aevionknight Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 I whipped up a quick parachute system. I think I\'m going to have the parachutes only be safe over water. If you want to land on dry land, you\'ll have to use the engines.I also upped the pod torque, it handles a lot better in orbit now (especially on roll) and the flight dynamics aren\'t affected. RCS is still useless for roll, I\'ll revisit it when Harv fixes the bug.[uPDATE: Hmph, having trouble getting the parachute to look right in the half-open position. It basically has no radius at the moment.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aevionknight Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Just a typical hemispherical chute.I finally got the things work work after digging through the .DAE file. I\'ll model non-placeholder ones tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmiteZero Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Downloading Cyclone. ;De: Finally figured how to put it together, and... No room for a parachute! That thing is heavy, too! Looks cool. It\'s a pity the aeroflap thingies can\'t actually deploy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herpderpsslerps Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hey Can you make a 1.75 decoupler to work with the 1.75 meter tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warringer Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Trued to makes a Mun lander with the Cyclone...The actual lander became unresponsive to any control input. RCS fired as intended, but the entire thing did not turn in any way. And I had the SAS turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aevionknight Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hmm, looks like I didn\'t play with the chutes while re-entering enough. They move your center of mass far enough back that, combined with the bigger pod torque, you can now flip the Cyclone during re-entry. It doesn\'t break anything, just makes it easier to control than I wanted.I guess the chutes both make it tamer to fly and give you a non-propulsive landing option. If you want to be hardcore still, fly without the chutes. : )I\'ll probably tune that behavior out in the next release along with taking another pass over the textures. That won\'t be for a couple weeks, though. For now, enjoy!And let me know if there\'s anything else you\'d like to see changed, fixed, improved. Keep in mind:RCS doesn\'t work for rotation due to a KSP problem.The flaps cause madness when using the roll keys (Q/E), also due to a KSP problem.Can\'t fix those until HarvesteR does.

Warringer Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 RCS is broken with rotation currently, I think.I don\'t mean only rotation. I mean pitching and yawing as well. Translation works through.It feels like an unyielding SAS in in effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aevionknight Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Pitch/yaw is rotation. It\'s broken on roll/pitch/yaw, all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest meteorite 101 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 um when i close the game it fails so i took out those files and the game never did that again but when i tried the parts again and i went to launch pad it did not load an the launch pad screen went horizontal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
