bradbamstl Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I made a shuttle using the Tiberdyne shuttle, and making my own external tank using 2 meter tanks and 3 meter fairings, to get some more fuel without the added weight. Then I attached a Nova Punch 1.75 meter booster to either side. The booster works well for half the flight, then due to lost mass from fuel, it overpowers the shuttle engines, and spins out before I can perform SRB jet. I am not a computer programmer, but when I open up the parts with Console (Mac), I can see the values for dry weight and thrust. How would I go about either increasing the thrust of the Shuttle SSME\'s, or increase the dry weight of the SRB\'s or decrease SRB thrust? I just want to change a couple values, but with Console it\'s view only, as far as I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillWiskins Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I\'m not familiar with the peculiar, alien land of Mac - but in my home town of Windows, you can open a part\'s .cfg file and edit the values using a basic word processing program like Notepad. I\'m guessing there is a Mac equivalent - but be warned, some programs are more likely to mess the file up and cause it to not work correctly, so back up the file first.

Zephram Kerman Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I\'ve been warned to use Notepad++, which is different from the familiar Notepad and is freeware. The issue is two different kinds of EOL character. Not sure if the issue carries over to the Mac side of town; I\'m afraid to cross those tracks after dark.
