Removed COM Offsets #115

Closed gabevenberg closed 7 years ago

gabevenberg commented 7 years ago

some people at the forums were wondering about the COM offsets. they were causing some unbalanced tourqes. removed the problem ones.

Or did you perhaps mean for them to be on the z axis? (the offsets were on the y axis.)

Those offsets are intentional, to allow the pod to be passively stable in a lifting configuration. (They do cause a bit of trouble for docking.)

gabevenberg commented 7 years ago

ok. never seen another mod do it. Is it worth it to have for re-entry, in your opinion? (Im kinda a bad judge of it, I do too much docking/long burns and not enough passive re-entry.)

VenVen commented 7 years ago

The main reason I included the offsets was to compensate for the lack of a yaw thruster in the LES. So I'd suggest either removing the offset on the MK1 pod and keep the offset on the MK1-2, or make and balance an offset to the LES itself.

Why did Ven do this? Cause the stock model looks absurd when fired. Spinning about like a bloody fidget spinner...

@VenVen, let me see what i can do. for now, chaning it to only remove offset from the mk1.
