Dragon Rider Capsule [0.23 (2/14/14)

[Big_Ron]

if you have a node to dock to you can transfer fuel like any other ship.

[Kerbal01]

What are the RescaleFactors for making this fit on the kerbx falcon 9?

[Guest]

I believe it already fits well.

[Big_Ron]

Yes it does fit. there is some overhang but the fairing that it has re-sizes to fit correctly

[MDBenson]

Or if you want to do it properly so it actually looks like it's supposed too, add:

scale = 1

rescaleFactor = 1

below the 'model =' line for each part and scales it perfectly to fit the KerbX Falcon 9. Nothing's changed regards the size or model or textures since the previous version as far as I can see, but I'm glad the bug fixes have happened and it's in 0.20.x format now

If you want to you can actually use the KerbX Trunk, nosecone, solar arrays, solar array covers and trunk adapter on it, hey fit perfectly I prefer the KerbX trunk because it has the Dragon logos on the solar array covers.

Good mod. I like that it acts as a lander and a shuttle but I have 2 complaints

Needs a better IVA and the pod drains battery like a probe, take that away please.

I'm sure that will never be taken away -- there's a reason the pack comes with solar panels. But if you look at the part.cfg, you can see there's a comment in it under the first MODULE section that says, "//remove this to make it not use power". Remove everything between that and the "//end power removal" comment and Bob's your uncle...

its the blank iva that bugs me the most. When i look in the iva it looks like Kerbals sitting in a room in the matrix, just gray with nothing in it.

[silentdragon]

What kind of docking Ports does it use? Will the stock one work?

Someone offered to help cBBp with the IVA quite a while back, but it fell through. Hopefully another person will step up to help him out.

Definitely hope

Silentdragon It will connect to a Stander Clamp-O-Tron. Jack and War Eagel I did offer to do the Cockpit, the issue being is i only have PS CS3. i would have to do all the Photo Shopping and then send it to CBBP and he would have to apply all the texturing last time i talked to him he was still mulling it over. i have a bunch of Pic's of the cockpit and have offered them to CBBP.

I hope you do. I really like this mod and IVA is not as big a deal. (Just a lil ocd about it). However because it is such a great design i can over look it.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

I think the cfg file has comments about what to delete to remove power drain. but i forget

[Big_Ron]

As of today KBBP is the only one developing a Dragon......keep up the good work 11,000 of us love your work.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

oh? why so?

[Big_Ron]

KerbX had his Thread Locked and said he was done developing KerbX you and him do such great work....sad to see him go...

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

shame. but i don't really blame him. he is to talented to bother making models for this game. He could sell stuff on Turbosquid lol. he recreates things flawlessly.

[Big_Ron]

What is turbosquid....never herd of it

[Big_Ron]

Holy crap that site rocks....thought it was 3D printing for a sec

[War Eagle 1]

Any idea when the next update of the dragon for .21 should be out?

[FlyingJackal]

Yes, this is one of the best capsules in the game. Please if you have time can you update it for .21?

[Big_Ron]

I can get it to load but that's it cant get it to launch

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

I can finally remove the dragon brain part

not teted but this new CFg file might work?
