Modified version of gustaf's falcon 9.
I remade some parts and functions to represent the demo-1 version of the falcon 9. If anyone is able to add three windows at the frontside of the dragon, be my guest, I fucked up and could only fit two. This is as close as I could get without fucking the centre of mass up. (If you are willing to download and tweak/add shit, and it works, then please upload it to the workshop, we need more shit on here.
Changes
-Added four backup parachutes
-Tweaked 8 draco engines to produce more thrust and sustain enough fuel for orbiting/deorbiting
-Added four landing legs toggles with slider 2 and ag4
-Added solar panels on rear fins
-Remade nose cone so when you decide to lower it, it doesn't fuck with your craft and spin it around to hell
-Added more windows
-Added hatch for realism
-Remade docking port- made it bigger
-Added port and starboard indicators for realistic docking
-Resized grid fins
-Swapped out first stage engines to create realistic thrust/ enough thrust to pass the karmen line and safely return to Droo for a powered landing.
Action Groups
Action group 8+ slider 2 - (dragon) for shocks/landing legs
Action group 5 - first set of parachutes when landing dragon and don't want to spam thru stages until you reach the parachute stage
Action group 7 - Launch escape system (Dragon)
Action group 2- Landing legs first stage
Action group 0- RCS
_Sliders_
Slider 1 controls Nose cone (Don't fuck with the nose cone until you enter space, b/c it can tilt the rocket and spin it around endlessly, rcs doesnt seem to help w/ that.
Slider 2 (standalone) controls first stage grid fins for a realistic first stage landing
_ The following is from gustaf's Falcon 9 on how to land the first stage _
- Shut off RCS w/ ag 10 or 0
2.slider one to 82% to close the hatch
3.Increase throttle gently - at about 15 percent fuel- throttle down and fire the stage.
recommended to pause the game and select the booster(pilot it) - trigger staging 2 times and then pres ag 2- 2 times to disable gimbal engines
6.head prograde not retrograde the capsule is inverted - upause and decend
- landing legs are (ag 2)
