I'm not experiencing that problem. Huh.

Also, 100th post here guys.

Because our builds are different. I will find a way round it I'm sure.

Yeah, probably. I'm keeping with a Skipper, but I'm thinking of offsetting it so it looks more real. Eh.

Anyway, still haven't added RCS to the Orion...

I went for a skipper too. And do you mean sink it into the orange tank? If so, hell yes, I do that as habit now!

I also used a Skipper, it's my favorite engine! I classed it up a little with my standard trick, though.

Yep. I'm gonna see what else I can add.

Has anyone put a fairing over their command module? I have a working one but I cant deploy the chutes on the pod because it says they are stowed..

I tried, but it did weird wobbly things, and I frankly don't like the yellow stripes on the fairings.

It's working fine for me.

LOL, ah that little pearl.. You just have to make sure the Fairing is staged. If it's just pulled off by the LES then even though its long gone things that where inside it don't work. I just checked, it's a well known bug.

The Ares 1 is now finished. Just a few tweaks to the much more complex Ares V and then a video will be made! Here's a teasey pic of the Ares 1:

How are you guys getting on?

Checking in fine. Altair is going well.

This is harder than I thought!

Good with Ares I and V, having trouble with rendezvous between Orion and EDS-Atair.

Glad to hear it, thanks for the rep dude. I'm very happy with it, plenty of dv, easy and smooth to fly.

I will probably fly a full mission tonight. Just to double check everything.

I did this and posted it to Reddit a while ago, but I don't think I tested if the parachute would work, but maybe I did. Oh well.

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

Me? I'm doing fine! Just fine! Don't worry about me! Ha ha ha! Annoyed? Of course not!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I love that thermometers have collision meshes! Really! They're my friends!

Thanks dude but I got it working earlier. You just have to make sure the fairing is deployed when separated.

[Woopert]

Good to hear. I look forward to your improved Constellation replica seeing how good your previous one already was.

Thanks mate. I can't wait to finish!

How's this look?

Looks good man. Maybe a little tall? Hard to see the details from the pic.

It's a very impressive looking rocket man. How tall is it compared to your Ares 1?

I can't rep you again sadly.. Not yet anyway.

And here's a picture of my EDS:

I like the Orion. Maybe the lander is a little small compared to the Orion? The ascent pod looks big compared to the descent stage me thinks.
