Titan IIIE & IV w new Titan Pics, Delta II, Ariane 4 & 5

The custom 1.75m SRBs are patterned after the Titan IIIC colors.

The -IV achieved a 63km orbit with 1 full 1.75m tank left.

There's a command capsule and fueltank/LFR inside the cargo shell.

Fixed the miss-matched paint on the boosters, and added the Space Probe as cargo. The Titan can push it to escape velocity then return the crew to the KSC.

that doesn't sound all that stupid at all, I've been trying the same thing with little result. so far ive been able to stack them underneath on a long enough fuel tank.

Also Andras; would you care to share those beautifull rockets, I would like to try to fly them.

I, err, cheated a little with the cargo panels. I changed the 2m-1.75m adapter to allow side attachments. (change the attachrules to 1,0,1,1,0). There's a 1 pixel wide sweet spot that has just the small gap as seen, I also used some struts to hold them together at the top.

Also these guys have custom items that won't load on your machines with just the .craft files. I posted the 1.75m SRBs in Nova's main SIDR thread.

I made some retexts of the main long 1.75m tanks, short 1.75m tank, and 1.75m decoupler to kinda-sorta resemble some of the historical US rockets. Some are also posted in the SIDR thread.

If you find the big boosters, only fire them in pairs. I fire the bottom two plus the main engines, then the top two, then eject the side pods when they are out. Firing all 4 at once tends to break things.

You may have also noticed the big yellow ball at the bottom of the cargo section. Based on a comment by HarvesteR I added a ', 2' to the end of the attach nodes that would be 1.75 or 2m in size and a ', 3' to all the nodes that would be 3m. It changes the size and color of the attach node.

I have a legal workaround for the cargo shell. If you use Sunday\'s long 1m decoupler at the bottom of the command/pusher stage you can side attach the cargo shell to it. The shell will not have any gaps and you don\'t need the strut to hold the top together.
