lo-fi Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Asteroids?? I hadn't even thought of that. Have you been playing Space Pong with asteroids???Nobody seems to have mounted them all around a sphere and made a floating football yet either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been playing Space Pong with asteroids???Nobody seems to have mounted them all around a sphere and made a floating football yet either Now that is something I'd love to see in the same scene as that giant walking robot. Lets see if we can kick a football into orbit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren9 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I did have grand plans for a game of robot football, unfortunately it seems I can never catch up to the ball again after the first nudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lo-fi Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Even if they aren't quite up to a kick about, the robots are absolute genius So, while we're talking heavyweight messing about, what's the speed record for repulsorcraft?Screen grabs or it didn't happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivvik Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I got one up to around 250+m/s, but the the vile terrain got ahold of it and ripped it apart.I was wondering if there was an expanse of very flat terrain I could use to speedtest these things?

Madrias Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Do I detect a challenge, Lo-Fi? Do you really want me to try breaking speed records?I'll post once I get something really fast going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDLENL Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 lo-fiplease make boat parts.like the hover pads but either they float above or on the water with low friction.k,-jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren9 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I can move that speed record forward a bit with the old Star Trek Nacelles, they wouldn't accept my entry in the Kerbal-Hot-Rod-Association-Drag-Racing thread but it made 1242m/s on the runway.

Madrias Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Well, Darren9, I won't be able to beat that, but I'm bringing my home-made Devastation Incorporated (my in-game military research division of Madness Industries) Forcefyre Prototype to the table. I've config edited in order to consume less fuel, but the engine has always, and will always produce 1680 thrust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecat Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I was wondering if there was an expanse of very flat terrain I could use to speedtest these things?It's called Minmus Unfortunately 160m/s is orbital velocity there so you tend to take off. What we need is a way to invert the polarity of the phase arrays to turn the repulsors into attractors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madrias Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) North Pole of Kerbin's pretty flat, if you're willing to get there.And I'm back with my participation in the challenge. Surely I have one of the fastest closed-seat repulsorcraft? Or perhaps the only one where Jeb dared Bob to drive it? After all, doesn't Bob look like he's having so much fun?Javascript is disabled.

S1000RRHP4 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 A speed contest?..... i'll be back XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lo-fi Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Awesome!!!I'll have a better look once I've had a coffee and my head stops pounding. I might make Friday a regular 'get drunk and issue silly challenge' day, though XDI reckon the speed challenge ought to be an ongoing thing, maybe in a set location.

S1000RRHP4 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) The fastest for me is 447.2 m/s... but it so close to the ground, i've almost touch it i will try with solid booster maybe i can get a better result....here are the picture of the slug-speeder:POWAA Edited August 16, 2014 by S1000RRHP4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lo-fi Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 That's one mean looking vessel! Don't recognise the parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lo-fi Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Oh, and dev guys: I have something new for you Warning: This may screw up all kinds of things as the plugin now adds stuff globally to KSP, not just my parts. It looks great so far, but just to warn you. This is very, very experimental.I've not tested in orbit, at high speed, changing celestial bodies, multiple vehicles or anything like that.Thanks for xEvilReaperx for the code concept.

S1000RRHP4 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Mostly B9 and a few SP+ with kerbpaint support, and some stock tweakscale part....and of course..... THE Surface Repulsor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lo-fi Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Indeed XDLots of stuff to work out, its very early stage. But the concept is sound, the devil is now in the detail.Actually, hold off updating from the latest dev commit. I'll bundle the water code into a separate plugin so its easy to remove for comparison testing should we need to hunt down some bugs.

AntiMatter001 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 ok instead of me bitching about how i like this mod but hate the suspension i'll instead ask a simple question.How do i adjust the values in the SPH/VAB so that when i launch it it doesn't tilt back or forward? (i've already messed with my CoM with no success)(sorry i said one but i thought of another): how, if above is imposible" do i disable the suspension? (i'm guessing it's hard coded) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lo-fi Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) I really can't see what your issue is with the suspension. Setting the spring to zero effectively disables any springiness, though the wheels will still follow the terrain to limit of their travel. If you're flipping over this is likely to make matters worse, not better, however. Orbitus (IIRC) has made a plugin to tweak the torque values which will work for my wheels, maybe that will help too?Otherwise, post a video maybe? I use MSI afterburner, which is a free tweaking tool that includes vid capture. Edited August 16, 2014 by lo-fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephm Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 hi !to finish my journey, i'll mad a little trip in the mountain with the big wheel , it's very cool !!Not a big vehicle constructor but sometime that cool to make "promenade" on the grass !!!thank for this mod great wheel !!!keep up the good work !!steph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
