[1.3.0] OPT Space Plane v2.0.1 - updated 29/07/2017

[zekes]

these are so cool, i want them to go in the stock game

[Zeenobit]

I'm very (im)patiently waiting for the FAR support so I can actually start using these. They look amazing.

[royying]

I suggest the cargo bay should remove the end like the MK2 cargo bay,

then we can extend the cargo bay by more parts

[RHodeidra]

Vice nice work, sir. Can't wait to try them out.

[Guest]

Beautiful parts! Can't wait for FAR/NEAR and TAC support so I add even more parts to my game (which is barely able to run as is)

[SpaceLaunchSystem]

Where's the download? I can only find one for the test parts and prebuilt craft.

You have to click Other Downloads to see all files.

Thanks for the comment! both has been done! I might release 1.4 by end of this week!

I did not know how to set main file and sub file in curse, so is all together the main file is called OPTSPPV1.3

Update: Expect to see this craft soon

Thanks for all the supports so far

Yay! Time for the Kerbodyne Heavy Lift range...

(BTW, if you can figure out how to make a cargo bay that is easy to drive rovers in and out of, there will be many happy Kerbonauts)

Here's the FAR config I made, for anyone interested.

Also K.Yeon - would it be possible to enable steering on the large landing gear?

[Red Iron Crown]

The adapter to Mk2 shown in the teaser pic is a part I've been craving when messing around with these parts, looks great. Are those 1.25m nodes on either side?

Yikes, that thing looks like it will make the air bleed!

[BBQRemote]

What conflicts does this mod have with B9? I cant load the parts with fuel.

They both use Firespitter, so maybe one is trying to install an earlier version.

[LesnoyLis]

Hi, tnx for a great mod! Just now I start to explore VAB capabilities in KSP, and found this! Crafts in albums looks just fantastic. But..

Well, can I ask for a little help?

Since now i successfuly builded a few orbital planes with stock parts. But when i trying to do somthenig with this amazing parts, plane start to fly like a stone %)

Can someone send to me a flyable .craft save? Just for education purposes =)

Mods installed - joint reinforcment, firespitter.

Thank you and forgive my bad english!

[SlimJim89]

Just really need to show my appreciation of the cockpits, especially the JL one... Great view!

[JohntheMunWalker]

I love this pack!!! The j parts is what i wanted for a long time it fits the stock parts really well. And why isnt this in release thread? I think alot of people would love this

[KBluey]

Really great job with these parts! My only complaint is that the engine seems very overpowered, but that's easily solved by me simply not using it. As others have said, I would love to have adapters from your cockpit to 2.5m and from your cockpits and body parts to 3.75m.

[Gryphorim]

I really like the look of the ARIE engine and intake. I was hoping a version of these that fits the Mk2 form factor would be released in this patch, maybe 1.5?

[varsass]

Very cool mod, since it's now working with FAR I've just downloaded it.

I have one question : is it normal that the ARIE engine has no "air breathing" mod ? It seems it should have one from the description, but when I use it, it's just a regular rocket engine.

[Kirondoll]

May I suggest you to add the deadly reentry support to the spaceplane parts?

[Alewx]

Dummy question: is there already an RCS tank and a remote unit, or is it planned?

The parts look really nice, and integrate fine in the style.

[LostElement]

I could totally make a space plane that looks like the SR-2 Normandy

i guess you can say its overpowered, but i think it depends on your play style! Because if is sandbox mode, you can use as much these engines as you wish, but if you play in career mode, 60k for a pair of engine is quite alot to consider. And ill consider the adaptors! thx for the suggest

This ssto engine currently only fulfills what myself want it to do. But is not yet complete as i will continue to adjust it to be more immersive to the game! The reason it does not have an intake yet is because in ksp, intake parts should be on their own with a mass about 0.01. And making this engine have an intake would be problematic from what i understand. Therefore the easy solution would be making this engine modular, and i think mk2's side profile would be a suitable for that. So yes Gryphorim in 1.5 this engine will have separate parts and it could fit mk2.

ok ill implement these in the next update!

That sounds really nice.

It was not an order, just a question.
