Project My first Addon

[the.punk]

You can try to launch it on my gigantic Hercules rocket

Hercules super heavy launcher

I think even that could carry this.
I think it must be constructed in orbit.

Cool addon.

Small update

Zop Heavy Industries presents the Lifting/Landing Utility Craft (LLUC),
intended as Dropship for the yet unnamed Explorer:

Features:
-Fully Moving parts (except nosewheel steering)
-elevon control surfaces (ailerons and elevator combined)
-retractable Landing Gear
-Utility winch,intended for lifting light to medium Cargo or the Explorer-Rover
-Cargobay (for the Rover)
-Front dockingport animated (and both airlocks animated)

Work to do (plenty!): Textures,VC,maybe a own module..

some shots:

operating at Cap Canaveral:

operating at Brighton Beach:

landed at Brighton Beach:

currently a spacecraft3 vessel...
someone willing to do a module for it?:embarrassed:

Really small update :

Some textures done,and just for comparsion a Ummu and a DG:

That's really cool!!! You're motivating me to continue my WIP addon

The winch is especially neat!

EDIT: Also, how do you do a winch with spacecraft3 (this may just be my lack of Orbiter knowledge coming into play)?

Took me a while to fiddle it out right

Looks nice.

Dropship is nearly complete...im not happy with the vc...but it stays that way for a while...
In the process of testing i discovered a new (albeit cruel) sport.... :

UMMU THROWING OFF THE HOOK !

Recipe:

1. Get a Ummu attached to the winch :

2. Spin the Dropship fast around Z or X axis:

3. Let the Ummu go !

If you deorbit the Ummu you have lost

Edit: achieved speed of the Ummu relative to the Ship at first try : 250 m/s !

Pah! 250 m/s is for beginners. Throw a DG to the Moon: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3399"]Ananke Tether-Sling v0.2[/ame]

Yeah...but the cable on the winch of the dropship is only 50 meters long...not 100k

 

[tgep]

A most excellent first effort ! By the looks of it, it would fit right in with the Colonial Marine fleet.:speakcool:

Lol, I know, you must have had some serious angular velocity! Anyway, nice work :speakcool:

Yup...i better not tell that the cockpit needed cleaning after the KILLROT-autopilot :lol:
