Hello, sorry if this topic has already been discussed ...

I have a problem with the Crew Dragon Trunk ... the button for opening the umbilical does not appear ...

with the Dragon 2 Cargo Trunk this is available ... couldn't find anything in the cfg's either, both are identical at that point ... a short feedback would be nice best regards and continue with your great mod's

i use KSP 1.10.1

Hello,

I think that @Kartoffelkuchen the mod author, can explain that.

Hello,

I am not sure if you are using the (https://github.com/pmborg/SpaceX-RO-Falcons) or not, if that is the case can you upload some photos, or add more information?

Today I ran a general set of tests in all Falcon Family and all are fine. I re-tested again now, the Crew dragon 2, PMBORG RO (version) and all is ok, here.

From a few minutes ago:

hey @pmborg, will you be considering adding RealPlume to the engines?

What about divide this in two parts, you provide the configs, and I will add them in RO part after some adjustments... ?

I never had done it before.

Actually, the plumes are in RO but since your configs change the name of the engines they are not applied

(the default RO configs for this mod do apply the engine plumes however)

as you can see here:
https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealismOverhaul/tree/master/GameData/RealismOverhaul/RealPlume_Configs/KK Launchers  (engine plumes)
https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealismOverhaul/tree/master/GameData/RealismOverhaul/RO_SuggestedMods/KK Launchers  (part configs)

Interesting I think that when I am adding the RO performance part, indirectly I am removing them, I was not aware of that...

Thanks I will check it!

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Realplume configs would be amazing indeed! Unfortunately I won't be of any help but I hope you two can figure it out!

@pmborg Thank you for all your effort so far! I was just seeing the latest video and I saw that the Superdracos seem to have a high spoolup time of like 2-3s. In real life, they react very quickly since they are needed for abort scenarios, could you change that?

Hello @Kartoffelkuchen,

Thanks!

That period of 2-3 seconds I am using RCS to put the Crew Dragon 2 on the correct position and then trigger the Superdraco engines, they don't have spoolup time, they respond immediately, or at least they should, I will also check it.

Hello @Kartoffelkuchen, could you add a link to the RealPlume configs for this mod?

@kylelander @Kartoffelkuchen

Hello,

I found the source of the problem it was related with the order:

The SpaceX-RO-Falcons configs were loaded before realplume and the default configs need to be applied  after those patches.

The fix is done, here locally, I will check it deeper, in order to check if there are side effects, and after that I will commit the fix, later...

Commited.

Also a GSO deploy here with FH and after adding RealPlume:

In Merlin1DV++ the RealPlume is cool but on Merlin1D++ is worst I think...

This is a real image:

This is with default effects: T

This is with RealPlume:

To be honest I don't like none of the plume animations... exception for Vacuum version which have better effects in RealPlume.

I will check what I can do.

 

I just changed some magic numbers and got:

Looks much better \

Also @pmborg you should try using the plumes from Tundra Exploration, they look the most realistic in my opinion

@Kartoffelkuchen I have a problem with the crew dragon trunk, it decouples from the crew dragon and heatshield is there a way to fix this. I use the stock size NOT the RO size.

Hello!

Those little changes (about plume settings) were commit on

(https://github.com/pmborg/SpaceX-RO-Falcons) along with a new version of FH craft, but only in internal parts, not seen from outside:

Can your ISS support 1.10x？

The ISS craft model use the mod: NewTantares-v18.0 and there are two parts not supported in KSP1.10.x ht2_radiatorTriple and ht2_solarArray_duo that is the reason.

Which are the Big Solar Panels I don't have a good replacement for them in KSP1.10.

Well, we'll have to wait for HabTech2 to update.

How about this one?

Hello All,  I have read and researched the best I could but for the life of me I cant figure out how to dock then crew dragon, there is something with the  dragon docking port I am not understanding I know you can extend and retract it,  Am i missing something simple?? Yes I have opened the nose before trying..    Yea I figured it out,  but Im under review for being  new and cant delete this post lol

SSTU may be a good replacement

Hello and the Falcons have Landed...

• Thanks for the suggestion but meanwhile, I found two solutions to that, I need to explore both, I will re-visit this subject soon, maybe next week or so.
• For now I am focus on finish the Falcon Heavy Profile, specially the simultaneous landings of the two side boosters (I am close... ) and preparing a big commit for that, which will solve problems like, extend physics allow multiple parts of mission fly at same time, etc...
• Which will allow to watch the landing of a booster and switch to ST-2 and... upss.. almost in orbit...

First Dual/Simultaneous Landing: (still on development...)
