More aerospike pics Tweaked surface imperfections, added seam, added segmentation to nozzle (supposed to represent internal piping for regenerative cooling) Also the bigger holes on the top endcap are supposed to be fuel and oxidizer feeds, so I added tiny markings to show which is which (orange for fuel, cryo blue for oxidizer) Now with glow (tweaked the emissive to be slightly more than a simple gradient) Edited February 12, 2021 by OrdinaryKerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a mod yet, and it's a retexture of the ingame aerospike to fit Porkjet plane parts and Restock stuff better And now for something completely different, Guess what this is: Edited February 12, 2021 by OrdinaryKerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdinaryKerman Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) A complaint about Porkjet's aerospike model 2 hours ago, OrdinaryKerman said: aerospike Definitely needs some tweaks to explain the massive amount the model clips into its parent part for some reason (why make it as tall as it is if most of it is sheet metal jammed up inside the tank? I am now fully convinced the aerospike needs a full remodel, not just a retexture. It needs more bulk in the casing and less nozzle since almost every real large-scale aerospike is significantly truncated and not actually pointy like that. Quote Example: Look at the massive blunt end! Even this tiny one is more truncated than the KSP version Sorry for the non-humorous post, I know it's a forum game but I just had to.

OrdinaryKerman Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) I've only been playing since April 2020, but I have a copy of 0.13.2 that I sometimes play for reasons unknown Orbit is the furthest I have gotten, because I absolutely dread the thought of going to the Mun without maneuver nodes Edited February 12, 2021 by OrdinaryKerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdinaryKerman Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 2 hours ago, OrdinaryKerman said: Unlike the original, this one is 1.875m wide so it can conceivably fit 2 kerbals unlike the old Mk1 which magically fit 3, and the current Mk1 which only fits 1. I have named it the Mk0-7 (0-7 from 0.7.3), suggestions for better names are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman.Spiff Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 @OrdinaryKerman The aerospike is modelled after the Toroidal Aerospike. Technically it should be more pointy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Non-truncated_toroidal_aerospike_nozzle.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdinaryKerman Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) @Spaceman.Spiff I know. The J-2T is also a toroidal aerospike. It's also the only large toroidal aerospike that I know of, so I thought maybe the T-1 in KSP should have been based on that instead of the Aerobee-size tiny thing you showed me. I have seen that picture many times. Basically all aerospikes intended to fly, linear or toroidal, like the RS-2200 and J-2T and that Firefly model earlier, are all truncated.

IMO the truncated design wouldn't look very good at that size. I think that SQUAD went with that design because it was a small aerospike, and it looks quite cool.

OrdinaryKerman Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) I just decided to model my truncated aerospike concept (the T-2) for some reason, will be ready tomorrow. oh wait THIS_IS_A_POST<STOP> Edited February 12, 2021 by OrdinaryKerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman.Spiff Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Did you make a whole new model, or did you edit the stock one? Also how did you do the little mini nozzles? It's quite impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
