JosiahKerman Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 This is a great mod and the models are so detailed! Just a few things: I installed this without realizing that you needed TU to make the starship shiny. https://imgur.com/a/PVD1X9f Note the engine plumes on the booster. Then, I went back and installed TU, and now the engine plumes are gone. https://imgur.com/a/F5SsyKs Also, what is this? https://imgur.com/a/RyIcXlv Note the oxidizer levels... Also, I feel like I should mention that the singular raptors (SL and Vac) have had plumes the whole time, it's just the boosters (29 and 33 engines) that are affected.

OrbitalManeuvers Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I absolutely do not know what I'm doing with this thing but it sure is pretty! Has anyone managed reentry? I've tried 40 degrees and 10 degrees nose up, with and without flaps activated, and every time the nose rises and rises until it flips over and comes in HOT, engines first. I don't really know enough about Starship to be trying this, but it seemed fun! Screenshot tax (ksrss at 2.5x) Reveal hidden contents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The starship “Folding over” is easily fixed by using autostruts and rigid attachment. The plume issues is a bit more difficult on the other hand. Could you join the discord server?

I was right, I didn't know what I was doing With the above guidelines I was able to survive reentry, not flip retrograde, coast to within about 15km of the space center, and land with almost no fuel left. I'm only using MechJeb right now, so with a little more tech I hope to be able to get it onto a landing pad. Thanks for the help and for sharing your hard work with us!

I apologize for wasting your time, that's such a rookie mistake that I should have caught. Waterfall updated 8 days ago and I've been asleep, apparently. All good now, thank you again.

Expand We’ve seen people in the discord server report issues with attach nodes not being where they are supposed to, sadly we are unable to reproduce these issues and thus cannot fix them at this point.

However ... What's not as simple is managing the ship during a mission. There are a lot of "things" that need to happen during a flight, especially if you're using Methalox and boiloff and you'd like to land it, especially somewhere specific. So there's definitely procedures and action groups that help manage the flight - those are the tidbits I'm still discovering/developing. I'd be super interested in what other people are doing aside from just the basic build. At this point I'm still throwing away the booster and just trying to learn the ship.

Expand For purely orbital testing, I've underfueled the Starship quite a bit, and I also vent out the main tank almost completely after the deorbit burn. Didn't make sense to me to carry extra fuel through reentry? The timing of steps like that are definitely things I'm still working on. All pointers appreciated!

Tundra Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 First off, this looks AMAZING!! I love the detail (Especially the heat shield) and I think that this is really amazing. I did prefer the cargo variant on Tundra Exploration, so maybe there can be another version with that type of opening? Anyway, I was looking to add a starship to my RO save, so this prompts me to ask the following question: Is there a way that this could be compatible with RO? Can you easily change the diameter of the models? Maybe just write an extra config to decrease dry mass or something until it has appropriate delta-v? If not then I can try to do it myself.

Expand first of all, thanks! I tried a few different designs for the doors but the better looking one was the one I released, so probably I won't do another one. inside the extras folder there's a "RO-RP1" folder, just grab it and put into your game data Edited January 27, 2022 by Kari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
