CT-D37 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 If it has to be one, I'd say longer. The other one ends up looking a bit stubby in single-body subs. Also, longer can make a better cockpit for other things, like spacecraft and rovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSaint Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 It also depends on where the pilot(s) sit. If they're actually sitting in the dome, then it makes sense to spend the weight for all the glass to give them the extra visibility. If they're sitting back on the metal portion of the cab, then pushing the glass out just to give a slight improvement in hydrodynamics doesn't make any sense. If I were going to make a simple wishlist, without considering effort or time required, I would say make two options: a wrap-around glass version of the snubnose, and a lower-glass, lower-visibility version of the longer-nosed, more streamlined version. Those seem like logical trade-offs to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the best choice for the guppy would be a variant system like all the other Buffalo 2 parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Kerman Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Today I finished the exterior for the Guppy Submarine Module. Currently I'm using the Buffalo 2 IVA but once I get the Guppy IVA done, it will hold a crew of 3. Here's a preview; my BuffaSub reference design is almost done!

Angelo Kerman Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 I'll have to make another SunkWorks update to group all the diving controls under a single control group in the Part Action Window... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Kerman Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Ok, here is SunkWorks 1.0. It fixes the control groups in the Part Action Window so that the controls are all in their own control group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Kerman Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Today I made progress on the Guppy's IVA. It isn't done by any stretch of the imagination. I focused on making sure that the interior lines up with the exterior, and that the IVA mask lines up as well. I got the interior lighting done as well. With that done I can finish up the modeling of the interior over the next few days. Here's a look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same width and form factor as the Buffalo 2 body modules that have a ballast wedge underneath. For length it's a bit over 2.2m long. I went with the elongated nose design.

Angelo Kerman Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 Today I finished up the Guppy IVA. Stock: MOARdv's Avionics Systems: I'm happy to say that this is the last IVA that I need to make for Buffalo 2! Finally, since it wasn't too difficult to do, I added three part variants to the Guppy. Submarine: Submarine (No hatch): Station: ... And baring bug fixes/feedback updates, that concludes the Guppy Submarine Module! You can play with the latest here. There's just one more part left to make... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
