There's a ton of errors in there, what issues are you having from BDB?

Good thing I was scrolling the thread, I missed this when you posted (Sorry I've been so absent everyone!) I'm not sure of a better way to get the heights. Taking the difference between the nodes works for most things. You could try using the .mu importer to bring the few you aren't sure about into Blender? For scaling the Saturn... well, there was a big discussion about it between myself, some users, and other mod authors who had a vested interest in compatibility. My understanding was that we'd reached consensus on 4.25m as a compromise. I was later informed that I should have made them 4.125m, but I was much too far along to change it, especially given the relatively minor scaling issue compared to the overall scale of the parts. Typically what we do for rockets is figure out the diameter scale and work from there. If I decide something is going to be, say, 1.5m, then I'll find a good orthographic image, scale it so it matches a 1.5m cylinder, and go from there. In rockets where the stages are multiple diameters, you can already imagine the issues this can cause. Usually there are some compromises along the way, with the end goal being to match the overall proportions while still keeping to established diameters. So there are definitely instances where, say, a stage is slightly overscaled in diameter, but the height is still "correct" compared to the first stage's scaling, for example. Which is all to say, there's never going to be a perfect number you can multiply everything by and achieve 'real scale'. There's too many compromises and executive decisions. Generally the scaling is correct, parts that are 1.25m and below (in KSP scale) tend to have more issues. A lot of the 0.625m and 0.9375m rocketry parts are overscaled, and that's partially so they can fit payloads in their fairings.

Rest assured that the Powers That Be have also taken notice

Sorry about the relative quiet here everyone, IRL has been pretty crazy. My car finally got written off after being rear ended two weeks ago, among other things. Here's some more work on the M55 solid - a toggleable skirt, and a dedicated matching nose cone. Will hopefully have them in game some time this weekend.

Oh, I think those are old old parts that aren't in the mod anymore? I haven't updated the Github (or the forum OP) in years...

Sorry for the delay in finishing up this set of parts, I'd rather have had them finished by now. IRL has been hectic lately (Nothing that isn't being handled!). Anyways, I'm not sure if I shared what I have so far here, so here's a peek. The proportions are a bit whack but there isn't much I can do while keeping diameters.

What do you mean? I definitely remember it being there in that scene?

I mean, it's definitely something that interests me/the team and we'd love to do it some day. Unfortunately, "some day" could be years even without factoring in KSP2 and whatever wrenches that will throw into things. I know I'd personally prioritize Voyager and Viking as more iconic missions, not that I'm jumping to do either.

Once you upload them to Imgur, if you right click > copy link, and paste that into your post, they will embed correctly. Basically you need the URLs that end in the image file extension, like this:

That was one of my main reasons for pushing Zorg to make MORL - I felt that it nicely rounded out the Skylab/OWS/General Apollo station parts very nicely. Combined with the other things that have been added, there's a lot of potential! I've been trying to get Invader to make it for like a year now, but he wants to wait for KSP2. Have a Pegasus update:

Sorry for the delay in responding, but I was waiting until I had something to show... Minotaur C is also coming. Funnily enough, the one thing I haven't started on is the Orion 38 + avionics, the one thing shared between all these LVs!

Last I heard, all Kerbalism cfgs were maintained on their end. No plans; I'm actually not intending on touching the Peacekeeper parts in this update. We will have to see, I think that kind of stuff is mostly @Invaderchaos's department. There's also a chance that we'll see other modders take up the task of making modern probes, which I'd be happy to see. Personally I'm much more interested in the Saturn/Apollo era stuff. EDIT: Oh, forgot to add, here's an update on the Minuteman III GCU. It's all modeled and UV'd and I just started texturing it last night when I ran out of steam.

No plans for that, sorry.

Redstone 1 is really throwing me here. There was only one Redstone, or at least, none were numbered.

Would you believe...

Not sure what you mean? I know some of the Minuteman photos I've seen have a sort of flared skirt on the bottom that I was thinking about doing, yeah.

That would pretty much just be... the Orion 50 X..L..T..S...something. And an adapter to attach to the first stage. ... and a new guidance section/fairing base... I'll think about it. ... oh god that's just a scaled up service module in the middle isn't it

Some of the Minotaur parts are now in game, still working on some more parts for the family

If I understand @msp307's question, they were asking why the in-game thrust is half of what's in the config (which seems to be for RO, judging by the fuel types)

I use Maya, most people use Blender and it's probably the better one to learn.

Unfortunately, you cannot delete my email notifications! We're not in a place to start BDB2 quite yet, but I have the Minotaur started so I may as well finish it. (For anyone else who is curious)

He's active enough that I'm sure he'll see we pinged him. EDIT: Some Minotaur updates.

Dakota - thanks for the responses. If nothing else, I hope to be able to have a continuous dialogue between devs and the modding community moving forward. I believe there was mention, years ago, about providing some sort of spec-sheet for creating parts? Offhand, things that part modders would want to know to start working: Information on the shader (ie can we start working using the Unity Standard PBR shader as a standin?) What maps are required/used (diffuse, roughness, normals, etc)? How are they organized? How do the player color palettes work? I assume there is a mask texture. What standards are in place for things like part diameters, side counts for stack parts, texel density, etc. What should we expect in terms of interiors moving forward - are IVAs expected to be integrated directly into pods' exterior models? Are windows meant to be opaque? While it's still a bit early to be trying to get large amounts of custom parts in game, those are things that would let artists start preparing assets while we wait for more information. Things like the Unity workflow, configuring the parts, and other technical gameplay things like colliders and solar panel setups can wait until a later date.

Is it the HypergolicBDB patch from BD_Extras? I believe that is maintained by @Pappystein
