If its not working for you, either you have it installed incorrectly or dont have the most up to date OSF from his github. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/119171-105-old-school-fairings/&page=6

Works perfect for me with those files.

 

Thanks! Now is working!

Good to hear!

Loving the Atlas V redux !  However there was a small mistake you made in the fairing nodes on the SEC (centaur 2nd stage tank) You made 2 nodes "fairing01" and "fairing02"  but you had them share the same Y coodinate of "7.267629". This results in only one fairing shell to eject and the other to stick to the 2nd stage. Ive done a fix by creating a  0.1 space between the nodes. If anyone is interested ill post the fix. Then there is a more easy way to fix it , just use the offset tool and spread the 2 fairings a bit . Your mileage may vary. Thank you for the update ! Looking forward to the Delta stuff?  From ULA ? So Atlas and Falcon are the only 1.1 compatible launch vehicles if im correct?

what are you using for dragon?

[Cheesecake]

It's Lazteks Dragon. It isn't updated from 0.90 but it works.

[Jamesstewart97]

How do you rescale the dragon to 3.75m? Can't figure out how to do it.

In the Picture everything is rescaled to Stock-Size.

I used procedural parts to measure the sizes ingame and then i calculated the size/rescaleFactor.

Oh right, would you be willing to post the files? looks so cool.

Hey, I can't really follow you there. I don't have any problems with fairing seperation...?

Yes, the new stuff will all be released in the ULA mod (Delta II, Delta IV, Atlas V, Vulcan). Yep, right now, (my) Atlas V and the Falcon's are the only 1.1 compatible launchers.

Here are two renders of Delta II and IV BTW.

KK.... that looks amazing, Props to you and the team, miss you guys!! but cant wait!!

Okay good to know!  Im curious....why are you completely re-doing the modeling for the Delta? Is this for ULA reasons? Or did the mesh/colliders not play well with 1.1 ?

Because ULA wanted it that way

Or make a config for Tweakscale to rescale.

TUTORIAL TIME!!

1-Install Tweakscale: 

2-open your gamedata, choose one non-rescale part (Like Dragon V1 Pod)

3-copy this:

MODULE
{
name = TweakScale
type = free
}

 

(Delete the } from the last line and rewrite the } at last line).

4- save and play ksp and will work!

5-at ksp, refit rhe size to match to the Falcon 9 diameter (or another part).

All you have to do is set the Rescale factor in the parts CFG that you want to fit falcon, and set it to 1.25

I guess you cant argue with the folks at ULA. So what is the deal with the partnership? Is this to promote something? I heard the Delta II is retiring around 2017. Tis will be a sad time

This isn't really to promote anything, they just reached out to us and asked if we can make a ULA mod (no longer me as I have left the development team) and yes Delta II retires in January of 2017

[Delta_8930]

Are you making realistic textures for all rockets in the ULA pack? I heard somewhere that EJ_SA wants to use stockalike textures, but I don't remember where I heard it...

I literally posted an answer to that already

[Kerbal01]

From my one test with F9 Super Full Thrust. I found reserving 1100 ish fuel gives a velocity at MECO of 1.5 km/s. No boostback, 2 second entry burn, 3 engine hoverslam at about 1000-900 meters works well

I'm redoing them because they were old, bad rubbish and primitive. I had planned to redo them anyway, and it was pretty much the perfect time for it now.

No triston! ULA said that they would like to have a KSP mod which adds their launch vehicles into the game and such. This and the fact that Tory Bruno was at the Kerbal Space Academy stream, and so it was a great idea to have a mod like this, so they reached out to us and said if we would do it. Basically. They gave us some information on what they expect, and let us do our thing. Now we got the models, and they were totally overwhelmed by them, they didn't expect something great looking like this and EJ's stuff, and that's what I wanted. I of course could have just used the old models, but I thought (still think) they wouldn't really be appopriate for an offical mod.

You can - they explicitly said that they have no idea on how to something like this for KSP, and so we were / are the "experts", we are the ones doing the things ULA wants us to do. They said that they would like to have an offical mod because they often see people on twitter, youtube etc "doing their missions", but they'd love if the players had a chance to actually do that with their "real" launch vehicles.

 

Maybe this clears things up a bit.

oh now i feel dumb, my bad

I play using RSS but not RO.  I use SMURFF to make the thrust and F/M ratio more playable.  How will this pack perform in that kind of setting?  Should I use the RO configs?
