wm1248 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I experienced massive launch complications previously, but was able to resolve by uninstalling and manually reinstalling. Out of the blue, I have had a reappearance of launch complications to which updating both mods has escalated said issues. I was informed previously that FAR was required for this mod. Is there a way to use this mod WITHOUT FAR? I'm experiencing way too many issues between the two. As long as I launch at a 0 degree inclination, all is fine. Deviate from that by 0.1 degree and all is lost. Using 1.0.5 as 1.1.2 rendered most rockets unflyable, both with and without FAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I've never used FAR (or RSS or RO or PDQ), but I use raidernick's launchers all the time. I guess all those - and by "all those" I mean I've lost count - 51.5° inclination launches were flukes? It works fine as is, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheats? Not really as the Russians automated everything to remove human error as much as possible. I land manually and occasionally dock manually.

Chicken_Soup Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 This may seem like a stupid question; How do you extend the Antennas? I'm new to this mod and I want to get the full vibes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellblazer Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Good job raidernick. I started a series on building the ISS. Used your Proton rocket to get the Zarya module into orbit (RSS). It worked perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertoKermov Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I tried the proton rocket here and I had the problem where when I start to turn at 9km ASL it does a whole 360 instead of the intended 45 degrees. Is there a special way I'm supposed to launch this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeve Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Can someone help me, the nosecone on the sputnik will not attach to the body of the rocket or sputnik because the space is already taken up by the sputnik. I am wondering if there is any mod or trick to get around this. I hope you understand what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one in their right mind starts pitching over that late, especially not a 45 degree turn. A rocket with an initial TWR of 1.25-1.35 can start turning as early as 30-40m/s. Those are just ball-park numbers, but they should give you an idea of how to fly these rockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h0yer Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hi! Would it be much work to add tiny markers to all vernier engines, so one can see in the VAB which way they sway^^ A little cross marking the axis would suffice, so one would just need to take care for all crosses pointing radially outwards. Interestingly, RCS build aid's vernier display cannot realy handle 1d gimbals that only sway around one axis. It makes them sway all ways, X and Y. Doesn't apply to the R-7 RD-10x verniers, because the tubing around the exhaust-bells can be used to see which way they need to be mounted. (Those aren't actual rocket engines, only the exhausts of the HTP driven turbopumps, open cycle stuff? Correct me if I'm wrong, still learning all that fascinating engineering stuff) I don't save them (R-7 and UR-500) as prefabs, I see it as some weird but funny ritual to always build them from scratch Thank you dude for all that awesome stuff, your R-7 and UR-500 helped me understand why they are such awesome rockets IRL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone made a PR on the github for craft files so I included those. If you want to fix them and make a PR for it I'll include them in the next release otherwise I'm just going to delete them again.
