WhiteKnuckle Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Teaser shot of a heavy cargo VTOL, just need to sort out some landing gear issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen_Heart Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Precision landing is a new thing for me. Come to think of it so is landing with a payload...And so is building a base...And I've never quicksaved...What could go wrong here?Anyway I'll attach the modules when I bring down the rover. Just having them near each other is good enough for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon0009 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 yup, N1 needs a lot more work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen_Heart Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Well the base is coming along quite smoothly but the metal plate won't come off the front of the rover making it useless. Trying to find a way of removing it without destroying the rest of the rover.I could bounce the connecting tubes into place due to their reaction wheels which was pretty fun!

Please don't tell me I have a parent part bug in there. The metal plate is supposed to be connected to the I-beam, which is connected to the rover by a 0.625m decoupler. If that bugged somewhere along the build (after I had used it countless times, of course! ) ... screw it, I no longer use that packaging method in the new version that lands itself. I think I'm focusing the development of that one to supersede all other versions, and that should take care of that.But just in case, the rovers packaged on the Dao don't have those structural elements either.Edit: Or you could try Chop it!, which should solve your particular issue, and let you remove the extra landing gear too after you are done building the base.Rune. Will I ever have a bug-free release? Edited January 28, 2015 by Rune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I undocked that part of the package its (and the crane) went into an uncontrollable spin and the camera flew away somewhere. Eventually it just teleported away. I found it 100km higher than it was a second ago and on a suborbital course. Managed to save it as once it was found again it seemed to work fine.

Then I think it really has something broken, and I can even venture the guess that it had something to do with the upgrade to 0.90. That assembly pre-dates it, and I had fishy things happen with a couple that went through the version change docked to a station in my save. Nothing quite like yours, but it is a clippy arrangement. In any case, the newest, stupendous version shouldn't have those issues, or the one on the Dao which is already released, so things can wait until I test it properly this time. I swear I'm going to grab a vanilla version of the game, and just do a mission with the uploaded file to make sure!Rune. I call game bug on this one!

Guest Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) ____________FIREBIRD Old wings only challenge complete Ultra-cute ultra-light plane flying in FAR (notice the perfect body drag shape 7 tanks 2 stayputnik)can fly for 5mins approx (depends a lot on throttle) and reach around 15Gwith vernor control, SAS, & tutti quanti ..Vid coming up this eveningI'll probably do some sort of "FAR pack" at the same timeNice base Rune, even though I won't really find a use for it, I applause the technical complexity. You seem to have trouble with parent part bug, you can try editing the part file in the notebook if you know where (which part) the problem comes from. Worked for me once or twice!http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah315/Yukon0009/screenshot14503_zpswedybkas.pngyup, N1 needs a lot more workEpic wobble times! lol Edited January 28, 2015 by RevanCorana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellow314 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 4 Kerbal shuttle which may have been inspired by watching Interstellar so I call it a Ranger.

RocketPilot573 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Going well so far; I still have to due the dreaded double wing section though (to make them thick enough until Squads gives us bigger wings)...Don't mind the out of place looking wing connecter there, it will be removed.

RocketPilot573 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 First launch! Now to get it to fly properly on reentry..- - - Updated - - -Ok quick question: Anyone know why this cant fly straight? Yaw and thrust are not an issue. Whenever I turn away from prograde it flips and tumbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaw and thrust are not an issue. Whenever I turn away from prograde it flips and tumbles.http://i.imgur.com/o5sdYbe.jpgTake a really close look at the COL from bow to stern or vise versa. The little surfaces have a habit of putting it slightly off (like so slightly it may not be immediately apparent). Also, Grab the craft and move it around in the SPH keeping an eye on the COL as you move the craft around.

RocketPilot573 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 To elaborate a bit, when I pitch up or down in the VAB the CoL shifts in front and below the CoM. The only explanation I can think of is that the wings are too far down, which I cannot change due to this being a shuttle analogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
