I just made the trunk undock from DM-1, using a keypress event. Could it also trigger an animation on another vessel. Such as retract the umbilical from the trunk, then undock it ?

Dock port not loading that it is jettisonable. It seems to save it, but does not load it.

I also have thought about giving the option of encrypting the cfg and make it password protected for those who are willing to keep the vessel source closed. Would that be an interesting option? I don t like it much because i would have to keep also the encryption alghorithm closed source, but if users think that it s a must i could work on it

I don't like this idea... :nono:

Relevant to payload I had this idea, any feedback is welcome:
the best option to manage payloads is through docking ports, since docking manages also all the physics. The "issue" I see is that once a docked vessel is released the docking port remains available for further docking and that is unrealistic to me.
So my idea for a solution is to mark a docking port as a "payload port", that will be available for just one docking (when you dock your payload) and once you released the payload the docking port will be automatically deleted. In this way it would be easy also to setup the initial scenario of an addon using the scenario editor. I would also add the mangement of jettison through the usual "J" key instead of having to using CTRL+D to undock.
In this way it would also be possible to have nested payloads, rotated payloads... the whole package...

Do you guys like this option?
Yes ! This is an EXCELLENTE idea. :thumbup:

Confirmed and (hopefully) solved, check the attached file. Your work in this phase is invaluable Don. The addition of the multiple configuration made me rewrite almost 10.000 lines of code and I made some mistakes here and there and you're finding them all!!! Thank you!!! :hailprobe:

for sure not on another vessel. I am thinking if it is possible with the current options but maybe not.

I should add an "animation level" trigger so if an animation status is above or below a user defined value the event gets triggered. I was a bit reluctant to this because I was afraid of too much intersection works, but it's an option that honestly should be there because the "start animation" event will just trigger the animation and the event is consumed immediately but in general it is an useful option to make something happening when an animation gets to a certain point.

don't worries, this idea was abandoned and it will not be implemented ;)

So Not sure if your program but I tried the Changelander.

when testing the hover

It started to roll. once I apply horizon level it was level

CAn you do this:
Code:
SetSurfaceFrictionCoeff(50, 40);

What about transponders?

I let it build the touchdown points also.

Confirmed and (hopefully) solved, check the attached file.
Sorry to say, but the problem is not fixed. It still will not load the dock port with jettison able checked.


When I clicked on the dock port, (trunk in the pic) I got the error shown.

ok, then I was too quick in looking it, give me a day to check it properly

No hurry !! Thanks. I can still undock it the old way. But I was experimenting with events.

It started to roll. once I apply horizon level it was level

I m not sure I understand it right, but if I do, it's not about VB, it's a combination of things with terrain and TD points: it's more difficult to lift off just vertical without engaging attitude control in 2016, but not much that VB can do about it I think

CAn you do this:
Code:
SetSurfaceFrictionCoeff(50, 40);
not directly, you need to set the Mu/mu_lng parameters of the touchdown points to those numbers (if you did the default points I suggest to edit the CFG manually because it's quicker than noting and input again the points)

What about transponders?
I'm not an expert about them, rarely used them. Are they used a lot/useful? what are the most used parameters? also I suspect that it should be on a vessel basis (while actually VB sets the vessel's class parameters) so probably the best option would be to add this to the MFD that I'll add

I have that issue too with events. I was trying to track it down before pausing the development a couple of days ago. It's on top of my list so now that I'm resuming the work I will try to sort it out soon

You set the brakes always on in the code (can't remember the name ATM, but there is a function for it), so when the vessel lands, it stays where it is. ...

This comes from the 2016 vs 2010 thread and might be important for VB (and perhaps TD_PT).
It seems to be a solution to reach a landed state for very light vessels. Like the Chang'e above that jumps on the surface :)

So can we have brakes on VB, that can default to always on ?

Instead of making a default always on option I'd put a key command to activate "parking brakes", like in flight simulators, so it can be used by both normal addons and this kind of light addons.

I will add it with the [CTRL] + [.] key if I can (so it will be the same of FSX which can be useful to someone)

I think I found out this time the issue with jettisonable docks saving: when I added the soft dock procedure I inadvertedly moved the line of the reload of the jettisonable parameter, now it should be fixed

I added the parking brakes option. you can toggle parking brakes with CTRL + . (the dot, to understand each other if we have different keyboards layout it's 2 keys right of the M). A message in the hud highlights if they are on or not and they get saved and restored if when you close and reopen the scenario.

Yes. Or we could set the surface friction coefficients of the "landing gear wheels" to (absurdly) high values.

The dock port saving issue is fixed, and the soft dock still works also.

Was wondering if the undocking has to be spring loaded. I can think of instances where it wouldn't be desirable ?

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

you got me there, I realized yesterady that it's missing... next thing to be added.

Anyway I'd like to promote the use of dockings or "jettisonable docks", since they have the huge advantage that docks use proper physics, while attachment do not. Jettisonable docks are something new but I deem them interesting. for those who are not accustomed: jettisonable docks are docking ports that supports just one positive docking event, it means: you con dock to them once, but when you undock they will be deleted and not available anymore.


One advantage of attachments is that they are movable.

Checking the tail sitter box is not saved in the .cfg

by "spring loaded" do you mean that when undocking a certain velocity to the vessel is applied?

I think you are referring to the touchdown points section but that is on purpose: you set height from ground, size and tailisitting to generate a default set of points. Once done it's not needed to keep those options, you have the points themselves.

if you want to change the points you can clear the set and regenerate them with different options.

It looks ok lying on it's side, but how do you get it to sit on the heatshield ?

well if the touchdown points are set correctly you have to let it fall upright and it should sit on the shield. Remember that the upright landed attitude is determined by orbiter using the first 3 touchdown points

---------- Post added at 17:24 ---------- Previous post was at 17:15 ----------


If you mean the regular dock there is a small velocity applied by orbiter core. in theory it could be customizable but it would be quite a bit of work. If you mean the soft dock then I'd say it's possible even there of course but I wouldn't like it much.

So the best way would be to unattach it, if you didn't want any speed applied ?

Another question, Is VB compatible with Generic Vehicle ?

at the moment the soft dock system uses 0 speed, so one way could be use the soft dock. In general yes, if you want it to be relased without speed the actual option is to use attachments. The reason why in the orbiter core undocking there is some speed applied is quite easy to see: if the vessels stay too much close they will very likely dock again making almost impossible to undock.

they are both normal orbiter's vessels so I can't think of a reason why they should not. :thumbup:
