Scir16v Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 If I could make a suggestion about the physics modeling. As the rocket get built, could the physics be combined for the craft as a while instead of individually. Understandably this would require a rewriting of some of the physics coding. But as we all know, when the part counts get higher, it takes much longer to process, and drops the frame rates horribly. So instead of modeling 200 parts, the craft would be modeled as 1 part, and as the stages are released, the weight, density, and aerodynamics would change. Docking ports would be an exception though. Since a docking port connected to a docking port isn't a structural connection, it would act as quote breaking point in the part count.just as a suggestion though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist290 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Welcome to the forums! The idea of combining parts so that they're handled as one part by the physics engine is one that has come up several times in the past -- so many, in fact, that we had to put it on our What Not To Suggest list so that the Suggestions forum wouldn't get absolutely swamped with them. In light of that, I'm going to be closing this thread. Please rest assured that this isn't a strike against the quality of the suggestion itself; it's just a topic that's already been discussed very extensively in the past.
