No problem.

<ahem> All Japanese derivatives* of the Delta rocket flew with Castor-2 (TX-354-3) strap-on motors from 1975 to 1992. H-I The H-I, along with its predecessor, the N-II, have enjoyed a 100% success record. This is the H-I's second stage. It doesn't use any hypergolic fuels at all. The H-I can also fly with an optional 3rd stage solid motor, a Nissan UM-129A. The H-I flies with either 6 or 9 strap-on boosters. H-II The H-II flew with 2 small SSBs** (the small solid rocket seen between the two larger SRBs) only once—in 1995, on the H-II's 3rd flight (H-II 003/3F). They ignited once the rocket cleared the pad. The H-II is also capable of launching dual-payload missions in a manner similar to that of its successor, the H-IIA. H-IIA At any time the H-IIA flies with 2 SSB pairs (H2A-2024). the first pair would ignite at T+10 seconds, and the second one would ignite in flight after the first pair shuts down. The SRB-A's*** jettisoned alongside SSB pair 1, while SSB pair 2 pushed the rocket onward. Once they've done their job, the second pair of SSBs would then separate, like in this video. On the other hand, it it flies with only one SSB pair (H2A-2022), then that SSB pair would ignite after the rocket has cleared the tower. After SRB-A burnout, the SSB pair would jettison, along with the two SRB-A's. The H-IIA can fly with 1 (H2A-202) or 2 (H2A-204) pairs of SRB-A strap-on boosters. Speaking of SRB-A, here's an explanation of the SRB-A separation. Much like its predecessor, the H-IIA can fly with 2 satellites as well, by utilizing a dual satellite system, which includes upper and lower fairing sections (middle two fairings in the below picture). Notes: -The H-IIA doesn't fly with SSBs anymore. -In the fairing configurations above, S stands for single (payload), and D stands for dual (payload). -5S-H is for the H-IIB. -Also, a configuration similar to the 5/4D fairing shown above only flew once (H-II Flight No. 3), and so far, not on any H-IIA rocket. *N-I, N-II, and H-I. *SSB: solid strap-on booster, aka solid sub booster (latter according to Gunter Krebs). **SRB-A: Solid Rocket Booster, Advanced.

The second one, it is.

Nope. The only upper stages that flew on Titan IV were IUS and Centaur.

True. I agree. I don't really know any other viable tip than to just stick with procedural fairings All joking aside, I, too, would appreciate tips to improve the stock fairing system other than just a clamshell mod. Also, I just learned that the Titan II(23)G has a tri-sector fairing... brb fixing my Titan 23G

Good. I only mentioned H-II in my last post because in my KSP recreation of said rocket, I used a 2.5m stock fairing base that turned out to be a TRI-sector fairing, not the bisector kind that the real thing used. On a side note, here are 4 more reasons why I suggested the Titan IVB SRMU:

Stock fairings... three parts... That reminds me... *opens KSP to replace stock fairings on H-II rocket with procedural fairings*

All I can say for Titan IV is that it uses a tri-sector fairing. As for Titan II, I'd like to see one based on the Titan 2(23)G. Titan I will be interesting, imho. One last thing about the fairing bases that I'd love to see: TweakScale support. As I mentioned earlier, stock fairing bases lack TweakScale support. It's called Untitaned Space Craft.

For reference, here's this video (albeit about Titan 34D).

You sure did

Titan IVB airborne again, but this time, it's flying on TWIN TAILS of FLAME! Courtesy of @VenomousRequiem's tastiest of eye candy: the new RealPlume configs! (see above post) Adjusting effects with SmokeScreen (which RealPlume depends on) makes the SRMU separation look much better. gotta love SmokeScreen.

The stock fairing module lacks TweakScale support... that is, unless if I edit the config (like what I temporarily did with the .cfgs of some of your Titan parts in my copy of the BDB dev release, that being before the SRMs came). But I just remembered one problem with my TweakScale question as far as fairing bases are concerned... I rarely use stock fairings, otherwise, my (Atlas-)Centaur insulation panel thing and Titan IV tri-sector fairing would've been impossible (almost for the latter). I much prefer PFairings to the stock ones as well (even if I have to enable Non-Strict Part Attachment Orientation Checks every time I work with the Procedural Fairings Textures). I also prefer PWings to stock wings as well.

Our efforts really paid off in Titan SRM series development. It was a great stream last night... and a long one in that; the longest I've ever stayed in a livestream.

Titan fairing bases... will they have TweakScale support, too?

I would call this a Titan IVB, but not just any Titan IVB... Titan IVBDB Made as an interim vehicle, transitioning from NovaPunch solids to BDB SRMUs. The core vehicle was scaled down from 2.5m to 1.875m in order for its diameter to match with the BDB SRMUs. The following pictures are from a test flight carrying a 20.87t dummy into a 200km, equatorial orbit.

I'm ok with that. Also, what's wrong with the Atlas V textures?

That must be why the folder "DMagicScienceAnimate" exists next to the BDB folder. ...and as always, to me, BDB has its uses not just in American rocketry, but on other rockets as well. ...say, Ariane, and in this case, Ariane 3:

That must explain the rocket explosions anomalies that happen about 95% of the time in KSP

Technological and temporal paradox, I suppose?

I see some solid progress going on with Titan. However, there's just only one suggestion I'm going to make regarding Titan: decoupler cosmetics. Another Titan II decoupler, same model, but only a repaint; a purely grey-ish scheme similar to the one found on Titan 23G (pictured below), as well as on later Titans. ...as well as another copy of the same decoupler model, but with a white texture for Titan IVB.

All Titans after the Titan I had them. In other words, Titans II to IV.

If I remember correctly, you need SmokeScreen in order for RP to work. I don't know why, but you need it.

Do you have SmokeScreen installed?

"Bla bla bla" ...hmmmmmm, okay. <gives thumbs up>
