    Nozzle Design

    If you are going to be making many nozzles, it might be good to just build the lathe as well (at least a wood lathe, which you could use to form softer materials for use in a mold): http://www.nobugs.org/engineer/woodlathe/index.html This way, you can make many different nozzles with only a...

    Question Autopilot for satellite orbit upkeep

    perhaps, then, something to "lock" the orbital parameters so that the only thing that updates is the position along the orbit? maybe it resets the other orbital parameters every minute (real time) or so? Im talking about something that will generally only be used for satellites and such

    Question Autopilot for satellite orbit upkeep

    Is there an addon that will allow an autopilot to run constantly on a certain vessel? I want to use it for automatic maintenance of orbits, as I would love to be able to put minor vessels like satellites into an orbit and being able to make sure that they stay there, but not have to be focused...

    General Question What is the maximum number of vehicles that can be present in a single scene

    Thats fine. I was more thinking of orbiting satellites and the like. Im planning on firing quite a few satellites into orbit, so most of these vehicles wont be in view most of the time. Speaking of which, is there any addons that allow basic automated stationkeeping for small satellites...

    General Question What is the maximum number of vehicles that can be present in a single scene

    I know that the number of vehicles is going to be influenced by computer performance, but I'm looking for a general number for a medium high end computer. Also, what are the hard limits (if any)?

    Problem Ariane 6 payload spawning with no fuel

    Thank you for your help and guidance. I will try that when I next get the chance. EDIT: IT works! Thank you so much.

    Problem Ariane 6 payload spawning with no fuel

    Well, it looks like I'm going to be delving into spacecraft3 for vessel building. A little earlier Han I had planned, but no real problem. Thanks for letting me know. I do appreciate it. ---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ---------- OK, now i have a...

    Problem Ariane 6 payload spawning with no fuel

    I made a tanker upper stage for the Ariane 6 launcher (the tanker is a big one, carrying 690,000 kg of fuel. It doesnt get into orbit without supplemental boosters) However, I have tried over and over to get it to spawn with fuel, but I cannot. I can spawn the upper stage via the scenario...

    Question Jettison kick for velcro stages

    I have some rockets clusters helping my XR5 to takeoff with large loads, and when the rockets are done, they just kinda fall through the ship. Is there a way to get velcro components to "kick" on jettison, so that they fly free of the core ship?

    looking into interest for a lunar collaboration project

    Ok, now that ims is coming to a point where it can be used reliably, I am hoping to start this back up in the next month or so. There is still some work that as to be done, but planning can at least commence to a small degree.

    Request Space Debris Removal

    I like the new idea that was put out recently to puff out parts of the atmosphere to cause drag on multiple objects at once. They are proposing using essentially a gasoline fuel air bomb to push out atmo. It'll be interesting to see... I wonder if this could be modeled in orbiter? Does...

    I do apologize about the original CM. I ALWAYS have a hard time with textures. Not creating them per se, but generating the ideas. They end up a bit simplistic because of the lack of inspiration on my part. Im just glad that I am able to help this come to fruition. I have literally wanted...

    I see that. I have now volunteered to help with that project, seeing as I really want to see it come to fruition.

    Project Interplanetary modular spacecraft

    I pick up pretty much everything quickly, and I can model, so whatever you need. Send me a list and we can go from there.

    Iron Hill Project Thread

    http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5442 Its the capsule that spacex is developing and launched in last year. I just figure that if you are even the slightest bit concerned about weight, the dragon weighs on the order of 1/2 to 1/3 of the weight of the xr2

    Iron Hill Project Thread

    If you are going to launch an XR5 for cargo, why not take along a capsule for crew reentry and as a small lifeboat? The weight of a capsule would be far less than that of an XR2, and it would still give you the crew options you want. How many people are you taking along? if its 7 or less...

    Project Interplanetary modular spacecraft

    Do you still need people for 3d modeling? I use Sketchup, but I have created quite a few things, mostly for cars (I was using it originally for vehicle design visualization). I suck at textures, however, and have never done anything for orbiter.

    looking into interest for a lunar collaboration project

    ATM, I am using the XR5, which has a payload capacity of 432 metric tons. I like rockets, but I enjoy flying SSTO vehicles so much more (i dont really know why). I also am setting this in a near-mid term future, so SSTO vehicles are more plausible (moreso than today, at least). If others end...

    looking into interest for a lunar collaboration project

    I figured out the issue and corrected it a bit ago, but I truly appreciate the help. If you would like to be involved, please say so. I was originally hoping to have a few people working on this instead of just me, and as of now I am simply playing around with station building at present, as a...

    looking into interest for a lunar collaboration project

    This? If so, sounds really good. It has a good deal of capacity, which will be very useful. ---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ---------- So far, to get modules into orbit, I have been using the XR5. It has a hell of a capacity, and is fun to fly...
