ugh, my ears are ringing Yes a lot, I think But more importantly the BDB Extras folder does have a HypergolicBDB patch (in the Pafftek) sub-directory) if you are looking for a more realistic fuel status. It isn't every fuel, but any Hypergolic fuel system is replaced with an AZ50/NTO mix. Mostly to avoid having unique fuel load combos requiring too many switches in the tank setup. That gives you 4ish fuel types in BDB, LF/O, Hydrolox, xenon, and AZ50/NTO

I Couldn't react to your post Zorg, but this looks amazing!

Ah, that old, retread of a fallacy in the making. That proposal was before Centaur-a's flight and explosion... Back when they thought you could contain the vapor pressure of the Hydrogen because you know in space there is no heat.... The latter, more-realistic proposals are Gemini Capsule +2 in series Transtages. Or, believe it or not, a duplicated Titan 2nd stage with an LR87 single bell (that was only mentioned in passing I have never found actual documents describing it better than that)

But but but.... Bwanananananananaaaa *6 Million dollar man sounds* Agreed, it would actually break the feel of the whole mod and require EVERY texture be redone.. Given your IRL work and life takes much more of your time today then it did when you were a slacker getting a degree in Uni, there is no need to waste the time. And having some things in pure "American" (sorry we don't speak English in the US... or my former work vehicle would be a Lorry not a Van, I would put the groceries in the boot instead of the trunk.) Or Russian... well it would break immersion for me.

True, But I think the original concept was for NOT THEM But rather the people who want to abuse the game (and there are a lot of people like that out there. See any cursed, not an irl concept/designed rocket for a good example **YES I AM MOSTLY JOKING HERE Dont @ Me**

See SOME of us are not just pretend Rocket Scientists! Or Rocket Engineers, Or Rocket Fabricators, Or Rocket Mechanics!

The Russians Engines are coming to take me away, Haha, they´re coming to take me away, Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha, To the happy home with Atlas' and stars And chirping birds and basket weavers Who sit and smile and Twiddle their thumbs and toes And they´re coming to take me away, HAHAAAAAAAAA *based on the 1966 song by "Napoleon XIV" Aka Jerry Samuels; They're comming to take me away! Joking aside This stuff looks Great Zorg!

Depth-masking won't work since the Door for the gear well is part of the gear. It would break the (I assume) already done annimations

Other than ONE suggestion of an additional non X-15 part to interface with part of the X-15? I think you are go for launch FULL SEND The suggested part is a 0.9375-1.25m re-sizable cone, angle matched to the X-15 nose probe, that terminates in the correct diameter for the nosecone. Would allow other rockets to use that 2 part Nose-cone / Probe core (If I am remembering the correct part you referenced.) Cone should color switch the same colors as X-15. Yes extra work but rather low hanging fruit given the plethora of other similar structures made in the past I would think.

Decidedly Saturn S-1B flyback booster territory here 8 seconds of thrust up, fly back to the runway

Ok, Need to vent (rough work day and it just started!) X-15 on an N-1 X-15 as ISS single crew Escape pod X-15 in BDA-armory as a Point defense interceptor (Shooting 20mm cannons at mach 15) X-15 as a return from Mun capsule on Apollo Saturn MLV Cluster X-15 as flyback booster for Saturn IB X-15 as X-1 carrier aircraft (Tarobee mod yes?)

Re-entry burn test... if the X-15 makes it the shuttle should as well!

WAIT WAIT WAIT WOT! LANDING GEARS! Who gave you permission to make LANDING GEARS OK Joking aside (and probably an inside joke to many people reading this now-a-days) This looks Effing AWESOME! Love the work. Now B-70 Carrier when?

I believe it is Fictional but based on real hypothetical discussions on how to increase thrust for Rocket. A road not traveled
