[0.23.5]Stockalike Aeronautics (2.0) New Engine, FX fix

[blackheart612]

I've seen a whole lot of rocket parts that are very epic for a while now, and I see some lacking on stockalike parts so here's my try on it.

This pack contains:

Radial Engine

Dual Nozzle Engine

Quad Nozzle Engine

The smokescreen effects are now optional, you can now install them separately if you want.

These Are Amazing! What have you got planned for the future?

[Xenon2462]

i have to agree not alot of stockalikes except for KSPX but its only being suported

[blackheart612]

Quad Engine, SPS, 1m Engines too. I want to add variety to SP engines but keeping the stockalike theme with this. Reason why I have separate mods because they have different themes. I might add some fuel tanks too. Parts that I can think of. And if I can, make it so that they match with my other mods. Oh, expanding 3m too.

That sounds amazing! I'm going to be following this mod closely.

[Talisar]

Very nice! I can definitely find use for these. Especially the radials.

[Helix935]

whoa nice engines, can you make an improved RAPIER?

downloading now

[Mach_XXII]

Whoa these are amazing engines, can't wait to see what you have planned

Blackheart, you are some kind of multitasking wizard (or witch). HOW do you keep up with so many projects at once, and still keep them alive?!?!?

[m00f]

Wow! These are going to be so cool! Good luck on this and I hope it will be as successful as your previous projects!

He must use magic.

[DasBananenbrot]

Sounds promising Looking good as every stuff you make

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Downloading now, looks very very promising!

The models are neat and the texture work is great (as always) but I think your radial engine deserve a buff, all the stats are the same compared to the Rockomax 24-77 except the mass (yours is heavier) so right now there is little to no reason to use the LV3-R over the stock engine (or I have simply missed something). Also I'm not a huge fan of the behavior of the exhaust effect (it makes for nice fireworks though) :

Ah, and do you plan on making a KW-like version of this mod ? Because I love what you've done with the stock engines and it'd be nice to have these fit with the stock retextures of yours.

Very shiny, but what are the specs? Looking at the images, I can't tell what niche these engines are meant to fill other than looking nice.

lol damn I forgot to bump that up. At least it looks cool.

Anyways, regarading re-textures, I'm not quite sure, I'll be honest and say I have my hands full at the moment.

The radial engine will get a higher thrust. It's easy to overheat and I will make it a little inefficient.

LV-T180 is the midway between skipper and mainsail, 1k thrust with a more balanced ISP for both vac and asl. If ya'll guys need an engine stat made, tell me and I might put it in one of my engines.

[Tommygun]

All the textures look right and we really need more large radial engines.

There is one area I think the stock parts need are payload fairings and fairings between stages when you use a 1.25 m engine on 2.5 m tank.

One of the issues I have with career mode is that it forces you to make ugly rockets, in part because there aren't any stock fairings.

Updated to 1.1

Added optional effects, now uses stock effects

Made LV-T180 less shiny

Fixed the stats of LV-3R being very bad

Updated pic to show LV-T180 being less shiny.

[BrutalRIP]

theres something not right here dont know if the update fix's this though cant test till tomorrow

[Guest]

Very nice work! I think we need a radial engine for space use. Also a more powerful 1.25 meter engine for when LV-T30s won't cut it.

Try adding fixedEmissions = false to the exhaust config for that part (probably under the powerflame section)

Sorry I'm stuck at work, if I was at home I could check this myself and be more specific with the details

Already planned

That's what it's for?

Yeah it's under powerflame.

[NoMrBond]

Yeah it's under powerflame.

It's something to do with the way the particles are spawned, or perhaps propelled relative to world space (if that's even the correct term), do they move relative to the ship or space, or something like that?

Sorry I remembered reading about a similar issue with HotRockets a while ago and the fix for the strange exhaust behavior was related to this setting

[Edit] Relevant comment from the HotRockets! thread

Cheers for making this mod chaps, Makes the effects Much nicer on most rocket engines, and fills the nozzles with effect rather than having an effect a meter or so away from the end of the nozzle, and the nozzle empty

However the Effects for the Closed cycle part of the Larger Sabre-M Engine seemed to be broken.....

I noticed that the Smaller Sabre-S was not affected by the Issue, and noticed that the Sabre-S had The extra Line fixedEmissions = false in it's running_closed section that the Sabre-M did not have in It's version of the "running_closed" section

So I added in the fixedEmissions = false line in, and it Fixed the issue :-)

Link to changed file to fix the Sabre-M: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/85344120/b9_hotrockets.cfg

(Right Click and save link as, or Brower tends to open the file in-Browser)

Which seemed to be the same graphical issue

I'll add that and see if it does fix it. Thanks!
