Project Gemini Paraglider

[MJR]

Fixed 3 and 6.

All I got to do is develop the drogue.

 

[Star Voyager]

Okay, good deal!

 

[MJR]

The drogue is done. Now I got to re-animate everything. Good thing there is only like 70 groups and not 2830 like the LC.

Now tell me what else bugs there are.

The controls are listed in the configuration file for the Gemini8. I know I got to fix the thrusters though.

 

[Star Voyager]

The adapter mesh is moved down, when Gemini jettisons, there is a space between the 2 adapters, and there is no RCS in the Gemini capsule. And I can't figure out the controls. I think my Orbiter is defective !

 

[MJR]

You mean RCS visual?

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

The controls are as following.


Main chute= Lshift+8

Doors= Lshift+5

Drogue= Lshift+1

 

[Star Voyager]

There is NO fuel in the capsule. Therefore, no RCS. Thank you for the controls!

 

[MJR]

Change it to this and tell me how it works.


EMPTY_MASS=2500
FUEL_MASS=3300
RETRO_THRUST=500
ATTITUDE_THRUST=19000
ISP=10000

Actually, you forgot to jettison the nosecone.

 

[Star Voyager]

Aha! That would be the problem. Thank you!

 

[MJR]

The drogue and main chute actually act as speed brakes.

[MJR]

When does it exactly happen? What mesh hit the ground when it happens. That would help out a lot.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

I think I got the quick fix. Place the gemini_cone mesh in the multistage folder.

 

[Star Voyager]

The gemini_cone mesh is in the Multistage folder. Plus, I think Orbiter crashes when a certain mesh hits the ground. I think it would be nearly impossible to find out. (personally, why don't we put this on hold for awhile. You look like you got your hands full with LC-14. What do you say?).

 

[MJR]

I guess. I'll just be working on it very little.

 

[Star Voyager]

Okay, whatever suits you best. Good luck on LC-14 !

 

[MJR]

I'll have liber take a look at it. He is pretty good at finding those little things. It has something to do with the spacecraft3 meshes I think. I'll see if it works with landing points.

 

[Star Voyager]

Alright, sounds good to me.

 

[MJR]

Here is a picture.

 

[MJR]

I added a correct door sequence, more drag to the chutes, and an interstage ring.

 

[Donamy]

Doesn't look scaled up enough.

 

[MJR]

The chute? The main one that is...

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

I was making the gear/skids for the capsule to land, but I encountered many problems. I just decided to leave the cushion as the landing support. It still has a VC, animated doors, and parachutes.
