Not sure how long I'll be going for, but I'm streaming more work on the LM variants.

Maybe I should add covers to the windows on the exterior, since otherwise they wouldn't be visible...

This is it in the dormant/landed state, with insulation (or at least, shades) over the docking port and RCS. It will just be a toggleable animation.

Mostly stuff to prepare it for the thermal environment that it would go through with a mission that long. Radiators, insulating blankets, an RTG with heat piping. Just trying to keep everything at a consistent temperature. All this stuff is still in flux, but you can see the progress on it here:

idk lol but that's definitely but I've been calling it in my head. It's just from one of the artworks and I thought it was cool.

More progress on LM variants. Lab, taxi, shelter. Truck still TBD.

I'll have to remember that, a few people have commented on the CM getting thrown around in the water. So uh, no pics of the LM Taxi? Here, have an LM Lab battery instead.

Who wants to make an LM Taxi with me? https://www.twitch.tv/cobaltwolfy

Am I right in reading in your edit that you fixed it? Any insight into the issue? I'm not sure if our tweakscale configs are working but those numbers sound like they're not reporting correctly. The size should be (and default to) 4.25m for the S-IVB. Though as GoldForest noted, you're using the wrong mount. If I had to guess, they probably solicited both Grumman and North American for ways to reuse existing hardware. Same as there being MOLABs that use the LM and CM, and orbital labs based on both modules being considered. And then, usually, they also solicit proposals from other sources which is where you get the new-build (usually cylindrical in some way) modules.

People always say to take a well earned break after a release, it's funny because I feel like we get demotivated near the end of every release and finally being able to work on new stuff guilt-free is a huge inspiration boost. Anyways, couldn't let Invader and Zorg have all the fun...

Oh, looks like we never deprecated the old one. I'll take another look at it soon. If I remember, I never designed it with the intention of having it stage off the Agena. It's meant to serve as a support for the strap-on tanks. I can see about adjusting the colliders some time.

I haven't started on any work for the next update except messing around with some very rough LM variants. I'm not sure if Atlas is still a priority, Zorg's call. I don't think anyone mentioned a Titan revamp? There's none planned unless someone was doing some small touchups to bring the textures up to date. Nah half the motivation for kicking the release out is to be able to work on new stuff without being guilty about how much was sitting in development. We got plans. Not sure what yet though.

Yes, but Big G post dates Apollo. It was designed as a replacement, not a competitor. Well, I guess it was a competitor but you get my point.

Off the cuff? Sigma. Relates to Mercury, and it's like the sum of the knowledge gained from experience on Mercury and Gemini...

I was going to try and get the release album together to share but I uh... haven't. Keep this stuff coming, most of the values for weight and cost and stuff like that were never adjusted as configs were duplicated+modified.

Oh my god I missed the 1000th page...

!@$&?*#

Pretty much anything after the initial production run of 15 (?) Saturn Vs, at least that was my understanding

Ah, yes. That happens when the person making it is dumb and doesn't think ahead at all

Invader asked me about the texture for the feetshield so I assume yes What errors? That's not a lot of information to go on.

I know RogerWang just got back from conscription, so work will be resuming on it sooner than later. I thought @EStreetRocketswas really into NLS For my 2c, I don't have any plans for stuff outside Apollo/Saturn moving forward. Not to say other stuff won't happen, but it's not on my personal radar.

My day is ruined. ... j/k, thanks for the heads up. I thought I'd gone out of my way to ensure that wouldn't happen, since the pixel aliasing makes it way more obvious than it should be. It's an easy enough fix. That looks dope, great use of the new parts!

Very nice build! I always thought the ETS Delta 4000 was constant 10ft diameter tho? It definitely made the engines hard to fit when I made a test part a year or two ago, though...

It looks like an installation issue. Did you: make sure to delete the old Bluedog_DB folder before installing the apollo-saturn-revamp? That's my guess for why the S4_AdapterTank isn't showing up. You can also try typing "S4" in the search bar, to double check. Remove all files that may have come from BD_Extras? (The Realnames config should be fine, it just tells it to use a different set of lines for the name/description) If you have the old Saturn Rescale patch, that might be the reason for the S-IVB interstage nodes being messed up Make sure you have B9PartSwitch and the other dependencies installed? that's my guess for the S-II Interstage being messed up. I think I can see all the different meshes active at once, which usually means B9 is missing
