update Hey guys, sorry ive been away for a while, been moving and just started my engineering doctorate :-). Bad news about thor and the hammer, hard drive got completly buggered so ive lost everything to do with the project. i did back it up but the usb seems to have run off so it looks like...

yeah, from 2D you will see X% of the circle. in 3D you will see the same X% of the sphere

(1) R/d= sin(f) i think, its been a long time since ive used trig. (2) as d tends to infinity, view of the sphere will tend to 50%, i think you will need to find a function for d for this

now you can do that you have to make it back! i find transx runs into problems when returning from the gas giants. if you go to mars and land, its no problem but if you go to jupiter you cant land on it (unless you want a very quick and painless entry) so transx will not reset. to get back i...

sounds like a brilliant idea, unfortunatly as per request of 100% commitment I have my finals coming up and after that I have my PhD to worry about but i will defenatly be an avid user once the program is up and running, all the best and good luck!

sorry about the delay with this guys. uni is a nightmare at the moment with my dissertation in in 3 days. my last exam is on the 28th of this month so after that ill be able to put my efforts back into this addon.

hey, sorry for not posting back. been away for a bit. cheers liber for that. thankyou to everyone who has downloaded it, if anyone has any questions dont hesitate to ask.

hey guys, just giving you an update on thor. the acutal reusable craft "thor" is ready, all programed, textured and everything. ive found out how to animate now aswell, so the skids it lands on retract for less drag, the control surfaces (all fully animated) are stowed away in the aft of...

this craft has 3 unretractable skids, its just got me thinking if ive missed something out, but im sure i havent

ive sorted the touchdown "LANDPOINTX" and the sim starts with the craft sat on the runway in the correct position. its only when i apply power the the problem occours

hey guys, almost finished the first part of my new addon "Thor". ive been doing some flight tests to see how it flys and ive run into a little problem. ive set all the landing points (there are 3) and when the scenario starts it looks fine, on runway 33 at the cape. as soon as any thrust is...

no idea yet havnt started it, prob going to be 2 or 3

hey guys, just letting you all know my 2nd addon is well underway! its called thor and what i have so far is to be carried atop a rocket (ala multistage2) called the hammer. for the launch thor will be inside a fairing with windows to see through for a controlled accent (and to admire the...

ah, bingo, what should be in this file? ive got one for the payload, it reads; ; === Configuration file for vessel class payload=== ClassName = payload MeshName = multistage\ts_payload Size = 4.8 Mass = 4000. ; empty mass [kg] MaxFuel =0 ; max fuel mass [kg] Isp =0 ; fuel specific impulse...

thankyou, i use anim8or to model and i downloaded a plugin to allow me to save as .msh fom anim8or then i use mesh editor to orientate the mesh correctly. there are no animations but for my next addon im planning to include some just as soon as i work out how to do them lol. for my next...
