Well, I did the same, but I don't know why, I read an already built rocket and it will float automatically. And after I ignited, I couldn't produce acceleration to make it fly. Finally, I don't know why I used NTO without a flame (previously there was one). I am going to try to reinstall mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all float down here... Or maybe you had a part with negative mass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwaster Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 New Real Fuels release version 12.8.1 Addresses the 'lag' issue reported in VAB. and more cases fixed where the PAW wasn't being marked dirty. (if you don't tell the game that your PAWs are dirty then it won't clean them for you) https://github.com/NathanKell/ModularFuelSystem/releases/tag/rf-v12.8.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisias Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Hi! Dude, I was mangling with the code, learning things, and realized that Utilities/PartExtensions.cs is not committed on the repository. That's a bit scary because this file appears to be needed since January, and we already have a lot of releases with the repository incomplete. Thanks!

Nothing to be scared of; the file is marked as don't build and the project will compile without it. It's required for a special branch I was working on which doesn't perform its intended purpose satisfactorily which is why it is not part of the master branch. So it will remain uncommitted until it does what I need it to or unless it is rendered unnecessary due to hoped for Squad changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm specially interested on KSP changes over time, and Fuel Switches are one of the best sources for such information. Again, thanks!

linuxgurugamer Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Any chance that RF can get new solid fuel resources added? This would give a choice of solid fuel, giving different performance charactistics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps you're asking for engines that make use of them? Except that RF hasn't done its own engine configs in a long time. That sort of thing would need to go in one of the several downloadable engine packs out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not yet added different solid-fuel resources, however, so all solid fuel parts will need approximately 4.2315x as much SF as they had before to have the same total mass of solid fuel. I had based my question from the above line in post 3, where it was said that all fuel types were described. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's out of date and I don't think any of the resources are comprehensively documented. You'll need to refer to their config file. https://github.com/NathanKell/ModularFuelSystem/blob/master/RealFuels/Resources/SolidTanks.cfg That's just the tank defs. The actual resource configs are in the Community Resource Pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxgurugamer Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Yeah, the CRP is very helpful here: Tank def: Solid Not in the CRP, this is described in a comment in the tank defs as "Legacy" Tank Def: HTPB in the CRP describes it as HTPB, described in a comment in the tank defs as "Standard stuff" Tank Def: PBAN in the CRP it's described as PBAN, comment in the tank defs say "Shuttle SRB etc" Same for HNIW, NGNC, and PSPC HNIW comment in the tank defs says: "Speculative lower-smoke propellant (not in full production yet)" NGNC comment in the tank defs says "SPRINT missile, etc" PSPC comment in the tank defs says "Early propellant, pre-Aluminum. Think 'Tiny Tim'" At least in the tank definitions there is a one line comment for each fuel type, but it's really not helpful at all. In my research on this, I found the following: Double-base (DB) propellants: DB propellants are composed of two monopropellant fuel components where one typically acts as a high-energy (yet unstable) monopropellant and the other acts as a lower-energy stabilizing (and gelling) monopropellant. Composite propellants: A powdered oxidizer and powdered metal fuel are intimately mixed and immobilized with a rubbery binder (that also acts as a fuel). High-energy composite (HEC) propellants: Typical HEC propellants start with a standard composite propellant mixture (such as APCP) and add a high-energy explosive to the mix (not used that much) Composite modified double base propellants: Composite modified double base propellants start with a nitrocellulose/nitroglycerin double base propellant as a binder and add solids (typically ammonium perchlorate (AP) and powdered aluminium) normally used in composite propellants Minimum-signature (smokeless) propellants: One of the most active areas of solid propellant research is the development of high-energy, minimum-signature propellant using C6H6N6(NO2)6 CL-20 nitroamine (China Lake compound #20), which has 14% higher energy per mass and 20% higher energy density than HMX and the most interesting one for me: Electric solid propellants: Electric solid propellants (ESPs) are a family of high performance plastisol solid propellants that can be ignited and throttled by the application of electric current.

Starwaster Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Those having issues with the latest Real Fuels throwing exceptions in the VAB (and maybe something else; not clear on if there was worse than exceptions or not in the absence of clear concise bug reports) If you also have Deadly Reentry installed then download the latest DRE update: https://github.com/Starwaster/DeadlyReentry/releases/tag/v7.7.3 If you didn't already have Deadly Reentry and were having issues with the latest RF update then something else is wrong and you'll have to wait until I get back to Real Fuels because it will be something else breaking it.

Then that tank part was not configured with multiple tank types. They don't automagically allow any tank type. Not by default.
