tygoo7 Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Like, with the new aero/thermal dynamics?I don't think it does with the thermal dynamics, but it should work with aero dynamics since it has an aerodynamic shape. I'll be able to update it next weekend hopefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tygoo7 Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 So I found some free time tonight, and I'll have some more tomorrow since it's the weekend. I felt like the Rodan needed a revamp, since we have new stuff about the V2, like that awesome abort test. I was also thinking of including an umbilical, opinions? If I don't get this done by next weekend I'll still put out an update to make this work in 1.0.2. Javascript is disabled. View full album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjahgoblin Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 This looks awesome. I have been seeking a larger crew capsule for designing larger ships, I assume this seats 7? Based on the Dragon v2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tygoo7 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Uploaded 0.2.3 to kerbalstuff. Hopefully it works for 1.0, I do not have time to test it but I added the ablator resource to it so thermodynamics should work. Also progress on the revamp!This looks awesome. I have been seeking a larger crew capsule for designing larger ships, I assume this seats 7? Based on the Dragon v2.It seats 4 kerbals currently.

Mecripp Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 That pod looks alittle bigger then the first one you made looks real good and as always can't wait to get my little kerbal hands on it EDIT- O I see now too you going for a real copy of it with the nose cone.

DeepSlayLP Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Actually, I tried it and it worked properly for me. So I guess it's working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sashan Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Why, why rectangular windows again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tygoo7 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Why, why rectangular windows again? What's wrong with them? They were round in the previous one. Do you want oval windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashan Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Please smooth the corners like I've shown you previously. Modern aerospace vehicles applications always have smoothed corners of windows due to fatigue and stress concentration concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JedTech Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 In the current release I have a problem where I can't attach anything to the bottom of the dragon. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILikeIke Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thanks for an awesome new spacecraft! Rodan is probably going to be my new Kerbin to LKO ferry. I'm excited to see where you go with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tygoo7 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Please smooth the corners like I've shown you previously.

Remember that is not the final product. In the current release I have a problem where I can't attach anything to the bottom of the dragon. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?Hmm, was this something changed in 1.0 or something? It seems MeCripp might havve fixed it.Thanks for an awesome new spacecraft!

ILikeIke Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I was flying a resupply mission yesterday with Rodan, and I noticed something odd. MechJeb would not dock Rodan to anything else because it couldn't control Rodan from a docking port. Has anybody else had this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechJeb would not dock Rodan to anything else because it couldn't control Rodan from a docking port. Has anybody else had this issue?Is it because of something wrong in the config used by the Rodan docking port? Or maybe it has to do with the nose cone opening.

The revamp will have a separate docking port as default though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neutrinovore Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Pretty good so far...http://snag.gy/BhakU.jpgMmm, yes, that is looking nice. Hopefully on this new version the engine pods will be visually symmetrical, AND that the thrust vectors will be aligned with the CoM so as to not produce any torque? The current version has both of these issues. The thrust torque imbalance isn't anything that the reaction wheels can't handle, but it's just annoying that I can't null it out using RCSBuildAid. Anyway, my 2 cents. Looking forward to the updated 'Rodan', Tygoo!Later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely sure what it is but I also want to make sure that it doesn't happen with the revamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
