- a good dozen of parts for SP+

- something for NovaPunch

- some things for Infernal Robotics

- some nuclear engines for possibly a new mod

- non KSP related things

After seeing your work on the variable mode mini-LVN, I'd be super down for a Porkjet motors pack.

Ok here's a couple of things that might be worth showing.

This shows the progress on the 'specialized' parts http://i.imgur.com/Yfgm8Ag.jpg

This is the radial cockpit, actually it would be quite helpful to get some feedback on this so tell me what you think.

(I'm not 100% sure about the triangular windows)

Those all look fantastic. I think that on the cockpit, the 2nd window piece, ought to extend the whole way back, a la F-86(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/75/F-86a_sabre_fu-178_kemble_arp.jpg).

Looks good to me. I feel like there should be one more large window on the back, but that's also a prime spot for a hatch, and you wouldn't actually be able to see it from IVA anyway.

Whoa, very nice! I have 2 minor comments:

1. On the tail piece that tapers down to a flat edge (first image, 2nd part from the right), might I suggest a slightly pointed 'chevron' shape to the trailing edge? As seen on the B2 'Spirit' Stealth Bomber. Doesn't need to be drastically pointed, just enough of an angle to match the angled wings that are already in SP+, the ones that attach on the shorter edge. Which version is your choice. Or, perhaps offer variations of the part, one each of the 2 different wing angles, plus the straight version shown in the picture. :D What can I say, I like to be spoiled for choice, lol.

2. I think that the radial cockpit really should be a full bubble canopy, as with all modern fighter jets. The F-14, F-15, and F-16 canopies are examples of what I mean. My 2 cents. :) Otherwise the part looks great!

Later, Porkjet! :D

this!

the other parts look awesome, please keep up the good work :)

(and maybe add a bigger landing gear, dualwheeled would be cool :D)

Thanks guys, your words are very encouraging.

@ Neutrinovore: regarding that flat tailpiece, the original design had exactly such an angled edge. I then changed it thinking it would allow to attach control surfaces there more easily, but after some playing around I feel that it doesn't work out that great and also doesn't look as good. The original part had a 22.5 degree angled edge.

As undecided I am weather to have a flat or angled edge, so seem to be peoples requests. I may just have to add different versions.

Porkjet. Just wanted to tell you your LANTR has quickly become my go to lander engine for airless bodies. I have the mode toggle on the same action group as one of the Smart Parts fuel flow cutters to switch between LFO and L only tanks. It even forces mechjeb to display dv in only the selected tank so I know how much dv I have for orbital vs landing ops. Great part. Hope you decide to do that full NTR pack or at least a L only NTR to match the other. NTRs that are realistic and stock a like are sorely lacking.

Not sure if you checked the Novapunch thread, Porkjet, so I'll also post it here: that Freyja IVA is AMAZING. I haven't tried it in-game yet, but from the pictures, it's on par with the KSOS IVAs.

Thx guys! Glad you like this stuff.

@slightlylyons: I plan to provide an optional MM config that would patch the LV-N to be LiquidFuel only, aswell as add the Firespitter fuel-switch to every fuel tank so you can tweak the tanks to contain LF + Ox / Liquidfuel only / Oxidizer Only

I figured I'd best put this here and not the release thread, but anyway, I've encountered... A PROBLEM! *DRAMATIC THUNDER*

Right, the radial intakes, the ones that change colour?

7CZgFqb.png

They lag things to hell and back when you put more than a few on a craft, regardless of whether you're using black or white (or both). Even 2 intakes makes the game performance decrease very slightly, I've noticed, but not to the point that it becomes annoying. 6 or more and you're going to have a bad time. I know that the colour changing function is brand new, still in the works, and is therefore probably the culprit, but I thought I'd point out that these intakes don't play nice. I'm not sure if anyone else has reported this, and if they have then I must have missed it.

Still, the rest of the parts from both SP+ and the Habitat pack are great, in case I haven't yet sung my praises for them, so good work thus far :)

I have not noticed any lag when using the intakes and I have more a few on some SSTO's. Perhaps it is a bad install. Nice looking plane btw.

Also Porkjet great work on these parts! Have been using these with NEAR and I am enjoying them immensely. Looking forward to those WIP parts.

Sorry, no. Not buying it. It's not like they're sitting there cycling color all the time. And it's not like the color changing feature (texture swapping really) is something unknown and unproven.

I find them to perform the same as any other intake.
