DJRWolf Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I was about to download this mod but when I was looking though the Dropbox I saw that the 0.2.0_PRE is over three times the size. Will it have more parts and I should wait for the more stable one to come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it have more parts and I should wait for the more stable one to come out?The pre-release is stable as far as ive tested, and adds lots of neat things haven't encountered anything game breaking( look back a couple pages for details) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJRWolf Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'm still waiting for Near Future Electrical to update anyway so I'll wait. Until then still using .25 so I can power all of the ion drives from Near Future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin-Planet Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yes, I DL the PRE. Awesome. My problem is how to use the blimp and the balloon? I mean how get it to lift off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabidninjawombat Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yes, I DL the PRE. Awesome. My problem is how to use the blimp and the balloon? I mean how get it to lift off?Right click the balloon and it lets you set the pressure (to add or decrease lift) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakan Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Strange, I tried the same (right clicking on the balloon), and no menu came up. What would be the minimal working balloon? Maybe someone could share a craft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverDude Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 You probably didn't install everything in the mod. You need it's latest version of USI_Tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakan Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thank you, that was the right hint.That, and me putting the weather balloon on a FASA launch pad arm to have time to update the pressue to 50% before it crashes into the ground and explodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin-Planet Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks. I will check my version of tools and try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDamDog Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I've been playing around a bit with Sounding Rockets and Movietime in my grossly overmodded career mode. It's gloriously crashy, but between that I did manage to get some shots:The first KSC launch, a single stage sounding rocket.The second rocket, now with TWO stages!The third rocket. I bet you can guess how many stages it had.Don't ask about K-4. We don't talk about K-4.The fourth (not fifth) rocket in the K series violates the rule of K-numbering by having three stages, but the first stage is a real doozy, so it's alright.Also, the first Kerbal image from SPACE! Jeb was really excited over this.(my own humble tribute to this:http://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2014/09/earth1.jpgTaken from a V-2 rocket in 1946.)

Spin-Planet Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I downloaded the latest USI_Tools yesterday and still can't get balloon and blimp to work. I just have a question. Can you write a note to the probecore so it works with RT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverDude Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Someone did a RT config up the thread - and if someone wants to log a github issue I can roll it into the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnanimousCoward Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Someone did a RT config up the thread - and if someone wants to log a github issue I can roll it into the next release.That would be me. Here it is again:// RemoteTech_SoundingRockets// This is free and unencumbered software released into the public domain.// All the code from RemoteTech is in GPLv2@PART[sR_ProbeCore]:HAS[!MODULE[ModuleSPU],!MODULE[ModuleRTAntennaPassive]]:NEEDS[RemoteTech,UmbraSpaceIndustries]:AFTER[umbraSpaceIndustries]:FINAL{ %MODULE[ModuleSPU] { } %MODULE[ModuleRTAntennaPassive] { %TechRequired = start %OmniRange = 100000 %TRANSMITTER { %PacketInterval = 0.3 %PacketSize = 2 %PacketResourceCost = 15.0 } }}@PART[RTPassiveAntennaTech]:NEEDS[RemoteTech,UmbraSpaceIndustries]:AFTER[RemoteTech]:FINAL{ @TechRequired = start}On a related note, it would appear (not for the first time) that I'm a bit of an idiot. In complaining about your fragile rocket truss, I wasn't taking into account the crash tolerance of the experiments / avionics package. I'm guessing now that although the touchdown speed seemed to be less than 5 m/s, some element of it was too close to the limit for these parts, and when they exploded they took the truss with them.My apologies, Mr Dude sir, for casting unwarranted aspersions on your fine mod. I should always remember that it's more likely to be PBKAC than something wrong with your work...If anyone's looking for me, I'll be in the corner with the dunce hat on.

Spin-Planet Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Awesome. Thanks. BTW I DL the tools from catalog, not in the pack. All working good with the balloon and blimp now. I guess I have to install the wind mod now and float away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJRWolf Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Are there plans to make a "packed up" balloon? Would be nice for a probe to drop into Jool, Duna, Laythe, gas planet 2, and gas planet 3.Also, there are "thin film" solar "panel" tech currently available IRL. Not as efficient as a hard panel. You could have a balloon with the top half as a solar panel but even with the entire top half of it being a PV panel it would only generate as much power as two OX-STAT PV panels (1.5 EC/s).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_film_solar_cell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJRWolf Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yep there are plans for a foldable balloonSweet!Could something like that be used to launch back up off of Eve? Also from what I read on the gas planet 2 on KSP' wiki one of it's moons, Fonso, will have an atmosphere double the density of Kerbin. Though it is not as thick as Eve's 5x thick atmosphere.

DJRWolf Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Here is a small rocket I managed to get into orbit with the use of the blimp and weather balloon.In hanger. Just one long fuel tank and 2 small SRB's.Ready to launch. I set the small weather balloon on top to 0% and the blimp to 10%.1m 47s after launch I'm going good.Not the more precise orbit but I got up there with about half a tank to spare.

xXIndestructibleEVAXx Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) ok, and also, does it work with the 0.2.0 prerelease? Edited January 17, 2015 by xXIndestructibleEVAXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louella Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 If I had one of these rockets, and attach it with a stick to a rover, then, I'd be able to drive somewhere else on Kerbin, and launch the rocket for science there, right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
