benjee10 Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 8 hours ago, LawnDartLeo said: Hi, Reeeeeeeeely struggling to make an orbital rendezvous. Yes, control point is set to forward (I read the manual). OMS burns progressively run away on the ball with the blue indicator climbing away very rapidly as I near the end of a burn to an orbit during Hohmann transfer. My ISS anxiously awaits a shuttle crew. The Russians are making a mess of the place because that's the only thing I have been able to dock with so far. Guidance appreciated. When making OMS burns you want the control point set to -15 (in line with the engines), not forward. You can also throttle down towards the end of the burn (or thrust limit the engines) to give the RCS more control authority, or stop the burn early and make a smaller correction burn afterwards.

LawnDartLeo Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 @benjee10, well I guess I read that wrong.... Will report in results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawnDartLeo Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) I'm still flipping out. I'll have to work on it more, later. Soda cans with a nice symmetrical COG are a piece of cake. The shuttle is a bear. Edited July 2, 2020 by LawnDartLeo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda cans with a nice symmetrical COG are a piece of cake. The shuttle is a bear. It is indeed rough. I tried the S-turns thing per the above suggestions and I still spun out and crashed. This particular shuttle didn't have the bailout controller, so it was an LOCV incident. I have a heavily modded game that makes testing difficult, so I'm just going to make a new install with only what I need to test the shuttle, and keep at it until I can actually use it.

LawnDartLeo Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) @DJ Reonic, I am trying to dock, not recover.... ... and I don't particularly care that I am illegally parked. Edited July 2, 2020 by LawnDartLeo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Reonic Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Not sure how I didn't catch that. I saw flipping out and thought reentry. My brain is quite fuzzy as of late with working on an ambulance during a pandemic, so I must've completely missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawnDartLeo Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Is there any particular mod that keeps orbiting bodies as they are intended? I have put the ISS into an attitude that I believe is correct and by the time I am anywhere near it, its completely jiggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbal01 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Works fine in 1.8.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjee10 Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Well folks, somehow it has been a whole year since the release of this mod, and on the same day we've hit 11,000 downloads! To celebrate, here's a small update with some additional parts & fixes for 1.10.0. I've added a bunch of structural tubes sized to fit inside the payload bay, which should increase the flexibility of missions you can fly. I'll be adding to this in the near future, mainly focusing on more payload bay mounting options. SPACEDOCK Worth noting that reDIRECT is not yet updated nor have I tested a full stack in 1.10.0, however this update should be backwards compatible to 1.8+, so you can continue to fly there until other mods are updated. As always please let me know of any issues you find and I'll do my best to fix them. I'll be continuing to tweak the aero as time goes on so any feedback there is appreciated - I've improved it somewhat but it's still a little more squirrelly than it used to be! Enjoy.

Emilius73 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Ever since release this mod has been an amazing experience. Congratulations on your update! These were exactly the parts I would have wanted when flying my missions earlier today. It's great to see that this mod is getting the love it deserves.

NateDaBeast Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Is there any reason the main engines on the shuttle are not receiving any fuel? Or do I need to put a line myself? Also; for whatever reason I cannot click on the right wing. Running on 1.8.1.

Are you using the stock SSMEs or the versions provided by reDIRECT? The stock engines run on liquid fuel while the reDIRECT ones run on liquid hydrogen. For the reDIRECT external tank setup you'll want to use the liquid hydrogen version since that's what the fuel tank contains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do I need to put a line myself? As benjee said, make sure to see if you’re using the right engines as the shuttle runs on LH2/Oxidizer. I’d also add to double check the decoupler and see if crossfeed is enabled as well, I think i ran into that myself when first building out my shuttle stack.

LawnDartLeo Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Good morning and Happy 4th of July. @Emilius73, what filter are you using for the "scale model" appearance. That's awesome! Also... where is everyone getting the Docking port clamps with the 4 round petals? I don't have these and I don't see them in HabTech or BDB which I am guessing would have them.
