Kerbal Engineer and RAPIER Engine

[MKI]

Im curious about the .23 version(6.1.5 Engineer version) of Kerbal Engineer and its Delta-V Calculations of the RAPIER engine. Currently it gives me no response in the SPH building, or the panel shows no delta-v or TWR as any other engine would.

Is this just a personal problem, or the mod's?

The mod may not yet be updated for 0.23

The RAPIER is unique, there was never an engine like it before the latest release.

The Engineer author needs a bit of time to do the coding.

Yes there was.

B9- SABRE engine, which is what the RAPIER is based on.

(Makes me wonder if both are Wing Commander references...)

Probably not, but you'll have to ask Alan Bond

(Makes me tell you SABRE and RAPIER stands for Synergistic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine and Reactive Alternate-Propellant Intelligent Engine for Rockets, respectively and it is a real-life concept)

EDIT: Ninja'd, blast.

I think Engineer also has trouble the B9 SABRE as well?

It did for a while but it was fixed around version 6.14 or abouts. It still has problems calculating the delta V correctly, it assumes the ISP for the air breathing mode is the default mode and won't calculate for rocket mode. But it gives you the correct air breathing TWR and d/V.

Version 6.2 just became available, which claims to handle multi-mode engines like the RAPIER.
