BASKABAS Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Be careful with that.We fixed a bug that was reported with the intake vectors pointing in the wrong direction, but there's another issue with heavy intakes, the drag made by the intake, which is a function of area and speed, is multiplied by the mass of the part by the drag model. Even in FAR, as it can't override PartModule drag.In 2-6 thanks to ferram4 pointing out and some little-used parameters of the intake module I was able to give the S2W intake the same drag as the equivalent area of stock intakes, but if you fill up the part with fuel, it is likely (untested) that the total mass will be used rather than the dry mass, and with the appropriate amount of fuel that means the intake will have 4-5x as much drag as it should have moving forward. Believe me, I tested such values while figuring out the fix and it is a noticeable hit on your airspeed.You misunderstand. What we want to do is have the cone and rings in the intake move forward and back a little with airspeed up to the engine's max speed - which is currently ~ mach 5.4, btw - but it will only 'close' visually when you toggle the intake closed.On a side note, these will be the first intakes in game (that I know of) where the drag decreasing when the intake isn't drawing air is appropriate ...Oh I see.. Then it is even more cool!! Yep that is a very serious progress in terms of engine capability and first of a kind air intake that has more smart control then just on/off Really good work guys!

pinolallo Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Quadruple strutted (8 struts total) still get this failure everytime when warping.Same here, with the release 3 did this ship but after the R4/R5 wings do explode after a warp. Is not a KSP problem because I did not update KSP, is a problem coming from the B9 update. I do anything is possible to fix aslo hyper structuring the wing but the problem still present.

pinolallo Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Are you saying what I think you're saying?I guess no. You told me that the problem of wing exploding after warp was a ksp problem. But this problem start from r3. I'm saying that something goes wrong with wings after r3 (because i did not make any changes/update on ksp) and I'm not the only one that exploited this bug. I'm saying that. When someone discover something wrong on a ship I have released, I will try to reproduce the error and in case I will update the release thanking the guy that discovered the bug.Thanks a lot for your pack, but is broken and had to be fixed.

bac9 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Alright, we'll look into the changes made to it after 2.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASKABAS Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Pinolallo from your message it is easy to start thinking that you use older KSP version like 0.18.x not current 0.19.1 To be more precise I want to say that it would be better if next time you would add more details to what happens for what reason and what versions of KSP, B9 you use Even better just paste .craft file to verify what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razgriz86er Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 here's my take on landing using B9 IVA. The extra angle helps me see enough of the airstrip to land visually. of course you don't need to use Damned Robotics, you could simply have the cockpit fixed at an angle mods used: B9, of course and Damned Robotics for the hinge the cockpit sits onthis is what it looks like zeroed in http://i.imgur.com/Ymk471E.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfull Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I'm still having a problem after installing this mod that causes the game to crash when I try to fly anything.The other mods I have are Kethane, a handful of Bobcat stuff, and mapsat (partially uninstalled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfull Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I guess I'll try removing B9 for now, then uninstalling Kethane and Mapsat, since those are going to become obsolete soon anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCardinal Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Be careful with that.We fixed a bug that was reported with the intake vectors pointing in the wrong direction, but ...I'm not using an intake. Two adapters with fuel forms the body of a rocket driven spaceplane. The two adapters contain just enough fuel to have the plane take off from the runway and get into space (where it has to refuel to land). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCardinal Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I guess I'll try removing B9 for now, then uninstalling Kethane and Mapsat, since those are going to become obsolete soon anyway.Just remove all the parts (from ALL the mods) which you don't use anyway. You'll see that KSP will behave better after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nziswat Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hey Bac9 are you planning on adding your own landing gear? I had to get Tav's PaA just for the landing gear. Also thank god for the engines my fat bastard planes can't even lift their fatass with 2 SRBs and 4 jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASKABAS Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 By the way BAC9 will we see more types of fuel tanks after 0.20 comes out ? I had mentioned before that in the future there will be need for that as some engines use blutonium, and the other one from z.. which will replace xenon of course we can just attach stock tanks but they will spoil your parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anaximander Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Absolutely LOVING these parts. My only issue is that the parameters for connection seem to be a bit low in some cases; I've noticed a distinct slide between S2 fuselage sections. I can't attach the hypersonic cockpit to anything without a handful of struts to stop the wobble... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfull Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 hmmm, from what little I can figure out from the crash report, I think its just an issue of KSP running out of memory for some reason. I actually think I've been occasionally having that problem before adding B9, but now its happening every single time. Anyone have suggestions?

The new parts database is supposed to help with this, but as of right now, you will just have to remove unused parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new parts database is supposed to help with this, but as of right now, you will just have to remove unused parts.Dang, I just uninstalled Kethane, I thought that would help, but apparently its not enough.All I have other than that are a few Bobcat things and a Mk3 cockpit interior. And I already tried removing that last one, didn't helpI just checked, and I have 309 parts in the Part folder... is that too much?Also, is there a way to increase the memory available to KSP?
