DerekL1963 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 As usual, writing up what I did last night before heading to bed... More testing of a potential Duna Dirigible and looking at some of the new parts in the latest release of Angel's Heisenberg mod - details in my Airship Adventure thread.

Azimech Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 KerbalX user Bad Battery has an airplane in the shape of the USS Excelsior. He expressed his wish that it could be turned into an SSTO. So I did. Due to the drag it's not a very good SSTO, just enough juice to get it to LKO. Parts: 272 - almost 1/10th of my scale 1:6 Excelsior. Mass: 212t. It's got 14 Rapiers.

magnemoe Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hardbrake scenario. Simulation of an train doing an hard aerobrake at Duna, this was 5 second before stuff blew up, lesson learned in test 5. Autostruts are mandatory. trailing heat shields is also mandatory but this was learned in simulation 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpicSpaceTroll139 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Tested a J-2 engine for the Saturn V replica I'm finally getting back to work on. The difference in collision mesh of the new Donut from the Round-8 tank make it much easier to put the ring bit (I think it's the thingy that introduces fuel to the cooling tubes in the engine bell) on the engine now. It works but I'm realizing the exhaust flame is going to look weird, both with stock and realplume. What do you all think would be better? Realistic looking engines, or Kerbal engines with more appropriate flame? (Might work fine for J-2s, but I think the F-1s are gonna look weird no matter what) Anyways, for those wondering, it's gonna be for this thing: To do: add details to Command module Remove LES, add boost cover, and replace LES again. (This will be a pain in the bum due to all the struts on the LES) Add S-II, S-IC, and interstages Maybe use ore tanks to add the black stripes to the rocket, if the part count isn't over 800 or something stupid like that by the time the structure is finished. Me gusta the plain white fairings though. So much nicer than with those yellow stripes around the thing. ...And I just realized a lot of the heavily "strut arted" parts on here, such as the landing legs, are attached to pre-1.4 decouplers. They're still in-game though so this thing loads fine. Please Squad I beg you, do not get rid of those... this took hours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavscout74 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Apparently I managed to set half the atmosphere of Eve on fire while landing a small probe. The actual probe is a fraction of the size of the fireball - and somehow survived with all parts still attached & functioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Playing with new parts... made a sort of Gemini/Soyuz hybrid. Love the new colors!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavscout74 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I've used XLJedi's Star Ranger SSTO in multiple careers, primarily for Laythe interface, but I decided to build my own based on it with mod parts for my 1.4.1 career. First flight was a dream - Jeb took her up to 90km then back down right to the runway. Didn't think to grab any screenshots of the first flight unfortunately but I grabbed pics on the runway after a few tweaks. Sadly, no time for another test flight today.
