Howson Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I still can\'t get it to fly straight, Are you planning to make your own SRB\'s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket2guns Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 I still can\'t get it to fly straight- Make sure you are using an engine with vectored thrust available- Use 'T' ASAS without the enabling RCS for the launch and you should lift off just fine.- If you\'re attaching large SRB\'s to the fuel tank, you will need to compensate with the shuttle engines. I set mine to between 70% to 90% depending on the rocket thrust.Are you planning to make your own SRB\'s?- Yes, I\'ve made the shuttle ones. I\'m making Buran style ones now.- Little distracted by the mun however!On a side note, I\'ve also nearly finished an X15 in the same vein. Basically cut up into parts and a 'just for fun' pretty project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eitan55 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 PleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePlease release the X-15 soon, I want to see what happens if I stick that 15m engine on it... ;P ;P ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And maybe a 1m-to-2x0.5m adapter so we can use the mini-LFEs to represent the XLR11s from the early tests, before the XLR99 was ready!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, good idea!(And maybe a 1m-to-2x0.5m adapter so we can use the mini-LFEs to represent the XLR11s from the early tests, before the XLR99 was ready!)Sure, easy enough.Please bear in mind though, that you\'re better off with C7\'s pack as that integrates much better with the game physics. This will just look good and be a bit of fun. Quite hard to control, like the shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket2guns Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Take this NASA!I love it how in the second pic Even Jeb is terrified! Well done Did you make it back?Guess I should release the landing gear then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket2guns Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Updated to v0.2.1Download from ZIP or RAR 7.54mbPlease provide handling feedback and any associated CFG suggestions.New to this version:[li]NEW: Advanced SAS values altered in line with other packs[/li][li]NEW: Mass Distribution Change (all in the engine mount) to improve stability[/li][li]NEW: Origins for wings altered to improve stability[/li]Notes:- You will need to reposition wings and control surfaces when reloading a saved shuttle- Place your RCS mount on the engine mount for maximum effectiveness. Two should be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronox Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Haha, no I didn\'t. It was fully capable of returning, until i laid it down for the pic. Then this happened. I just can\'t for the life of me figure out why bill is smiling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigred2989 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Had to remove the External fuel tank from the parts list. It caused the game to freeze while loading immediately for some reason. I guess it doesn\'t matter since it serves no purpose ATM beyond a giant decoupler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cepheus Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 It actually works really well without using solids or the fuel tank. Going to try using the vectored engines in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are problems that prevents it to fly unfortunately...(requires Silisko Edition, NovaPunch, KW Challenger Pack and KW PLF Set.)Yes.

Guest Flixxbeatz Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 How about converting the fuselage into some sort of PLF component?(Oh wait -- I think its too awkward to see the shuttle to land with an open cargo bay =P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
