Then take into account that in KSP everything is scaled down by a factor of 1.5.

Where is that written?

I agree that stock sizes are about 5/8th (1/1.64) scale, but masses are typically greater than real rockets, especially payloads, pods, fuel tanks and engines.

This is done for “balance “ because Kerbin is tiny.

Yeah I know, things are a little more complicated than my estimation. Anyway, 10 times the mass was a bit too much, it also was much more than the stock fairings. damonvv already changed the fairing's mass to essentially the same value a month ago, it just isn't released yet.

@damonvv Did you notice Elon's new (?) profile picture on Twitter?

Here's a few screenshots from a recent mission I did. It send a communication satellite to Medium Kerbin Orbit. That sat will slowly boost itself to the Mun. Inspired a little by how Beresheet got to the Moon. I'm excited for the update btw :D

Just have to hope it doesn't end like Beresheet Did.

Tundra Exploration 1.4 is released! Whoop!

This version includes the following!

- Added new shader to solar panels
- Added custom shader for soot change on Ghidorah (Thanks to @DMagic and @Shadowmage for the help!)
- Added Revamped New Horizons (Paneer) parts
- Added Iridium parts
- Fixed fairing colliding with interstage
- Fixed Ghidorah interstage not pushing second stage away
- Cargo box adjustments
- Updated CoL heatshield Gigan
- Revamped Rodan IVA
- Fixed fairing seam on Ghidorah 
- Revamp of Rapor plumes (By @JadeOfMaar @Nessus_)
- Revamp of Merlin plumes (By @JadeOfMaar @Nessus_)
- Fixed FH decoupler pushing boosters sideways almost into the core itself

Download them on SpaceDock while it's hot!
Read the OP to see which dependency you need, I reduced the amount and added as few more recommended for IVA stuff.

Happy launches!

Amazing update Damon! Flabbergasted by those new plumes. 

Although I guess the release date was determined by 1.7 more than anything it's very aprops to see this drop soon on the heels of that epic Falcon Heavy launch.

Amazing! A brilliant update. Out of interest where did you get the landing barge you use in the trailer?

It will be available on Tundra's Space Center mod today as well!
Keep an eye on this one:

Hey Damon, 

First of. Congrats on the release of 1.4

I'm wondering where the 3 Engine mode for the octopus has gone. Last time i tried (which was today) i couldn’t switch to it only the 1 and 9 engine modes were working.

You need Kerbal Actuators for the three-engine mode :)

It's in the recommended tab. You need Kerbal Actuators in order for it to work :) 

This is an attempt at getting less required mods (for CKAN sake) and KA isn't on CKAN so that's why I moved it there!
