Overfloater Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Duna delivery will have to wait, something came up o _ OA custom shuttle I've been fiddling with, while ya'll been busy with all your fancy replicas ;-DDoors aren't finished, and I don't feel like finishing them because they already work perfectly fine... xDIf i somehow manage to make the wings look better, that would be super OK.

Gue__1 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yeah it's very hard to create a so called "3D wing". How many parts is it?Gue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Cool one Overfloater! I think it qualifies for the Shuttle showcase thread. How does your hinge work, if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overfloater Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thanks Rune :]Both doors are carefully placed on "structural pylons", attached to the bottom I-beam. They are pushed by landing wheels.(I just made some tests and found out they are the most flexible part, like everyone said...)The problem with wheels is when they're fully extended the doors slip back to their position, but they push much more effectively than landing-legs.Yeah it's very hard to create a so called "3D wing". How many parts is it?GueThe whole plane along with the dummy payload (10.01 tons) is 262 parts so far.There's no way I make flat wings for such a thick plane and call it a finished project!

Mesklin Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Manned ion mini plane, landing and back on Dune, Mun, Eeloo, Ike and less bodies, landing only on Kerbin, Laythe and Eve, ~8k dV. Final testing and polishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mareczex333 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) (I just made some tests and found out they are the most flexible part, like everyone said...)That's was my secret of cargo bay and crane Problem was to make it stiff for flight moments or other. It will become wobbly if it is placed like that.I found solution to dock two pieces for motion moments and undock for action (like opening bay) Edited July 30, 2014 by Mareczex333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade Jenkens Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I've managed to get most of the kinks in this ironed out now. Not sure on how to do the top fairings right though.495 tons on the Launchpad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Looking good Jenkens! I'd say the only option with that level of detail is a godawful amount of I-Beams to do the long conical fairing in two halves like you should. And hang the CM from those! (That is much more complicated). Part count won't be your friend, and mass even less, but you have enough Oomph in there to accommodate with a bit of optimization. For example, you don't even need as much as half the fuel for the CM unless your Lander is really heavy because it carries too much ballast.Rune. The bugfixing seems (almost) over for me. Yay!

Exothermos Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 That's gonna be quite the challenge. I love the nosecone made of nosecones X). Its surprisingly well-smoothed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusTurbo Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm note sure it's possible or useful to try to use the size 3 tanks for this. I may do a cargo bay version later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Keep at it Gus! But I warn you, the only way I made this work was putting the Vernors at the tip of a much longer ET, giving them almost twice the arm yours have to work with. And the width of the 3.75m tanks doesn't help, as I can sense by your last post. Balance it right or put lots of reaction wheels!Rune. OTOH, seeing how much they cost, I wish I could have put them on the Orbiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exothermos Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 This is one of my current obsessions. Trying to get a chemical rocket SSTO that lifts 2 jumbo 64s to orbit... and fit it in a Venture Star package. I'm close. I'm about 300 DV down at the moment (accounting for weight of wing elements to come.) It's a surprisingly easy rocket profile ascent. It's going to take a lot of careful tinkering with wing parts to keep that ascent so compliant.Any Tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusTurbo Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 You might try different engines for higher isp, since those ones got nerfed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenchant Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) I love the new monopropellant engines!

Ravenchant Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Interstage ring - now with 100% fewer explosions!

Rune Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Also, show the heatshield already! Hum. It's not that difficult to figure out I think. A Rockomax Brand adapter 02 under the blue decoupler with another decoupler under it joining it to the rocket, all covered up in M-Beam I-Beams? There might be another adapter upside down under it to make the SM look better after the staging event, that one is difficult to see.Rune. Then again, I have quite a bit of experience looking at KSP builds ^^' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
