JazeEyed Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) [sOON TO BE LUNATIC AEROSPACE]With the help of ximrm we now have the model, I'm soon to be working on the .cfg! Refuel Probe: A aero dynamically slick refuel probe that could be placed and when toggled extends out and acts as a docking port; very small, and a bucket type system that could be added on to a KAS pipe, like so; UPDATE! We have animated parts! http://i.imgur.com/t1KFoXf.gifPlease leave all credit to ximrm, he has done all the modelling, animations, and is working on the texturing and unity import; this mod was my idea, however he made my dreams come alive!

DisarmingBaton5 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldForest Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 This is really great! But I would suggest you make it like the claw part in ksp where it hooks into anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tygoo7 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Looks good, but how exactly are there going to be two planes flying at the same time able to dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ximrm Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 There are several options: Multiplayer, Mechjeb, kOS, persistent trails etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazeEyed Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Looks good!Thanks! There has been some great work from ximrm! Kudos to him!This is really great! But I would suggest you make it like the claw part in ksp where it hooks into anywhere.Well I'd rather it was a docking type part, it seems easer and would be a little more real, instead of just 'hitting' the part and connecting it has to be carefully docked, this could also be used with the various docking mods!Looks good, but how exactly are there going to be two planes flying at the same time able to dock?There are several options: Multiplayer, Mechjeb, kOS, persistent trails etc.Yep! Also BahumatoD's Burn Together mod! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazeEyed Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 There are several options: Multiplayer, Mechjeb, kOS, persistent trails etc.That reminds me, would you like to test this mod (once in a usable state) on multiplayer with myself?

ximrm Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Sadly unity does not allow point animations, so I rigged the whole thing.Newer version, still not final, animation will be tweaked,textures , collider coming.In my defense... I'm not an animator, i do mainly modelling and sculpting.BTW: haven't tried Multiplayer yet, but sure. Edited September 2, 2014 by ximrm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ximrm Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Not only for planes, also tiny satellites.This is also useful for ships/planes that don't/can't have a normal docking port and can use the (coming)antenna-like part to refuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldForest Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Well I'd rather it was a docking type part, it seems easer and would be a little more real, instead of just 'hitting' the part and connecting it has to be carefully docked, this could also be used with the various docking mods!Well, docking in air would be tough. A claw mode would be better, you could also have the part swivel on multiple axises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hah, probe-drogue, not that cheaty Air Force stuff Doing this in atmo is going to be very tough (you'll need one heck of a stable tanker) but you could maybe get ferram to enable pitch/yaw dampening and wing leveler for uncontrolled craft.

JazeEyed Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 That's right, I've always liked a realistic feel to my aircraft, so I though this would be a great way to end all the air to air refuelling fails!However the only point hindering us now is the Unity Import, Unity doesn't work with my current setup and my partner has done enough work so we are stuck for now, however if anyone can help please private message me!
