Component Space Shuttle - dev thread [IMG heavy!]

[burn.prograde]

I dont know if it is just me or not but when i am using the oms engines my shuttle pitches up a fair amount. I am using the right and left oms engines in their proper places and have even tried using the straight oms engine with gimbal tweaking to try to achieve balance. Anyone else have this problem/know a fix?

[montyben101]

Hmm, I don't think there is a fix but it should be easy to keep under control with the RCS.

that is intense.

A few pages back somebody posted some config for OMS. Try it.

Those changes worked however the stock trim did not. For those interested here is the sweet spot settings.

OMS Right

X-Trim 14

Y-Trim -5

OMS Left

X-Trim -14

Y-Trim -5

After a lot of testing this seems to be the sweet spot. Depending on payload sometimes an additional reaction control in-front of the engine mount (rear of cargo bay) definitely helps with control of the vehicle on OMS burn. As there is a reaction wheel in the engine mount for some reason i cant control the settings properly on it or maybe im just doing it wrong. For those reading this remember it does require KM_gimble for this to work properly. For those using mechjeb this plugin (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/60933-Optional-MechJeb-Modules-for-FAR-NEAR-km_Gimbal-%28Oct-19%29) is extremely helpful with accent control. Using this plugin with the "force roll" setting accent really helps. Also for re-entry i recommend dumping any remaining fuel under 400 for a smooth landing.

I hope all this helps.

Btw first testing in Unity and KSP :

But I will create within next few hours a long thread in Modeling and Texturing thread with my questions for Unity.

Hello, the craft files are not working for me in .25. I downloaded all I needed and I can use the parts, but not the craft files. When I click on them, they load up the space shuttle body and that's it.

[montyben101]

Yeah their broken, just build it yourself its not that hard

If you really want I could upload my shuttle craft file, but it might not work since I changed quite a lot of the config files and the cockpit texture

[bubbyman1]

Thanks, it's okay. I wanted to use the craft files just to make sure everything is in the right place. If you want, you can put it up just so I can remember how to build it. Thanks!

Cool, does the robot arm actually work? It just gives me null errors and the guy who runs the lazor mod never got back to me about it.

From what I understand infernal robotics is making a robotic arm

[Guest]

Yes, as soon as this functionality is out, I'm switching both this and Buran to it.

[montyben101]

Not to rush you but is there any more news on the model? Also are you aware that there are "holes" in the IVA XD

And for IVA I think we need to contact the creator to correct those holes.

Some guy called "Dolin" made it... He hasen't even been on the forums since May...

Also if you want I could make the proper fuels for the OMS engine with a MM file?

[Guest]

The RSS config will have proper OMS fuels.

[olivertk]

Can someone link the download link? please

Could someone help me, the gimballing of my engines won't work. It also does'nt give me the option to lock gimballing or unlock it, i've only had the CSS required mods installed and the version I'm using is .25. I hope someone has got a fix or knows what's wrong.

[Guest]

Make sure you installed Dtobi's Space Shuttle Engines pack correctly. This does work in 0.25, although there was no official update.

Are you talking about the main engines or the OMS engines? If it's the OMS engines, make sure you use the straight OMS engines instead of the right and left specific ones. Those two have had their gimbals disabled in the config.
