    I've stopped and started working on them several times. Can you PM me with a list of what you have? Getting it put together for at least the crewed parts (not all the solar panels) should be doable. I have the Apollo more or less done, and the capsule walls are reflective as well!

    This far I only have a few simple ones of them, like the Apollo CSM and Skylab, that I use regularly in my current savegame. I will try to make a bit more for the important parts and give you a note as soon as I got more!

  2. Hey guys,

    I'm currently reading a lot about the less famous NASA missions, and I've come to a very specific question, that I could not find any precise information on. My question is regarding the second stage of the modified Saturn V rocket, used to launch Skylab into space in 1973. As far as I know, the modified Saturn V actually consisted of the normal first and second stage, with the third stage being replaced by Skylab itself.

    In case of the "normal" Saturn V, the first and the second stage would usually crash down into the ocean, while the third stage - which carried the instrument unit - could be steered into another directory after the CSM/LM where separated from it.

    On Skylab however, I can't see, how the second stage would be removed from orbit, after placing Skylab in its orbit and being separated. It does not seem, like the second stage featured the necessary instrumental equipment or the means of RCS necessary. Does this mean, that the second stage was just moved away from Skylab a bit at separation with solid boosters, but left in an orbit slightly different than Skylabs orbit?

    I hope someone here can provide an answer... Thanks!

    Regards, Malz

  3. Thank you very much for this awesome mod Frizzank, definitely one of the most detailed and most extensive part mods out here - and very nostalgic if played together with RSS-RP0 :D . I'm absolutely sure that Nathan is the right choice!

  4. Allright, looks like they really just missed a rescale. Added one in the same factor like Agena-Module in the RO-FASA configs, and now I can finally use them ;)

    Doesn't look exactly like it does on the FASA screenshots, but it's still looking better then most of my normal RO-rockets, yay!

  5. IIRC, the Agena's engine has its own fairing when a decoupled is placed below it. Then if you add two of the FASA fairings stacked on top of each other to the nodes on the service section, they should cover it. This is the non-RO version, so I don't know if the RO co figs remove that white short fairing piece I'm referring to

    Mh... Then I probably already found the right FASA-fairing, but it seems to be a bit too small... If RO tweaks FASA-parts then this really could be an RO-problem in the end.

    Edit: uh, the FASA parts seem to be rescaled by RO, should have thought about that earlier. Maybe they just forgot to rescale the fairings aswell...

  6. 2. Use a procedural interstage, it's what it's for. :)

    It's not really a RSS or RO problem, I just thought I would not have to use procedural fairings for that. Most FASA parts seem to have their own fitting fairings, and the Agena Service Module even features the attachement points for them, but there are simply no fitting fairings :/ .

    The patchnotes say, that all but the Agena ones were removed, but I simply can't find those. The only ones that I can find are a bit too small. It seems as if there are no fairings in the current release, to build the Agena like on the FASA release thread screenshots (imgur.com/a/IZCZv#qYo9qiy)

  7. Until now I always found an easy answer to all my KSP questions on the internet, but now I finally had to register ;)

    After playing a lot of RSS+RP-0 recently, I wanted to make a NASA-like playthrough with FASA. I'm just started to replicate the Atlas-Agena, but I'm stuck on the connection between the Agena-Stage and the Atlas-Stage. If there is a specific decoupler for it, I can't find it (this one I could use a procedural one for anyway. But what I'm really in need of are fairings, to hide the service part of the Agena-Stage under. I can't find any fairings in the current FASA build, that are fitting. First I thought they were just missing in the RP-0 techtree, but I can't find them in sandbox either.

    Are there fitting fairings for the Agena-Stage coming with the mod?
