Request: Four Nozzle version

  • specs:
    • ?
    • will require another model to be created.
      • need SSME3.mu (new)
commented

Well, couldn't we grab the existing Vector Model and slap it into the middle of the existing part?

commented

hmm.. maybe but that would look, less than ideal. Ideally just just compute the location of the them using geometry, and I might be able to hack the model using secret 🥷 -fu to get the internal changes needed.

Do it right the first time so don't have to do it again. :)

try this @AtomikkuSan - it should (75%) work - just need to add the code to add it.
SSME3.zip

I think it'd be rather easy seeing as we have the positions of the existing three via the MODEL{} lines.

So what exactly does the model have?
(I don't have access to KSP or a model viewer at the moment.)

@AtomikkuSan

if the part remains the same size - then here are the locations (should be close)

  • Three Nozzle
    • 0.0, -0.1, -1.1
    • 0.95263, -0.1, 0.55
    • -0.95263, -0.1, 0.55
  • Four Nozzle
    • 0.95263, -0.1, 0.55
    • -0.95263, -0.1, 0.55
    • 0.95263, -0.1, -1.1
