Component Space Shuttle V 5.0.1 (July 14, 2013)

[Guest]

Read the readme (you did include, it, Cepheus, right?). The Shuttle requires the Toggleable ASAS plugin. This is located in the forward RCS block, which won't appear if you don't have the plugin.

EDIT: Ninja'ed by BobCat. Yes, it might be a better idea to bundle it with the upload (or at least link to it in the release post).

anyone have this TASAS plugin? or a link?

[Cepheus]

Cepheus

Your RCS part use TASAS plugin.

In your archive no have this plugin.

Reupload CSS and include TASAS plugin.

Whoops. Reuploaded, and external tank fixed.

[BobCat]

Hmm.. tell me... that aerodinamic normal? Or im make somthing wrong?

[Guest]

Flies like a charm, doesn't it? Yes, I'm aware it's a bit too perfect - the real thing flew like a brick. But due to landing gear issues, I was forced to make the flight model extremely well tuned in order to allow extremely gentle touchdowns, which in turn allow it to survive the landings. Right now, that's where the real challenge is. You're not doing anything wrong, you could try dumping fuel, but in general, it's supposed to do this crazy stuff. I had to make those tradeoffs.

Fly like WW1 plane now... too much lift to wings... I can fly near ground (30-40m) in 46m/s speed , and nose up to 2km again... and no any engines....

And i think Main fuel tank too small

yo got a point there not proply scaled

[The Destroyer]

Huh, that is right.

Also, HOORAY! Time to fly some space shuttles!

[princess venus]

i also notised it thinner than it should

[CluelessModeler]

Don't think I've seen a fix for this... But when I try to use the .craft file, it says that I'm missing the Shuttle Manipulator... Checked, I have the Canadaarm part. I redownloaded, and the problem persists. Any ideas?

[BobCat]

Im sure in game screens have perspective errors, but

I thing fuel tank CSS little small.... or not?

[HockeyToad28]

I love the pack and the shuttle! I have one question though, when I try to load the pre-made craft it won't allow me because I am missing the Shuttle Manipulator. Although I can't seem to find one in the parts folder?

[Boamere]

When i got the mod and i tried to load in the pre-built ship, it said i didn't have the "shuttle manipulator" and also when i try to land it, it just flips around (doing backflips and having no control over it)

You need to have lazor system. I didn't include that, as it isn't my mod, and it wouldn't be right to do so.

Empty the internal tanks first, or at least burn a lot of fuel from them. Also, engage precision controls.

Is the shuttle manipulator essentially the buran manipulator re skinned?

Thanks for pointing it out, though the error is less than you think. The Shuttle in your picture uses orthographic projection, while KSP uses perspective. That makes for a big error, especially at the bottom. That said, it is too small, my bad. CSS 6.0 will be scaled much more precisely, and there will probably be a hotfix for this one. It's a simple fix, just need to sit down and figure the scaling out.

[jokamo]

after using this and seeing the problems with it firsthand, all i can say is wow. it looks fantastic! (very sexy orange fuel tank ) and the shuttle itself looks fantastic! if this were to work on par with bobcats shuttle, then it could be my favourite mod of all time!

6.0 should be much better, once we have everything we need. Looks like we're getting the source models afterall, so it'll be a dramatic improvement.

[Jimbobq11]

I think I have a new favorite modification. Also: Space Shuttles with four SRBs are very awesome.

Buran had 4 boosters( but they were LRB'S not SRB's)

[Jimbobq11]

I know. I was following the philosophy of moar boosters and was also inspired by Stephen Baxter's short story War Birds (Which is a very awesome story).

Listen up folks, if you're only here to give the OP grief about their mod, go somewhere else. If you don't like something, just move along. By taking the time to type up a post that does nothing but harass the OP, you are quickly going to run afoul of the moderators.

Take this as your first and only warning, anyone continuing to give the modders in this thread that have graciously given their time to create free content a hard time, I will start tossing out the infractions.

Got it?

Good.

Cheers!

i agree 100%

i've had a look at the gear configs and I believe the problem lies withing the attach nodes of the wings or the crash tolerance is to low if the wings are being torn of by the gear braking to stop the shuttle that's just a suggestion but otherwise great job!
