ARM parts compatability KW/NP/Procedural Fairings, B9 .....

[Gryphorim]

I am wondering what the various mod teams are planning in terms of compatability with the soon-to-be-released ARM Heavy boosters.

Supposedly they are 4.2m in diameter, so not in line with the community conventions of 3.75m or 5m.

Thus I ask, what are the plans?

Didn't you get the memo? They ARE 3.75m parts.

I had not heard that, I thought they measured 4.2m

The question came up a few^* times during the ARM Marathon, definitely 3.75m

GusTurbo (IIRC) tried to figure out the size of the new parts using some ratios and a pic of the parts. He came out with 4.2, but they are actually 3.75.

Considering how open and accepting Squad has been to the modding community, it would've been a monstrously idiotic move to make new stock fuel tanks incompatible with literally every single large mod tank/engine out there.

Awesome news that they are 3.75. Leaves hope for official 5m parts maybe! Just kidding, but at least I know I don't have to horribly redesign the work I've already done. Thanks for the responses, guys.

They are most likely planning on waiting to get the released version to make their mods work with the new parts.
