What if you took the logos off for the low res pack? I mean some people would say really grainy is better than nothing but for me I would rather them not be there than see distorted graphics. I mean its not for me the normal packs work perfectly fine for me. I mean if people have already set the resolution low in the game I can't imagine what it would look like. Just fruit for thought. -
Idk SpaceX seems to have the right idea for low earth orbit rockets. If we only adapted or developed a launch system like that before we retired the shuttle fleet we wouldn't have to rely on the Russians. Once the grasshopper is fully developed and implemented for SpaceX the Dragon, and falcon rockets will be the some of the most powerful and cost effective rockets ever made. I don't think the Ares I or the Liberty were ever really viable launch vehicles. I don't like the idea of strapping people to the top of a single SRB. Kerbals? Yes. But humans, I don't think so, it just seem innately unsafe. You can't shut them down! Also how do you control an SRB? I mean its over with now. SpaceX will service the ISS baring any unforeseen circumstances. My real gripe is that they retired the shuttle which of course was entirely necessary and doesn't serve a purpose anymore and had nothing prepared to replace it. I mean NASA of all things couldn't predict or see the potential for geopolitical conflicts and tension? Anyway its too late dwell on it now. Sorry for going off topic.

Exactly the SLS is the Saturn V with more efficient and powerful engines. I will say as much as I love the Saturn V it was a behemoth and was unbelievably expensive. If we want to get to Mars or back to the Moon we need something that big. However we should have been developing a cheap reliable rocket to make trips back and forth to the ISS like the Soyuz. We Americans just can't do anything small. Our launch vehicles have been expensive and huge, and amazing but the Russians knew how to play the long game. Yes yes I know SpaceX is gonna pick up the lost slack and finally allow us not to rely on the Russians to get to the ISS but we should have been developing one as we were building the ISS. The SLS is too huge to be used as something we use to shuttle astronauts to the ISS.

I dont know if its a bug but I feel I need to report it. It happens with the Vessel View screen. Its easily fixed by reseting the screen but just wanted to let you know, it does happen more often than not.

ITS HUGE!!! Amazing!! Is it slated to to have Dragon on top of it or is it strictly a heavy lifter?

8K82K aka PROTON (OLDD in USSR) v. 0.5. (12.05.14)
sp1989 replied to DennyTX's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
I mean there are dozens of Saturn V replicas. The N1 although it didn't make it to the moon was very important to the space race. Also the soviet pack keeps getting older with each update and its bound to break and unfortunately Bobcat doesn't really do maintenance anymore. So its probably good Denny is doing this. -
One question should the parachutes be a little bigger? I mean the capsule comes down and nice soft 20Kps! Or are we supposed to do a soft landing retro?
-
Are gonna do the FalconX and the Falcon X Heavy? If so thats what I request for the .24 update lol. Seriously though there are modders who choose form over function, there are modders who choose function over form, finally there are modders who choose realism over form or function. This mod is functional, its beautiful, and they look just like the real things. That puts you in an elite group on these forums. Not many accomplish all of those things and you nailed them all. Congratulations! Very well done. Think about the FalconX and the FalconX Heavy. Those things are massive and with the new joint stabilization in the .23.5 update totally possible. Keep it up. :Edit they are going to be massive.
-
Oh I agree with you totally about it needing to be a challenge! I just feel I should get past 5000 before I am on stage two. That being said the rocket explodes off the launch pad really fast so maybe raising the efficiency, lowering the power, and increasing the fuel just a bit will balance it out. Just enough to atleast to start a gravity turn. Although Lovads Saturn V is really buggy and incomplete the take off for his Saturn V is really nice. It takes off slow and builds up speed very quickly. However his has way too much fuel. I got to the Mun before getting to the third stage. So his is not balanced at all.
-
Is there a fix for this?
-
No I dont think so, I never have a problem with the reflection plugin except that it makes the rockets turn blue at night and in the morning. It never lagged. Just in case though I removed the reflection plugin and I still had the same problem. Like I said this is the first time I am really having problems with FASA. Also the lag isn't just playing the game. The loading times in the VAB are very unusual. I mean it takes so long for the OLDD parts to populate on screen that I consider force quitting because it seems like the game is frozen. The FASA parts come right up. Even the LEM which is dennys comes right up, but its labelled FASA. So I stand by my conclusion that the labeling might be the culprit.
-
Is it possible that its laggy because a lot of the parts have dennys labels on them? The CM, SM, SM engine, all the Alslep stuff. Maybe thats where the lag is coming from? In the VAB when I click on any of the pods up to and including all the FASA ones including the LEM ascent stage it pops up pretty much instantaneously, along with all the other fasa and stock parts. When I click on the Apollo CM or any of the parts that sill have dennys labels it takes atleast 5-10 seconds for it come on to the screen. I also roughly built the whole Saturn V with the stock Command Pod and no OLDD parts and it flew perfect. So my unscientific conclusion is that the problems (at least for me) are coming from the OLDD parts. Really really sorry to be blasting the forum.
-
Did you upload the updates yet? Where can we find them?
-
Ok not spamming but I am just posting as I discover the problems. I am experiencing a lag like I never have before with FASA. Its only with the Saturn V and its the same lag that I experience with Dennys. Its really the only reason I don't use Dennys Saturn V. It runs really smooth and then all of a sudden it will freeze for a second, fly perfect and then freeze for a second. The freezing is intermittent and is really annoying compared to lag that happens sometimes. The normal lag I am talking about seems to slow down the whole game. This lag freezes and then works normal. Maybe its something in dennys code that does it or more likely its just my computer. Just fyi reporting stuff as I notice it.

I do a gravity turn between 7000-10000 depending on what my speed is or if I need speed. It just seems the first stage should be longer, no? I mean stage two at 8,000 idk. If I use the NASA stock parts I can get a longer burn time with those fuel tanks and they are smaller. Also Frizz didn't you say denny was doing a custom IVA for the CM? Thats gonna be epic!
-
It all looks great! Will you be reintegrating those craft files in the final update? It all looks better and better with each update I keep getting more excited that its so close to finished. Few questions and comments. I don't know if its me but is the first stage a little under fueled? Im on stage two before 7,000ish and I am burning most of the third stage to get into orbit and not nearly enough for munar insertion. Maybe its just me. Besides that awesome awesome awesome! Whats left it seems like just a few more textures on the tanks and the LES?
-
I can't even explain how excited I am for that. I mean between the lander pod and the upcoming and pod you are completely changing the way people play KSP. Full missions completed IVA, that is an incredible option. Even if they don't want to do it IVA the pods are beautiful to look at. Well done!
-
you sir are amazing!
-
Mechjeb updated last night and like an idiot i downloaded it and deleted the older copy.
-
So we need to wait for RPM to update?
-
Will the Easter Bunny be bringing us an update this weekend?
-
Im probably doing something stupid. Everything is beautiful which is to be expected based on past work. However it is slightly slower. It is noticeable but not enough to stop me from using this mod and not enough to be annoying, however it is noticeable. Probably just me. Second Whenever I click mechjeb on the computer screens it says autopilot not installed and i definetly have mechjeb and mechjeb rom installed. So like I said its probably me doing something stupid. Other than those things its is amazing1 a triumph once again.
-
You need to have KAS installed. Once thats installed then you can walk up to the stuff and right clock to grab.
-
oh oh yea!!! Do that! I mean you have a clamp for every other rocket in the pack, it only makes sense that the Saturn V has one!
-
One thing I know I have mentioned this before but what are the logistics about making the fall away umbilical for the redstone? I totally get that you dont get for 100% realism and and it fun over function and realism etc. Im just saying that it would be a nice addition to the launch towers and tower pack. Plus it would look really cool.
