The Dressian Exploder Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Will the oval-esque cross section of this plane be a fully fleshed-out size like some kind of Mk2 or Mk3 equivalent or is it going to just be the single part in a similar vein to the SXT plane mentioned earlier?

Screenshots might have been confusing / hard to read angle - It has no custom cross section, it's just size1 / 1,25m with a bump for the crew cabin.

Coldrifting Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Really cool mod! I'm all for more of these smaller precision mods. Easier on load times and RAM. By the way, I noticed a bug where some of the engines (at least the larger ones) would make some noise when you placed them in the SPH. It's not instant, but after a bit the engine spools up, which can be distracting in the editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipe Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Hey these look really nice! Glad to see an alternative to firespitter, as some of the parts that firespitter adds are well uhhh... of subpar quality.

Scorpiodude Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I've been messing around with this mod a bit since I saw it on CKAN earlier today and it's been really fun. Since this is an early version I've encountered a few bugs you might want to hear about though. For some reason none of the parts like one of my planes and the prop will go black once spun up. I've tested it with different craft to see if I could figure out what's causing it but sadly couldn't replicate it with other craft. I also feel like the drag on the 1.25m props is too high and the trumpet struggles to get a 5 ton plane past 90 m/s while with the same plane the vuvuzela can only get up to 180m/s. Anyway, it's really cool to see a lightweight prop mod that's very good at being stockalike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOmer Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) Very good part models, sounds, thrust balance. Some customization would be very nice such as propeller blade length (for ground clearance). Thanks Edited September 9, 2023 by CanOmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOmer Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) I built a light (1 ton) electric aircraft for Duna using "Stylophone" electric engine. Its electric usage is 0.001/sec (max) and producing 17.0kN thrust. Isn't it too overpowered? Because my plane flies at +100m/s on Kerbin with one smallest solar panel which gives 0.3/sec (max) electric.

I was mostly pointing it out in terms of something being compromised between you releasing and me downloading(not sure how the whole process with github works).

Av8tor8a Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) Is there any chance a tandem seat trainer cockpit that follows the same black/yellow pattern of the turboprop could be added? Edited June 20 by Av8tor8a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be fun - I think if I had in mind to expand further, maybe a cessna style thing? Currently I am focusing on Tantares, but there may be more in future! I would be really happy to help others implement waterdrinker in their mods too (create a standalone plugin distribution, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mostly thinking of some sort of Pilatus, though a Cessna or even a Piper type of cockpit would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyDarkStar Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 In love with this! It's been on my mind for ages but a whole new propeller engine plug-in is sorely needed, ideally one that can recreate torque/P-factor effects for use with Ferram and AJE. I wonder what work would have to be done to adapt this to AJE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
