It works perfect with rockets and space! I will give you link to my New Horizons RSS cinematic when it will be released on July, 14th. Improved Chase Cam and Camera Tools will be my two work horses for making movies about space exploration.

You really should check out this guy:

It should work with RSS (at least when you have RO installed): http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/93115-1-0-x-Transfer-Window-Planner-v1-3-0-1-%28May-5%29 http://abrhmsanchez.github.io/ksp/

Temeter, here is good one: http://i.imgur.com/WGOy3qT.png

Tevir this is awesome!

People do this because they want to make Apollo-style mission. You're right it's very inefficient in stock system. So you wondering why NASA did it in real life. This is very easy to explain. In real life Moon is 10 times bigger than Mun so you need ~1600m/s to make descent/ascent instead of ~700m/s, also you need 800m/s if you want go back to Earth from low Moon orbit (300m/s in stock system). With much bigger delta V numbers Apollo-style landings will be more efficient. I'm using Real Solar System mod and I can tell you that Direct style with CSM will need to build 50% heavier rocket than Saturn V.

So FASA isnt good for use in RSS then? What do you recommend? Also, RO doesnt seem compatible with 1.0.2? FASA is good, it's even one of the best mods for RSS but only after RO installation. RO will give you just realistic performance for FASA parts.

RO makes engines and tanks realistically lighter which leads to higher TWR and better wet/dry mass ratio and thus much better delta V even with low Isp. Your FASA's Apollo Nova is nowhere near real Nova rocket because it is stock config for 10x smaller planet with poor tanks and engines performance.

We don't have even color maps, only black&white.

I have the same problem so thanks in advance for solution

here is approximation of what Ceres may look like in real colors: I've found it on polish forum, hovewer it is only in poor resolution. Source: http://www.forum.kosmonauta.net/index.php?topic=123.465

@jrandom, yes it's 0.90 with RVE.

Titan II and Atlas V 552/551 : Now I've realized that 552 has never been flown One question: is there possibility to adjust gimbal range on RD-180? I manually changed it in cfg. to 3 degrees because with 8 my rocket is unflyable.

You can install DDS Converter http://www.ddsconverter.com/ It will take just 2 minutes to convert everything to PNG. @codepoet: it's for 1.0.2

I've also noticed that your paired LR87-11 is 3 times lighter than it should. http://www.astronautix.com/engines/lr8711.htm Now it is 0.75 t with ~2450kN thrust (for Titan IV) which makes far greater TWR than highest ever achieved for a rocket engine **** Another question: Are you planning to make Titan USRM for Titan IV B? Currently there is no mod and even no RO-config for those boosters.

@saabstory88 awesome! One question: why your Centaur G stages have 32t wet weight instead of 23-24t? http://www.astronautix.com/stages/centaurg.htm http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/titan4.htm http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/titan4b.htm

Saturn IB: 593t start mass 20.5t payload (200km x 200km, 28 deg) Proton M 715t start mass 22.1t payload (200km x 200km, 52 deg) Small Shuttle (no better name yet) My first shuttle ever made. It's almost SSTO which can put 13t orbiter into low orbit with 6000m/s delta V to spare. 520t core stage is using RD-171 while the orbiter is relying on single RL-10. I will probably switch to more applicative orbiter with less fuel and more place for Kerbals.

Krakenfour I don't see DDS Loader in your gamedata.

It's reference to Jool 5 Challenge.

Saturn 7 Challenge!

Yes, I've found one :http://www.nasa.gov/jpl/dawns-ceres-color-map-reveals-surface-diversity But those colours are exagerrated. I am looking for natural.

cool! BTW. Are there any colour pictures of Ceres? I mean pictures with natural colors (assumptions of what naked eye would have seen) not exxagerated to show some features.

ok, you're right but there is still no sense to use LVN with LFO if you have Spaceplane tanks. @lajoswinker really cool ship

Draining oxidizer from LFO tanks will not help much because wet mass/dry mass ratio will be still poor. Spaceplane LF tanks is now only solution for NERVA's. With LFO is better to use Poodle or Terrier.

In most cases you don't need to modding or coding. Making RO support for parts its just about making/editing .cfg files. Same story for RP-0 career mode.
