// conversely, if a keyword is left unassigned (as in not in the file), it will be initialized with it's default value

The AV-T1 Winglet is a winglet that helps stabilize a rocket during flight but provides no control surfaces.

Product description

This is then only part which doesn't have a description set. Prior to version 0.24 the description value was commented out. It is unknown why this is. The description in game read: "Nothing is really known about this thing. Use it at your own risk."

Trivia

  • The line for the manufacturer is commented out in the part.cfg file. It reads “Kerlington Model Rockets and Paper Products Inc.”
  • It has a nasty habit of tilting the rocket in random directions. The use of a pivoting winglet, reaction wheel or a gimballing engine is therefore recommended.
  • Some people say that this and the AV-R8 Winglet's art style is outdated and doesn't fit with the rest of the game's graphics

Changes

0.21
  • Texture changed to more of a grey color
0.7.3
  • Initial Release
