Without water current or wind they stay where they are anyway :-) I was thinking more of fuel transfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaturnianBlue Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Work on the Bismarck continues, with the upper deck, the bridge, and almost all things in the aft superstructure complete. The main tower still needs to have work done to be completed. Over all though, the Bismarck is likely doing better than Prinz Eugen was at this stage, as i'm at 587 parts. 21 hours ago, Azimech said: I hope my little aircraft carrier can handle SaturnianBlue's Bismarck. Not in a direct confrontation of course. It was sank today by my heavy cruiser. Provided you don't use very slow Swordfish torpedo bombers with some luck....

WooDzor Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 New Tranquility + Cupola + PMA 3. Didn't like the big one I had before and realised it could look better the cupola looks better from a bit further away though , should be good, I've never seen the ISS up close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triop Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Working on a light VTOL using Juno engines. The part on the back is not a engine, but a intake. Balance is perfect, should I put wings on it ? Also working on this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the fuel tank behind the cockpit like that, either you "cheated" another tank in the cockpit, or the CoM will move forwards as you burn fuel, eventually getting to the point where torque is not enough and you go down. Rune. It looks very retro-futuristic, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I never knew I would say this.. but I'm having quite a lot of fun restoring airliners. I need to prepare for the possibility, though, that I'm going to have to restore MUCH more/ totally abandon this project because of the new landing gear coming up, see below; I mean, have you EVER seen a conventional passenger airliner with nose gear looking like this? Or a narrow-body passenger airliner with rear gear that have bogies with SIX wheels? (say, the B737?) So yeah, I think I'll have to find a low-tech solution of some sort.

selfish_meme Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I hardly know what game I am playing these days, so beautiful STS Testing continues, she's a Mk3 scale shuttle replica, handles beautifully in orbital manoeuvres and re-entry, tank and booster integration testing now, I am using @sgt_flyer's compound boosters and fairings, all to full mk3 scale. If she fly's to orbit as well as she handles now she might almost be my best work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that, I meant the number of tires on a wheel bogie, which will change as seen in the animation above -- I'm assuming you intend the pods that the gear retract to.

pTrevTrevs Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 After weeks of designing, testing, troubleshooting, and exorcisms, I have reached a point where I would be willing to release the Gato! Trust me, it may look cool, but it's still probably got a little evil left in it. Anyway, I'm still having troubles with getting the submarine to dive easily and still sit right in the water on the surface (even in the pictures, it's a little too low). If there's anyone who knows a thing or two about KSP buoyancy and how to make something sink and has some free time on their hands (and isn't afraid of this monster), I could certainly use some help in getting this thing balanced out, by this I mean I need someone else to take a look at the ship My design constraints are pretty simple: Make it able to dive fairly easily when you make it, but still have a waterline that doesn't look too bad. Any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated, and I will make sure to give credit where it is due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the doors (I can more or less live with that), it's the number of wheels in the set of landing gear changing in 1.1, which is a pretty big aesthetic issue in my case. Unless I misinterpreted the GIF preview, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not practical to use by any means unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
