Theonecalledblargh Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 IIRC, the Probe Shell doesn't have a decoupler, unless you want to fashion one out of the stock decoupler.OP, I have a bit of a question. Are the CBMs functional, I.E. will they hold an MPLM to my station in orbit, or am I SOL until docking is implemented? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashrutoraman Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Start by starting a new rocket. select the instrument ball command pod. Go to the "Structural and Aerodynamics" tab, and find the parts. The Heatshield goes below, and the Mach Chute or Aeroshell goes on top.Hope this helps.MaverickSawyerwhat you mean ''mach chute or aeroshell'' souldnt we use both of them?IIRC, the Probe Shell doesn't have a decoupler, unless you want to fashion one out of the stock decoupler. i found decoupler fits in it (oki still little tick but its oke) also found internal structure layer for non use instrument ball... i hope im able to use probe with remote tech later but need to apply some little antenas in there (maybe LH'SMun Excursion Module's little parts fits in it) ... (trying mars express-beagle 2, cassini-huygens style ) maybe i can take picture of surface thats enugh for the start i will upload screenshot decoupler and internal structure...there they are;lol seems like puzzle they are fits in consept of inside probe instruments internal structure from odin (novapunch)decoupler from novapunch (escape tower's ?)instruments from LH'SMun Excursion Module and probodobdiy kit, tiny camera from fixed cam mod(need to copy and work on parts adding remote to antena adding hull camera to little cam.. donno sas gonna work after decoupling? also antena and little cam gonna go beyond heatshield ? need animate it to deployable i will rescale parts from damned robotic-donno maybe they dont work at this scale :Z didnt tryed yet) Edited September 1, 2012 by ashrutoraman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaverickSawyer Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Wow! That looks awesome! As for a decoupler for the whole problem I found that the tiny decoupler from NovaPunch fits it perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashrutoraman Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) ye its fits but needs to be little thin for placing 2 of them inside maybe rescale will work for it also but donno how to keep its radius and make it thin? maybe its not cause a problem i wll try ... still waiting for Pelf's offical one also Edited September 2, 2012 by ashrutoraman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelf Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 I made a decoupler version of the heatshield and a new backshell which can decouple. As soon as I make a parachute for the instruments ball I'll release them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I make a parachute for the instruments ball I'll release them all.Cool. I was toying around with modding the .cfgs and made some prototypes. the results were VERY cool.Also, my attempt to strengthen the connections between the Mach Chute and whatever it's attached to is NOT any good when opening the chute normally at 3500 m/s and 40,000 m. (yes, you read that right.) I went ballistic to the point of almost reaching escape velocity, then engaged another motor just before reentry. chute just tore off the moment that it went to semi-deployed. even with the connection made 100 times stronger...

Pelf Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Started on aeroshells for rovers and landers:This one is 1.8m in diamter. There's a smaller one that is 1m in diameter. I also started on a lander but I don't have it at a point where I want show it. It will be like the Phoenix and Mars Polar landers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nori Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Love the parts in this pack. I couldn't make all my awesome orbital stations without it.One thing that bothered me a bit though is the mass of the 6-way hub connector. At 1.5 mass it just weights too much compared with other parts of similar size. I reduced it to 0.4 in the config for myself as that is closer to a weight I would think it is. So now I can actually use it as a hub for spaceships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashrutoraman Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 its looking great is it gonna come with its own control module or we can put something on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaverickSawyer Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Nah, at 1.8m, we can fit a skycrane inside it. Just need to have enough thrust for the largest planets in 0.17... Probably still Kerbin, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaijar Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hey, guys. I'm just wondering if anyone has found a fix for the 'cannot enter full capsule' problem. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibb31 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 That happens because the CrewCapacity is set to 0 in the CFG file. Just change it to some other value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot attach anything to the 4 horizontal surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
