Kurotenshi Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Quick and easy fix:Instead of having each outer stack feed into the core, just hook half of them up together, and hen let the last one feed into the coreLook at the fuel lines in this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Quick and easy fix:Instead of having each outer stack feed into the core, just hook half of them up together, and hen let the last one feed into the coreLook at the fuel lines in this oneActually, I found the problem to be a couple (or more, I didn't check one by one, I just took the whole mess out) round tanks clipped into each other in the middle. It you take those out and put a single unclipped tank, it draws fuel perfectly with the lines as symmetrical as they are (I re-put them one by one since the drop tanks are not put on with symmetry, which is a good thing). And if you need more fuel on the core (a single toroidal tank is pretty frugal), don't clip tanks on top of each other: if you use a node twice, it breaks fuel flow.Rune. Hope that helps too.

Kurotenshi Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 @DarthI couldn't resist tinkering with you Briz-M some more, so here's my adapted versionI threw out the RCS, and removed the clipped tanks (10 of them, I counted ) I about halved the capacity on the KM-part, but it somehow hasn't affected overall performance much.For comparison:The original had 3694m/s dV (1581 in the drop tank, 2113 in the core) and 460m/s RCS-dV when completely empty. My adaptation has 3848m/s dV (1977 in the drop tank, 1870 in the core), no fine-tuned RCS manoeuvring, but 15 parts less.*These numbers are from mechjeb, and are the atmospheric values* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Lazarus Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 @Kurotenshi: i tested your altenate Briz-M. good things you did with the core, but i want to keep the RCS like the real one for attitudecontroll. i think i will build a combination of both...working on a payload for my Proton K ...

Roflcopterkklol Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Hmm think it would be worth making an SSTO version of this plane guys? Just a really complicated design is all, takes a lot of effort to get it to work so i can see the SSTO being double the head ache.If you are wondering why no part clipping stacks of ram airs, my de bug menu is gone forever, my function keys all stopped working.do like the aesthetics of what i came up with to get past that problem lol.

I never needed to use it. I wanna point out a couple of problems with your design - - you're using those long cones, each weights 400 kilograms. You have about 17 tons of them! O_O- Some of the intakes are pointed sideways: they are losing their effect if they aren't pointed to prograde! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to stack the air intakes on top of each other, i cant seem to do that without the debug menu, i could lose a good 50 ton on the design probably more if i could just have a stack of 20 intakes on either side of the fuel tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overfloater Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Here's my method:- turn off symmetry- put tiny cubic strut to the side of a fuel tank(or anything else)- put an intake on both ends of the cube (facing forward!)- grab the cube- turn on symmetry- place it!OR you can use small fuel tanks, and place the intake on both ends (facing forward!)Just remember to turn on symmetry only after you placed your intakes on the cube/fuel-tank.

Giggleplex777 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) I improved the upper stage a bit so that it can send 100t farther than just 75km orbit (goes up to 150km now).I'm struggling to find a name for this rocket. Some names I though of:-Antares (Rival of Ares V)-Centurion (100 tonnes)Can anyone think of a better name?Meanwhile, I built two "mini" Saturn V(ish) derivatives:About 27t and 36t to LKO respectively. I based it off the scale of the Odysseus STS, since its payload capacity is about 1/5 of the real life Space Shuttle it is based off of (~5t vs 27t, so ~27t vs ~130t). At this scale, the LV10A would have a lifting capacity of 500t in real life! Edited October 3, 2014 by Giggleplex777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some names I though of:-Antares (Rival of Ares V)-Centurion (100 tonnes)Can anyone think of a better name?Meanwhile, I built a "mini" Saturn V(ish) derivative:http://i.imgur.com/QawHI2K.pngAbout 27.5t to LKO. I based it off the scale of the Odysseus STS, since its payload capacity is about 1/5 of the real life Space Shuttle it is based off of (~5t vs 27t, so ~27t vs ~130t). At this scale, the LV10A would have a lifting capacity of 500t in real life!Looking good Giggleplex! I noticed in the exploded view that you used the TR-XL Stack Separator below the fourth stage engines. I rarely use those anymore, as surprising as it sounds a TR-2C Stack Separator works fine even with larger part sizes. If you used the TR-2C attached to the node between the two poodles then the cubic strut below the TR-2C attached to the stage below you wont be left with a cubic strut between the poodles. Its a minor thing but it looks better. Something I know you and I strive for. The SP+ fairing looks great. Looks like Apollo craft are finally going to be able to built 'all white'.

Giggleplex777 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Looking good Giggleplex! I noticed in the exploded view that you used the TR-XL Stack Separator below the fourth stage engines. I rarely use those anymore, as surprising as it sounds a TR-2C Stack Separator works fine even with larger part sizes.

Its a minor thing but it looks better. Something I know you and I strive for. I've tried that before. The TR-2C is much weaker than the TR-XL and requires more struts. 100t is very heavy.
