Kenobi McCormick Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Oooooooh, that's neat as hell. Bit on the long side though, a heavy duty independent system would have short, stocky control arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave7 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hey Angus, I'm having trouble stacking your kages onto anything. I was trying to use Bobcats Altair lander to deliver some vehicles I made. I couldn't stack the kages onto the stack separators so I tried stacking them onto other objects and they wont go. I can stack the same things onto the kages with no problem. I made a node on the back of the mk1-ef and on the front and back of the mk1 and I can stack the kages onto things with those nodes but not the top and bottom. Any ideas why they wont stack? I checked the attachment rules and they look fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angusmcbeth Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 I have no idea. PM me your cfg and I'll have a look if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave7 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 PMs sent. Can you stack your kages onto other parts in your game? I can't see any reason it wouldn't stack. Anything will stack onto them just fine. Just not the other way around. Hope this makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moencino Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Thanks for this part! It's the first part I've added to the game since joining last week. Worked on some rover designs last night, and got one up to 120m/s (rocket assisted) while testing the limits of the Kage. Love the wheels you've added, too - seems they're capable of higher speeds than noted on the warranty, but the ensuing crashes always resulted in the chair disconnecting from the Kage. Perhaps a special 5-point harness chair is in order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a special 5-point harness chair is in order? I think there is now a way to 'Bake' the command seat and the rollkage into one part. I will need to look into how to do this. If anyone has the know how, please mail me! or even better post here! Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
