[Request/Balancing]: Change the Level 1 SPH Length Restriction to 9.0m, and the Height to 6.0m

[MystLeissa]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Allow Level 1 SPH to build planes. (I think you accidentally copied the height/length restrictions from the VAB, so it reads 9.0 Height and 6.0 Length - which is nearly impossible to construct a plane in (The Tails required for stability come to 6m on their own, not including other parts.)

Proposed technical implementation details

Simple Swap of Height and Length Values.

Thank you. Kindly read contributiing.md, code_of_conduct.md and styleguide.md. These are boilerplate.

sheepish grin I don't have all that much experience with the runway except crashing into it.

Thank you @MystLeissa

just level 1? or

Sizes for the launchpad are easy - L x W x H

so you are suggesting size = 9,6,6 - I have no issues with that - once I remember which is what, will swap them all)

are you willing to do the testing once I have an updated config for you to try?

			size = 15, 18, 15
			size = 20, 36, 23
			size = 30, 72, 28
			size = 45, 80, 33
			size = 75, 100, 38
			size = 100, 120, 45
			size = 125, 140, 49
			size = 150, 160, 54
			size = -1, -1, -1```

research:

Stock default for both Runway and Launchpad is

		craftSizeLimit
		{
			size = 15, 20, 15
			size = 28, 36, 28
			size = -1, -1, -1
		}

now that we can correlate which slot in the array goes to which dimension

How's this @MystLeissa ? 👁️‍🗨️ 🔍

		craftSizeLimit
		{
			// width, height, length
			size = 6, 6, 9
			size = 15, 15, 18
			size = 20, 23, 36
			size = 30, 28, 72
			size = 45, 33, 80
			size = 75, 38, 100
			size = 100, 45, 120
			size = 125, 49, 140
			size = 150, 54, 160
			size = -1, -1, -1

looks like need to swap the launchpad as well:

@MystLeissa Would you kindly try this and see if it corrects this issue for you? Of course, please tell me here. Thank you!

Place it here <KSP_ROOT>/GameData/KGEx/Komplexity/Configs/
Runway.zip

here is the updated wiki page:

Downloading the Test Patch now - I'll let you know in about 5 minutes.

Edit: I don't have KGEx Folder so I'm assuming it goes in the GameData/Komplexity/Patches Folder.

[MystLeissa]

Ok So I have a little more feedback: Assuming your using a modified Fighter Design (Which I'm using Firespitter, which in general is SMALLER than the Vanilla Jets, but tends to have more parts), A Flyable Plane, needs ~0.5m extra on the width (for wingspan), beyond that it fixed the problem. For Reference I have included a picture of the plane I am attempting to use as a "Bare Minimal":

[MystLeissa]

ok I solved the problem by changing the Array's First Level to 7w instead of the 6w you had, so I think that should work. I manually install so that's probably why the KGEx Folder didn't matter (plus my last update was prerelease so it's been some time), but yeah I think that's got it. it's not a perfect match for the launchpad, but then it doesn't need to be in my honest opinion, Planes are very different shapes from rockets.

[zer0Kerbal]

excellent. been ruminating over the numbers - and they go up way to fast imho.

[zer0Kerbal]

proposed:

			// wingspan(width), height, length
			size = 7, 6, 9
			size = 12, 12, 18
			size = 17, 17, 24
			size = 25, 24, 30
			size = 36, 31, 50
			size = 48, 39, 76
			size = 61, 48, 111
			size = 75, 68, 124
			size = 90, 88, 149
			size = -1, -1, -1

currently

// wingspan(width), height, length
			size = 6, 6, 9
			size = 12, 12, 18
			size = 24, 24, 36
			size = 48, 48, 72
			size = 72, 72, 100
			size = 96, 96, 120
			size = 100, 100, 130
			size = 125, 125, 140
			size = 150, 150, 172
			size = -1, -1, -1

@MystLeissa thank you - here is an updated version. Kindly, same thing.
