Guest Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) @ Technical Ben: Damn those service bay are really cute, but I can't find a use for it yet.@ Roflcopter: Maybe your front wings are causing some backward lift aka drag (looks cool tho). Which would eventually slow you down. Check the debug menu to toggle aero force visualisation, its the tab next to cheats with ALT+F12- - - Updated - - -Here's what kept me busy lately lol, testing my new copter hub (yes theres a spring made of SAS)Just to check if there's been changes to collisions (I think they did tweak it slightly) Edited April 28, 2015 by RevanCorana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technical Ben Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks RevanCorana, It is to hide the solar panels and batteries so far. But for this craft makes no real change in physics or part count. For later craft, interplanetary etc, it will help keep par counts down until deployed. So mainly for show and looks for now. Working on the mid stange with it's own recovery now. Love the copter. Do like me some autorotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Lazarus Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) that update ... i don't have updated my KER and other mods but just some took my rockets for testflights:Saturn IC - brokenAtlas - Mecury - brokenDelta IV medium - brokenDelta IV heavy - brokenSLS Block I - brokenall Orion missions - brokenSoyuz - brokenZenit 2 & 3 - brokenEnergia - brokenProton - workingthat was very unsuspected first flight of each craft was without changing things from 0.9, then changed fairings mostly to the new (ugly) ones.the rockets tend to flip over after reaching a speed of over 300 or 400 m/s, even when just going straight into teh sky without touching the D-key for going east .... some don't even lift off the only working one is my Proton, my little beloved baby ... at least i have a 20 ton lifter. i need to figure out some of the strange behaviors. it seems that the new aeromodel realy hates cliped parts, like on my ICPS or interstages or engineclusters. using wingsurfaces for interstages or parts of fairings is a deadly idea nowoh and ... going slow at first and gently accelerting is now how to get a rocket into space .... even the stock rockets fro msquad are shaking and wobbling and tumbling like mad Edited April 29, 2015 by Darth Lazarus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zucal Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The Dragon v2 and Falcon 9 are updated, minus a few small tweaks!Changelog:-Engine structure changed from 3-by-3 square to octaweb, true to original design.-First stage lengthened, same fuel tank used throughout for looks and fuel for landing.-Second stage shrunk, first stage does more work.-Legs sunk in more-Airbrakes added, as gridfins-Inset winglets on Dragon trunk changed to white small hardpoint, clipped winglet was causing instabilityRe-release tomorrow, on Zucal's Stock Storehouse. Along with Falcon Heavy and Soyuz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketPilot573 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) My reusable rocket still works in 1.0! Now with Fairings and Airbrakes!Gotta love that smoke effect!Launch profile has not changed: Straight up to 10km and turn right 8 degrees.2nd stage! Yay confetti!A solar array and an Ore scanner probe is the payload of the day!Airbrakes... AIRBRAKES!Steady.. Steady... Mechjeb is almost no help anymore because rotating the rocket changes it's course due to lifting body effect, therefore wildly changing the landing spot. I cant come in on course enough to use the autoland, so it's pretty much just a panic.I should also upgrade my platform. It has seen enough landings in .90 and has already sustained pretty bad damage, from broken RTGs to missing pontoons (airintakes).

Yukon0009 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Most of my craft were killed by 1.0. Time to go salvage hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbia Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Most of my craft were killed by 1.0. Time to go salvage hunting.Much of mine were too. Hell, my Ariane 5 replica doesn't even lift off the pad anymore! It's rather sad for such an awesome update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceXray Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Almost finished upgrading my VTOL dropship to 1.0Noteable changes are shorter body, flaps, airbrakes, new landing gear.Javascript is disabled.

sgt_flyer Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) i'm trying to resurrect torque engines with 1.0 - it operates really smoothly (the redesigned NCS adapter is much rounder than before ), but it seems a bit underperforming for now (even with the new atmo, the control surfaces seems way less effective than the old ones) (and the buggy SPH doesn't help with creating a plane to house it)At least, the engines takes barely more space than 1.25m Edited April 29, 2015 by sgt_flyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgt_flyer Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Yeh R-7 style has still a problem though gus any engine partially clipped inside the new fairings ends up deactivated Still waiting on a fix for that before continuing my R-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusTurbo Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 I've got a workaround for that issue as well. Just close the fairing early and fill in the empty space with parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
