astrosammy's addons

[astrosammy]

In this thread I'll post news and informations about my addons.

This is my first:

Waterrocket v1.0
A rocket for Orbiter only powered by water and air.
The real rocket was taken from the market because the tank is to thin.
It can be downloaded here:

I have a little problem now: I want do change the shape of the wings. How can I do that? I clicked Build/Convert to Mesh, like ar81's tutorial says but nothing happened.

It did. Now you can work with the mesh's faces/vertices.

It's the vertices you want to edit and you do this by clicking on the button to the left with 3 black squares.

Now the vertices should become visible, they're the black squares around the meshes.

I wonder if a water/steam powered rocket could reach orbit... That would make our space program exponentially cheaper.

A water rocket for orbit launches... sounds interesting.

Here is the name of my new rocket:

All my rockets will now get names of Saturn moons, because it's my third favourite planet (No.1, Earth does not have enough moons, and for No.2, Mars it's the same thing).

EDIT: Oh my god! I hear the first birds singing! It's 4:13 AM, I really should go to bed now...

Here's a video of the water rocket. The tank was not full, but if the tank is full and when it has a high air pressure it goes up to 100 Meters.

It is very annoying if you always have to move your Deltaglider to the SLF runway with the scenario editor because you use the High Res KSC tiles. So I made two bases, named KSC15 and KSC33 at the ends of the SLF runway. Now you just have to select the base in the scenario editor and you are on the runway.

Copy the two cfg files into Orbiter/Config/Earth/Base.
