Work-in-Progress [WIP] Design Thread

Recommended Posts

I know this is a stock work in progress thread, however, I cannot find a similar thread for mods. Is there any chance I could get some help with my swashplate heli I am designing? Or can someone direct me to a WIP thread that is for modded KSP? Thanks. (P.S. this is my first post I normally just read things, so any help is much appreciated :D).

Although this thread says its for stock craft many people post modded craft here so I think you will be ok posting here.

Refitted my MD-11 for KSP 1.0.4. The wings are.. rather too wide.

I like the "Lego" assembly of wings in KSP, But sometimes, I wish they were procedural. Not saying Lego wings are bad in any way, but..

Well ... for a start I used Better Buoyancy by Ferram, at least I get normal results (speeds up to 13m/s). With stock water I need a lot of air intakes to prevent a list, and max speed drops to around 2m/s.

It will be on KerbalX soon.

My first serious attempt at a SSTO in 1.04

I like the new aerodynamics system, but I miss being able to make fuselages out of wings and having them work well. Don't get me wrong - the new parts look awesome, it's just that planes seem to end up looking more similar than they used to. I wasn't trying for any sort of replica, but it ended up looking a bit like the love child of a Valkyrie and a SR-71.

Anyhow, still fooling around with it. Edit: I'm still working out the flight profile in 1.04, but so far it can haul around 10 tons into orbit.

With everyone building tanks nowadays I thought I'll give it a try.

It's not beautiful but the weapon stores take in a lot of space.
