[v0.90/v.25]Transparent Pods v1.2.2 for KSP v0.90

Get this error when using the Trianka engine,

Isp at 0 is zero. Flow rate will be NaN

A weird visual though on the nose gear: it appears to be tweaked (turned) slightly off of center. I can't tell if it's just a visual thing, but I loaded up your Sanka craft, and it does pull off to one side for me almost immediately.

Yeah I noticed that too. though when I checked the files in Unity the rotations zeroed out. I'll check them again might be something else I missed.

Ah yea, I'll fix them. Incorrect setting on all the engines. Need to do a pass to fix the curves with KSPCurveEditor.

nli2work, where did you get the cockpit/canopy?

[nli2work]

that cockpit will be in RF 1.5. complete with IVA!

Yeah, don't set Isp to 0, running out of air will take care of that for you.

Karbonite git has what I think is a decent propfan speed curve, though you probably want to tighten it even more for turboprops - ain't nobody yet figured out how to make a propeller get past mach 0.67 (230m/s SL) apart from the propfan people. Well, not get past that and produce useful thrust, anyhow.

[NathanKell]

I think a Mach .67 limit would be news to Rare Bear (528mph)

Unless it's doing it on exhaust thrust? Didn't think the R-3350 was set up for that.

Polar exploration at it's finest.

[nli2work]

I just went through all the RF engines today and did a lot of readjusting. Piston propellers are down to ~500 mph top speed. turboprops top out around mach 0.8. ISP curves are now pretty much constant; low 2k for propellers; ~1800 for propfans. I'm entitled to a little fantasy, Rare Bear ain't so rare in RetroFuture world.

setting up a few odometer displays using RPM, should go real nice for the IVAs.

WTF? how can I fix it?

don't know. looks like something is messing with Icon_Hidden layer in KSP. does it happen with all engines or just that one?

Sorry, I should have added the 'with any decent efficiency' to the end there

You can get above by simply brute-forcing, but the thrust curve still drops like a stone :3

All engines of mod.

[nli2work]

All engines of mod.

try deleting the modulemanager.dll that is bundled with KerbPaint; also check for duplicate ModuleManager.dlls in Gamedata. there should be only one copy, the newest one is 2.3.5

unsuccessfully... Thank's

[nli2work]

do you have Firespitter installed? newest version is 6.3.5 from here; all the engines require that plugin

if that doesn't fix it I'll have to see the output_log.txt from KSP_Data. follow the steps here to generate a log file

rebuilt assembly. Everything as it should. Thank you.

Decided to play with Transparent Command Pod v1.1, but having a RPM error warning in VAB & error in log.

Error log's here. Screenshot here.

I've tried to use the bundled RPM & a separate RPM install(v 0.18.2). Same result.

yeah that's normal. the interior props are trying to update with variables that are not yet created, so RPM gives the warning message. everything works after you launch.

[Horus]

It's actually not only that it gives just a warning. It sends a pack of error messages to the debug log. Is it ok?

Never came across with such a RPM bug before.

yeah, the internal props throw NRE in the debug log while in VAH/SPH, because the TransparentPod module is set to update the interior props. In VAB/SPH, it's trying to update the internal props with variables that only exist in Flight stage; so internal props all throw NREs. Mihara had fixed this issue for some of the JSI internal prop modules, but not all of them, before getting too busy with RL.

Once you launch, everything should function normally.

[Horus]

IC. Thanks for the explanation. Errors in debug log make me just a paranoiac

[nli2work]

no prob. Do let me know if there're any errors that occur continuously while in Editor or in Flight. The TransparentPod module is still very experimental, any bug reports will help improve it for future versions if Mihara gets back to RPM.
