Kerbalized Rocket Technology (KRT) - Version 1.0 released!

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Kerbalized Rocket Technology

 

About

This is a little project which brings you kerbalized versions of real rocket components into the game. I want it to be accurate enough, that you can see what this is based on and how it works in real life, but this is not supposed to be a replica mod, as opposed to Launchers Pack. The main aspect of this mod will be rocket engines, but I will include some actual lauchers. Kick stages (like the Star series) will be included too, as a cheap alternative to liquid fueled upper stages. This project is still highly in development, but I think it's good enough to publish a first version.

Ow interesting, nice modeling keep going !

[Kerbal01]

Ooh, if you have the RD-170, you have all the model bits for a RD-180, turbopump is vertical tho.

[FutureMartian97]

These look great Kart! 

[VenomousRequiem]

Oh! Will you take suggestions for new engines, too? 

Keep up the good work!

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Yes sure! Though I'll first work through my list of engines I need to have in this pack, but you can always ask for an engine for me todo.

[Superfreak784]

THis is awesome. I have wanted a mod version of the Merlin 1d forever

 

[NecroBones]

Looks great!

[VenomousRequiem]

What about an RD-0146? Very unique! Also is the first Russian engine to ever include an extendable nozzle! (if they so choose, like how it's applied on the new Angara upper stage.)

[_Augustus_]

Looks good so far, but you should have a cluster of Merlin engines so we can make a Falcon 9.

Also, RD-0146 and RD-191 would be good.

I'll put it on my list.

Why should I make a cluster of Merlins? I mean, you literally stick 9 engines on the bottom of a 2.5m fuel tank and that's it. I could make a kinda octaweb, but there's no sense in making a completely new part, only for a cluster I think.

Any chance of getting a Vulcain 2 engine for a Ariane 5 ?

Big chance...

It's on my wishlist for this mod anyway.

yup, i have this one too.

marmoset rendering.

[Kartoffelkuchen]

@DennyTX Wow, that looks great! Always admire you for your skills.

Well, I have to see if I'll still make that engine then, you did a pretty good job there I think.

Yes! We'd just need a RD-0124 and we'd have a whole Angara! Plus those engines would be hella to have in a stock-alike feel...

Ow... My heart... I'm conflicted between staying with my girlfriend or marrying you.

Kidding, of course, but good god that's pretty!

[Tristonwilson12]

yup, i would like, if it looks better than mine. I have collection of NK engines for my old N1-L3 project. (6.5k polys)

PLEASEEEEEEEEE Do an M-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

M-1 was simply awesome! Almost same thrust as the F-1 but HOL/LH2 powerewd

[Noah_Blade]

Can't wait for a full release 

[eirinym]

Oh man, KK, your models look really nice. I've really been looking for something like this.

I was wondering if you could make some cowlings for engines, something like these:

RD-180 on Atlas V:

RD-171 on Zenit:

Yeah, I can do so. It would be quite helpful for people to properly attach the engines under the fuel tanks, without it looking strange. Good idea. I guess for the Merlin's, I can just take the one from Launchers Pack (I'll need to do some adjustments), since I've already got the F9 Octaweb and F9 1.0 engine section.

 

@MajorLeaugeRocketScience I'll put it on my list.

[Kartoffelkuchen]

I finished the AJ-10-118K:

 

(only Unity screenshot, I can't upload the KSP screenshot to imgur for some reason... :/ )

[DiscoSlelge]

I like this engine, what's next ?

I will try to make a proper Vulcain 1/2, though there are a *few* pipes too much for my liking, which makes it a bit harder to figure out how the important pipes should look like. 

 

And I don't know what'll come after that, depends on what I want to do. ^^
