One thing kept bothering me about photos and movies of Apollo, I just realised the capsule was covered completely by the LES, see here On the ground the capsule looks white, but in space it is always silver. I never realised the LES had a boot that fit over the capsule. Command Sevice Module

I think your CSm is slightly long, meaning you are making the bell to big, looks good though!

Scatterer not only does light scattering, but eclipses, lens flares and makes a very pretty ocean, above and below water (though until Blackrack gets the new version out, best to leave the ocean settings turned off, to avoid tileitis)

As suggested I used EVE clouds and scatterer to do this, If you enlarge the volumetric clouds by huge amounts and bring them down to the surface, you essentially get fog, I sped mine up to simulate wind, and then played with the ocean settings to get waves and foam

Just letting you know, this works fine with KSP 1.1.3 (with the adjustments made in the above comments), it does not work in newer versions. The problem is in the part_dict.py file, I believe the parts configs in KSP have changed, throwing the program off.

It's going to be a difficult one because of all the bright colors that you can't replicate, and fairly generic underlying design, I was not ware of this tv program, though I watched Thunderbirds a lot when I was a kid

Nice, it's a lot more detailed than mine! You should have an open categroy, for wheeled vehicles that maintain contact with the ground.

I doubt anyone's looking at this anymore because it's so old Here is the link in the OP Quoting the original content won't convince anyone your not cheating, just include screenshots with the resources tab open and if they are your designs the craft files.

They have a very low impact speed (15ms), so craft tend to destroy them on landing, mk3 fuselages are 50ms

Wing parts won't work on the deck, but it looks good!

I also think the ailerons should not be doing pitch, as it's not a delta wing with elevons, and it already has elevators, ailerons are for roll, the inboard flaps are deployed or not deployed?

Saturn V is progressing

Brilliant

Led Zeppelin? Playing with KVV

@linuxgurugamer another fantastic mod saved, I want to bear your children! If I wasn't a man of attractiveness best left undescribed. Edit: Oh the title of the thread still says 1.2.1

If there wasn't such a kink in the gull wing, this would be very close

So after finishing my first Apollo style mission, for years, last night, I managed everything but the LEM CM rendezvous without autopilot help, and I am happy with that after a year of not playing. I am not interested in practising for hours to be as good at rendezvous and docking as the computer when IRL a computer would do it anyway. Interesting scatterer effects (un-updated version) at landing. Whole mission was completely overengineered. Took off on LEM base and made it almost back to orbit before having to dump it, with 2 TWR on takeoff! I had some ideas for improvements after the mission as the LEM did not look much like the Apollo LEM, it did not even have a ladder, I just jumped back. Way too much of everything. So here is my new LEM 8.3t, 73 parts, 2 crew, with enough DV I hope for landing and return, I can probably shave another 1t by making the bottom of the base out of the same wing parts as the top. Looks much more LEM like. I thought about using command seats, but getting them in and out would have been a PIA

You probably need to post in the challenge thread, not the craft file thread, there is a link

Everything in SVE apart from scatterer is updated for 1.3, but scatterer works fine with only the occasional weird event. It's hard to describe the eerie sci-fi vibe I got when I was landing on The Mun and these tiles silently lifted up and floated gently away, it was like reliving 2001 a space odyssey. Sometimes I want Blackrack to keep some of these things as Easter eggs. Except I know someone would come in here and complain in a rude way making Blackrack less likely to want to contribute to our enjoyment of the game.

Thanks your a champion

Hey Majorjim, can you fix the imgur albums and duplicate the youtube video with a version without the soundtrack (blocked in Australia), I want to suck the knowledge from your mind!

Wondering why I could not see The Mun

Brushing up on some rusty skills with a Saturn V analogue

So not a call to update, but you have updated SVE and it recommends installing this, but this warns about wrong version, I think it all works correctly though, probably just a config file change for new version.

It was not right, I started working on a replacement
