Alright everyone, I'm about done working for today, but me and @Beale are going to try and play some Age of Empires on Stream. Starting in a couple minutes!

Apollo CSM modeling stream starting now!

Uh hey everyone I'm alive And I'm going to try and dev stream both days this weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to start getting a little momentum back. I also might try and play Age of Empires II with @Beale on stream one of the two days so swing by for that. Focus this weekend will probably be blocking out the model for the new Apollo CSM.

Yeah I think what it was, originally I assumed the Agena B had a tank length between the A and D? And so I just made one - I think there were only actually 3 lengths of tank, just multiple skins. Eventually it turned out there was only two lengths, which is what I made in the remake. It crossed my mind to remake the middle tank length but I think I didn't have time or the model didn't lend itself to being cut up that way or whatever. And yeah, I totally can see how the other menus are useful. I usually don't have to use them since I know what 'simple' tab to look for everything in But that also means I wasn't looking in there to notice the old parts still showing up. Like Zorg said, the most recent update was sort of start/stop developed over a year with all of us having variable time to commit to the mod. We mean well but there's a lot that can slip through the cracks.

Overall the number of parts grew, but that's why we started using the B9 part switches more to merge simpler parts when possible. Generally it was less stripping content and more just a restructuring of how things are built. I think I see the fairing base, two rows above the cardboard box. (Is that the AKI one I made years ago? I'm pretty sure that mod stopped being supported when Breaking Ground released) And wouldn't the avionics be in the uh. Pods tab? The one with the probe cores (since that's what it is). Again, curse my lack of actually playing KSP these days, I didn't catch that Command and Control meant the RCS tab.

Oh derp I didn't even notice that

In response to the first - no, that is correct. There are fewer Belle tanks than before but I think the mod has more 0.9375m tanks as a whole now. Not every part received a 1:1 replacement in the update, for a variety of reasons. In this case I think it was simply that there were only two historical tank lengths. The new parts don't automatically replace the old ones (since we had to leave the old ones in to not break old crafts). You need to rebuild the crafts using only the new parts. By viewing in the "advanced" mode (is that what the other sorting methods are called? I've never really used them), you've exposed something that we were unaware of - the old deprecated / hidden parts are still showing up there. They shouldn't be used and any crafts using them should be replaced if possible, since those parts will eventually be deleted and the crafts will stop loading. The parts should (in theory) have their status clearly stated in their names/descriptions in case you run across them. The fuel tanks tab in your last screenshot looks correct (I think), are you sure the new versions of the avionics and fairing base aren't showing up?

Really? They are all showing up in this screenshot: But you are saying they're not showing up in the default categories? edit: also, for those keeping score at home, this morning my car battery died :')

Try just searching Belle or Agena. From the BDB wiki:

Well as of this morning, it looks like our render farm burnt out before I did... %!#@

Skwoooooood Also, as Pappystein has noted several times recently on the thread, apologies for the lack of progress everyone. I've basically been working 10+ hour days every day since... Thanksgiving or so. Weekends included

What's the difference?

I'd also note that BDB's Saturn and Apollo parts are on the table to be redone right now; unfortunately real life has been keeping me busy so there hasn't been progress in a month or so. Won't be released for a while yet.

Quoting from the FAQ in the first post (not trying to be terse, just saving myself time )

*plugs ears* (in all seriousness, I have been working 60+ hours a week for my real job the last 2-3 weeks and will continue to be so for a bit longer. I'm sure the other devs are keeping busy though...)

Perhaps more appropriate than you know... From "Lunar Impact" Ch3: From Ed Kyle's Space Launch Report: Wow, that's beautiful! :O Looks great! I'll see what else I can dig up

Alright, one more stream (for now - I have to go back to my job tomorrow! ), let's see how much more Saturn we can get modeled.

Ended a little early for me, but still got a good bit done! Some serious progress on the S-1B and S-IV stages!

Not sure what you mean? Booting the stream back up for day 2! Working on the S-1 and S-IV stages today! Here's some WIP shots from yesterday's stream:

Alright - here we go! Saturn V development stream! Focusing today on the S-1C and S-II

Not doing IPP, too much new hardware. I'd rather focus on stuff that adds more legoing opportunities to the parts I'm already making. For ex eventually I'd like to do LM variants. Yeah, it's coming, probably with some more sensible paint/color schemes. Probably just a variant of the S-1E (Saturn 1C) tank. I don't know yet, starting off we're mostly going to be focusing on revamping the existing parts, only new ones will be ones either needed to be more accurate or ones that are "low hanging fruit"... I'm probably going to try and do LDC-style variants for the S-IVB engine mount, for example. I believe so. There is a Github issue listed, but I don't know all that Zorg is interested in doing (and of course, sometimes you don't get to everything you want since other projects take your attention) If anyone hasn't seen it, there is a public google doc for collecting ideas (never assume I've seen every proposal, or at least that its still on my radar if I have ). It's editable by anyone but I ask that you all be considerate to myself and each other (please don't delete or edit other people's entries, for ex), and that you carefully read to make sure you're not repeating things. Link to doc.

I'm not planning on doing Saturn C-8. There's actually a reason past "it's ugly" (it is) - it would require a lot of single-use parts in new sizes that would only really be useable to build... well, Saturn C-8. I'd rather do uprated Saturn V variants and such like that, which would be lego'able to make lots of new crafts. On that note - my partner is working at the hospital Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'm planning on trying to stream Saturn development at least two of them, not sure which or if I'll just do all three. Will keep y'all posted.

It's just a Scout right? That's already in the mod.
