[1.1.x] Space Shuttle Engines (2016-07-03)

[jake9039]

are there any non-b9 shuttles?

[sarbian]

Kerbin Shuttle Orbiter System use those engines

Component Space Shuttle is maintained too

Also TiberDyne Aerospace R&D Division - Shuttle System should still work.

I've used this mod when it was still mantained by dtobi, and loved it. After a few months playing stock only, I decided to give it another go, and just downloaded it and the KM gimbal plugin. But now the game crashes as soon as the loading screen ends.

I do have several other mods, including the latest Mechjeb, RemoteTech, KWRocketry, Cacteye Telescope, EVE, DRE, Kerbal Construction Time, TAC life support, and Distant Object Enhancement. Is there a conflict between one of those and KM's shuttle engines?

[Hemius]

Hello!

I would like to know if there is a way to add KM Gimbal fonctionality to all engines (stock + other mods)? Is there a way to do it with module manager?

And is Gimbal Auto Trim working on 0.90 and not conflicting with KM Gimbal?

[sarbian]

Yes, it is easy to do with MM.

PART[*]:HAS[MODULE[ModuleGimbal]]
{
  @MODULE,*[ModuleGimbal]
  {
    @name = KM_Gimbal_3
    @yawGimbalRange = #$gimbalRange$
    @pitchGimbalRange =#$gimbalRange$ 
  }
}

Gimbal Auto Trim works for 0.90 but not with KM_Gimbal. I have to write the change but I did not find the motivation yet.

[Hemius]

I'm sorry for disturbing again but what would you sugges like optimal Yaw and Pitch gimbal range for stock engines?

[Hemius]

Actually, I've tried to add Gimbal to stock engines, but it makes engines useless. When I tried to put them on ship in VAB they was ignited and they not appeared in staging list. I don't know what to do...

Hey sarbian, thanks for the mod. Is there a way I can get the gimbal stuff to work with engines from other mods? I've tried to do it with a FASA engine (only by pasting the 'KM_Gimbal_3' module into the config) and while I get the proper menu when I right-click, the sliders have no effect. Is there a solution to this? I'd love to use the trim feature on other engines.

Thanks,

jb

[sarbian]

KM_Gimbal_3 use separate values for yaw and pitch range, so you need to set yawGimbalRange and pitchGimbalRange

You could aloso use a MM patvch that replace all gimbals that I posted earlier

[Coga19000]

Judging from the fact that they are a requirement for COmponent Space Shutle, I take it that they have realistic enough stats to use for RSS?

No, it's the plugin the engines use that's required as CSS's engines use the same gimbal code as these. CSS has it's own engine that is balanced for a stock game, though an RSS/FAR config is available for that.

[NasaSpace101]

Has anyone made a sls with these parts yet?

[V8jester]

I love these engines! I cut my part count in half switching to these engines over using sas and rcs to keep a shuttle on course. And the main tank keeps everything nice and stable as well.

[ironhawx]

Hey love this mod, will this be getting updated to work w/ the 1.0 update? also you think it be possible to create a rear mount for large engines to work w/ stock mk3 now that they've added shuttle wings in 1.0? I don't want to ask a lot, just know three 500's (1500) doesn't quite lift the mk3 w/ an orange tank payload in it, and the 1500 engine to big, as well as no good srb to accompany that. just a wish list on my part is engines that can work well w/ the mk3, as well as have the proper rear mount for them. Anyways great mod been enjoying it for months. Bravo sir.

[sarbian]

I am not the original maker and I just host those. I will update the plugin part of those engine but the model will stay as they are unless someone who can model want to update them (I have all the required files).

[Angelo Kerman]

@sarbin: What format are the engine files in? I need 3.75m fuel tanks for DSEV, and I like the ones in tthis mod. Perhaps we could work a trade?

[sarbian]

Blender. Get the files, but please mention it comes from Dtobi work.

https://ksp.sarbian.com/Klockheed_Martian/Distribution/SSE/

[Angelo Kerman]

Blender? Ugh. I have to resize everything, I work with 3DS Max. Oh well, I'll probably end up resizing the tanks I made. But I might still be able to help with the engine, sounds like they just need their "tank butts" removed?

[frencrs]

Looks like these need the new ModuleSurfaceFX added to them along with a few tweaks to ModuleEngines, plus the new "bulkheadProfiles" parameter added to PART. I'm going to test some cfg changes.

KM_Gimbal and KM_PreLaunchEffects seem to work for the most part, but I haven't tried everything.

Main issue is the nodes not attaching, surface attachment works when forced with EditorExtensions.

[Woodstar]

Anyone know how quick this will be updated?

[Ravien]

Sarbian probably waits for new ferram's with update

[Taki117]

This is a must have mod for me! Please keep up the good work (And take your time!)

[frencrs]

**Removed link, official release is out**

Okey Dokey guys here is a unoffical reconfig:

KM SSE Unoffical Reconfig for Kerbal 1.0

I've fixed all the problems I've had with the engines in the download, post if you find more problems.

Some of the nodes might still be a little too high or too low, just adjust the position in the editor Offset Mode.

-Fixed engine nodes being screwy.

-Fixed tank nodes being screwy.

-Changed to reflect Squad's new engine stuff.

-Added surface FX.

-Added bulkheadProfile, which I assume is for the new stock aerodynamics.

Still trying to figure out why the engineFX flame doesn't stop when the engine runs out of fuel. It stops with the throttle or if the engine is on or off, but not with a flameout engine.

*UPDATED*

Re-uploaded file with the engineFX problem fixed.

*UPDATED again*

Fixed surfaceFX
