pTrevTrevs Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 That's a spot-on replica! I love the way you used the airbrakes for the pop-out "wings" on it. I should mention that it can't really fly in the atmosphere. The second picture was taken after a failed attempt to fly it to orbit on a giant SRB with wings. Next time I'll just use hyperedit.As for the airbrakes, they have a strange problem which involves them not responding to action groups. I can't use the default brakes action group because it would prevent me from using the wheel brakes, so I set them to extend/retract with AG1, but when I hit that action group in flight, nothing happens. As soon as I iron out these small bugs and confirm that it can maneuver at least in space, I'll release it. Provided I don't get distracted by Silent Hunter 5 again, I can probably get this out tomorrow or Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbia Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Welp, had little time for KSP today. B-17 rebuild is stuck on other laptop, and so are many of my assemblies. I hope I'll have time to play KSP a bit soon..Also, I had to already make a list because of the ever-growing amount of projects I start and end. Another factor is time invested. My B-17's airframe was started in August 3, and the thread was uploaded August 23 (took long enough) while I released a Not-Really-Me-262 "replica" same day that it was constructed, but the idea of using 2.5 m parts to cram in more detail was in my head long enough.Here it is. There is mild ranting about the nature of some aircraft.Maybe I'll actually do something productive in KSP soon instead of trying to build fuselages out of radiators and wings.

Bubbadevlin Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 So, i had the bright idea to try and make a REAL SIZED Apollo replica.... going along pretty well but i only have the Command Module done... I am truly scared of what this thing will be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pTrevTrevs Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Someone else showed me the answer, set the sirbrakes to retract in the brakes action group.But what if I want them to be able to extend and retract with action groups? Will I need to set a different AG to extend them? It's not really a problem, the only Custom AG being used currently is AG 1, so I have nine others, not including the ones like RCS, SAS, and Lights.

Kurotenshi Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 has anyone exact numbers of the payload capaticity of the Delta IV series? (medium 5.2 & 5.4 and heavy) most numbers i find have a range from 9 to 28 (!!) tons and i'm a bit confused nowand does anyone know the weight of the current Orion ?I found these numbers on the wikipedia page: [table=width: 500, align: left][tr] [td][/td] [td]RS-68[/td] [td][/td] [td]RS-68A[/td] [td][/td][/tr][tr] [td][/td] [td]LEO[/td] [td]GTO[/td] [td]LEO[/td] [td]GTO[/td][/tr][tr] [td]Delta IV M+(5,2)[/td] [td]10,58t[/td] [td]5,43t[/td] [td]10,22t[/td] [td]5,49t[/td][/tr][tr] [td]Delta IV M+(5,4)[/td] [td]13,45t[/td] [td]7,43t[/td] [td]12,82t[/td] [td]7,30t[/td][/tr][tr] [td]Delta IV Heavy[/td] [td]22,98t[/td] [td]13,40t[/td] [td]25,98t[/td] [td]14,22t[/td][/tr][/table]These numbers were found on spaceflight101.com:[table=width: 500, align: left][tr] [td]Delta IV M+(5,2): 11,06t to LEO5,43t to GTO[/td] [td]Delta IV M+(5,4): 13,77t to LEO7,43t to GTO[/td][/tr][tr] [td]Delta IV Heavy (RS-68): 22,95t to LEO13,13t to GTO[/td] [td]Delta IV Heavy (RS-68): 25,98t to LEO13,80t to GTO[/td][/tr][/table]The RS-68A upgrade is basically a thrust upgrade, mostly geared toward an increase in performance of the Heavy variant. For production ease, the other variants will have this engine as well, even though this means a small decrease in performance for most of the Medium variants. The RS-68 will be phased out starting march this year. Any fluctuations may be due to the Payload Attach Fitting which can weigh 240 kg to 1.221 kg, depending on the payload.As for Orion, the Wikipedia page states it will weigh 21,25t total (8,91t for the capsule , 12,34t for the service module). It will have 7,91t of propellant, resulting in a dV of ~1340 m/s.Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noname117 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Could the first one be a Supermarine Swift though? Neither the Hunter nor the Couger flew in the 1940s. I still think it is something else, as the Swift only entered service in 1954 (but it flew in 1948).EDIT: Maybe an F-86D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I was just landing a Bf 109, and near-hell catastrophe ensued, with a wing nearly gone.Jeb was lucky we fitted an ejection seat, otherwise he ded.Javascript is disabled.
