[v0.17] Damned Aerospace Version 1.5.3 + Crewtank

[DYJ]

Together with R4m0n I\'ve made things that not only rotate but also spin!

Plugin/general help by r4m0n

Models/textures by Damnyoujapan

Pack includes:

Turboprop engine

Prop-fan engine

Counter-rotating coaxial helicopter unit

Simple propeller engine in 1m and 0.5m, pushing and pulling.

Old-school rotary engine loosely based on the Clerget 9B.

VJ-101 inspired dualturbine unit

Basic wingswing mechanism

Basic tiltrotor mechanism

Avataresq ducted coaxial rotors

F-35/Yak-141 inspired engine hinge thing

Not only does these engines have rotating parts they are also air-breathing, flying the helicopter to the mun is therefor impossible.

Please note that the all non pushing engines use origin hacks to get past the engine deathray issue, this causes them to spawn offset from where you drop them in the VAB (should be either 12 or 15m below, so dropping them quite high up in the VAB is a good idea).

Thanks to my inside man (C7) engine damage can now be turned off, all pulling props now have a mass value with some logic behind it.

The swingwingmech has very thin moving colliders so placing stuff on it is a tad bid finicky in angle snap mode, normal attach works fine.

Installation note: The plugin within this release is the same MuMechLib as in the mechjeb 1.9.1 release.

Alpha release, please report bugs and other potential horrors.

I can personally say I am going to thoroughly enjoy using this.

Now to make a craft with just the right balance of weight and fuel/regeneration to keep it hovering indefinitely.

[Emilio]

Finally, it\'s released !

Will download as soon as my mum leaves the computer (posting from dsi).

Dunno if it\'s the same for you guys, but in France there\'s a 3 days weekend, I\'m gonna have fun with thoses !

[Kreuzung]

Ha we\'ve got holidays in germany ;P!

I\'ll try this out in around 10 seconds ;D

[SmiteZero]

May I ask what the 'Engine deathray issue' is?

[TaTaRinBsB]

yeah!!!!! very useful in planes construct!

[DYJ]

What I meant with engine deathray issue is that LFE based things cast a 'deathray' from their origin along the thrust vector, damaging things it comes in contact with. And since the both the turboprop and the helicopterunit are intended to pull rather than push they would end up deathraying themselfs if their origins were at a logical position.

[Cthulufaic]

My eyes are crying rainbows and kittens Now I just need to learn how to land a plane outside IL-2

[RedDwarfIV]

Sorry to have to ask this here, but what\'s the music called in those videos?

And awesome plugin.

[Rocketscienist]

It´s really cool. What will you do next?

Holidays !!

[DYJ]

Project KSC2KSC is a success, nonstop flight from KSC to the other KSC under 6km altitude, took an hour and 15minutes.

[cteam]

Some one pass me a paper bag im a hayperventelateing!!! <------ cant spell

[Lazurkri]

My god, I can now make Hokums to menace.... my own Kerbalnauts.....

Hmmn, now to attempt to remake the Maxim Gorky....

[DYJ]

Another engine I\'ve been working on.

[Misterspork]

Is it just me or can anyone else not see the pictures?

[madmat]

I\'m getting these pics, But not many pics on a few other pages.

[Xazas]

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? The probs arent rotating at all... :\'( but anyway, great mod!

[DYJ]

I think Imgur.com have issues atm, the pictures should work when they get their servers in order.

Xazas, sounds to me like you didn\'t replace your mechjeb plugin.

[Tim_Barrett]

Oh damn... I cannot wait to use this! This is awesome!

We can finally have thrust from the front in an easier manner.

[Xazas]

Yep, so it was my mistake.

[Radion]

Is there a reason the plugin is the same name as the MechJeb plugin?

[cteam]

Is there a reason the plugin is the same name as the MechJeb plugin?

it used the mumeck engern syttem {the ome where you can select the engens you want to cotrile}

[Lord_Stimpy]

Ohmy, instant download of awesomeness

[Misterspork]

The turboprop part doesn\'t show up when I try to place it, only the coax and the turbofan do.

[Emilio]

Strange, shows up perfectly for me...

Could I request something ?

A reversed version of the propellers, to do push-pull props like the AR-234... Also, the coaxial collider node isn\'t pratical, you should check that
