Vessel Finishing what stevecast Started

[Buck Rogers]

No problem, I can give it a go. Do they all need converting? I can start with the breaching pod and see if it works.

 

[gattispilot]

Yes. here she is. I wonder if the thrust flame should be in orbiter and not part of the model?

That's what I said earlier - you need to remove that part of the model.

Yes, you should convert all the vessels mentioned in my earlier post.

Questions
Beachpod. do you want a exhaust for main where there would be 4 exhaust on one direction and 4 exhaust for retro?
Construction Fury. Should it be able to land on a surface? Might need to re-orientate the mesh

Beachpod. do you want a exhaust for main where there would be 4 exhaust on one direction and 4 exhaust for retro?

Yes, that should ideally be how the engines are configured.

Construction Fury. Should it be able to land on a surface? Might need to re-orientate the mesh

The construction Starfury is not designed for use within a planet's atmosphere, but you will need to re-orientate it nevertheless, in a manner similar to the standard Aurora-type Starfury. Additionally, you will need to make sure that the size of the cockpit section is the same as that of the standard Starfury.

Regarding both vessels, you will need to substantially reduce the amount of illumination in the mesh to a level similar to B4 or the Nova-class dreadnought.

Resized the fury.
on the BreachingPod. Orientation? Why it matters. If firing mains which is usually Z moves this craft forward. But I think the main thrust moves the craft along the Y axis. so up/down for retro?

 

[Luke Reichelt]

so up/down for retro?

That should be correct.

By the way, you apparently mixed up the textures for the "wings" with those of the the thrust jet.

 

[gattispilot]

fixed the texture.
So you want main to fire below and retro on top? The way the craft is oriented. Hover should be firing there. But although there is a hover thrust no negative thrust?

If you want the main/retro to follow the model then the model will need to be rotated 90 degrees

 

[Luke Reichelt]

Yeah, you might as well. I myself was a little unsure about how to handle the orientation, but rotating it 90 degrees seems like the best option.

Have you the requested changes to the mesh yet?

 

[gattispilot]

Yes, we get this for main firing

Have you got the configuration files done yet?

 

[gattispilot]

I got the basic things done. I need to add rcs.

on the fury it mentions a VC and there is none in the model

[VC]
MESHNAME="Babylon5/ConstructionStarfury"
MFD_LEFT=3
MFD_RIGHT=4
HUD=28
HUD_SIZE=0.2
HUD_CENTER=(0.0,0.5,3.6)

toned down

Oh, by the way, I think I may have gotten the size of the breaching pod wrong - it's actually closer to 30 meters in length.

 

[gattispilot]

Oh. here is the ConstructionStarFury.
from Landing gear to top of the thruster is about 42 meters.

 

[Luke Reichelt]

from Landing gear to top of the thruster is about 42 meters.

Yeah, that should be the right size.

 

[gattispilot]

Try this for the Breaching pod. It might be missing a exhaust?
