    Don't think, he'll feel insulted. Taste differs - it always has been and always will. For me it was the issues of glowing outside and and the fantastatic pink plume, that fitted perfectly to another nuclear engine mod's plumes. Yes, the newer plumes are more correct physically, but it's a game: Choose what you like. You can also download the newest release and replace the nerva plume with one config from an older release. Just mix and match as you like. 

    Knight did a fantastic job creating these eye candy things ! Thank you sooo soo much!

    He did! Without him, KSP would look so much uglier! Actually, I like the Cherenkov glow a lot, I'll probably try to tweak stuff myself.

    Tip, you can turn the side panels that your using with flags into physical objects that you can place other objects on as well. Choose white or black panel (its right after transparent) Helps to make them more stable. (will have lots of drag though) 

    Yeah, the side panels are already solid, too bad I can't make the windows solid, it would be handy.

    On Knights github page (linked in the first post of this thread) , where you download the newest config. Just scroll down and pick an older release. I use the 0.5.2 release, i believe. It looks a bit more pleasing to me. With the newer releases I had engine plumes glow outside of the engine bells, which looked strange. Also I liked the pink Nerv-Plumes better, since they matched the plumes of Nertea's Kerbal Atomics engines better. 

    Ok, thanks! I don't want to insult Knight or anything, but the pink plumes looked way cooler.

    AAAAAAH, I almost missed this! :0.0: I only just saw this thread Monday!

    Would've liked to have added more details and funny things going on, but I wanted to make sure I made the deadline. 

    Wow, this is beautiful! Intercept should hire you, your style looks awesome! What program are you using?

    From page 154 of this document, the whole thing is in Russian though so that might make some things difficult. The document has all sorts of images and information which could be handy

    Hi, just found this thread. I'm Russian, so if this is still relevant, I can assist with translating a portion of the article.

    wow! the mission report looks beautiful. nice job with the tufx (i think), what's your profile for it?

    PALETTE pack, I think it's called Kerbosawa Mode. On the teaser pic it's Fox's Vintage Profiles, the profile is Apollo 8.

     

    By the way, a message for everyone interested. I'm really sorry I delayed Part 2. I kind of have to do a lot of stuff IRL right now, and I don't have any free time. I'll try to write it tomorrow, okay? This is not cancelled, don't worry, it's just on a very brief hiatus. I just need a little bit of time to sort out my IRL stuff. If this cheers you up, Part 3 is scheduled for next week! I really hope I don't have to delay again

    Would mechjeb be allowed, or is that cheating? I probably won't use it, but it would be good to know if I make some very outlandish design.

    Err,  never used it, so I have no idea about its functionality. If it just balances a craft or something like that, it's probably okay, but you, the player, still need to do the actual flying. If it flies the plane by itself, it's kinda cheaty.

    As you know, in 1.12 fireworks were added to KSP. What you might not know is that you can overclock fireworks using a KAL controller. These overpowered fireworks can be used for propulsion, if you're careful enough.
    FROM THE DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS OF THE KERBAL AEROSPACE FORCE:
    THE ORION DRIVE

    Ever since kerbals created explosives, they've wondered: can I fly with it? The question had been answered a long time ago by solid-fuel motors, but some kept thinking if there was more to it. That day, they proved there was.

    The Orion test vehicle was sitting on the launchpad, waiting for further commands. Daredevil pilot Jebediah Kerman was sitting inside. Even Jeb, the famous Kerbal With No Fear, was pondering the absurdity of this idea. A couple tons of explosives were going to be shot out of a hole at supersonic speeds, an Jeb was going to ride the shockwave. Suddenly, he heard a command from Ground Control.


    CAPTAIN KERMAN, PREPARE FOR LIFTOFF IN 3, 2, 1...

    And like that, Project Orion was born. Not with a whimper, but with a bang.

    Jeb felt the vehicle accelerate rapidly. He struggled with his breath, and his ears were ringing.
    COMMANDER KERMAN, WE HAVE LIFTOFF, I REPEAT, WE HAVE...
    BANG!

    and another one

    and another one

    Getting used to this is gonna be hard, Jeb thought.

    28 more explosions followed.

    WE HAVE REACHED 100 m/s, Mission Control stated.
    Beginning descent, Jeb replied.

    Commander Kerman parachuted to safety. While his vehicle was being recovered, his brother Gene, head of Kerbal Aerospace Forces, called him to his office.
    Great job, Jeb, he said. We've officially started the Orion Program, and the investors are impressed. We're going to need you again soon, Jeb. Do you want to continue?
    Oh boy, more explosions? Jeb replied with excitement. Count me in! I need a vacation, though, my back hurts from all the gees now.
    I knew you would be interested. We'll call you. Jeb, the Orion Rider. Has a nice ring to it, don't you think? Gene finished.

    Okay, I'm tired, I'll publish the next part later today or tomorrow, I hope. I have all the pictures ready.
    Did you like this? Any criticism, questions or recommendations? Please reply!

    Hello! I am having this problem after the update that added the new methalox and Stratzenblitz plumes. The Hydrolox and Methalox plumes can be seen not only through the engine bell, but also through other parts. I am running KSP on Mac, not Linux. Should I post it here or in the main Waterfall thread?

    Here, plumes can be seen through engine bells and the orange tank. Weirdly, this doesn't happen with the Stratz Plume, as you may notice.

    My wind rider with an extreme wing span. Jeb died shortly after the picture over the ocean was taken.

    Hi, this looks really cool, but could you please fly it again and post a picture with the HUD visible so I can see your altitude and add you to the participant list?

    I don't know if this is THE windrider, but it managed 5m and then crashed

    Great! Hey, any landing is okay if you can walk (or swim) away! small print: landing not required for participation  Feel free to claim your badge!

    Say hello to Pete!  (in-book joke) 

    Looks pretty nice! One thing -- could you use imgur instead of ibb? It allows you to post pics directly to the forum and doesn't make them awkwardly small. (You don't need registration)
