Firespitter propeller plane and helicopter parts v7.1 (May 5th) for KSP 1.0

[jeffQC1]

Is there any chance to see an overhaul of the mod? Cause these parts are old and don't fit with the current llok of the parts in KSP

I'm assuming that this mod is still compatible with the current version of ksp?

Core firespitter plugin is. However some of parts might be unbalanced due to lot of changes in both, stock physics and FAR.
Plugin is used by other mods too - for switching textures and other features that this mod made available.

Yeah, I removed it from the folder, loaded the game...

 

for the most part. I've found that KW Rocketry doesn't work anymore, which is very sad. It's one of my favorite mods.

Do you use the compatibility patches that @linuxgurugamer has made?

[TMasterson5]

Hey guys I'm having an issue with the copter cockpit. It appears normal size in the SPH but then at launch it shrinks itself magically for seemingly no reason. Is this a known issue or is there a way to fix it? Thanks in advance for the help!

Stopping in for a quick heads up (and also pinging @Snjo )

I'll be sorting KSP 1.1 compatibility for FireSpitter and plan on having it ready for the pre-release, both to help out other modders and also give folks a chance to do some testing

Snjo - I've done the reverse integration of all of the changes in MASTER and am working on the updates in DEVELOP even as we speak.

Is there any advantage to having multiple prop blades?

[MightyDarkStar]

Does anyone know where I can find the prop engine that is simply the three-bladed propeller and prop hub? I'm look at you, @NathanKell .

Sounds like you're looking for KAX

More dig on the air / more power. The helicopter rotor works pretty much the same way.

It doesnt seem to be the case though. ive noticed that when using 2 blades on my prop or 12, the thrust doesn't change and the acceleration doesnt change.

Hmm that may be something for @RoverDude I know the heli rotors work as they should (increased lift from aditional blades)

[NathanKell]

It was an 'optional' part in Firespitter.

[theonegalen]

I'm having a lot of slowdown and NRE errors when using props. Anyone else having similar behavior?

[RoverDude]

FYI the KSP 1.1 Pre-Release version is up.

I fully expect all of the landing gear will explode.  There are likely other issues.  Please log github issues.  This is being pushed out there primarily for the modders who have a dependency on Firespitter (like me!).

If you are not on the 1.1 Pre-release, please use the prior version.

It seems that commits were done to the main branch, which updated the .version file that AVC pulls, but there's no release download -- the changes haven't been built and published to the "For release" repository (except for the version file.) Unless maybe I just don't know where to look.

Indeed I couldn't find it there either. But you can take it from USI kolonization systems and it works perfectly (Edit: with textureswitch and fuelswitch at least).

Whoops - yeah, I will have to publish the release (my bad)

[keptin]

Thanks much RoverDude for continuing to maintain this plugin for the mods that rely on it!

I posted about this issue in January. Would be good to see a response from @RoverDude

I'm seeing this exact issue. This is the FSPROpellerElectric "FS1PRE Customizable Electric Propeller engine".

Confirmed on a clean install with no other mods. Only Firespitter.

Is this a known issue that is proving difficult to fix? I can't see any reply to the quoted post.

The only thing which changes the thrust in the editor is the engine size (according to the right click menu) so a 12 blade engine with size 3 blades at 1000 rpm would provide the same thrust as a 2 blade engine with size 0.3 blades at 100 rpm. When I tested this in flight the same was true:

Did you log a github issue?  Very likely to get missed without one. (have you seen how many threads Roverdude maintains?)

Good point. I'll make an issue on Github.

I'm having an issue with animations not working. When I use firespitter propellers neither the animations or the sound plays. Is this an issue with 1.1 or did I install incorrectly?

[Darkstar616]

Has the plugin been released yet?
