Thing is, the Saturn V engines exist in Kerbal as 5m part (the whole scaling thing as NecroBones pointed out). 7.75m stuff would start touching into the "not in existence" would it not? (My rocketry knowledge = 0) Sweet ! lol I am going to go listen to those now

Just pointing out that Delta II boosters were 1.00 and 1.20 meter parts. Unless you were thinking of a scaled down version? @NecroBones i know you've played around with KW Rocketry for a bit: -The one meter Globe V series -The half meter Globe I

Ah thanks! Thought it might be something like that. Had not flown with the Stock Nuke yet

Similar question about the Quad: It no longer consumes Oxidizer? As I type this i realise i need to get v1.6.2, but is this "normal"? =P

Ah, okay then =) I'm just running through career and 3.75m is quite a bit later but i'm still staging the M1 vertically with the Stock LFB KR-1x2 below it until I unlock some 3.75m parts. I don't think i'll ever use the M1 to push 3.75m stages after a 5m launch though, so there's that too... (I'd put the R1 instead, then) but don't go by 1 person's use of it lol But as a note, even though the slants are good, i usually put a same-size decoupler followed by an adapter, rather than using the slanted shrouds. So typical build for me would be: 2.5 fuel > 2.5 engine > 2.5 decoupler > 2.5 - 3.75m fuel tank > 3.75m tank > 3.75 engine > 3.75 decoupler > 3.75-5m tank, etc For an engine like the M1 "moa", i think that a "standard node" of 2.5 >2.5 shroud with the "extra node" of 2.5 > 3.75 would suffice. Same for any engine really: a straight node and a slanted node to the "next level" If anything else is needed, the Interstage adapters can be used instead Finally, i would keep this as a "when 1.0.3 comes out and breaks SpaceY again". To Do list, if you want, as the mod as it is works just fine (i'll just work around the shrouds for now) as it is, and i don't think this needs to be changed for now Thanks for considering it though! Great work as always!

Hi Necro, was not sure where to get you but i did not get a reddit reply I'm probably being a noob here, but i'm trying to stage below an M1 "Moa" engine with a 2.5m decoupler: The shroud is always slanted (2.5m>3.75m if top node, 3.75m>5m bottom node) Is this normal? Can i make it "Straight"?

And back to Space I Go ! =P I know that for a lot of perfectionists + or - 1m/s might be an issue, but to me, that's just adding another parachute on the craft... As such, not an issue at all. Great Update! And now i have RealChutes too!

That sounds quite positive! Although after having swapped to SpaceY, the only 2 things i miss from KW are the fairings, they were pretty nifty, and the sounds recorded for the Griffon Century. NecroBones, i think you use stock sounds right? But that would be one point of exploration (engine sounds) Apart from those 2, i much prefer the SRBs in this pack, as well as the Separatron-Couplers (those are just genius) and the "Real" docking ports, so i might end up adding KW if it gets updated, but SpaceY will always come first for me lol

Okay, so a quick update as i got my last post wrong: It seems that "Destroyed" stages work as they should with RealChutes, but "Recovered" Stages don't even show up... So the current situation having tested with and without RC: (This is all for "unfocused stages" leaving 22.5km) -Stock model with "loads" of chutes is reported as "Destroyed", with speeds of 100m/s, which is what you would get without chutes. Although SR estimates the parts at 3m/s. -RealChutes mod installed, the same parts will be reported as "Destroyed", with speeds of 13m/s, which lead me to think that installing RealChutes fixed the issue, but -RealChutes mod installed, parts which should then be marked as "Recovered" (because i added more chutes to the very same part mentioned above) simply disappear, as if SR was not installed and stock deleted the part at height. Hope this helps for info... - - - Updated - - - Because of the very recent 1.0.1-2 Update of Kerbal Space Program. If you read the mod creator's post a page back, he has already said he will look into this issue, but give him at least 48 hours after a new update of the game. Simple developer courtesy

Yeah, i don't think they changed much, but it was called out so i found it quite funny that it actually came out within a few minutes of that post =P

Aaaaaannn 1.0.2 is out, lol

Always wanted to get RealChutes but never got around to it. I will get that now and confirm that it corrects the issue. As i said just 2 posts above, Squad have made some modifications to Parachutes, which most likely is the source of issue here. From the 1.0.1 change-log: Parachute heating/burning. Added an option to clamp the lower bound of the deploy pressure of parachutes. Adjusted parachutes to open at a slightly higher atmospheric pressure. As always, thank you for the good work on one of my only "can't ever do without" mods =P - - - Updated - - - I can confirm: Just added RealChutes and the exact same vessel no longer has any issues with recovery of stages. And now i can also enjoy RealChutes

Amazing work, as always. Fast, responsive, reliable.... I just wish i had something to moan about in order to be able to post on here, but my only one was "MRS is too crowded" and then you put up a Lite version.... So no complaints left. lol I WILL come back with something =P

I will echo this, it seems the 1.0.1 Update, which has tweaked parachutes, has now "disabled" parachutes for SR. The mod no longer seems to recognize parachutes. - - - Updated - - - Do you use powered recovery? Or other chutes than the Radial parachutes? The issue might be linked to Radial-mounted parachutes only?

Ah perfect! Thanks for the info, i simply never used DR before it was "forced upon me" in 1.0. Stock V Mods compatibility meant i picked only a bunch and DR was not "crucial". 3km/s with heatshield and 2km/s without seems ideal, especially in a SR situation (not much more is needed, otherwise you would be in direct control of the Ship).
