I've got TUFX and reflections on, my computer has more than enough power to render it, but it's not showing up Uhh truthful made a Config for it. It’s not in BDB sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best way to add support for missing stuff is to contribute them yourself to the Realism Overhaul repository and how to add them to the Realism Overhaul repository ?does it require certain skills?

CobaltWolf Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 8 hours ago, davidy12 said: A simple fix and honestly @CobaltWolf IT WORKS LIKE A DREAM. Also, will we see different paint schemes on the S-1 stage (IE: How in Apollo 7 it was black and white and in Skylab/ASTP launches it was just white)? And just another notice, the S-IVB SLA Jettison is still pretty anemic. I think I can change the PAW buttons for the decouplers, I'll see if I can set it so it's like, "Jettison Docking Port" or something. S-1 will probably get at least one paint variant. I'm waiting to finish the sheet - there's room left that I'll probably use for the remaining fins and such. I'll look into the SLA panels, several people have mentioned that they're not quite up to snuff. 3 hours ago, serg1983 said: and how to add them to the Realism Overhaul repository ?does it require certain skills? It doesn't take any special skills, no. It's just editing text files and making a pull request on GitHub (which is quite simple). But you're better off asking on their Discord if you need help. A lot of it is just looking at existing configs to figure out the process and syntax. 10 hours ago, davidy12 said: Ahhh... The rocket that started BDBs path to Saturn. Can still remember begging you for this rocket since FASA didn't have a good Saturn I analogue. Since I didn't respond to this last night... yeah, right? Exciting to see it again. We're almost done with the historical stuff, at least for my end of the update. Off the top of my head, have to do the S-1 Block II fins, retro motors, and a switch for the S-1B mount that adds some extra stuff (engine fairings and the inboard engine exhaust dumps).

I assume by historical you mean as flown Historical... Cause I don't see C-3 parts anywhere Any Chance of getting a J-2 Engine mount for S-IV? For "reasons?" seems it would be mostly reductive to do a mount variant for that. (remove 5 of the 6 fuel lines on the S-IV mount, reduce nodes to 1 and remove heat shield.... Make remaining fuel line same thickness as on S-IVB.) Ok done chain yanking and trolling Seriously I wish I had not committed all my free time to a mod outside of KSP scope... I really want to play these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make remaining fuel line same thickness as on S-IVB. I think there's definitely a need for some other options on the S-IV mount, but it won't be that easy. At a minimum I'd like to make sure there is a 1x mount, yes. Will likely be based out of the S-IVB mount moreso than the S-IV; there's absolutely zero space left on those sheets, unfortunately.

Yeah probably just an adapter. There might be some alternative options when Zorg gets in with the SAF stuff. 1 hour ago, MajorLeaugeRocketScience said: What's the current plan look like for what ahistorical stuff you want to work on first? Are you thinking you want to redo the ETS parts or move into new stuff like MLV and NERVA? Or is there some surprises in store? Going to focus on getting back up to parity with the stuff currently included in the mod. So stuff like the ETS parts and AJ-260 have priority. And then there's stuff that falls more under improving the customization and variants in the parts, so there will be a lot in the form of B9 switches and the like, a lot of that's getting added. A handful of parts that are kind of necessary, like a proper 4.25m (so, AJ-260 and Saturn 1 diameter) radial decoupler, are also getting added. There will probably be a couple surprises though In general we'd like to get a release out before we get too crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, I won't ask for the 220" S-IV tank nor the 4 engine mount to go with it. And while it was fun discovering that little gem, I think there are more important things to build past the existing "As previously in the mod" parts. *Chain Yanking* S-III */Chain Yanking* But seriously there are many avenues of Saturn that you have stated you would love to visit. I hope you have the Time, patience and inclination to go down those roads. And I hope I can start playing with these sometime soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transformatron Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Built a big Gemini S-IVB diameter today: Spoiler Spoiler 99% BDB with a bit of KNES, Tantares, and X-20 Moroz. 260" SRB scaled to match new Saturn parts. (There seems to be a glitch with the micrometeorite shield on Skylab, when I loaded in the craft a second time, the shield reappeared. Also, the RCS thrusters, the Gemini Ferry ones, have no plumes.)

Please ensure the lab itself is not the root part, would suggest making the IU the root instead (which is the "proper" way to build it anyway).

Github has had a problem of only downloading the default branch (instead of the apollo-saturn-revamp branch that the new apollo and saturn parts were located), except it seems to be fixed now. Try cloning that branch again and see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
