OJT Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I finally managed to build a somewhat functional Space Shuttle. It's not ideal at the moment, there's still stuff to iron out, but I got to orbit and landed at KSC, that's decent in my book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgently Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 30 minutes ago, spacejet said: Dang it. Ok thank you. One of the camera mods allows this when the kerbal is the "active craft", maybe HullCam, not sure. It will put an entry into the Kerbal's right-click menu for "activate camera" and you will be looking through the kerbal's view, but I really don't know what the situation would be for a kerbal in a command seat. There may be an "activate camera" entry in the seat's right-click popup, not sure and no way to check at this time. Anyway, sorry for incomplete suggestion...

darthgently Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 On a side note, that craft is going to have quite a bit of aero drag given the "cockpit" design but for re-entry only that could be a good thing. I'm not sure how much thermal protection the fore end will give to the kerbs on re-entry however. You may end up having to come in retrograde, or pitched up quite a bit, to keep the kerbs from overheating. As I recall, those panels can take a lot of heat. It is the gaps in between the panels that I wonder about. It looks like an adventure about to happen, that is for certain, and it should be a lot of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdJ Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 1 hour ago, spacejet said: super! There is a modless way to do it. You put a small part like a thermometer just in front of where they sit. Click Aim camera on it and then swing your view behind the Kerbal and zoom in. If you get your position right you can actually go inside their heads and see the eyeballs from the inside.

MythicalHeFF Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) I discovered that Vall's south pole is not for the faint of heart. It's basically a gigantic cliff face that rises 5 kilometers above the surrounding terrain, and it has a huge gap in the terrain where anything that falls in is destroyed. It's also surrounded by extremely rugged terrain that made even getting to it in the first place difficult. Once I actually reached the pole, which was at an elevation of more than 7,500 meters, I discovered that the actual pole was on an extremely narrow "tightrope" of terrain with sheer cliffs on both sides. So that was fun for Jack Kerman to walk to. Once actually at the pole, the camera angle flipped 90 degrees, as it often does when you go to the exact pole of a celestial body. However, this was made more terrifying by the fact that I was literally suspended over the void. Needless to say, I planted a flag and got out of there quick. Then I just messed around driving a rover into it for a bit.

Second Hand Rocket Science Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 On 3/10/2022 at 6:50 PM, Kebab Kerman said: When I look at the logs, it shows a crap ton of NREs about "BDArmory.core.module.hitpointtracker" having a null value, but I have no idea how to fix that, so there isn't much I can do. If it isn't that, then I suspect it's probably physics calculations. I suggest either starting to use CKAN if you don't already, or just making sure that you didn't download "BD Armory for runaway project" which is what I did on my first BD installation. That uh... breaks some textures. I didn't encounter anything else in reference to the runaway project version of BD, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the cause. Failing that, post something in the Technical Support forum. It's the first stop for mod-related shenanigans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy1 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm mostly wasting time feeding more science to 10 labs on different ships while most of them are on interplanetary trips. I'm using the admin policy to convert all science earned to reputation... at about 50:1 exchange rate, which is further diluted on the asymptotic reputation scale. I'll probably need 20K science to go from 94% to 95% reputation. I'm converting 75% funds to rep too. I took Gigarover from the Mun to Minmus.

Zacspace Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Attempted to build a space helicopter I attempted to arrest the blades with servos and then use them as wings. This works, but the blades cause way too much drag, even when they're stopped. Back to the drawing board I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not then it is not surprising that you have high drag. It is like having wings with edges on both sides angled up. You would be better off stopping them so they are lined up along the body and using your stub wings as your lift surfaces in fast forward flight.

ColdJ Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Finally got everything I wanted to work with the X-wing finished. Half way through this I started to think I should have built a GronK Droid first. S foils work and have a good sound effect. Landing gear retracts and stows with slide in covers. My internals are getting better and I am happy with this. RCS can get you off the ground for take off and landing, Engines glow brighter with throttle and the sound effect for them sounds good. My R2D2 clone has RCS enough to get up onto the X-wing and has a retractable power foot for driving. The R2 hole has a lift you put in and a docking plate you attach to it so that the R2, which can dock size 0 at it's feet, can attach and be raised and lowered, it can undock go wherever, come back jump up and then drop into the hole and redock. R2 has a ladder collider on it's back so that a Kerbal can hitch a ride (very handy for retrieving Kerbals floating off in Space.) The X-wing has a ladder that comes out with the landing gear and stows when gear up for easy access. Lots of pics in spoiler.

darthgently Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I hope that KSP2 doesn't get rid of glitches like the S. Pole of Vall and the Mohole. The present something that is somehow "kerbal". Another thought is that if KSP2 does make planetary mining resources finite (highly unlikely) maybe dropping things into body glitches could add to the body resources like an ISRU recycler, Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymcgoochie Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Created a stupidly overbuilt lunar orbiter to do some mapping for a contract, then realised it was so overbuilt that I could use it to put landers on the surface too- and it was still overbuilt.
