sashan Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Would everything be OK if I re-add stiffening to WingProcedural parts? I have slight problems with large b9 pwings being too wobbly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSgt Baloo Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Love this mod. Everything I built prior to this was too willowy unless you festooned it with struts. Sometimes even that couldn't save it. Again, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris-Barboris Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) @ferram4 Would you consider handling strut's angular drives (especially drive.positionSpring) not in common manner of MOI * const, but in unrelated to environment way, simply constant, or maybe constant / (strut.length + 1.0)? Currently, i find struts under KJR absolutely useless in strapping wings to fuselage to stop angular stress, because they provide inadequately small forces. They are metal rods in the end, not smart tissues. edit: never mind, fixed locally. Also, found a bug in stock DragCubeSystem, that kills struts to render part and throws NullRefs, wich leave struts as mock objects with no attachpoints.

Currently, i find struts under KJR absolutely useless in strapping wings to fuselage to stop angular stress, because they provide inadequately small forces. They are metal rods in the end, not smart tissues. There's a simple construction method to remedy this. Take a look at real life, for example a bridge. Building triangles is the solution. For example you wish to connect wings to a 1.25m fuel tank: clip the wings until their roots touch each other on the inside of the fuel tank. Now place two short I beams flat on the bottom and top of the tank and use offset to slide them inside until they're no longer visible. Zoom with the camera to the inside of the tank, now you can place a few struts from the center of the I beams to the outer most point before the wings leave the tank, 45deg angle is the best. This method isn't far from some real world examples. Anyway, I build very strong airplanes using a number of methods, never use KJR except for building naval vessels with my own mods, being 1000 to 10000 times as heavy compared with stock KSP. Copy real world examples and experiment. Edited January 31, 2016 by Azimech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SneakyRobot Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I don't know if this has been suggested before, but I want some kind of MEGA KJR. I have a lander on Eve that flips out and explodes every time I load a scene. I need to make it completely invulnerable until everything settles down.

Spheniscine Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I believe that KJR might have a bug/oversight: The Advanced Grabbing Unit (aka the "Klaw") seems to be too stiff when the pivot is freed; I can hardly get it to budge so that I can center asteroids right. (On the other hand, stock klaws wobble too much when the pivot is locked :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferram4 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 @SneakyRobot: If your lander is still flipping out and exploding even after KJR's nearly 1 second of physics easing and invulnerability, then your design is either not viable under Eve's gravity or it has spawned inside the ground, and I can't do anything about either of those. @Spheniscine: Likely needs an exception of some kind to the extra stiffening. However, it will then be just as stiff as stock with that change, but I see no problem with that, given that flexible joints like that should be less stiff overall.

Rushligh Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'm aware that KJR disables it's self in the x64 version (which i am using a workaround of 1.0.5) I've nerve had any glitchy issues at all, in fact, x64 runs 1000times better on my computer than the stock 32bit ever did. anyway, i was wondering if there's a way to force enable KJR in x64, or get a version that supports it? im sure the publisher had good reason to do this, but yolo.

Vanamonde Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Seeing as the pre-release is less than a day old, one might allow some time for the mod-maker to respond. Assuming he/she wishes to do so, for which there is no obligation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smorfty Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Tried version 3.1.4 in KSP 1.1 prerelease and it seems to just not do anything. Everything is as wobbly as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferram responded on a Reddit thread that his copy of KSP is not through Steam so he does not have access to the pre-release. As well, he doesn't (rightfully) feel like supporting both 1.0.5 and 1.1 as long as 1.1 will be undergoing development releases.
