NovaSilisko Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 How long will it be until someone makes Optimus Prime after this is released?No idea. Right now, it\'s a fairly hacky solution, but it works well enough to be considered early release quality. Eventually I want to clean it up, but for now it will do.

InsomniacSR Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Wanted to say that I\'m really enjoying the new parts pack. Cannot wait for future updates. Wanted to share some launch images from my first munar mission using your new pack. Personally wasn\'t crazy about the orange fairings, but nothing a few min. in photoshop couldn\'t fix.Was really stable during launch, and responded well to pitch corrections. I do have a Mechjeb ASAS module on my ship, but I only use it for the orbital information window. Thanks again. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 @insomniac: Thanks! I think I might include those black skins of yours as an alternate pack when the next release comes around. With your permission of course.In other news, I can\'t stop playing with these hinges: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sordid Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I\'m sorry, I can\'t take that seriously. Firstly, the fighter form\'s guns seem to be bigger than its engines. But more importantly, the mecha form has high heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoot Knight Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 That\'s because A: Its GAU-11 is a three-barrel, 55mm rotary cannon, and B: The engines are thrust-vectored, so its sole and heel are vectoring fins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest meteorite 101 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 the small capsule is so cute but its says it fits three so i just thought how cramped it would have been Also Wanted to say that I\'m really enjoying the new parts pack.

Arrowstar Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hey Nova, I just downloaded your updated pack (the Alpha 1) and noticed that the engines seem to be offset from their decouplers when building rockets, making the the engine (and everything about it) look like it\'s floating. Any chance those attachment nodes can get moved up some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance those attachment nodes can get moved up some?I think this is similar to another question that was answered with this:I made it that way so you can fit fairings around it. The fairing pieces are exactly 0.5m tall, and the distance between the lip on the orbital engine and the bottom node is exactly 1m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest meteorite 101 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 is it possible to make Prbodobodyen Core 2 back to its original size in version 4 or keep the small one and just put a bigger one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoot Knight Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 You\'re using two different sizes. The larger panel would stack twice to fill in that space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSilisko Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I don\'t know if my install is somehow bugged, but this is what I\'m seeing:Don\'t use the decoupler fairings for engines. You can if you want, but there will be a gap. I\'ll add a 0.25m high piece for your construction pleasure, though =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hielor Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Why are the fairings orange, anyway? The shuttle\'s ET is orange because that\'s the color of the insulation used to keep the LO2 and LH2 at the proper temperatures. It doesn\'t really make sense on fairings, since they\'re not insulating anything...it would make a lot more sense for fuel tanks to be orange...

Spoot Knight Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 By that logic it wouldn\'t make any more sense since the tanks don\'t hold a specified fuel type, they all hold unnamed, generic liquid fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
