I checked the KSPedia, but the instructions are pretty scant on how to use these rotors, and some of the screenshots seems to be in Italian. I put some flaps on mine to act as rotor blades and they're freaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerikBalm Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Well, my helo flies on duna too! I'm not getting much over 20 m/s, so I'm going to go for an altitude test. Bah... its only climbing at 3 m/s, 1500 meters so far Edited May 30, 2019 by KerikBalm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josselin2196 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Don't know if it's a bug or not but now i can only choose between vanilla outfit and neon outfit. Russia style outfit is missing from selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klesh Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Are there any stock craft that use any of these parts? I'm having a difficult time figuring out how any of this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I made them liars.... but I need a lot of optimizing to get this thing to travel faster. On the plus side, its easy to fly.

I looked at the KSPedia, and it really didnt help me. I struggled to even figure out how to turn the rotor on; there seems to be no instructions anywhere. What am I doing wrong here? This should be as basic as it gets. When I get this rotor going, everything spins including the rover part bottom. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want the other part of the craft to spin, add another propeller going the other direction. 1 minute ago, klesh said: I don't see a counter rotor on KerikBalm's?

Look up why a helicopter has a tail rotor. Same concept here. Crap load of reaction wheels will probably also work lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iplayksp Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Anybody have a fun craft file I want to see what other people have made with the new parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klesh Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) So I tried this one and it explodes on the runway as soon as I launch the flight? Shakes itself to Oblivion before I even press a button. I feel oh so noobish here. Spoiler In this video, I just spawn the craft and don't press any buttons or turn anything on. Edited May 30, 2019 by klesh added a video to spoiler.

marce Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Was hyped, first thing I tried was a contraption with a lander can on a servo.
