HGR 1.875m parts R&D Thread [Mod reboot in progress] (First Dev build now available)

[NathanKell]

Conveniently/cheatily, DRE only checks whether the part's origin is shielded. So *probably* a 0.625m heatshield would shield a stack-connected pod above it.

[Orionkermin]

It should, I use the standard 1.25m shield as a workaround for the Radish and it can survive reentry from Minmus just fine with the default settings.

That's good, means I can set it up similar to the mk1-2 where it has the beginnings of a heat shield and then use a 1.875m shield that fills in the rest.

Trying on a lark, the fix for the radial chutes suggested in the other thread by Starwaster, as added to the SDHI part

@PART[RC_radial]
{
	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleAeroReentry
		adjustCollider = -0.015
	}
}

seems to have helped quite a bit. Basically, I don't want to make extra work on Orion if it's not needed

TerLoki might be able to try this as well. I just added the module at the front of the modules section in the part.cfg as a quick/dirty test.

[Orionkermin]

Did you add it to the pod or the parachutes? Just wondering because it'd be easy enough for me to add it in the next update.

[NathanKell]

"as added to the SDHI part"

[Orionkermin]

Whoops didn't catch that, a little sleepy.

-the inline chute is ugly...

I agree, that texture and model are hideous.

[NathanKell]

Even if I didn't like them (I do), that's *not* how you express constructive criticism folks. It's also just plain rude.

Agree 110%, plus I also happen to like it.

Well, im trying to tell him that i agree that it should be fixed...

I will agree that particular model could use some improvement, but there's no reason to be rude about it, come on, why is it people think the internet means they get to act with no social graces?

Well, it isn't a mostly finished parachute, so it isn't like saying your child is ugly, plus, he said he hates it.

In my opinion, the reentry model isn't round enough, and it could be grey-er. The red stripes don't really match with stock parts.

I agree. There's too much detailing to be stockalike.

[Z3R0_0NL1N3]

Are the parachutes compatible with RealChute?

[Orionkermin]

Are the parachutes compatible with RealChute?

No sorry, maybe at some point in the future. It's not a high priority for me at the moment however.

[Taki117]

I don't know how possible this would be, but it would be nice to attach things radially to the fins on top of the Soy-Juice module, also (And this is more of a personal thing) I believe the combo decoupler and parachute are too thick and causes the Onion Service module to stick up far too high.

[Green Skull]

Downloaded earlier, test flown and lovin these! Filling a gap in the real / stock a like area. Also fits in with the KSO - Fustek re-texture by Sippyfrog

What would be great, would be a stockalike 2-person lander pod. One that looks better than that awful lander can.

I think so too, it's something I might do in the future. Although most people just go with asset alcore.

[Pockrtplanesairways]

Make a Voskhod pod with service module. And a stock alike R7 launcher.

Um, let me reword your question. If you could make a Voskhod pod with service module and a stock alike R7 launcher that would be great. If not, that's okay. Please don't demand parts.

We may be speaking in english, but we are talking in a different language.

[Guest]

You'd better learn the language to make requests in, then. Oh, and check KW rocketry first, you already can make a stock-alike R-7. Voskhod is nearly the same as Vostok, and at "Kerbal" level there's no difference.

Anyway, R-7 would be nice and all, but I'd rather see a Long March 2E, Kerbal version. 2.5m with 1.25m LRBs and a truss decoupler. 3 lengths of tanks, a 1.25m booster engine, quad-nozzle 2.5m sustainer and a single-nozzle 2.5m upper stage engine with verniers. With an additional quad-nozzle 1.875m engine and a similar 1.25m one you'd be set for the entire Long March family besides the 1.

Either way, a Soyuz-style payload shroud would be an even better addition. With some effort, an LV can be made with other mods, but other than BobCat, noone has made a working Soyuz shroud (and his doesn't fit other mods).

Yes, a launch fairing for the Soy-Juice would be really appreciated, of course the service module still has to be sorted out before then.
