SSTU RCS and MUS, plus stock RCS block

shadowmage45 commented 7 years ago

For the MUS -- I've intentionally left it using MonoPropellant, so as to simulate/emulate the cold-gas thrusters that are often used on those types of stages.

Although it might be a good idea to allow for changing of the RCS propellant. Sadly it would need to be a bit more complex/complete than what is currently available -- will need to add some specialized code to allow for changing both the internal storage -and- the RCS module fuel type at the same time (currently cannot be done by existing plugin code).

For the other RCS blocks (stand-alone SSTU and Stock) -- I'll very shortly be adding a patch that will convert them to use the SSTUModularRCS module. From there they will support both fuel type selection and scaling. I think someone actually posted a conversion patch on the forums over the weekend that does exactly this.

NP, I just saw some people asking for it. I use this for my own gameplay so posted it to do with as you like ;) Mode switching would be awesome ofcourse and this is just an intermediate.

Yeah, no worries.

If you would like, you could add the SSTUModularRCS module to the rest of the SSTU RCS Blocks (and stock?), and possibly play with it on the CM's/SM's (swap the MODEL nodes for a 'model-none' setup). They won't have the stand-off/structure changing capabilities, but it should add in the capability to swap the RCS propellants.
