Announcement

I'm aware that I haven't been very active in progressing this mod recently. The reasons are due deteriorating health and frequently being sick, some requiring an ER visit. Well, after months of seeing doctors, tests tests and more tests, the results are in. A very minor problem, but one that will require surgery. The surgery is next week, then there will be a recovery period. I'm hoping to return to this project and complete it after I can actually comfortably sit in front of the computer again.

My apologies for this mod taking much longer than it should to complete.

Regards,

-NoOneSpecial

No need for apologies. Health comes first. Get well.

[Viruzzz]

take your time because the mod can wait. get well

[Neutrinovore]

I'll third that sentiment: I hope you get well soon, friend. Good luck with the surgery, and we will all celebrate your return when the time comes.

Any news on this

Pretty much just holding off for KSP 1.0 and a few refinements. Such as, I want to have a look at the KSP 1.0 fairing system and such. Other than the fairings, it's good to go.

[Mecripp]

Any news fingers crossed

[noonespecial]

I actually haven't touched this recently. I've been working on (in order of priority): Chaka Monkey, SLS, and something from the Launchers Pack. I expect to be finished with SLS this within the next few weeks, at which time this will take priority.

FYI:

This will be in the JAXA release

[noonespecial]

So, since "two piece" fairings apparently don't work with the new fairing/drag model system. Any idea how I might go about changing the fairings of this thing to be compatible with the new system?

P.S. That fairing is the only thing keeping this from being finished

[Mecripp]

Can you use ProceduralFairings for it just re-texture them to look like what you want ?

EDIT- You might look to see how there doing it here http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/94427-1-0-2-REVIVED-Zero-Point-Inline-Fairings-v1-0-1-%282015-06-09%29?p=2007912&viewfull=1#post2007912

there is a mod called "stock camshell fairings", should work fine enough, dont you think?

Actually, while I was configuring the Launchers Pack for 1.0, I realized that there's no real difference. Ok, you have to follow the prograde marker more carefully, but it makes launches more interesting and challenging. Alternatively, you could use the stock pfairings, though that makes detailed textures difficult.

YAY, a HLV!

This is amazing! Since the ISS is most likely getting a new update all of the resupply vehicles..I WANT THEM!!

[YANFRET]

It is an extremely nice HTV model!

[noonespecial]

For this particular project, I'm rather against procedural type fairings. Does anyone know if you can "lock" a size and shape with the stock pfairings?

[Mecripp]

Why not use you own if you have already made them ?

[noonespecial]

Why not use you own if you have already made them ?

If I have no alternative, then I will use them. However, I would like fairings that are more than simply decorative and serve the function for which they are intended. As is, they would only increase weight with no added benefit.

As posted before Starwaster has come up with away to help Zero Point Inline Fairings to be shielded and Kerbas_ad_astra has posted some to for mods

@PART[*****]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleDecouple]]:NEEDS[AnimatedDecouplers]
{
    @MODULE[ModuleDecouple],*
    {
        @name = ModuleAnimatedDecoupler
    }

    MODULE[ModuleCargoBay]
    {
        DeployModuleIndex = 2
        lookupCenter = 0,5,0
        lookupRadius = 5
        -nodeOuterAftID = unnecessary
        -nodeInnerAftID = unnecessary
    }
}

Don't know if you have to have his plugin or if you can just use the decoupler node for the fairings and why not procedural fairings it says it works with far and the stock aero and can they be set to a one sizes ?

[noonespecial]

Update:

I've had zero luck with the fairings, even with the AnimatedDecoupler. Where I stand right now: Everything is complete and in game, I'm just bug hunting through part.cfg files to make sure everything is working properly. Expect an alpha release (minus fairings) within the next day or two.

[Virtualgenius]

Starwaster was writing a plugin to use a normal fairing its in the KW thread

forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/51037-1-02-KW-Rocketry-v2-7-Available-1-02-Compatibility%21-16-05-2015/page258

[noonespecial]

Well, that explains why I couldn't get it to work.

No, that won't work.... but I am working on a plugin that will allow the original fairings to work properly with aero. It's been slower going than I had anticipaetd but it is coming along.

(the problem with getting Animated Decouplers to work with the fairings is that it would only work for the cones. The side pieces wouldn't give coverage. What I'm working on will go into the fairing base and it will detect the fairing pieces and it will properly size the shielded area accordingly)

Side fairings don't work even with the plugin, only cones.

[Virtualgenius]

So hopefully his new plugin solves all the problems

Submitted for your Approval

The JAXA HIIB - Alpha Release 0.01

Basically, just the models with copy and pasted config information - i.e. completely not balanced

Recommended Mods

Reflective Plugin by Starwaster

Note: The craft files requires real chute, because I have a stock capsule and adapters under the fairings for demo purposes. If you don't have Real Chute, this mod will work fine. It doesn't require it.
