This is the first update to my SpaceX Falcon 9.

  • In this version I made it so the fins (which are not yet grid fins, but I'm working on it) will now pitch and yaw the vehicle, as of now since they're flat, they don't create as much drag as the grid fins on the real one, but soon I will make them grid fins (or not)
  • I also finally figured out how to paint parts, so it's a bit better looking now.
  • to set the fins to their launch position you need to activate them with the activation group 2, then using slider 1 you set it to 100%. After that you can deactivate the activation group, since this also activates the yaw and pitch on the fins.
  • after deactivated, you should set it back to 0%, this way when you reactivate the fins, they'll deploy and start the pitch and yaw movement.
  • I made it so the movement of the fins will be automatic with your navball, just set the angle and they'll try their best to get there.
  • Activation group 1 will deploy the landing legs (which are also set to stage 2).
  • Activation 3 will turn on and off the 8 engines around the middle engine.
  • and activation 10 is the rcs.

I know it's complicated but this is the simplest way I could make it, I'm looking for a more simple way to next updates.

Enjoy!

EDIT: I'm working on the second stage as well, still very early, but it might be good to go in a few days
