Kitspace Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hello!Does anybody know how to make an engine intake or a nacelle that is smoothly welded into the wing structure like we can clearly see on many screenshots here?Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bac9 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Wait, the latest release of B9 messes with stock parts now?Yes, insanely overpowered stock jets are rebalanced to be in line with realistic values of other parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurgle528 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 For me the Strugatsky default plane does not take off or get faster than 101m/s with NEAR installed. Everything else works fine for me but that might be worth looking into.Hello!Does anybody know how to make an engine intake or a nacelle that is smoothly welded into the wing structure like we can clearly see on many screenshots here?Thank you!You can try rotating using shift + W/A/S/D/Q/E or maybe turn off angle snapping, depending on what you mean. Sometimes it's just a matter of finding the right fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike9606 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Yes, insanely overpowered stock jets are rebalanced to be in line with realistic values of other parts.Honestly, I don't like that. If I wanted the stock jets nerfed, I would have gone to a different mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sochin Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 There was an add on expansion with IVA's does anyone have a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonrd463 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Fantastic! I know it had been added in 5.1, but a big THANK YOU for adding tank support to the S2W intake. It just seemed a shame to have such a physically large part not have room for fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K3-Chris Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Honestly, I don't like that. If I wanted the stock jets nerfed, I would have gone to a different mod.We've gotten tired of seeing all B9 part planes with stock engines "because they're better" when they're actually just incredibly overpowered, stock turbojets are just silly.

Donziboy2 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Sigh, spent the last 5 hours with V5 building this SSTO. Installed V5r2 and it gained 500+T and half the parts are no longer right clickable..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike9606 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I checked and it seems the config that changes the stock jets is its own MM config. Good to know I can choose whether or not B9 messes with stock engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know I can choose whether or not B9 messes with stock engines.Yeah you can obviously remove the fix, and use the incredibly OP stock jets, we don't judge you, promise.Thats a shame no HL crew tank.It's problematic to make one, main problem is that kerbal are completely unoptimized, the more you add to an IVA the lower your FPS drops, yes FPS isn't that important in IVA but it's still not ideal, I tried 24 kerbals on 2 floors in the 6m S2 crew tank, really doesn't work, dropped it to 12 with fuel on the bottom floor and no ladders and access holes.I think if I make a HL CT I'd need to make it 2m long and again use the bottom half for fuel, and have 2 floors on top for crew, with a total of 4 windows, 2 either side, one per floor, can fit 10-12 kerbals across those 2 floors nicely.

Donziboy2 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Yes its very hard to break it when you copy and paste over top of it.... And deleting each folder and copying did not help either...Any stuctural parts that had been set to hold fuel are not right clickable on my craft. Any parts that where just structural now are full of fuel, but it pretty much breaks all my craft. MFT seems to work... But there goes hours of work. And its not the only craft.

Warshawski Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 So, the Virgin Generic thing... is it actually necessary? It's stopping my game from loading, and if it's not actually necessary for the function of the mod I'm going to throw it overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_v Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Now I know I promised not to complain about the gear any more, 5.0 was sweet. But... skipped 5.1, just loaded 5.2: My previously working craft are *sliding sideways on the runway*. Landing is now an extremely dodgy proposition. Either braking traction is somehow un-even or the runway just got super slippery. Dropped the .cfg from R5.0 back in and all is well.Repro: Launch, apply brakes, watch nosewheel slide sideways Am I doing something wrong, or is the latest round of gear changes heading in the tokyo drift direction?

Taverius Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 For me the Strugatsky default plane does not take off or get faster than 101m/s with NEAR installed. Everything else works fine for me but that might be worth looking into.NEAR:Its a little underpowered right now, though. I'm going to add a 4th set of the engines to the craft and probably boost the engines a little bit at some point. The craft needs a bit of a redesign, to be totally honest.So, the Virgin Generic thing... is it actually necessary? It's stopping my game from loading, and if it's not actually necessary for the function of the mod I'm going to throw it overboard.So long as you don't want to use the HX parts, no. We always add pointless plugins, you know, for fun If its stopping your game from loading, something else is almost certainly the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cy-one Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Built an 8 engine 4 generator delta shaped HX size space plane and it handles fine can get into orbit then return. It's having some problems when it gets lower in the atmosphere in FAR. Trying some spoilers and breaks tonight. HUGE mach 6.9 ships are possible. It's got 3 big cubes of LFO plus two big triangles on the sides. The part count is low ish without landing gear and doesn't bring the cpu to it's knees. I'll post pics when I get home Saturday.Screenshots (and maybe .craft?) please :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to lay on a fresh install and see where that gets me. Hopefully that solves the issue, so I can get back to exploring my newly expanded universe.

mike9606 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 http://imgur.com/a/WWB18#0What I mean is the style of engine intake mount like on the plane in this album.You can clearly see it on the outside pictures.I have no idea how to do this as I just do not see any parts of this shape as well as any parts that will go inside the wing not just stick on top.Also as far as I can remember that some of the interiors had head up guidance systems but they do not have them now while sometimes you can see the place in the cockpit where it would fit just right. Is it supposed to be this way?The intakes are not just 1 part, that is a 3 part combination I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
