    Launch window has been adjusted. The window now opens at 8:29pm ET and lasts 5 minutes. 5 minutes won't be enough if they need to scrub a first launch attempt less than 8 minutes away from launch. Source: https://twitter.com/ORBCOMM_Inc/status/678986636508688384

    Yes...I simply can't stop laughing when I think of this

    Thank you! :)) Yeas, I didn't really have time for that. But it's my fault, I wanted to have it out before RTF from the day I started with it, so yeah (And it worked out, yay! )But it's really time for me to do play KSP "normally" again. ^^

    I've used Open Broadcaster software (it costs nothing) and I used movie maker for cutting.

    @ReventonHawx Yes, the grid fins in real life are working a bit different than these here. First of, they deploy and then individually pivot up or down, where we can only deploy them (-> Airbrake) or leave all undeployed and then pivot them out. And yes, they also provide roll control. Though unfortunately, this can't be done in KSP right now, so I had to add simply a roll torque for it. Yes, I'll be waiting with F9 FT upgrades for my rocket a little while. I don't think that they are using any 1.1 hardware anymore on F9 FT. I believe they've made some changes to the landing legs, and tgey would definetely fly these on this mission, since it's their first RTLS attempt. I bet the landing legs will stay white, since the falcon on spacex.com is inly an artistic impression. The f9 1.1 was also shown with a black interstage there, so I wouldn't really trust the site renders. It's just a visualization.

    Soso. Landing is always a secondary goal, sure. This is the proof. Orbcomm must be very patient and also eager to see the booster landing to accept this. Maybe 10% increase in successful landing, but also increase in weather being worse than today, and we had perfect weather today. Well then

    Hahahaha what a bug! :DDD

    I've made a video about SpaceX's today's Orbcomm-2 mission. It is not 100% accurate but it provides a nice overview of the mission: @SQUAD Maybe something for video wednesday? :)))

    6h to livestream start. And yeah, for me the launch is at 2.29am.
  13. Kartoffelkuchen
    Alright thanks @saabstory88!

    Yes I know. When I made Falcon 9 1.1 FT, there were no images of it available. I've used spaceflight101.com as my main source for the FT, there it said that there were 4 attachment points. I will change this, along with some other changes. And generally, there's a bigger difference between F9 1.1 and 1.1 FT from the outside than I expected. I'll adjust F9 1.1 FT once more images will be relased.

    Seems like we have FAA approval for RTLS! Actually, we HAVE clearance from FAA for RTLS!

    And remember, it's center of mass will be pretty low anyway. The wind would have to be really strong to make it fall over, so it's very unlikely I guess. And yeah, page 100! :party:
  17. Kartoffelkuchen
    Yes, seems to be so @Elthy @YoetoJoe nasa won't stream I guess, they have nothing to do with that mission. It will be streamed on apacex.com though as usual.
  18. Kartoffelkuchen
    Seems like the people here in Germany can also watch the launch live on YouTube. They already "announced" the stream on YT.

    Great that everything seems to work now! Thank you, it was quite a bit of effort (I started on this 1 month and 5 days ago ). Delta IV next (with next I mean that I will start working on it now, though I guess it will take quite a bit of time to finish. But this time it will be released, not like the last time I worked on it). Will be working on Atlas V at the same time too. But first, I will take a little break from modelling stuff, and pick it up again in the new year. Creating the Falcon's was pretty intense.

    You need to download this plugin I unfortunately forgot to include it, it *fixes* the aerodynamic behaviour of the fairings, and you also need the Old School Fairings plugin, as it says in the OP.
  21. Kartoffelkuchen
    @mark7 FAR is not supported. At last I didn't test it with FAR. @sciencepanda just make a small MM-patch. I will link your strongback in the OP once you got it fitting nicely. And please, stay on topic now.
  22. Kartoffelkuchen
    Not included. Maybe I'll add it, maybe not. I will do a break now, enjoying actual playing KSP again. And doing other stuff.
  23. Kartoffelkuchen
    Yes.
  24. Kartoffelkuchen
    Also, the turbopump exhaust goes into the nozzle, while on merlin 1d it ends next to the nozzle. Check a youtube video of a falcon launch, and wait until the second stage kicks in.
  25. Kartoffelkuchen
    Static fire should be right now. No launch on the 19th https://twitter.com/StephenClark1/status/677962578547613696
