May the Probe hail you for a change!

AMAZING!

 

[Woo482]

YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now I can build my station whith the Dgiv

 

[Whatu]

Incredibly COOL!!! :speakcool:
Thank you very very much!


Edit: I forgot to say that Universal Cargo Deck is also very cool. :lol:

 

[Woo482]

can I use universal cargo deck to attach this to a vessel ?

 

[Whatu]

It can be attached on its own. Its explained in the documentation.
Create a urms, an edit it, with scenario editor.
Under visual settings, set the core ship to the vessel you want the arm on.
Then you can further adjust under placement.

 

[Woo482]

ok thanks

 

[DoyleChris]

Is it possible to daisy chain them together

 

[Donamy]

Does it use inverse kinetics ?

 

[Xantcha]

DoyleChris> No, it looks like it's not possible to make a chain of RMS'es.

Also - Universal RMS leads the of machine rebellion:

Cool add-on, it can be very useful and probably will replace the Spacecraft3 robotica arm implementation which hasn't such a nice interface.

Kulch I visited you website recently and gave a look around. Very nice projects in general especially the Energia, Vulkan, Energia-2 and payload manager.

Looking forward for their release and Happy landing

Does it use inverse kinetics ?

No. I thought about it and have decided that it is not necessary - in first release.
May be in next will be implemented

 

[Woo482]

can you make a universal parachute?

OK, who forgot to reprogram the BIOS?

 

[Kunsa]

Wow. This looks awsome. Can't wait to try it out. Good Job!

 

[kulch]

can you make a universal parachute?

Not planned.

 

[SilvaHeed]

Great! Thanks Yuri, It's just what I've been looking for.
For ages, I've been after something to enable me to load the cargo modules on that long forgotten workhorse -- the ShuttleA.

I can feel lots of supply missions in the pipeline.

 

[computerex]

can you make a universal parachute?

Already done, sitting on my desktop.

Excellent as always Kulch, I didn't expect anything lower considering your past add-on record!

 

[James.Denholm]

Already done, sitting on my desktop.

Show-off. :speakcool:

 

[Usonian]

This looks great! And I agree that it could be a nice alternative to the Spacecraft3 RMS, but....

Could you do a smaller version, with arm sections only 1 to 2 meters long? This would be handy for use on smaller, unmanned satellites - picking up Martian rock samples for return to Earth, or a teleoperator satellite grabbing "dead" satellites and returning them to a shuttle, or as part of a Manned Manuevering Unit to give an astronaut an extra arm (or arms).

The ultimate would be a single arm that could be "scaled" with a scenario parameter.

Being a c++ illiterate makes it easy for me to imagine this stuff
