<waerloga>
cooling jacket over almost all the parts of the rocket?
<Rokker>
waerloga: its a bit hard to figure out, but afaict its off a corporal rocket
<waerloga>
well, the name plate might have helped :P
<waerloga>
and naturally a banana for scale
<Rokker>
waerloga: not my picture
<Rokker>
I watched the video that showed the nameplate but it has conflicting and confusing info
<waerloga>
ah
<Rokker>
waerloga: so as far as i can tell, it's either
<Rokker>
fucking rain
<waerloga>
indeed
<Rokker>
waerloga: so it looks like it's an engine from the wac corporals used on the bumpers
<Rokker>
and it might be a piece taken directly off a bumper
<waerloga>
just odd seeing the cooling spiral that high up?
<Rokker>
but I'm not sure
<Rokker>
waerloga: if it is a used one, it's off of the record setting Bumper 5
<Rokker>
waerloga: and if I had to bet on the spiraling, they just hadn't figured out great cooling yet
JeeF has joined #RO
<waerloga>
makes sense
<waerloga>
it'd keep the combustion chamber cool too
<JeeF>
Hey guys, quick question, which is the mod that adds the Aerobee to RO?
<Rokker>
kek, I always assumed it was stock
<Rokker>
idk*
<JeeF>
I've added all the dependencies for RO (new install) and I can see all the starting parts I normally do for career (RP-0), I just don't see the Aerobee.
<JeeF>
I had this issue once before long ago, can't remember what I did to fix it
<Rokker>
JeeF: gimme a moment to double check since no competent people are answering
<JeeF>
Really thought it would be "Taerobee", but I have that added
<JeeF>
It's working fine (Taerobee) cos I can see the Tiny Tim in the part list
<Rokker>
JeeF: should be stock
<JeeF>
I've just found an Aerobee, in the non-rp0 list, but looks nothing like the old one I'm used to
<Rokker>
JeeF: version?
<JeeF>
New build for 1.2.2
<JeeF>
Followed everything to the letter
<Rokker>
SirKeplan: any ideas?
<JeeF>
All the dev builds
<JeeF>
One other question, that I always forgot to ask before, but now I'm buildng the first sounding rocket I saw again, might as well ask: Why the heck are all the fuel tanks always configured to use only 86% total capacity?
<SirKeplan>
Not yet, it should be there without any mod requirments
<JeeF>
If there's a historical/realistic reason behind it, Id love to hear
<Rokker>
JeeF: iirc that's like the average volume difference between the tanks and the skin or something like that
<SirKeplan>
JeeF: as i understand it's for realism to approximate a realistic amount in a tank, taking into account things like curved tank caps.
<JeeF>
I see
<JeeF>
ty =)
<SirKeplan>
and it's sometimes useful for getting a precise volume in when copying real rockets
<SirKeplan>
JeeF: so you have RP-0 installed do you?
<SirKeplan>
or just RO?
<waerloga>
iirc, the aerobee engine is part of SXT or...
<waerloga>
the other one
<SirKeplan>
oh, you said there is an aerobee but it looks different, that would be SXT you need to install
<SirKeplan>
JeeF: ^
leudaimon has joined #RO
<SirKeplan>
JeeF: woops, i means VenStockRevamp
<waerloga>
ah that's the one
<waerloga>
I coudln't remember
<waerloga>
both muck with stock a bit
<waerloga>
or borrow 'stock'
<SirKeplan>
yeah i mix those two up all the time :P
<JeeF>
RSS+RO+RP-0
<JeeF>
Launched my first sounding rocket. It went up fine, but there's no flame or plume coming out of the engine
<JeeF>
zero effects
<JeeF>
SXT Continued is installed
<JeeF>
hmm... I just realized Real Plume is not installed... I could swear I did
<JeeF>
My bad
<SirKeplan>
yeah that could be an issue for that :P
<JeeF>
So just by installing TweakScale I can screw up parts, regardless of me rescaling them or not in the VAB, cos of the patch that is applied to that part when starting the game, correct?
<JeeF>
I do like having TS installed for the eventual need to fine-tune the size of a fin or a solar panel
<JeeF>
But I've heard many times that it doesn't play well with RO
<JeeF>
That was ages ago. Still true?
<ale260382>
RO deactivates of modifies TS configuration for many parts
<JeeF>
Interesting... so they do work together now
<ale260382>
but i think it'll be no problem with a fin, panel, tank or any other structural part
<JeeF>
I never did resize engines, but for certain things like girders or fins or batteries (before procedural ones) it was really necessary
