Gubru Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Looks great, love the RCS, but it is hard to fly in the lower atmosphere. Likes to pitch up quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slew Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I know exactly what you guys are talking about.It\'s actually intended. Ausplane\'s main engine is only for orbital insertion and re-entry, like the Space Shuttle.Stable flight is only possible when:1. The main engine is switched off2. The fuel tank is empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gubru Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Something strange happened to me... I landed the Ausplane upside down... and it increased speed and slid across the ground at 2000m/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venku122 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Something strange happened to me... I landed the Ausplane upside down... and it increased speed and slid across the ground at 2000m/s. something similar happened to me yesterday. I hit the ground and something exploded propelling me at 500m/s across the ground. Anyways the ausplane is gorgeous. I\'m making a video of an interstellar cruiser with the ausplane as the bridge/reentry stage. I\'m gonna finish it up today but it won\'t be released until next week.

NovaSilisko Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Vanguard has the same gliding problem. I don\'t think it\'s actually possible to fix without HarvesteR intervening.As for the Hypersonic Acceleration Manifold, I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigibro606 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Just used Ausplane.Please view attached picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slew Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Found this on the YouTubes; describes exactly what I\'m talking aboot. Just confirmed it here. Holy shit did I confirm it.I actually crashed my game by landing upside down. So yeah, that happened.I did some experiments and figured out the problem:When the plane lands upside down, the RCS blocks hit first and explode.The explosion throws the rest of the plane across the ground.I\'ve confirmed that the same thing will happen to Nova\'s Vanguard if you attach some fragile components.

DeCi Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Low earth Orbit Achieved 8)T.M.I in 10 minutes.Good Burn No residuals.MidCourse correction act succesful.Free return trajectory established.M.O.I in 4 hours.Starting Retro Burn.Landing sequence initiated.End result.Too low too fast. > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest meteorite 101 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 how do you attach the ausplane like the way NASA did with the shuttle and how do you control the ausplane :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigibro606 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 how do you attach the ausplane like the way NASA did with the shuttle and how do you control the ausplane :-\RCS and magic/SAS although adding an SAS usually results in the craft splitting in half.

s20dan Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 this exactly! I think its safe to assume this is a very common glitch.I\'ve seen it happen with quite a few different ships. I think its pretty general and not necesarilly caused by the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
