Recommended Posts

All good things come to those who wait   @Nertea stuff is definitely worth the wait its a top notch  mod and I thank him for his time and patience  and skill, and on that note i will add a picture  for a ScanSat  triple launch using some of the new parts from the Dev Releases  of ScanSat and Near Future exploration and other Near Future Mods oh and some squad bits.

@Nertea  I am really starting to use your near Future Launch vehicles mod and I was wondering if you would include some small compact SRB's for separating the stages  both forward and backward and radially the stock sepratrons  are really ordinary and was hoping you might make some that are functional and look good

Is it possible to split the Near Future Electrical mod into 2 separate mods? Because I really like the capacitors, RTGs, and the batteries but I never use the nuclear reactors. If not, what do I delete? 

Folders

FissionReactors and NuclearFuel

Use Janitors closet you can hide the parts you dont use or prune them completely without screwing up the rest of the mod and LGG is a gun at updating his stuff it also filters on mod its very very good if you have a lot

I started working on this around November and predicted 6 months work, seems pretty accurate, so NFLV 2.0.0 is done. Have an album!

So, important features

  • Completely redone and expanded set of 5.0m parts, including new engine clusters and utility parts.
  • Completely redone and expanded set of 7.5m parts, now including cargo bays, more utility parts and more engine mounts.
  • New and improved engine lineup based on many concept and NewSpace engines, including SpaceX and RocketLab parts.
  • All legacy parts have been soft-deprecated

That highlights list looks short, you should look at the album. It's basically a completely new mod at this point.

The NFLV changelog says this, but the download still contains version 2.13.0.

Just to verify, if I'm going to use this in a fresh install with no craft carried over, I can just delete the legacy folder?

Yep.

We may never know!

So is everyone else.  I hope I didn't come across as rude pointing out the bug — just wanted to let you know in case you want to release a fix, and let others know to watch out for that when installing.

Sometimes I swear you and @CobaltWolf are locked in eternal modded combat for who can make the most amazing parts. The last few NF and BDB updates have been INCREDIBLE!

The original preview image of NFLV is a bit of a riddle: Is it an edgy, conically shaped stage or is the perspective merely deceiving and its a regular cylindrical rocket? I just wonder what parts these are.

I always assumed it was a conical rocket so I shuddered at the thought of ever using this mod. But now I think it just perspective yumminess.

Thanks Nertea.

Peace.

@theJesuit Glad to hear that others were wondering, too! :D 

Though, that shape cannot be that bad that one wouldn't use the mod. After all there were

'wonderful' concept rockets like this one, albeit not quite conical, its shape was curious enough:

I thought it was an X-33 or DC-X and just about died of SSTO goodness.
