Project Atlas ICBM development

[Star Voyager]

Good morning gentlemen,
For Mr. MJR, I'm sorry you are having a bit of trouble. Perhaps we could get a hold of Mr. Robert Conley. I left a post a while back, but there was never a response.

 

[MJR]

Im going to try and make a cube and morph it to look like a triangle and see if I can do that.

 

[Star Voyager]

Good morning gentlemen,
For Mr. MJR, that sounds like a good plan. By the way, in case you are wondering, Mr. Astrrosammy's Site 11 Willow base is turning out fine.

 

[Star Voyager]

Good morning gentlemen,
For Mr. MJR, I was wondering if you are far enough in development to post a beta ICBM. I was hoping to test it at the Cape Canaveral Atlas pads (LC-11, LC-12, etc.), then possibly use the Mercury Atlas attachment points and test it at Site 11. I hope this isn't a problem for you.

 

[MJR]

Is this good for the beta? I haven't had much time to put details in that is why it looks like this.

 

[MJR]

I will be releasing the beta in a short moment.

 

[Star Voyager]

Good morning gentlemen,
For Mr. MJR, I will accept the beta as is. It looks good for beta:speakcool:. Thank you for the update. I look forward to flying it and the finished product.

 

[MJR]

Pardon for the minor mishaps near the warhead. I have not made the actual warhead yet, but I can get that finished soon.

 

[astrosammy]

Nice! I'll do some testing with my base tomorrow.

 

[MJR]

I am debating whether to upload the betas here or on Orbit Hangar. Which should I choose?

 

[astrosammy]

It thinks it's better to do it here, and keep OH clear of unfinished add-ons.

And I just tried it, the mesh looks nice, but it's a bit to big, and you should make it a multistage vessel, so I can make a guidance. And it's possible to use it with my elevator.

 

[MJR]

Is the warhead ok as is for the beta? I can definitly make it smaller. How tall is the actual tower for the pad? I can scale it off of that.

 

[Star Voyager]

Good morning gentlemen,
For Mr. MJR, the Atlas is coming around nicely. But there are a few minor issues. Here is what the ICBM looks like on LC-11:

View attachment 2755

Is there a way to shrink this from the config? And also, the bottom width is smaller than the main booster. Which reminds me, will you be adding vernier engines?

 

[MJR]

I have to edit the mesh. Wait one second please. My ship edit is not working so I cannot rotate the ship upright until it is fixed.

 

[astrosammy]

The warhead is OK.
The diameter of the rocket should be 3.05m.

 

[MJR]

It would be easier for me to use the launch pads. Give me the link so I can test it out.

 

[Star Voyager]

Godd morning gentlemen,
For Mr. MJR, if you are having a bit of trouble, here is a link to some info on the Atlas F:

I hope this will help you edit the mesh. By the way, which pad? Mr. Astrosammy's or the Cape Canaveral pads?

 

[MJR]

How big is the rocket's diamter now? I thought that Anim8or scales each box to about 1 meter in Orbiter, but apparently not.

 

[astrosammy]

I don't know how big it is now, but I can scale it for you tomorrow if you want.

 

[MJR]

Sure. Right now it seems really small, but I guess that is how it should be. Let me edit the position of the exhaust real quick and I will upload the mesh and configuration file here.
