Thanks :) This is the most advanced 3d-model I have ever done. I learned a lot by doing it! Yea, I have no idea how this design would behave in reality. Do you think that the wings could easily be snapped off by sudden pressure changes or something? The forward-folded design of my last ship was...

If you use radius collision you could do cones or something from each docking port and just exclude the collision if these intersect. When they drift apart you could apply force in a suitable direction to keep the docking in a sort of docking-tunnel. And maybe apply some damage too if it was a...

Hi all, Just wanted to share some pictures of my work on a new space vessel: This is a successor to the half-finished http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=6399&highlight=lastotjka I don't have a name yet, but in the end it will just be a better Lastotjka.

Nice :thumbup: I saw the videos. You use the radius for collision detection. Any plans for mesh-to-mesh collision?

ooh, weapons! Love this idea! Had some thoughts myself (or dreams really) to develop something like this. First of all for the vessel to vessel collission. But later on also crude simulation of some other physics-things that is not done yet in orbiter - radiation, explosions, particle systems...

Seems like a nice little adventure you had there with the Lastotjka ;) I noticed too that the ISP at low thrust with the combined engine mode is a bit unrealistic. A version with state saving + some improved physical parameters is on the way.

Nice :lol: Must try this out right now...

Mm, I think I have that crap already, but I might be wrong. Is it because some addons are dependant on dlls from that package? Ah, just remembered also: The same problem with invisibility appears for me when using the new-ish ISS addon: International Space Station v.1.1

Collision detection would be great! Say, if I somehow got the time to make an attempt on mesh-to-mesh collision - are there functions in the Orbiter API to get mesh info? Can't recall I have seen any. What functions did you use Artlav? My plan (more of a daydream really) is to make a combined...

Nice craft! I created your ship with the Scenario Editor, but it turned out invisible :( Might be my orbiter-installation though. When you save your scenario will the settings of the Universal Cargo Deck get saved as well? When I use it on my ship that I'm developing they do not - all the cargo...

2y = y does not imply 2 = 1 Which is the answer =P

Try activating the gas-collectors (C), Marcel. Lastotjka will then collect gas, compress it/ lead it directly through the engines. The turning nose-wheel -effect needs to be re-implemented. It behaves kind of strange now, yes. :( ---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at...

Lastotjka 0.5 is released on Orbithangar with some new features and improved visuals. Enjoy!

Lastotjka (Ласточка) -class strategical bomber Soviet thermonuclear space bomber from 1991. Features: - Thermonuclear drive for atmospheric travel - Experimental combined ion drive for even more efficient interplanetary travel (works bad in the atmosphere at low altitudes). Has...

Yes :) Did a thread in Addon development also. Someone here must know.
