Author Topic: New Turbopacks? (Read 2790 times)

So I decided to look into the Turbopack config file, I changed the mesh in the config to the default Atlantis SRB, went into
Orbiter, injected with the scenario editor, and guess what? It worked!

Although there were of course problems with the scale (it was almost as larges as a DGIV!), I could still pick it up and fly.

Also, it didn't replace the stock Turbopack, which is a big plus.

So this discovery adds new possibilities for custom Turbopacks, like maybe a Buck Rogers-type rocket pack. I'm not sure if it
would be possible, but maybe this could be implemented into a moon rover type of thing.

Or even the traditional NASA MMU

I bet that was pretty funny looking....Flying around with an SRB strapped to your back!

And I bet you want proof, well, proof, has been proofified. (Did that sentence make any sense?)

Note that that isn't the default SRB mesh, it's the one from the Napkin.

Ah, so that's why... Mine was a bit bigger. The ummu fitted inside the whole thing.
Was a funny sight though when the parachute was released... A big booster with a
iny tiny parachute attached to it

That looks like a space experiment gone terribly wrong! Sort of reminds me of when we had the first DGIV beta and
you could grapple the entire DGIV on your back.....Good times!!!!!

Looks like the perfect ad for range rules.

this time.." (Limbs fall apart from torso)

I think Wile E. Coyote has already tried this guys!

Bag of bird seed: $5
Highway paint (for painting an X on the ground): $40
Solid Rocket Booster with optional MMU adapter: ~$2,000,000,000 (rough est.)

Watching Wile E. Coyote (Super Genius) slam into the earth at 7,000 mph while chasing the road runner: Priceless.
