Amazing mod. One of the few that I actually use. I can't wait for the Skycrane for their curosity-like rover.

do any of you have a link for this mod, it looks amazing!

Some modifications had to be made to get it to work: Thor Landing capsule+heatshield+parachute: 2x scaled. KAS crane: 0.5x scaled

Where do I change these?

[–]t_Lancer[S] 4 points5 points ago

you'll have to fiddle with the part's config file (rescale factor). I don't think I'd have the permsission to upload my modified versions unless I ask the author

I also had to change the location of the stack connections so the capsue would acutally fit. a lot of trial and error was involed.

makes copies of the parts and rename the "name" and "title" so you know which is which in game.

Heatshield

// --- general parameters ---
name = ThorHeatshield2
module = Part
author = Yogui

// --- asset parameters ---
mesh = model.mu
scale = 1
rescaleFactor = 2

// --- node definitions ---
// definition format is Position X, Position Y, Position Z, Up X, Up Y, Up Z
node_stack_top = 0.0, -0.6, 0.0, 0, 1, 0, 1
node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -0.7, 0.0, 0, 1, 0, 1

Capsule

// --- general parameters ---
name = ThorCapsule2
module = Part
author = Yogui

// --- asset parameters ---
mesh = model.mu
scale = 1
rescaleFactor = 2

// --- node definitions ---
// definition format is Position X, Position Y, Position Z, Up X, Up Y, Up Z
node_stack_top = 0.0, 0.69, 0.0, 0, 1, 0, 1
node_stack_bottom = 0.0, 0.55, 0.0, 0, 1, 0, 1
node_stack_2bottom = 0.0, 0.65, 0.0, 0, 1, 0, 1

...

MODULE
{
    name = ModuleDecouple
    ejectionForce = 10
    bottomNodeName = "2bottom"
}

chute

// --- general parameters ---
name = ThorParachute2
module = Parachutes
author = Yogui

// --- asset parameters ---
mesh = parachute.dae
texture = parachute.png
scale = 1.0
rescaleFactor = 1.2

and was for the KAS crane, just rescale that to 0.5. rest is trying to put it together.

Upload it please. Just do it.

how did NASA make sure that it is right side up?

[–]AD-Edge 0 points1 point ago

Yeh the way it was designed to open meant it would always end up the right way.

That is awesome! Could you show pictures of the launch from Kerbal? Bonus points if it's a Delta II look-alike.

I can't help seeing tanks of Mountain Dew all over that case.

Nice landing sir!

I still love how NASA got those rovers down. Cover them in airbags and just throw them!
