    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

    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

    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?

    Problem Ariane 5 particle stream origin point issue

    I am using the Ariane 5 as a smaller launcher, and I have adjusted the height to use it at Wideawake on the vertical pads. The issue I am having is that the exhaust for the SRBs looks like it is originating about 25 feet below the actual nozzle. How do I adjust the origin point for the...

    Problem Ariane 6 launching NERVA2, orbiter 2010P1

    I have an interesting problem. I have set up the NERVA2 as the payload for an Ariane 6, and every time i go to jettison the nerva, the thing disappears. I can select it, but the orbital parameters include things like NaN, which means to me that I dont have an orbit..... Does anyone know what...

    Question "heavy" lander for UCGO cargo transport

    Im looking to do a lunar base project, and am looking for something that will serve as an unmanned transport and lander for large amounts of UCGO cargo. I am also looking to restrict it to reasonable for the somewhat near future. If i must use UCD to get the lander to work for my purposes...

    looking into interest for a lunar collaboration project

    I have an idea for a project and would like to gauge interest in collaboration. I would like to build a lunar base of operations as a stepping stone for further exploration, but as I have thought about this, the project seems more suited for a collaborative effort, at least in the scale that I...

    Request Making many space station components function as one for UCGO and UMMU purposes

    I am getting into station building quite a bit, and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to allow multiple modules to act as one in regards to UMMU and UCGO. I realize there is a generic UCGO and UMMU addon, but was wondering if there is perhaps something that would allow me to link the...

    Question Using Sketchup to create meshes

    Perhaps this is the wrong forum for this, but it seems that no other forum properly applies, so here goes: I have become rather proficient with Google Sketchup, and thoroughly enjoy modeling different things. So far, this has been limited to automotive subjects, but since my interests are...

    Proposal for an OMP space station project

    I have seen two or three threads about building a community space station, but the method of swapping scenario files, while effective, is, to me, a little lonely. I propose that we start a project in which two or more people fly missions together in order to construct a space station in LEO...

    Question Quick question about general station building

    If I am attempting to build a space station, will there be any long term problems arising from mixing different modules from different addons, such as using Space Station Building Blocks with These modules and attaching a SpaceX Dragon or two? Also, if this is possible without any major issues...
