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

Cool so what did you do ? It might help others who encounter the same issue.

@Hellbrand: try this (kind of "hard-to-find-almost-hidden" part )

Download there, I just made the parts 2x larger, 4x heavier (that's how volume works) and set

MODULE

{

name = FSbuoyancy

buoyancyForce = 60

buoyancyIncrements = 10

waterImpactTolerance = 200

}

Plane in space with pontoons looks a bit... weird

Hi,

On my install, the props don't turn, I can see them change their pitch, but they don't rotate... I have the firespitter.dll in the plugins folder like it should, and it used to work, but now it stopped working... No new mods installed, just some mods updated.

Any ideas?

nice.

I just thought: if they could be use as fuel tanks, all the fuel will be used on the way to the target, and then they're just "pontoons" (the usual "take the most of something and don't waste anything" when you go to space).

Hmmm, I placed the Firespitter folder in my Gamedata, but the props don't spin and wings don't provide lift. Was I supposed to move everything inside Firespitter folder to KSP, not the firespitter folder to gamedata?

Use a download manager, something like Free Download Manager - the Spaceport has a nasty habit of truncating large downloads, a download manager will restart them and get them to complete for you.

i thought it may have something to do with SP. Thank you for the advice. i appreciate it

I would like to ask one favor, can anybody tell me what object should I use in this model?

It's kosmos's fairing and I'd like to use FStextureswitcher. Can anybody help?

It seems this thread dosen't get much attention these days, barley 2 replies per day.

You can list all the objects in the model to the log if you have the list objects option on in the cfg. You'll just have to try them one by one, with a restart of the game per try, unfortunately.

That might have something to do with a lack of dev news lately, I've been taking it pretty easy since new year, alternately recharging the batteries and being ill

I figure this mod doesn't generate as many war stories, or help requests for in game use as some other mods. At least after the install is done and everything works.

[blackheart612]

IIRC, model, model, collider, collider, collider, nose_collider. Alright, with game restart. I'll try it. Thanks snjo

I think that's also because it has such excellent documentation provided compared to many other mods, for which I thank you

[blackheart612]

I really wonder how I make this work :/

[Snjo]

Well, the problem is it's very hard to know what's wrong when stuff doesn't work. As long as the folder is in the right location, the textures and sounds will work. As long as the dll is present anywhere within gamedata, that will work.

There's always the option that something goes horribly wrong during some code execution, crashing the whole thing. But all I know is it works with stock KSP + FS, and many other combinations. Beyond that, you will need to dump the error log to pastebin or something after you know you've tried a correct installation with just FS and KSP. If that works, add other mods one by one until it fails. At that point you know where it fails.

I think blackheart612 is referring specifically to using the texture switch module on procedural fairings. I've been trying to do the same, I think the difficulty seems to be the way the transform is generated in the procedural fairings module it doesn't have a statically defined object name.

[NathanKell]

What would be very, very nice indeed would be an option to set mainTexture for *all* materials of a part. For parts with only a single main texture page, that would be safe, right? And it'd solve this issue too.

I also noticed that nobody even tried to answer my post.

Pretty much every time I had issues with the props not doing what they should it had to do with the .dll not being in the right place.

You've installed it correctly, the most likely issues are either the dll being blocked by anti-malware, or conflict with another mod. If you can't resolve it, please upload the output_log.txt file from within [path]/Kerbal Space Program/KSP_Data to a file sharing site where it can be accessed, and provide the link to it in another message.

Just thought of an idea for cockpits. We've got the round bubble that was used on the P-51 Mustang, but I think it'd be nice to also have a cockpit similar to either the BF-109 or the FW-190.

InfiniteDice has finally released his Skillful weapon mod!

[zack2014]

Not sure if anyone has told you about this Snjo, but (For me at least) the fighter landing gear never is quite straight enough for planes to take off, even your packaged planes. It seems to be about 2 or 3 degrees off, either outwards or inwards, and either way, the plane ends up crashing.

[CaptainKipard]

Is there a standalone version of texture switcher that we can use without everything else?

[blackheart612]

I think you just need the dll then it's fine
