parts [1.12.x] Sounding Rockets! Start small. Dream big!

[RoverDude]

Nope, just re installed the mod, still having this issue

Same here (sorry)...

Usual deal. Show me screenshots of both your 000_USITools folder and your SoundingRockets folder.

Originally I was thinking that I could bump up my power supply by sneaking some radial capacitors in there but then I remembered those come about 120 science up the tree.

[RoverDude]

Sneaky huh?

[Tangle]

Welp, time to test it in the version it was designed for (?).

[Railgunner2160]

My (Ablight limited) testing in 0.90 the sounding rockets themselves and the probe and science packages all work as they did before. Only thing I haven't tested are the sticks.....

Roverdude, you say to check your signature for the link to this, but the only link i see leads to your github, not your Dropbox

[hakan]

I just flew my first 0.90 "mission", and like any space program worth its name, it has to start with simple sounding rockets

Click the link that says 'Dropbox'...

Whats Bargain rockets? is that the new name for this mod?

[RoverDude]

Bargain Rockets is RubberDucky's Bargain Rockets mod that I'm curating till he returns (or will extend if he does not).

Oh.. and:

0.1.0 is up!

0.90 compatability

Added a little adapter that goes from 0.625 to 0.35 - includes a tiny charge for auto-separation. Great for making SRB powered probes

all i see in your signature is the USI image and

Mods for colonization, exploration, resources, and much more!

edit;

At least when you're posting. If i go to your user page and hit the 'about me' button the rest of your signature shows up

Sounds like a browser issue.

Playing with 0.1.0 in v90. Working as advertised. Great way to collect early science.

Question... i have that initial reach 5000 meters contract. Although my bottle rocket (errr.. Sounding rocket) exceeds that altitude, the contract doesn't get satisfied.

It needs to be completed by a Kerbal.

Thanks, that's sort of what I figured it was.

[madlemur]

So... Can we get a stick for a launch clamp? Makes me misty-eyed for the time I spent with the Estes company products...

[RoverDude]

Yep, you have one already

[Tommygun]

I found out those small SRBs make for perfect JATO rockets.

I'm in career mode and I have plane parts, but not enough science for the landing gear.

So I'm shooting my jets straight into the air and landing them by parachute.

It's great that the entire outside surface of the SRBs acts as a built in decoupler, so I can place them anywhere without using a expensive separate decoupler.

[undercoveryankee]

Yep, you have one already

We have the radial stick for angled launches, but what we don't have that might be cool is the type of rail that several RL sounding rockets launch along. From what I've heard about joints and Unity, "detach only in the direction that it slides" would probably a harder behavior to code than it is to talk about.

[RoverDude]

Sorry, don't quite get what's being asked for. Draw me a picture

The rocket rides along a rail on the launch structure until it's up to speed.

[guto8797]

I doubt that this mod is balanced for NEAR.

I mean, my tiny rocket with just one stage gets to 40km height...

Also, how do I science? there is no option, perhaps due to 0.90 changes? Playing regular carreer mode

If your right click menu is ahoo, ensure you have the latest version. This was fixed.

I discovered that until CrowdSourcedScience is updated it also blocks this action (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/102373-0-90-Crowd-Sourced-Science-Under-New-Management) apparently its also interfering with at least one other mod, Interstellar.

[Dave-In-Texas]

Check out the Sounding Rockets Mod Spotlight I just posted on YouTube: http://youtu.be/t4a6ehvMH4A

http://youtu.be/t4a6ehvMH4A

I watched that video before downloading and installing this addon.

In the current release all of the science modules except the engineering one bear the mouse-over description of meteorological Survey Package, is this somehow intended? the 'old' names are much cooler :-p

[guto8797]

Thanks.

Issue remains with FAR tough. Rockets travel WAY too much and its basically impossible to get low enough speeds for chutes unless you open them at 20km or something. Very nice anyway!
