New Part: Radial Booster Decoupler
shadowmage45 opened this issue ยท 0 comments
Features:
- Has scalable and movable geometry to form a surround ring for the booster
- Has included SRB-based jettison motors.
- Can move thrust transforms for the jettison motors along with the visible model; hopefully to allow positioning into realistic positions for the jettison motors.
- Will investigate possibility to custom reinforce the joint.
- Can adjust amount of jettison fuel / force in the VAB (Need to find a good way to do this, currently it is just the stock force, thrust, and fuel sliders).
- Everything triggered as one action through staging - no special functions to learn. Use it just like any other radial decoupler.
- Works properly with MJ/KER dV calc, and for MJ auto-staging
Progress:
- Basic plugin code is complete and seems to be working good during initial testing.
- Need to find best placement and orientation of thrust transforms -- should probably move them off to the sides of the decoupler
- Should probably make geometry to represent the ejection motors?
- Basic geometry for ring-style mount is finished, needs UV/AO/Tex - will likely use simple diffuse only, though may want spec/norm.
