CrisK Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Here's that Flag, fit for game, just right click and save!http://i.imgur.com/mFiaM91.pngI love this flag, Beale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beale Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 So dynamic. Love it.Thanks! didn't the LK have a honeycomb grid style docking port?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docking_and_berthing_of_spacecraft#/media/File:Kontakt_docking_system.pngThough its novelties can't really be expressed in kerbal so it might be a bit redundant to bother makingYep, I'll need to consider what docking mechanism to use.Found a bug - the landing legs. If you start with them deployed, launch, hit G to retract , hit G again to extend, then hit G a third time to retract (and on any further extend/retract cycles) the legs "snap" into place instead of going through the animation.Basically, they only go through the retract animation the first time you retract them.Confirmed:State at launch: DeployedFirst G press - Normal retractionSecond G press - Normal deploymentThird G press - Instant retractionSubsequent G presses repeat "Second" and "Third" above.State at launch: RetractedFirst G press - Normal deploymentSecond G Press - Instant retractionSubsequent G presses repeat this patternMissing Keyframe?- - - Updated - - -Thank you!! I try to make it a bit different.And, weep not for Venera - even tho this is career, I allow myself to revert in the event of something like this happening (it's either that or bounce back and forth with Sandbox and experiment, so what's the difference?)Here is the successful Parking Orbit to Eve flight! (not so KBS styled since there are no TV cameras in space LOL)http://youtu.be/YBU4-4Gb9bgYep, I can confirm the landing gear bug.Thankfully it only seems to be aesthetic problem, but I'll try to fix. It is ugly.@tg626, I now really would like to see the outcome of this mission! While launching my M-1 (finally!) I saw that the ALV-C engine would flame out when attached to a procedural tank, saying it's oxidizer deprived. A fuel line running from the tank to the engine fixed this, and I haven't tested it with a regular tank yet, but I should tell you.EDIT: it does work when attched to the stock tanks, so it must be an issue with the procedural tank.EDIT2: every time I try to launch a Zarya, I have trouble with the upper stage. It must be cursed.EDIT3: screenshots!http://imgur.com/a/siwPXNice launcher! It's a shame you are experiencing problems (Try move the root part closer to the COM?)The engine bug, is odd - but yeah, I think it is a PP problem.It's unfortunate that I'm out of town right now and I can't try out the new LK parts. Looking forward to using them when I get back. In the meantime, I'll be working on some new models I started this week... this pack has inspired me to get back into mod-making. Thanks Beale.Well that's good! I guess? If you enjoy modding, it is good to rekindle the flame I love this flag, Beale!Thanks!New LK part - the cone antennas.Maybe I'll adjust the colour.

AhaFor RT config, currently it's 200km, maybe that can change.How the LOK is to maintain contact with Kerbin - I don't know.I guess Mun relays, but that doesn't feel quite right...

Reddragon Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Use if you plan to land the LK on a slope.I don't think I could ever land anything on a plain. On the Mun I couldn't find a proper landing site so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pTrevTrevs Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Those nesting jets look great for makeshift Soyuz landing thrusters! I have been using Vostok RCS, but these may work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tg626 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 When I was faced with thjus I started the sparta program. Science platform and roving terrain assesment. Launched a lander with rover and science. Made it wide and with a low cg to keep it from tipping. Then used the rover to found a nearby flat spot to land. Later target it with your crewed lander. Land, plant flag, take science from Sparta and go home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using Vostok RCS, but these may work better.Thanks! They may work for the Soyuz, but will require fine tuning.18KN each, fire for less than a second.It requires a bit of fast finger-work, but in the event of tipping, you can set yourself right.You can't tell well from those pictures, but this was near a 35 degree slope!perhaps those antennas should be red and white, to mirror the stock antennae. give it a try!Not bad...

I have been using Vostok RCS, but these may work better.If ever I get a free moment to play KSP, and/or KSP works without crashing (GD Unity!), I will try to bash a config together from the landertron mod for these little guys; I know they're not released, but I imagine they will be by the time I get a moment!

AppleDavidJeans Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Perhaps you should do Lunokhod. It'd be interesting to see you step into the realm of rovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyrocon Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 can anyone explain why the engines for the Soyuz, Polaris, Gemini, and Cygnus craft all shrink when i switch back to craft that use them from map mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tg626 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 That's the "root part resize bug" as I call it. Its a ksp bug. The only fix is to not have that part as the root part of the craft.Unless you edit the config to switch back to the older model=filename.mu which I do if I can.

T'Flok Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 That LK is looking good! After the next version of the mod gets released.. well, I'm wondering about the Spectre's IVA 'cause I really love the look and feel of that command module, in fact I like it's shape and design more than Gemini's as Spectre isn't just a cone and just like with Gemini, I like that frontal facing window. No rush, just wondering what plans you have regarding Spectre's IVA (with RPM support of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 http://vsm.host.ru/photos/lkeng.jpgI love rocket engine clusters :3The LK engine actually had a single landing engine in the center. the other 2 are backup engines.
