(RSS/RO) MADV Aerodynamic balance

[Mr. Sandman]

I've been able to turn most of @silentvelcro's DADV-1 mod (Link to the mod here) into a RO-friendly mod, but it needs serious balancing.

I did most of the conversions needed(fuel use,engines,RCS, command pod etc.) But things like tank volume and part mass is quite provvisory.

Another great problem is in the aerodynamics themselves : the vehicle should be capable to land on Mars by aerodynamic (so stable pitching without too much RCS use) and propulsive means (6x RL-10 engines).

Feel free to edit it if it's needed.

Code here:

Thank you for your help.

One thing I'll point out. Don't use ":FOR[RealismOverhaul]" because that tells modulemanager that RealismOverhaul is installed, which it may not be. Instead, use ":AFTER[RealismOverhaul]" or ":NEEDS[RealismOverhaul]".

Good luck!
