SaturnianBlue Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I've made the wings bigger on my space shuttle, and it the COM and DCOM is almost at the same place now, but still it pitches towards the orbiter around 6Km up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well are you transferring fuel to the shuttle from the main tank as you launch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshift OTF Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 A quick look at my latest project:Javascript is disabled. View full albumIt flies amazingly well and can lift a 20 ton fuel tank. You can even turn off the basic jets and just use the Turbojets and it flies like a gyrocopter. I'll upload it after I've done a video.

SaturnianBlue Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I'm not using TAC fuel balancer, mainly because I don't want to add another required mod since I plan to release it, and I do have fuel lines running to the shuttle.

ghostbuzzer7 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 *kries in kornerhttp://i.imgur.com/FdJHrhL.jpgLooks like some strut problem back there pretty crazy that you build the bridge though.You should try adding arc to the main beam across just a tad to make it look like its undergoing compression and tension forces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimech Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Columbia, to reduce part count, why not take the long boosters (empty) instead of the structural fuselage?I smell a new challenge coming. Anyone of you played Pontifex in the past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majorjim! Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 *kries in kornerhttp://i.imgur.com/FdJHrhL.jpgLOL! What is an expendable ******? also, did you change the root part on that bridge? Try turning it in the VAB/SPH then loading it in game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Columbia struts don't save in subassemblyBut you can try moving the .craft from subassembly folder to sph folder maybe it works.

mellojoe Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Working on a colony ship. Part count is rising, though, and FPS are dropping.Each of the "drop-pods" can house 20 Kerbals, and uses a combination of the thruster on the bottom plus a "sky-crane" pair of engines above to set it onto some planetary body somewhere in the galaxy. The main craft should have somewhere around 5,000 delta-V when everything is connected. The main cockpit is the 3-man pod that I scaled up to "Orion" size, and is now a 6-man capsule.Still need to launch and dock the rest of the pods. Then, send up a refueling vessel to top it off, although the thing is mostly full as it stands now.

Columbia Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I finally have the first section of the bridge standing erect (Damn me and my dirty mind) and now I have to work on the last two sections, which I'll probably use booster stacks with.I worked it around by duplicating the section instead of saving it as a subassembly.

Columbia Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 That's a beautiful bridge! Wish we had cables in stock. What's the size?Thanks, it's actually pretty small, 4 meters width. It stretches through the entirety of the SPH, though.I wish I had thought twice before using Mk1 Fuselages.. SRB cans would've saved me a lot of lag.1839 parts is really, really insane.
