The TT18-A Launch Stability Enhancer is a stability clamp system designed to hold the ship at the launch pad before lift-off.
As of バージョン 0.19.1 the staging sequence lists the TT18-A as a strut item and not a decoupler. Given the reduced number of parts shown in the staging display post 0.18, this may be a feature.
Usage
The launch clamps prevent unbalanced craft from falling over, and heavy designs from crushing themselves when they first load onto the launchpad.
When using the TT18-A, keep in mind that it must be decoupled to allow lift off. When the rocket is very powerful, engaging the engines without decoupling can lead to a grand catastrophic failure because it tears the structure apart. A simple solution is to release them in the same stage with the main engines. This way they will release the same moment the engines engage, resulting in a satisfying “clunk” sound as your ascent begins, and a hopefully intact craft. Some smaller rockets, like the Kerbal X, can safely have the engines in a stage before the TT18-A as the thrust is not enough to tear it apart.
It is always a good idea to activate SAS before launch, as the TT18 decoupler may occasionally push a rocket off vertical and lead to a failed launch.
Jet powered first stages, as they need to spin up, should be decoupled as soon as they are running at full throttle. If other rocket engines on that stage are used as well, the staging should:
- Start the jet engines,
- Decouple the stability enhancers and start the rocket engines.
If there are TT18-A left from the previous launch they will be removed prior to placing a new craft there. While in previous versions[specify] it was needed to be confirmed, this is not required anymore.
ゲーム内の説明
| 「 | TT18-A安定性強化装置は革新的な固定方法により打ち上げ前の宇宙ロケットの安定性をかなり向上させます。OMBデモリッション社は自社の製品の説明文で「ロケット支柱の聞こえのいい呼び方にすぎない」とこき下ろしましたが、TT18シリーズが広告通りの盤石の固定力を発揮しないなどとは誰も認めていません。オーナーズマニュアルによると、最適に分離するためには支柱をロケットの最下部に設置し、エンジン点火するやいなや切り離すことが強く推奨されています。 | 」 |
変更点
- 接続中は1E/sで充電されるようになった。
