Routhinator Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm trying to get the Launch Pack working with 0.23 but it keeps crashing KSP on load. The Exploration pack works fine, but as soon as the Launch Pack files are added, KSP crashes on load. This is using the most recent version available on Space Port.

WindShieIds Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I get major control problems when firing up my dragon on the falcon nine, it doesn't seem to react to my controls and when it does I can't stop it from continuing until I'm spinning and out of control.

If so, you need to rotate the dragon 45degrees (shift+Q 9 times) before you attach the engines. Or use RCSbuildaid to help you visualize the torque.

WindShieIds Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 That might be it, but allow me to give a more descriptive explanation of what happens.When I first begin my gravity turn on the first stage, it takes about five seconds for the thing to react.After it reacts, I can't stop my gravity turn from turning, it just keeps on tilting forward until I'm in a spin.

Scripto23 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hmm, are you using FAR? The spinning is definitely the superdraco attachment issue I mentioned earlier, but not sure about the gravity turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindShieIds Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yes, I do use FAR, but I just got it and this problem was going on before I started using FAR.I've also removed the draco system all together just to see if that was the case.I think it might have to due with the dragon capsule itself, if it helps you figure it out I'm also using mechjeb.

Scripto23 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 You should look into some of the FAR tutorial to eliminate that as a possible source. Just to make sure your rockets are optimized. Here's one that is good, there's also others floating around at reddit and such places. Try the rocket with a dummy payload and fairings in place of the Dragon too.

curiousepic Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Are there any issues integrating KerbX parts with Laztek (on user's end)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Are there any issues integrating KerbX parts with Laztek (on user's end)?KerbX isn't compatible anymore I think, since it was abandoned a while ago. Also, there is quite a "quality gap" to be honest. LazTek's work is incredibly detailed... while the KerbX Falcon 1 is very basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 On the other hand, I think that KerbX engines are a bit more detailed. Those engines still hold up, while all I've seen on LazTek ones is the nozzle (unless it changed recently). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curiousepic Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yeah, basically I'd like to use the KerbX engine models for the Laztek engine parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazarusLuan Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 I've tested the current release of the SpaceX Launch pack and Explorer Expansion kit with the .23.5 release of KSP and for the most part, everything seems to work the same or better. There is no longer any need to use struts between the Merlin 1D Housing and the main fuel tank, but upper connecting struts are still needed to stabilize the Falcon Heavy and Dragon Explorer configurations. While the upper stages no longer break, they bend badly without added support and/or the use of the shorter Explorer tank. KSP still requires the Dragon 2 capsule to be rotated 45 degrees before placing the four Superdraco engines to get the thrust vectors to straighten up and not rotate the ship uncontrollably.Here is my current list of changes that still need to happen:1. Add flag placement on parts2. Rework Dragon RCS thrust points to get RCS roll to work3. Fix "expanding tanks" bug with VAB parts selectorIf there are any changes I still need to address, or if anyone has a clue as to what could cause the "expanding tanks" bug, please let me know. I will also be adding new flame effects to all the regular-fuel engines. Now that KSP has fixed the issues with stability of large parts, I will be releasing my SpaceX 3.75-meter Super Heavy Lifting Pack within a couple of weeks, which will include concept versions of the upcoming Raptor engines.

Guest Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Nice. Just keep in mind, RCS thrusters apply their thrust through the COM. So RCS roll will never work on a stack-mounted RCS part. You'd need to make the RCS separate, attachable parts for this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scripto23 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) For the expanding parts bug, some parts require a dummy description module to be added which will fix the problem. Somebody made it into mod here.Also I actually made a config which rescales your mod parts and applies the most recent data SpaceX has released regarding the Raptor engines. It's made with realsolarsystem and all the realismoverhaul mods in mind (also needs HotRockets), but if you are interested you can check it out. You can find it in the main link in my sig in the FalconBFR_RaptorEngine folder. My numbers come mostly from this article , this blog, and a few scattered forum posts in the spaceflight forums.Here is the Falcon BFR Heavy compared to a "regular" Falcon Heavy (rescaled to RSS parameters with my realismoverhaul cfg):Javascript is disabled.

Virtualgenius Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I had problems with the hybrids switching when in space if this could be checked that would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazarusLuan Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 @Scripto23: Thanks for the info! Is there something I can edit in Unity to fix this without requiring users to download the mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 You can add a dummy module to each part affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scripto23 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yeah what Nathan said. To be more specific, the bug occurs on parts that have three or more resources, but no partmodules. You can see TaranisElsu's bug report here for some more details. So the fix is to just add something like this to the affected part:MODULE{ name = ModuleSAS } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowler_x1 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Why is this beautiful pack not responding to MechJeb? Please Help. I am used to Yuri Gagarin style flying. Don't like to input manual override codes for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowler_x1 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Why is this beautiful pack not responding to MechJeb? Please Help. I am used to Yuri Gagarin style flying. Don't like to input manual override codes for anything.Found out that 3 tanks are the culprits for my MechJeb dilema. (Falcon Upper Stage Tank - Explorer Main Tank - Falcon Main Tank) I removed the parts from the stock Laztek rocket builds and they work without issue. The question remains, how are these 3 tanks breaking MJ? or is it the 400 ISP engine and engine faring involved? Don't know, need to test. On another note I am having severe wobliness coming from the joints between service modules and heatshields or somewhere along those joints. Could anyone take a look or send me a quick reply regarding a fix?Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowler_x1 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Lowering the breakingForce and breakingTorque to below 3 digits helped with the wobliness. Using 0.23.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lextacy Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I have a few questions about the satellite capture frame.....1. does this really capture any craft in space using the reusable fairing payload bay?2. does it work by magnetics or docking port?If this is a functioning piece , this is by far incredible use of tactics that spacex should use in real life!
