Zhent Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I am having some difficulty with my spaceship - the stages seem to do some sort of swaying dance between the 2M engine and the fuel tank in my first stage, and the interstage / fairing between stages 1 and 2. Is there some trick to preventing this? I\'m not sure if I am explaining it very well - the engine seems like it jumps around a lot, until I lift off the pad. This is what happens if I leave it on the pad for a couple minutes. It also occasionally falls straight over Hopefully those help explain it a little bit. It is shifting back and forth very quickly. Anyways, I love everything else about it, and the jumpiness does not seem to impact the actual flight very much unless it jumps so hard that it falls over on the pad. Which has been known to happen if I leave it for long enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 You can also try attaching an interstage to the engine, and then mounting landing legs on it. When you launch, fire the engines, throttle up and decouple the interstage along with the legs. Or use KIS connect to help with the wobble.

Elven_sword Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Slew, are you still updating this pack? I\'d love to see a Soyuz-type orbital module for the Mei Long pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why485 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Ugh, I love the Down Under pack, I really do. It has my favorite aesthetic, it\'s simple to use, and I love how the parts are balanced. But lately I\'ve been having so much trouble making larger stuff with it. For whatever reason large rockets tend to fall apart when either carrying heavy stuff or under a lot of power. It\'s really unreliable to use and very frustrating. The best I can do is reinforce like crazy with struts but that\'s not a reliable solution either.I think the collision meshes are wonky or something. I opened up the DAE files myself and I notice that the collision meshes all stop short of the ends of the actual geometry. Maybe what happens then is that under heavy loads the hardpoints normally would fall back on the hard collision meshes, but because there\'s a noticeable gap between the collision and the hardpoint, the hardpoint isn\'t strong enough on its own to hold itself together.

Kreuzung Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 That gap is necessary to ensure attachment works to all parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabrielG.A.B.Fonseca Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Slew, after 1.6 comes out, you will take out the fake stairs from the Mei Long LLV, so we can put the 1.6\'s real ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try disabling the gimbal range in the .cfg file and see how that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeCi Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Your remark is unjust and uncalled for! Please refrain from similar remarks in the future. Keep the peace on the forum.Down Under is primarely the nickname for Australia. The modified song lines therefor are funny, i.mho.Way to go throwing oil on the fire captain forum justice.I don\'t think slew is going to update this pack. He hasnt posted anything here for a cpl of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scurge Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I was under the impression that each part needed a mesh folder in them. I don\'t see any mesh folders in this collection. I am in no way experienced with making parts, and this may be a noob question, but will this still work okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This enables faster loading the next time you start the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
