Wow, that's great. Thank you for your efforts. Could you update the cockpit of the Il-76? It's a good idea:D

what exactly do you mean? By updating? What is missing from it?

I would not be in a rush for this as @kerbmario was just nice enough to update an existing mod. I have looked at the Il-76 cockpit and even for an experienced 3d modeler, it would not be a simple cockpit to create.

It is true that there are many glass windows in the cockpit of the Il-76, which may increase the manufacturing difficulty. However, you can refer to the A-50 early warning aircraft. It does not have many windows, which may reduce the manufacturing difficulty. Of course, I would be very happy to see the F-15 cockpit too, and I would like to donate money to you hhhhhh

Curved shapes take alot of work to get right in blender, then there is the adding of the windows, Curved shapes use far more vertices and you have to compensate for the vertice limit per mesh section that the Unity engine has.

Have you any experience using blender?

If yes, have you used the .mu plugin for blender?

If no to these 2 then you need to start very simple and learn bit by bit how things work until you feel confident with creating a complex model that matches the scales used by KSP. Then there is the internal model to go with it.

Let me know your experience level and I can see about linking you to posts that can help to get you started.

i have some blender experience.....

creating and scaling cubes/cylinders 

I dont even know how to connect 2 meshes (i wanted to do that for a part)

Also i kinda know animations as i created a new animation for the door part 25PD!

 

 

yes, i used the mu export plugin....

but i just edited imported mu parts and export worked

 

at like creating cube, exporting it or such never worked

i also need to get used to MU export plugin more.

 

 

but i do have quite good sketchup skills which wont help

(sketchup exports "circles" with like 24-edges)

Recently downloaded this and I'm liking the parts.

I'd like to point out that in the 50PC.cfg file in Passengercabins, the TweakScale node has the line "defaultScale = 5.0" twice.  I only mention it because Tweakscale had a hissy-fit about double definitions and issued an end of the world warning about my save games. 

I removed one of the two lines and Tweakscale regained its composure.

I'm at 183 mods, so Tweakscale may well be  kinda leary about running in my environment.  ;)

am i allowed to use some of these patches to be included in the mod?

Yes. That patches are GPLv2. Since neist is CC-BY-SA, you can mix them. But you will talk to SpaceDock and CKAN guys about how to declare the licensing terms of the thing (I remember something about selecting the most restrictive license or something)

— — POST EDIT — — 

Whoops, nope! The license is CC-BY-NC-SA , so it's incompatible with GPL! So you can't copy the files as they are into your add'on.

However… A simple patch like defining a scale type and a defaultScale is hardly "copyrightable", it would like trying to copyright two simple lines of code that does some basic action - and there's no other way to accomplish that anyway.

So, pain in the SAS legalese put aside, you can keep doing things like you are doing now and, if by some bad of luck someone complains about, pinpoint this post where the author of that damned thing (TweakScale Companion for NAP - Neistridlar Airplane Parts) is stating that you can create your own patches for your own parts, and since your parts have the same size and names that the ones I used, it's unavoidable that the "code" would be similar. :)

Hi!

I want to make a suggestion. I noticed that you renamed two parts, 74MTS and 58MTS, to 74MST and 58MST.

This is usually a bad idea because anyone using a previous release of the add'on will be unable to load their savegames and crafts because of this change.

So I suggest you add the following patch to the distribution:

+PART[58MST]
{
	@name = 58MTS
	%category = none
}

+PART[74MST]
{
	@name = 74MTS
	%category = none
}

This will create a hidden copy of the parts using the older names, allowing people with ongoing savegames (not to mention crafts being imported from Kerbal-X) to keep going. New crafts will be created using the new names, so it's a win-win situation.

Cheers!

would it be the same case with 31-37AD, which i renamed to 37-50AD?

+PART[37-50AD]
{
	@name = 31-37AD
	%category = none
}

Totally missed this one…. Anyway, the rule of thumb is - if you ever published a Full Release (Pre Releases doesn't counts, it's expected to have things changing on it) and renamed a part on a later one, it's best for the users to do something like this.

Having parts vanishing from the GameData is surely a way to break your faithful users (the ones that are using the add'on since long time), not to mention crafts from Kerbal-X - it's pretty disappointing to download a nice craft from Kerbal-X just to be not allowed to load it because a part was removed from the distribution.

Cheers!
