Not included. Maybe I'll add it, maybe not. I will do a break now, enjoying actual playing KSP again. And doing other stuff.

[sciencepanda]

For those who are interested, here's a link to the Strongbacks I made: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v1aqe9p0jd00nmp/AADYD8QEEgH-6-x8hBLsidHEa?dl=0

There are 2 strongbacks included. LC-39A (Strongback for the Falcon Heavy) and LC-40 (Falcon 9). They both attach via an attachment node at the bottom. Haven't tested them with Kart's Falcons, but they should work just fine if you add an attachment node at the bottom.

@sciencepanda Thank you so much!

Already working on tests. I'll figure out what tweeks are needed as far as attachment nodes. Kart, if I add an attachment node to your F9 for use with my Strongback, would it be okay with you if I post the edited .cfg here?

[Tristonwilson12]

i will also release mine and arcaturus's soon prob no until 1.1, but SciencePanda, yours looks great!!

The strongback seems to be working fine as of right now. The base appears to be a little cramped with the F9's first stage clipping through the clamps holding it down. The retracting arm also clips through some of the F9 first stage tanks.

Also, I think the strongback might have to be a little taller (I've only tested the first stage with this however)

 

[sciencepanda]

Yeah, mine is the wrong size for some reason... My strongback is 0.65 scale, kart's falcon is 1.0 scale.. but when I rescale to fix that, my strongback is too tall.

Should be an easy fix... rescale in Blender, re-do animations.... ugh... maybe not so easy...

Actually.... Strongback for FH seems to fit perfectly.

SpaceX launch pack version 2 released!

Added:

• Falcon 9 1.1
• Falcon 9 1.1 Full Thrust
• Falcon Heavy (Based on Falcon 9 1.1 FT)
• Landing Legs, Gridfins and RCS for the first stage

Extra Content:

• ASDS
• Payload Fairing texture pack

Happy launchings!

Oh, and landings!

 

Edit: Whops. Please make sure to download this plugin here, it is required for the fairings. Otherwise you will run into danger of maybe flipping the rocket http://www./download/e5p779ng23c7qt1/AeroHider.dll

Hi Kart , I got a problem here .

When I trying to land the frist stage of F91.1 , its center M1D+ engine will “aerodymanic failure” when I have FAR installed, is this normal or should I reset FAR’s settings？

[Delta_8930]

Aah. Elon finally confirmed that the static fired occured. *breathes a sigh of relief*

[Kartoffelkuchen]

@mark7 FAR is not supported. At last I didn't test it with FAR.

@sciencepanda just make a small MM-patch. I will link your strongback in the OP once you got it fitting nicely.

And please, stay on topic now.

All the SpaceX rockets keep flipping over at some point. I need to add Verniers to keep the first stage stable, but the second stage always just tumbles out of control upon separation. None of my other rockets have this problem (same payloads). I also notice the fairings don't protect my RemoteTech antennas, as if there is nothing there, might also explain the tumbling rockets.

Any suggestions?

You need to download this plugin I unfortunately forgot to include it, it *fixes* the aerodynamic behaviour of the fairings, and you also need the Old School Fairings plugin, as it says in the OP.

[Delta_8930]

Old school fairings solved all of my problems.

[Jimbodiah]

Thanks guys!!!!

Those rockets look awesome by the way!

Great that everything seems to work now!

Thank you, it was quite a bit of effort (I started on this 1 month and 5 days ago ).

Delta IV next (with next I mean that I will start working on it now, though I guess it will take quite a bit of time to finish. But this time it will be released, not like the last time I worked on it). Will be working on Atlas V at the same time too.

But first, I will take a little break from modelling stuff, and pick it up again in the new year. Creating the Falcon's was pretty intense.

Looking forward to it, Potato!

[Delta_8930]

@sciencepanda @Kartoffelkuchen where should I put the attachment node (on the M1D or engine housing structure) to allow the Falcon to attach to the strongback?

[Jimbodiah]

Euhm, the link to the DLL does not work. Is there anywhere else I can download?

I'd say the middle M1D

[ReventonHawx]

I was gonna suggest you get the fairings working in 1.0.5 on the other models but definitely take a break! You definitely deserve it after putting all that work into the SpaceX pack. Loving the pack so far!

 Added them to the Octoweb. I think the coordinate I used was 0, -3, 0

[Tristonwilson12]

Ok ill test it

[Tristonwilson12]

Also Kart, i have a bunch of Falcon 1 Fairing textures, can i send em to you?
