intidragon Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) I tried the RD-0146 engines on an SSTO of mine. from the sonic transition 'till the end of the mission I smiled. Just the feel of those engines. . . UMMF~! Edited August 10, 2013 by intidragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senshi Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Congratulations on the release . Love the engines, and thanks for the stock-alike tweak suggestions as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 thanks guys Not that I have really worked on it but I reopened the N-1 files and studied the layut and adjusted the KSMOS wonky sizesVA 2.5m since that it is what i went with. If I could redo it I would have made it 2m too late now though Block D 3 meter because it will just work better with everything else that way. Plus 1.25 engine's can fit up inside the donut tank at this size. Block G/n1-l3 3 meters. with Block D being 3 M this should probably be 3.75 to 4m but I will just use this as an adapter piece between the two varied sizes. Block A will thusly be 12m to accommodate for the weird sizes. Reason it needs to be 12 and block G 3meter is because the size of the Nk-33 engine being 1.25m.

Guest Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Are the proportions right? If so, then it'll be fine. It could always be rescaled if it was really needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Are the proportions right? If so, then it'll be fine. It could always be rescaled if it was really needed.the only things that would look wonkly (if I made th whole rocket which i have no plans to do) would be the N1-L3 unit. but since I will probably never make that part. That is where the scale change over happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well, then at least make sure Block G looks right. Block D and LOK will probably be available from BobCat, in realistic size (LK already is there, and he's remaking the Block D). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieGoesHere Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hello CBBP, would you be able to upload the SSPP on another link? as of now, spaceport keeps corrupting every attempt I have at downloading your pack, having it hosted on another, backup, link, would make it easier for those who are having this problem with spaceport to get it.

Right is actual N-1 shape. it's ammaing how many drawings (what i sued to make the left side) are wrong lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normak Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 You might be getting thrown off by the revisions the Soviets made to the rocket over the years. The one on the left has a vertical "skirt" like the 6L and 7L versions, while the one on the right has no skirt like the 3L and 5L versions.http://api.ning.com/files/uROX6gz-CytldNyMvnu7YBVvHXKBkR0iLL7HqS8NEJTjSAC8UunjdZOSpsna27SfAPGU6mTNkR1dL56OX723htydxl9pf4fP/threeset.jpgThis image shows three versions of the N1, the 3L, 5L, and 7L.

Build a rocket, blow it up, check the logs, remove the flaw, blow it up again. No two N1s were the same, precisely because they kept blowing up.

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Huh. i did know each version was different but i didn;t know they changed that part of t that much. the question is which looks cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7499275 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I would love to see a accuratly scaled version of the N-1 always facinated by the Soviets designs and idea during the space race although it is hard to find a good model of the N1 for KSP.

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) what N-1 looks the neatest though. I sort of like the one with no beveling on the skirt lol.I forgot how much more awesome the Angara Strut Connector was. Now that i got it working it is time to over haul it N-1 feasibility testing continues Edited August 11, 2013 by CardBoardBoxProcessor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryulenko Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 The RD-0146 for me its the best engine i ever added to one of my rockets of 3.75m in long time, Usually they dont even fly, But the new engines are really great. Keep this nice mod/part pack going better and better (Idk exactly which one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaryulenko Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I started using 4 of them as Orbital generation and Mun aproach stage for an mun landing whit around 5-8t. of cargo then on mun orbit i used another one for Final descent and landing on mun, i love how efficent it is and the expanding animation but i have a question, Why it can expand, i mean what was it for? or its just for fun?.

But in reality lots of engines like the RL-10 and real RD-0146 have extendable nozzles that would increase efficiency.If you like those engines you will like my next batch fo engines. Thoguh not wure when i will make those. I hope to make the RD-58 some time soon. it would be the 1.25m class acent second stage engine. that is. have decent ISp but not super great. but more than it would have in ATmosphere. so you wouldn;t want it there or for departure but its good thrust would make it perfect for finishing ascent.

Zaryulenko Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Thanks for the Answer! i hope the extention of nozzles affects the efficiency in the future, I cant wait to see The N-1 starting to melt the metal grill at launch pad . I only used the RD-0146 on atmosphere in one case (It was "Payload send attempt No. 2 Now 100% Less ariane 5 ripoff) first stages failed sadly due to SRBs Structural linkage fail, they burned up almost all the rocket except payload.... and yes i figured out Whit the ISp and the try that its not the best option in atmosphere... Sadly the payload and the engine did a really big crater on the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
