not only front-top-back, like in new KSP1.7 cockpit settings) and fly exact to prograde at any strange vessels

Just place small, surface attachable control node everywhere on your vessel, rotate it to any position and then select it as control point

 

Control part have 6 variants for 6 sides, and can be placed almost on every side of vessel,

also it simple and very cheap so you can place it as many as you want, for every stage of flight and switch it via hotkeys or external mods

 

Even if you don't make strange and weird rockets, this part is a simple and cheap remote control module

so you easily can add control to any vessel that don't need SAS abilities like rovers or aircrafts,

or add self de-orbiting abilities to dropped rocket stages

This mod also have SAS module, Reaction wheel, Battery and Science recorder in similar style

so you can make full featured satellite from almost every part

 

( Note!  for better aligning of control part, place it on UPPER surface of vessel, then chose variant and move it to desired position )

KeR-7

This mod add some parts to expand Making History DLC:

Two upper stage engines, central tank and control wing.

Both engines have grid support with fire shield as fairing, similar to original one,

fuel tank can hide decoupler on upper side for better view

Color schemes compatible with reStock mod, and slightly different than stock one

Update 1.1

New parts for Vostok spaceship + RK111 engine with its own launchpad

Stock TKS

This mod add some parts and modify stock Mk1-3 pod  (it`s copy, off course)

So you can make TKS style reentry pods with bottom crew access and without built-in RCS

Connected Living Spaces supported

ReStock supported, any other model/texture replacers NOT !

 

-- SPACEDOCK --

 

ASSET Mk-1

It`s a crewable version of ASSET test vehicle, that built around stock Mk1 pod IVA.

only 2 parts with 3 color schemes and some switchable details

if you don`t like landings on mountain slopes

Update 1.0

Parachute and ablator

SpikeX supersonic project

6-seats, 1.25m cockpit with modern "Glass and plastic" SpaceX-ihs style interior

Set of wings, some of them have flat area, that can be used to attach wheels, engines and other stuffs

Tiny airbrake that have variants to fit 1.25, 1.875, 2.5 or flat surface

two engines for monopropellant or dual fuel (because Thud and Puff not working well in SSTOs)

Small solar panel and antenna, that looks much better on aircrafts than stock one, and have less air drag

Modular 0.625 nacelle that can be used as dual tailbooms

And two attach rings for stock 1.25m docking ports, that add them additional attach node on top (even for shielded one)

version for simple port have small fairing around it that give them better visual style

Tweak scale, Connected living spaces and Waterfall supported

This mod also support various fuel switchers, B9 by default but you can find other variants

inside Other_Fuel_Switchers archive in Patches folder

new mod

[Wyzard]

Internal RCS is pretty cool and I'm glad to see an update to it.  However, there doesn't seem to be a download link in the OP.

Link to download. 

[NESD]

ohh, SORRY is my fault, add it

[Hemco]

I see that the engines give increased thrust as more nozzles are added (e.g. LF1 engine gives 2KN thrust and LF2 gives 4KN thrust) but the RCS thrusters only give a flat thrust (e.g. LF1 RCS and LF2 RCS both give 3 TP).  Can you make it so that the higher nozzle count RCS thrusters give more thrust?  Right now it's just for looks to use a multiple thruster part.

Can you double-check that?  I know at one point in the VAB KSP would report a number for the RCS - but that number was per-thrust-transform.  So a multi-nozzle would report the same number, but if all the nozzles were in the same direction that you'd get that number*number of nozzle.

Ah.  I didn't actually check the thrust (stupid me), I just assumed the item description in VAB was accurate, based on the number of outputs like the engines.  KSP does some weird things.  It actually does increase.

[DStaal]

No problem.  It actually makes sense - once you realize that in most RCS blocks each thrust transform is pointing in a different direction.  So each having their own thrust is perfectly logical...

[Drew Kerman]

awesome timing with these new parts @NESD! Perfect SRB for me to use to scale down and clip into the stock LES tower so I have better control over the motors. No more flip-happy capsule aborts!

[sibaar]

Just me or is this new update difficult to use? Not fun having to realign every port manually. The older version, it aligned automatically.

 

Also, any chance you could use the same plume from vanilla parts?

[Scialytic]

Thanks for making this.

I noticed a typo/bug in RcsMp4.cfg: line 191 sets the MP4 RCS unit's vacuum ISP to 70 instead of 270 like the other MP# RCS.

[DriftedCougar]

@NESD The "Swift" Cockpit seems to be missing in A.P.U.S....

[NESD]

@sibaar  unfortunately Squad's part switcher can't rotate thrust vector so it's only way to pack all angle variants to one part,

also aligning rcs to part surface is not good idea, better check its rotation in Absolute mode and align it to 3 axies and then move to desired position,

otherwise your  vessel be like new Nertea cokpits .  Don' know about plume, stock one looks very small compared to real

look here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scGc1NS_IV8      after 3.00  Soyuz RCS working at full thrust due misaligned approach and plumes longer than whole ship

 

@Scialytic  yes, confirm it, will be fixed

 

@DriftedCougar  Just create APUS thread

"Swift" WITH nose not exist, if you search them, in command section must be only 2 cockpits and tail

Already align in absolute mode and move it on 3 axis manually. Works best this way.

Regarding the plumes, I meant it would be nice for consistency if you used the same rcs plumes as stock.

Thank you for that video btw! RCS shots irl are magnificent!

[cineboxandrew]

Hey, if you wanted to give the RCS a real interior instead of just a black cover this might be useful:

NEW MOD ADDED

Hope it can be helpful

 

@cineboxandrew  that's look really cool, need to make some experiments

There's already a mod called that. Can you rename it?

https://spacedock.info/mod/1298

[NESD]

@HebaruSan  Renamed

sorry for my mistake

[sibaar]

I use restock. Why is the plume from restock and stock so different?

[MaxPeck]

I seriously like the Surface Attachable Control parts.  They really work, especially with satellites, when you want to keep them low-profile, like a cubesat.  My only wishlist item/request is for the face plates to actually do something functional.  No matter what, the displays don't change.  Turn off the SAS module, it still says active.  The battery indicator never changes.  Maybe you could figure out a way to integrate with the Indicator Lights mod to add some functionality?  

Nonetheless, this is a definite keeper in the collection!  Thanks!

[Vince_K]

someone have try rcs in 1.8.1? or any plan to update this?

[NESD]

@Vince_K  Update for IRCS almost ready, just need some bugfixes.

Added support for part holes from Restock and Depth mask (auto adjusted via MM, depending on installed, or not,  mods)

also included new parts:  Tiny RCS thruster based on Gemini`s Reentry Control system (not clustered),

and single part omnidirectional movement and rotation system for all stock sizes (except Mk2 and 5 meters)

 

 

And yes, Hello everyone and sorry for long time not being here and not writing anything

ho yeah! they are beautiful now! Thank you! I really like this little mod.

[NESD]

UPDATED TO 1.2

New OmniThrust and G-Mini modules + minor redesign of other parts

Restock and Depth Mask now supported, mods auto detected,

so if you don`t have it, you can see black cap, if installed you can see internal nozzles (MM required)

OmniThrust modules available as single block or as assemblies for all stock KSP diameters (except Mk-2)

0.625 and 1.25 also have small version. Single module have Left and Right version

so they must be placed in two pairs to compensate each other

(unfortunately I still can`t deal with KSP mirroring, so you can better use Radial simmetry instead of Mirror)

New tiny G-Mini RCS based on Gemini`s thrusters and can be used on very small satellites

[Corax]

Thanks for the internal RCS thrusters.

Is there any specific reason for their (comparatively) high I_sp? Stock monopropellant RCS have 240, versus yours at 270–I don't have a problem with having to write my own MM patch to fix it for my own instance, just wanted to know the rationale behind it.
