PhylumCnidaria Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) I have been working on jet fighters. I built a bunch of simple, small planes and learned something from each of them. This is the result. Also, might I add that the fuel flow priority feature and autostrut are 300000 IQ tools that everyone should use. Seriously, they are SO useful.

Triop Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Testflying my new spy plane, made the fuselage longer adding 400 LF (total 1600 LF) The nose has a camera Edited February 6, 2019 by Triop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servo Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I set out to make a kerbal-scale aircraft with all the details of a 1:1 model and... failed. As it turns out, this one is still about 10% bigger than I was targeting. This may wind up getting finished and released, but not as a Kerbal-scale model. With that in mind, I did what any rational actor would do, and chose a plane that was 10% larger. Here's progress where I left it for the day.

prgmTrouble Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Finished the cockpit and most of the fuselage. This is the first time I've made landing gear & fuel tank cockpit, so any tips or tricks would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triop Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 When I attached my wings I forgot about my cargo bay, the wings locks my buggy so it would explode when released. Fixed it and tested buggy drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HB Stratos Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) @Mad Rocket ScientistWell, I disabled the action group, but it probably would. It´s very light and has a huge wing area Also if you got an Nvidea graphics card get nvidea experience to record, 1080p with no frame drops at all.

Hotel26 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) 17 hours ago, Triop said: A tight fit . . . I enabled the rear-wheel steering in order to make it easier to wiggle under the cargo bay. (you can tweak this temporarily, too, to reset it when you drive away.) I found if I drove straight in, it worked pretty well. But if I was more pains-taking in the approach, it was harder to get lined up!! After about an hour of fooling around, I realized that the KSP 1.6 "slip-sliding around" bug of the waiting cargo plane was what was defeating me!! The airplane was moving south slowly like a glacier. Don't that beat all!? So then I just drove up by the side of the cargo bay on the "downhill" side (south at KSC) and patiently waited for the gd-plane to slide over the fuel truck... then dropped its gear to make the transporter 'sit' while I loaded the rover. Now, ain't that grand!? Edited February 10, 2019 by Hotel26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
