Small issues with the camera part (mass, texture) #661

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Would it be possible to change the camera's mass in one of the next updates?

It's certainly not a pressing issue, but according to KIS (and eyesight), the external camera has a volume of about 1750 cm³, or just under 2 litres, yet it has a mass of 40 kg - about the density of solid platinum. It's enough to significantly shift the centre of mass on smaller vessels. My guess would be it's off by a factor of ten.

Also I seem to remember that the camera texture once had an indicator (blue line on top?) helping with orienting it right-side-up; that seems to have gone missing. If I mis-remembered, then I'd make this a feature request instead.

TIA

The mass is a trivial fix, and I'll include it in the next update. The texture has not been updated since Mihara made it, as far as I know, I took a look at the texture, and there didn't appear to be any intentional stripes added to it. If I have some spare time, I can look into tweaking it, but no guarantee on that.

This is fixed, and it'll be in the RPM update (whenever I get around to releasing one :( )
