Tundra Exploration RO compatibility patch

The time is here!
Tundra Exploration finally has its own RO config pack made by @Nessus_.

Features

  • Realistic part sizes, fuel types/capacities and (mostly) masses for Gojira (Starship), Ghidorah (Falcon 9/FH), Bagorah (Falcon 9 v1.0), Mothra (Falcon 1), Gigan (Dragon 1), Rodan (Dragon 2) and Strongbacks
  • Realistic names for all parts
  • Falcon 9 versions of the RCS thrusters (using Nitrogen) and Landing Legs from KRE
  • SpaceX logos for all Falcon rockets
  • Adjustments for all SmokeScreen plumes from Tundra Exploration for the new part sizes.

Installation

  • Install Tundra Exploration and all of its dependecies
  • Copy the contents of GameData into the GameData folder of your KSP RO install
  • Copy the contents of Extras/SpaceXDecals/GameData into the GameData folder of your KSP RO install (and override files if asked)

TODOs

  • Better mass-values for Dragon 1 and 2
  • Realistic maximum temperatures

Please report anything that looks off or wrong on the github repo. Updates will go through there.
Happy launches!

So @damonvv bit of an issue, The Gojira test pod RCS does not work because It is only set as liquid fuel + oxidiser and there is no way to change it (B9 partswitcher).

I see, I probably forgot to add the new part to the B9PS fuel patches. Will do that! I am planning on another small update later this week with some more fixes.

My starship is black and glitchy looking. I tried enabling shaders, but I can't seem to find the option to do that. that in the graphics settings right? does it have different terminology? btw I cannot stop playing with this mod, it's amazing!

You might want to check if you have 'reflection refresh' on in graphics settings.

Do you have Textures unlimited installed? If so, you need to change the render quality to a higher setting to make it reflect the surroundings.

Hi! My starship flaps aren't working properly. They seem to pivot around 5 degrees only, and will move either down or up (with the perspective of starship belly flopping), rather than just up like what it should do. Have I done something wrong with installation?

Check out the craft file that comes with it to see how the flaps work with the action groups. It is a complex system that needs a lot of understanding.

I wouldn't put it that far, it's pretty easy to fly once you get the hang of it.

Right click on the command pod and change the control point to 'docking' during the bellyflop, it should allow you full flap control.

I’m having problems with the mod. When I’ve installed it and opened up the game, there is no parts but there is flags the mod has. I’ve installed countless mods before and can’t understand why this isn’t working. Can someone tell be the proper steps for installing it in case I’m doing it wrong?

Don't worry about it, does the same thing for me and it works just fine =D

But how? When I try to start the game I can't get rid of that warning unless I quit the game, and when I restart the game it just happens again.
