[0.25] Airplane Weights [v1.3]

[PatPL]

Hi!

Do you have problems with setting proper center of mass and center of lift in planes?

Are you tired of using Mono-propellant as counter-weight?

Then use my mod!

Airplane Weights adds 4 tweakable weights:

From left to right:

1. M-500 Small Weight (MAX 500KG)

2. M-1000 Medium Weight (MAX 1000KG)

3. M-3000 Large Weight (MAX 3000KG)

4. I-2500 Inline Weight (MAX 2500KG)*

*not on picture

Every weight is tweakable in building mode. One KG costs one fund (Empty weight weights 0.001t and costs 1 funds)

Every radial weight has built-in decoupler, so you don't need traditional decouplers anymore!

Every weight is unlocked in Aerodynamics tech node.

PROBLEM?

SOLVED!

Aerodynamic and Nice looking

*clap clap*

THIS IS AMAZING

[PatPL]

Really, or you're just joking?

[Drew Kerman]

I think he's serious. And I'd say this is awesome too. Especially the built-in decouplers so you can dump weight to rebalance as you lose fuel or drop a payload. Very well thought-out addition. Downloading!

[Javster]

Interesting, but would be more useful if it stored fuel so it's no dead weight.

[kenbobo]

I be serious, m8

Why the low weight limits? Lead is about 11,000kg/m^3.

Why the low weight limits? Lead is about 11,000kg/m^3.

Yes, but size of the smallest weight is 0.2 * 0.2 * 0.3 in Blender, so in KSP it's 0.25m * 0.25m * 0.375m then volume is ~0,02343m3

Now let's count the mass | Density = Mass/Volume | Mass = Density*Volume | Mass = 11000kg/m3 * 0.2343m3 | Mass = 257.8kg (Only this cube between these triangles, so with them this should wieght about 330kg)

Let's check the Density of my smallest weight: Density = Mass/Volume | Densiity = 500kg / 0.02343 | Density = 21340kg/m3

Platinum density is 21,450kg/m3, So the smallest weight is made out of platinum.

*clap clap* Tweakble weights, just what we need!

Sheesh don't you think that's a little expensive?

[SlimeCrusher]

You should make an inline version of it, if you need more weight, just place some more!

Great mod BTW.

[PatPL]

Sheesh don't you think that's a little expensive?

Maybe it is in our world, but maybe in Kerbal Universe it's everywhere.

Inline version is brilliant idea! I'll make it in free-time.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

1.1 update

- Added Inline Weight

[Abdu]

Thank you so much this is amazing 10/10

REMEMBER!

If You have great idea for what i can add to this add-on, post it!

Another weight in the shape of a banana, just saying...

[z26]

The inline version is a nice idea, but why it allows twice the weight that the large weight when in terms of volume it is comparable to the little one? I understand that ksp might be a bit unrealistic in term of density, but not to the point of making it 8 times denser than the core of the sun or something.

[PatPL]

Small mistake in counting. I've gave it 3 times more volume then it has. HOTFIX IS OUT!

[civilwargeeky]

I'm not sure if this happens in career as well, but in sandbox the weights give negative cost. If I attach an inline weight to a 3200 cost part, the total cost is 701. If I set it to full weight, it goes up to 3200.

Great mod!

Update the pictures again? They all expired or something.

Yeah, but try using imgur this time. Imgur is what most people around here use, as it is pretty reliable and free to use.
