Little news: my PC is back working, so I'm preparing for the new update, a huge number of parts for Ignis Launcher Pack (old Proton will be deprecated as there is a more awesome from Beale in his Tantares pack) and gears for the Aeria shuttle.

The K7 parts are almost ready for texturing, and then I'll proceed to making Ariane-5-like and R-56-like (monoblock one) rockets.

Great news man! I love this little mod you are putting together!

Have you thought about making custom landing gear that hides inside the shuttle?

Yeah, they will be radially attached. The only problem is design, as I want them good-loocking, but they seem to become kinda sad and primitive when modelling. And those will be skids, I suppose, as it will be more FUN to land! :D

I guess, this will be the last update in this thread. I have to quit the development of the mod as after getting a job in a newly formed Design Bureau I won't have time to give time to all my projects. All the models will be released in public domain and if someone is interested in continuing this project, I'll be glad to give him all the rights on it.

Damn... Oh well... Hope you have a great job and enjoy it... I have certainly enjoyed this little craft and will use it until it won't work any longer.

Best wishes and Cheers....

Perhaps Sommone could pick this up again?
Congrats on the job! Sad to hear you're not carrying on with the mod, but RL comes first.

Thanks for the feedback. It's making me sad too, I hope one day continue to improve the mod, but at the moment I have no possibilities. Yes, it would be nice is someone took over the project.

Hi all, I really liked the look of this little shuttle and downloaded it to see if it was as useful as it looked, and because I enjoy resurrecting old lost mods and projects like this where the original developer has had to abandon it.

So I loaded it up and noticed that the collision wasn't awesome, so re exported it back to dae and redid the cut, separating the wings properly, and while i was at it I opened up the cockpit for JSI and added a small cargo bay, that done it went back through unity.

I then discovered that the scales where slightly off and the transparent cockpit appeared floating above the craft, so back to max to make a new internal with the window for the glass . Then back through unity again.

Thanks to the new SP+ parts just added by squad we have a new lifting body module , so now instead of relying on a supersized control surface , the whole underside of the craft provides a lifting force, the side effect of this is that it no longer needs that huge flap and the little flaps in the wings work really well. So i disabled the cfg for the ctrlsrf added some extra stuff like the animated bay doors, some built in RCS etc.

I tried not to change the appearance of the vehicle as a whole as it almost looks right as it is, IT's a bit tubby for my taste but I can live with that.

I'm just running some tests with it and a load of parts from the deep space mission pack mod that i also am reviving once done I be happy if Niemand is agreeable to make it available to anyone who misses the tubby little thing. And some images from testing

Wow, thanks, that would be awesome if you continued the mod. I like the cockpit thingy on top of the fuselage, it's definitely a go. This evening I will PM a Dropbox link with all the Blender models, if you need some. I may also add some R-7 models I wanted to add, but they need some polish and textures.

Good evening all , here's a couple of new pics . showing a glimpse of the completely new IVA , the cargo bay in action and the new faired in engine with heat anim ofc, It still has an eject able fairing which is also shaped to fit smoothly with the new engine shape.

The only stumbling block at present is the vessels unfriendly behavior under power, having a horrible tendency to flip end over end without much provocation.

I've built literally dozens of one part craft and it's been a long time since I've had one so badly behaved ( even the flying wing!!). I'm still experimenting with the new lifting body module featured in the SP+ addition and I feel a lot of it can be traced there. once I've got used to it it'll be cool

That's not to say it's unusable, as you see from images it'll get to space, it's done quite a few launches to orbit from both the Pad and the Runway, it's just a handful , and as i can after all this time playing KSP, pretty much fly rocks into orbit I can deal with it

I know that runway take off's not really as advertised but I'm sure a ship that could perhaps return from the surface to it's mother ship may be a little more useful

I think the crew like it at least :)

And finally the to Niemand for linking me the files, and letting me mess with his creation
