[0.4.1] (SORRY) Spaceplane and Orbit Reutilization and Recovery companY - SOUND! In space?

[Артем 2280]

Мод классный мне понравился. По моей просьбе к розработчикам: сделайте мод для механики чтоб можно было повернуть детали, чтоб были детали для выдвижения и т.д.

I liked the cool mod. At my request to the developers: make a mod for mechanics so that you can rotate the parts, so that there are parts for extension, etc.

Obviously, probably wont be on this next update since its almost done, but I'll for sure add those, but maybe more Stock-a-like. Also the fins are already being worked on too  

Looking at the dragcurve for them on the next update! thx for the feedback!

yay! will download when it comes out

I'll start posting a bit more about my dev of the mods... Here's how the new Mk2 RCS block looks! It has rcs thrusters on all sides!

Im also working on VTOL parts!

[LuxStice]

Working on MK2 Vtol module (Methalox engines, might turn into a closed/open cycle) goals for this part are to:

• Allow players to land their spaceplanes in the correct orientation near their colonies
• Have low thurst (but enough to hover+climb at low speeds)

Heavy RCS Block

• A high thrust methalox RCS block for your heavier rockets (tank in the images are 5m)
• Uncolored version includes an "heatshielded" texture on the bottom
• New VFX for RCS using LFO

Kheap Vac being worked on

Also i've been working on a B9 Part Switch for KSP2. SORRY will use this to have No Gimbaling but Higher Thurst engine variants and some other stuff.
This will be part of Patchouli's Library (soon) and will allow all modders to create their own variants of any part that exists in game (modded or not)

[LuxStice]

Shroud selection for SORRY's engines. Available when Patchouli's PartsManager releases (soon)

yup xD pretty similar to mine, but mine are also based on real fins. Im glad that they are finally bringing fins to the stock game! i'll probably re-adapt mine so that they dont overlap with the game's fins once they release!

[LuxStice]

Got the game's Drag Cube Generator working, so gridfin's drag model (and all other parts) will now have an accurate drag cube.  update soon.
The current drag models are all placeholder (and maybe, just maybe, not very accurate xD im sorry) and will be replaced on the next version

as you can see they were mostly just guesses (comparing with the KSP1's parts), but some of them were 10x more than the actual calculated drag. Remember that we are in a very early phase of KSP2 modding, we don't have almost any resource available for us. If anyone wants to know how to get the correct drag cube please contact me!

Current WAF-001 dragCube | Calculated WAF-001 dragCube

Also, minor improvment, the mod now will load a LOT faster, and occupy half the disk space thanks to my improvments to the Colors feature on SpaceWarp

[LuxStice]

Mk2 VTOL Methalox engines coming soon! This will be specially useful to land near your colonies! this will most likely be the last part added to the next update btw

[LuxStice]

Before i make the prod update, I'll have this pre-release just to be sure that everything is working correctly, please feel free to download and test it!

If you're wondering where's the new update, I've been busy helping @Falki and @schlosrat updating their UI to UITK, and making the Lux Flames and Ornaments plume editor so that anyone can edit any plume in game. here's a sneakpeak on the new ui's. Also im working with @munixto make Uitk For Ksp 2 better for any modder who wants to use it.
UITK is the new system that Unity has created for UI, its way more performant and gives a lot more control to the UI designer

As far as suggestions to, procedural fuel tanks and integrated wing fuel tanks. Great job on SORRY so far.

not on the scope of SORRY but surely can be done for another parts mod! I'll look into it!

Modding is this dark art, I'm guessing there's nothing like basic tutorials of 'how to add a part to KSP' for example anywhere? I'm competent enough with the likes of Blender but wouldn't have the faintest idea where to start.

Not all heroes wear capes indeed! I'll have to check these out when I'm finished work, much appreciated.

[LuxStice]

PLUMES!

Apologies if it's mentioned earlier but is this working with current game version?

Yes! or at least should be! Are you having any problems?

[LuxStice]

I should also add that the mod WON'T be loaded if you have missing dependencies. And LFO 0.2.0 is a dependecy of the mod

It worked fine pre-patch, but I uninstalled mods just incase there was issues with 0.1.3.

 

Fingers crossed, there's some rather handy parts (namely the quite high thrust but compact engines) and of course grid fins. Big things for those who like boosters that can land!

I can quite confidently say that it will be very rare the case where a game update breaks mods (depending on the mod obviously), but most of us use the game's provided Modules so parts and ui wont break with updates so theres no need to uninstall them
