Kryten Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 When i select somthing like a prop (exept the pushing ones) it dosent show anything, like the prop is invisable.The props appear well below where your cursor is, usually below the floor-scroll up.

p0stal b0b Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Is there any chance you could post the craft files for those?Sure. You\'ll need the following:C7: All of the thingsJellyCubes: Forward swept wingDamned Industries: Robotics & Aerospace packsTiberDyne: Mk3 shuttle RCS nose unit, Launchpad StandKosmos - ASASKW - KW Strut Connector MediumVoid Bukerneering - Particle CannonHSTW - Sunbeam LaserProbodobodyne: Satellite strutsOnce again, I\'d recommend using a joystick to fly these craft. Especially the Wright Brother\'s Flyer_1, it\'s the most maneouverable aircraft I\'ve ever created, but that naturally comes at the price of straight-line stability.

madmat Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 That Vtol is a cool looking beast. You did well landing it on the hangar. Lots of practice eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I have no idea why, but on certain occasions the prop on the front of a plane will fly off. Randomly. Changing things can fix it, but then if i add a part it may fly off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYJ Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 That\'s likely due the origin hack madness required in .14. I\'m currently getting the pack ready for .15, this version will not use that hack ( Thanks to C7 for making the engine damage toggle-able in the .cfg per my request)This means that both the helicopter part and the pulling props will get sensible mass values and no longer have a TWR over 9000, this is already tested and works much better than before.

p0stal b0b Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Just because I love these parts so much, here\'s another aircraft, cross-posted from the thread in the Spacecraft Exchange:The MkII ADD Swallow.In my experimenting, I\'ve come across the immutable fact that if you want a nimble aircraft, you should either make a canard, or a biplane. So I made an aircraft that\'s both. At low speeds(flies best at only 2 marks of throttle) it can turn within the radius of the VAB, as proven by a number of crashes whilst using the VAB as a race pylon. I seriously recommend using a joystick to fly the ADD Swallow, or else you\'ll find yourself laminated to various surfaces at high speed.To fly the ADD Swallow, you\'ll need the following:C7: All of the thingsDamned Aerospace: 1m pusher propJellyCubes: Forward swept wingTiberDyne: Launch StandKosmos: 1m inverterKW - KW Strut Connector Medium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p0stal b0b Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 You magnificent, magnificent bastard. A thousand \'thank-you\'s, this is the best thing to happen to my day ever. Also, it seems the SPH building has a phantom roof... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellven Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Had some bizarre going on so far with this, first was the turbines attached to tiltrotor parts ending up pointing the wrong way, second was the ducted fans being um...symetrical. The problem is that they don\'t have a visual front/back differentiation, so figuring out which direction to face them is a bit of a challenge. Also seeing the old joint bending again, but I have a solution for that, if it still works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYJ Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 The direction of rotation is determined by which side you attach the tiltrotor to, right side should be correct iirc.The ducted fans have a orange and a red spinner, the red one pointing backwards. Might not be ideal for colorblind people, but you can easily recolor that part of the texture to a more easily differentiated color (blue maybe?).Seen some weirdness with surface attached things, weirdly enough hitting restart flight seem to make the joints rock solid.

zYnthethicz Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 When i try to select these parts from the VAB/SPH the text 'This part isn\'t available in this version of KSP'Ehm, explanation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYJ Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 You are either using the demo version or have the wrong/no version of the plugin. The correct plugin version is 1.8.2 and is included in the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0stal b0b Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Out of curiosity, are you planning to alter the thrust/fuel consumption parameters to bring your engines more inline with the new stock spaceplane engines at all, or are you satisfied with them as they are?

DYJ Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Unless I missed something the TWR of my engines should match C7s now, not sure if I looked at the fuel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0stal b0b Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The TWR does indeed match, except for the 1m pusher prop, which still has a weight of 0.2, not 1. Not sure whether or not you want to make the props less powerful than comparative jet engines, as that seems to be a realism call, not a gameplay one. However, the fuel consumption on the new C7\'s are 0.3 & 0.4, whereas your 1m props still have a burn rate of 2, making them less useful for flights of any duration.That said, thanks again for all the hard work & awesome parts!

DYJ Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 And I adjusted the engines fuel consumption to match that of C7s engines. All except the propfan, that has half the TWR and twice the fuel-efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkman Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I haven\'t seen any of his other films, except titanic (gotta love a good drama) so I wouldn\'t know. You mean you haven\'t seen 'Aliens'? Nothing else matters unless you have seen that (and of course its predecessor 'Alien').That movie even contains some Kerbal-worthy vehicles: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
