How do you get the RAT inside of the D.R.O.P at launch?

A newbie eh? you attach the RAT using object edit in the VAB.

I am pleased to announce some future updates.

After a long time thinking about the concepts, data collection, I decided to make some changes to existing projects.

First. Im still working on HOME Gen2 pack. This need a lot work now...but still in WIP

Second. Im totaly relaunch DEMVs series.

Now we have 6 similar DEMVs. My first DEMV1 , big cargo DEMV2 , Experemental 2 wheel DEMV3EX , fast DEMV 4 and DROP platform, small "chekbox" DEMV5 , and non released DEMV6.

Its too much rovers ))) In next generation DEMV Gen 2 series content 3-4 rovers pack.

1. DEMV Mk1 . Symbiosis "old gold" DEMV1 and DEMV2. Little smaller DEMV2 but more modular. Now can attach special robocrane arm, living module , lab or inflatable living quartes.

2. DEMV Mk2 . Old RAT and DROP system (and also non released ADROP) in new models, texture and configs

3. DEMV Mk3 . Small deployable rover. Analog DEMV 5 but new features etc.

Now All rovers fits to new Jool V fairings and HOME2 dockports.

Third. Totaly remake JoolV Launcher and MPSS Nautilus

New models and texture for Jool and new parts for MPSS.

AWESOME!!!

Really excited about HOME Gen2! And I really enjoy the MPSS pack, so happy to hear its getting an overhaul.

Kinda sounds like if there was wasn't a demv for a job before there will be one now. The demv2 with crane sounds very useful to me =P

I'm sure its all going to be brilliant! Cant wait(figuratively)

Excellent, I look forward to your new developments! I'm particularly excited for HOME-2 and MPSS!

[Itsdavyjones]

MPSS overhaul... Awwwwyaaaa.

[toril]

mpss and home2 nice heads up

[Annoyingorbits]

ummm, i only understood a few words of that, but it was enough!

[BobCat]

Im update all rovers to next generation.

New models, new textures, new design... all simply.

Im make "old style" new modular rovers.

Smaaaall intel , this WIP new DEMV 1 crew section

[Itsdavyjones]

Sweet, can't wait. But all good things come to those that wait....

[Moon Goddess]

Ooo I like the texturing. The gritty worn look.

[Tommygun]

I always prefer a worn texture, as it often gives the object more character.

Is the non released DEMV6 the one you based off of a movie poster?

[Annoyingorbits]

will the default texture still be availible for the DEMVs?

[BobCat]

no, only 1 rexture

[Annoyingorbits]

Damn .

[Annoyingorbits]

*Downloads all the mods so he can keep the classic textures when bobcat destroys them*

[Itsdavyjones]

With the second gen MPSS, will it have a cupola to view where you are going that will fit into the style associated with it?

[Annoyingorbits]

whoops, forgot about HOME, Jool V and Nautilus, best go download them , before they get a non-optional Retexture that just makes the rover look like it's been on 100 missions, even if it was commisioned the other day.

[Orphican]

So I asked this in the release thread earlier, and I still dont expect an answer unless Bobcat wants to provide one . Is the new DEMV series going to continue using cleverbobcat.dll for propulsion or switch over to the newer wheel modules? I can understand if this hasn't been decided or if I missed it somewhere but im just curious. I don't have a big preference either way.

[Annoyingorbits]

Wait, am i the only one that isn't looking forward to the retexture?

[Moon Goddess]

With the second gen MPSS, will it have a cupola to view where you are going that will fit into the style associated with it?

The NASA design it's based on can't see where it's going You really don't want glass in the direction you are traveling in space that just increases the speed of collision.

Wait, am i the only one that isn't looking forward to the retexture?

Well seeing as I've only seen one of them so far, I can't really judge completely but the one I've seen I liked. I trust BobCat he does good looking stuff.

[OopsThatNotWork]

Wait, am i the only one that isn't looking forward to the retexture?

Will wait to see final product before judging.

[viperwolf]

looking forward to the new DEMVs

[Yasutaka]

looking forward to the new DEMVs

Haven't you you posted this picture before? I can swear I've seen it already...

[finkmac]

They posted a similar one in the "Bobcat. Ind. Release" thread.

[Yasutaka]

Ah, that makes sense then.
