[1.7.2] KK Launchers - Delta, Atlas Pack

[Kartoffelkuchen]

This should be on CKAN ^^

Yes, I'll work on integrating it.

Version 5.1 released

• Fixed Atlas V CCB inverted-gimbal bug by seperating the fuel tank and the engine
  
• Updated rescaled config to support all parts
  

Thanks to raidernick for helping me how to solve the problem!

Edit: Aaand I fergot to include the CCB engine. Well, I don't want to reupload everything again, so when you want to use rescaled LV's, please use this config.

I'll probably release a smaller update by the end of this week again, so solve some smaller bugs, and use new sounds. Stay tuned!

You know, I really enjoy this mod, but it seems the rockets don't have nearly enough Delta V. I play with KScale2 but an exactly 64% replica of a rocket should be able to at least get into orbit, right?

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Yes, it should. I don't know KScale2, and don't know how different things are, but you can totally get into orbit in stock with each rocket. I will record a video of how I am flying the rockets, ok?

KScale2 doesn't mess with anything too bad, I don't think, but the full Atlas V 401 stack (No boosters, single engine Centaur, smallest payload fairing), with no payload at all only has around 3000 Delta V.

[Kartoffelkuchen]

That's strange. I just launched a Atlas V 401 with a 6.2t payload, and even with that it had more than 3000m/s atmospheric delta v and 3680m/s vacuum Delta V.

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Here are two videos showing how to launch the Atlas V:

Videos for the other rockets will follow.

[Viruzzz]

Thanks Kartoffelkuchen for the videos i need it.

[CommanderSpock]

Wait should I be using the default or alternate gamedata for stock ksp?

[CommanderSpock]

Promo pic?

[NathanKell]

KScale2 will make the dV required for orbit in the, hmm, 4500-5000 range I would think. So rockets designed for KSP requirements won't work there.

[Kartoffelkuchen]

@CommanderSpock: You can decide, if you want to have it the scale of other replica mods (like raidernick's US Probes, etc) you should choose the rescaled config.

The image looks awesome! Though I'll probably don't use it as Promo Pic, since I'm working on the Atllas launch complex anyway. But looks very cool anyway! 8)

@NathanKell: OK, that explains much.

[CommanderSpock]

Ah, okay. It just seemed a bit large.

What is the aerohider.dll for? Does it do anything to physics?

[Kartoffelkuchen]

It didables Aero calculation for the Fairings, because of incorrect Drag Cube position, and I don't really know how to change it. It makes nothing bad, it only disables Aero for the parts which have this module in their config. It will not affect any other parts.

[MugWanaBe]

I am having an issue with the fairings the don't seem to have enough decouple force so the fall into the rocket and explode please help

[Cheesecake]

There are Fairing Separation Engines in the Pack. You must attach them to the fairings an slow down the thrust to 5.5.

[blnk2007]

I keep getting a module manager error for the newest rescale config. In the VAB the nodes are all wrong and scaling is wacky. Anyone else have this issue?

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Are you using the included patch? You have to use the config I linked on page 1.

[blnk2007]

I am using the correct patch.

[Kartoffelkuchen]

I will check this, thanks for pointing it out blnk2007.

Oh guys, and please, donate some money to this poor guy who lost his house in a fire. If I could donate, I would do it, but I sadly can't.

The fairings mod that is requires has no download link.

[Kerbal01]

It's included in the launchers pack, and on post #11 on the fairings pack thread.

[FutureMartian97]

Will you be making Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy? I know Laztech has them but it would be nice to have all these launchers in one pack, plus Laztech still hasn't updated the pack for 1.0.4.

The answer is yes.

Right now I only have models for Falcon 9, I still have a bit to do there, Merlin 1CV is still missing, or unfinished, and the 2nd stage also needs some overall improvement. Then texturing. After that I'll start with Falcon 9 1.1 stuff, Merlin 1D's, new structure, and possible even the landing legs. Though I am not sure about those, balancing the rocket for a possible propulsed landing is really hard, I tried that with my SELV Falcon 9. You have to make a very high engine thrust and very low tank weight in order to make a landing possible. And due to the high thrust-low weight thing, the rockets have a crazy-high TWR. See LazTeks Falcon 9. Falcon 9 1.2 will be made too, once there is proper information and a succesfull flight and the other stuff is done. Falcon Heavy will come with that, it's just a Nosecone and Decouplers.

It will still take quiete a while until I finished that, though be patient, it will definitely come! I will try to work more often on it the next time, once the new version of Launchers Pack is released, which should be soon. I've been working on some small adjustments, and Payload Interfaces for the Atlas V.
