Mekan1k Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Dude, this pack is EPIC.It is a bit off, I admit, slightly imperfect, but still. EPIC.(And honestly, who makes perfect mods?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobCat Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) why you remove External tank bump map? Its easy fix.Dragon, i dont know how fly on this craft... I think need fly model hotfix... this not playable ((. Or maybe you make tutorial Ascent-Orbiting-Descent- Landing ?

Guest Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) I think I could do that, but here's the sequence I devised:Engage ASAS. Engage SSMEs and wait for the Shuttle to return to vertical position after the "twang". Engage SRBs and liftoff. At about 1200m, roll the stack to the angle opposite the direction you want to launch in. In most cases you'll be launching to 90 degrees, so roll to 270 degrees. Stabilize the stack and gently began to pitch over at 5000m (adjust for unusual orbits or high loads). Stop at about 45 degrees pitch. When SRBs burn out, jettison them. Continue slowly pitching over so that at 30km you're horizontal. If launching to low orbit, you may pitch an additional 15-20 degrees below the horizon so that the actual thrust vector is vertical. When Ap reaches the desired altiture, cut off the SSMEs. Jettison the ET and translate away from it. Pitch up 18 degrees and fire OMS engines. After clearing the tank, roll 180 degrees and coast to Ap. Level the Shuttle and point the nose 18 degrees above the horizon. Circularize using OMS engines and commence orbital operations.As for descent and atmospheric flight, dump fuel. If you don't do that, you will not be able to fly it, with the full tank it just spins out of control. Simple as that, I believe there is a special fuel dumper included (if Cephus didn't forget it). I'll post the full tutorial later on. Empty, it's very easy to fly, but you need to hit the ground really, really slowly.

generaldk Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Finally I got the Shuttle Down on the run way safely. This is a amazing mod a little bit hard in start, but amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerbal01 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Listen up folks' date=' 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.

Boamere Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I find that when i launch it and i try to rotate the whole shuttle+fuel spins and goes wonky, then when I dump the SRBs my ship nose dive while im trying to go to 45 degrees :/, any help or it just the way i'm launching it?

Anthony Frushour Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 why you remove External tank bump map? Its easy fix.Dragon, i dont know how fly on this craft... I think need fly model hotfix... this not playable ((. Or maybe you make tutorial Ascent-Orbiting-Descent- Landing ? I'm also a little confused when it comes to flying. Is this meant to be flown without MechJeb? I'm having trouble getting the orbiter to Mir. I know there's the issue with the RCS; that may explain my problem with attitude control.Anyway, this mod is AMAZING!!!! I'm so excited to see the Space Shuttle flying again in some form. Replaying the launch over and over to relive my memories of the Space Shuttle Program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer225 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 @Bobcat:I have to go to VAB and rotate the ship till the tail is facing 90 degrees.@Everyone:I have made a video overnight about this. It's too late to edit and publish now (it's 11 PM here) but I'll probably do it. Somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgie Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Thank you, gents, for a stunning mod!You know what would complete this mod? Some kind of payload racks to be loaded into the shuttle's bay. Something to add visual appeal, and structural support for multiple satellites or sats that are too small to warrant the whole bay to themselves.Just my two cents, Im sure a lot of the fixes mentioned beforehand come first!In addendum: talking about MechJeb, Ive only barely tested it, but Ive had no troubles while using the Ascent Autopilot and Smart ASS Edited July 17, 2013 by Budgie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Eagle 1 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hey great mod. Just my two cents.make an IVA (I saw you plain on it but make it so all 7 kermans can be seen) Fix the landing gear (I just put on regular gear for now but would be nice to see a fix)in tracking station it wont allow me to click the fly or end flight button (I 2x click the ship to go to it)other than that I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been waiting a while for a proper Shuttle There should be a dinky part, looking like a stock radial engine, that you can attach to the back of the Shuttle. Fuel Dumper Deluxe, it's a simple .cfg tweak. It's in the pack, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
