NathanKell Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Nevermind, I made a mistake by assuming 1Unit=1L=1kg liquidFuel . Don't remember when's the last time I played without RF.Ah, ok. I was going nuts trying to replicate :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camlost Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Ah, ok. I was going nuts trying to replicate :]Yeah, I don't remember/know why 1Unit=5kg. But I think you still need to include B9 config in RF, otherwise the fuel capacity will be too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 B9 v5.2+ should have its own built-in RF configs. I'll test and check in with Taverius if things aren't working right. You are using B9 v5, not v4, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacha Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Sorry if it's a stupid question, but do you have FAR installed? The stock aerodynamics has *MUCH* more drag than in real life.That's a fair question. Yes, I have FAR installed, I cannot stand playing without it.

Guest Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Thanks for including the AL-41. Now, just to wait for B9 and RetroFuture updates, and I can go back to making my VTOLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shania_L Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Umm, this is probably an idiot filter, (in which case I have failed) When I click your Download link on the OP it takes me to the GitHub page where I cannot for the life of me see a button to actually download the mod. Halp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theonegalen Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 So I'm messing about with cfg files to fit with the KSAEA tech tree, Stock Part Revamp, and NoMrBonds's F100 engine. I made the SPR engines into Allison J33 (P80/T33 Shooting Star) and GE F110 engines, and I'm wondering if anyone has put together a config for NMB's F100 that makes it match AJE functionality? And if so, what should we make the existing AJE F100 into? Seems a pity to have two of the same kind of engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I'd say, make the current F100 into GE F100, while NMB's F100 into P&W one. They're slightly different. Since the current F100 is the P&W version, you can just copy the data to NMB's one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camacha Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Do I need to do something special to use the shock cone intake as an intake or is there a problem with the part? And, additionally, can anyone point me to good parts packs with relatively efficient engines?I downloaded the updated version of RealFuels and seem to be doing much better when it comes to fuel consumption. With proper procedure and climbing to a suitable flight level I get a moderately decent range out of a little over a mk. 2 tank. Thanks for helping me with the trouble!

theonegalen Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) camlost, so far I mostly copied over the settings for the J47 F-86 engine (from the FS.cfg) and then modified them to make the J33; I can't make heads or tails of the actual AJEtest or all the little numbers it needs, though. Is there any more documentation on how to find or derive all of those? The customization guide in the download was hard (for me) to understand. And here I thought I was a fan of planes.

And here I thought I was a fan of planes.Everybody was fan of planes, but seems jet engines are very specific subjects that few people is familiar with. If you look at the flight sim market you'll find out that most flight models have very crude models. What do you not understand about the Tester? Look at the picture in the folder about the meaning of parameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yeah, I had a total splurge of confusion about this, sorry. I saw your PR, and thought it was for my AJE repo; I therefore thought you did not have your own AJE repo. My brain has been unfogged, etc., etc. Sorry.

theonegalen Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Ok, I'm still working on the configs for the J33 and F110. I figured out what all the numbers mean and have been playing with them to get what I need. Is there a good source for such numbers? I found a couple of sites on google, and have been looking at engine manufacturers websites. I've found compression ratios and bypass ratios (0 for the J33 turbojet), but don't have data on the efficiency of the various parts or the pressure ratios of the individual fan vs the compressor for the F110, or the area of core for either engine. Google hasn't been much help. And I'm getting more thrust in the game than I am in the AJE tester. The J33 is definitely coming along, though.I'm thinking of putting off the F110 because nomrbond said he is going to be working on a separate F110 model in the vein of his F100. Might make it into another non-afterburning turbofan.Thanks very much!P.S. I think I might just remove the default AJE F100 in favor of NoMrBond's model, at least on my install; there are quite a few engines using the default basicJetEngine model already.

Camacha Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Can anyone suggest good parts or part packs for atmospheric engines? Stock has sporty engines and KAX will provide the propeller end of the deal, but some good turbofan engines or nifty looking models are still missing from my tool kit.

camlost Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 @Camacha, you guys need to update from the github more often, it's been fixed. And yes, try B9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacha Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Have you tried B9 Aerospace?I have, I panicked because I got lost between the piles of parts and removed it again. With the OpenGL trick, my new snazzy part sorter and a stock look that has grown towards B9 I might have another go I could always just install the engines.@Camacha, you guys need to update from the github more often, it's been fixed. I think I updated yesterday or maybe the day before, but cheers, thanks for your troubles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
