    Hey CBBP, according to NovaSilisko in this thread, TGA files both take up less Space AND import faster than MBM, especially the TGA-compressed format. Do you think it would be possible to change format to TGA, or would it take too long time for you?

    well once upon a time I had used tgas and people drew ponies all over the things and criticized my style of UV mapping. I did not like this.

    In other news and as sad as it is. while the strut works fine for everything else. when you eject apart that has the strut on it. It never disconnects :(

    I am using those large double solar panels on my space station. But whenever I go back to the station the solar panels are undeployed and say they are extended? When I click retract them they just suddenly appear and retract.

    EDIT: Nvm I downloaded the new version :)

    Thankfully that issue is dead.

    it has been a long road of trail and error but the Kosmos Sleek stylish super strut is coming along nicely. Dare to compare to the stock Strut.

    Thanks for the Answer! i hope the extention of nozzles affects the efficiency in the future, I cant wait to see The N-1 starting to melt the metal grill at launch pad :). I only used the RD-0146 on atmosphere in one case (It was "Payload send attempt No. 2 Now 100% Less ariane 5 ripoff) first stages failed sadly due to SRBs Structural linkage fail, they burned up almost all the rocket except payload.... and yes i figured out Whit the ISp and the try that its not the best option in atmosphere... Sadly the payload and the engine did a really big crater on the ground :P

    you should try and over heat an RD-0146 :D mlake the pipes really glow on that expander scycle SOB lol

    I started using 4 of them as Orbital generation and Mun aproach stage for an mun landing whit around 5-8t. of cargo then on mun orbit i used another one for Final descent and landing on mun, i love how efficent it is and the expanding animation :P but i have a question, Why it can expand, i mean what was it for? or its just for fun?.

    It is currently just for fun. But in reality lots of engines like the RL-10 and real RD-0146 have extendable nozzles that would increase efficiency.

    If you like those engines you will like my next batch fo engines. Thoguh not wure when i will make those. I hope to make the RD-58 some time soon. it would be the 1.25m class acent second stage engine. that is. have decent ISp but not super great. but more than it would have in ATmosphere. so you wouldn;t want it there or for departure but its good thrust would make it perfect for finishing ascent.

    The RD-0146 for me its the best engine i ever added to one of my rockets of 3.75m in long time, Usually they dont even fly, But the new engines are really great. Keep this nice mod/part pack going better and better :) (Idk exactly which one).

    Oh that thing actually did something for you? mind telling what? a departure i take it? :P it is not good at acent or making an orbit at all lol..

    Hello CBBP, would you be able to upload the SSPP on another link? as of now, spaceport keeps corrupting every attempt I have at downloading your pack, having it hosted on another, backup, link, would make it easier for those who are having this problem with spaceport to get it.

    We'll see :) I need to head to work .

    but before I head to work

    The left is my original quick mock up. Right is actual N-1 shape. it's ammaing how many drawings (what i sued to make the left side) are wrong lol.

    thanks guys :)

    Not that I have really worked on it but I reopened the N-1 files and studied the layut and adjusted the KSMOS wonky sizes

    VA 2.5m since that it is what i went with. If I could redo it I would have made it 2m too late now though :D

    Block D 3 meter because it will just work better with everything else that way. Plus 1.25 engine's can fit up inside the donut tank at this size.

    Block G/n1-l3 3 meters. with Block D being 3 M this should probably be 3.75 to 4m but I will just use this as an adapter piece between the two varied sizes.

    Block A will thusly be 12m to accommodate for the weird sizes. Reason it needs to be 12 and block G 3meter is because the size of the Nk-33 engine being 1.25m.

    How bothersome... the extending nozzle animation stops the emissive over heat animations form working correctly on the RD-0146... this game man.... i swear. it will be years before animation modules work correctly I guess.

    in other news.

    Great Gravy. i forgot how amazing the panel detail is. i even have the little gears textures on the insides of the rotary clamps hahah.

    I am not exactly sure how NMB did them but I think he scaled down the actual engines down from the real like counter parts. That being said i think Stock engines are rather unbalanced at this time for their size and mass and such. And that being said KSPwill one day have a tech tree. Kosmos engines will be balanced into the tech tree to even out their Opness. But currently it is possible they will be preferred over stock engines. but they are also a good bit prettier than stock engines as well. So.. why use stock engines? if you like stock engines why use a mod? lol.
