RSS is usually a version behind stock KSP so it may take few months at least....

Crafts are made mostly from Procedural Parts and Procedural Wings.

There are few better engines: - Russian engines used on Fregat and Briz-M with 327 s of isp. - Aestus II - 340 s of isp - Bell Model 8096L with 324 s of isp - with that one you can use default tank instead of service module which will contribute to higher delta V number. - Procedural SRBs with isp of 305 s can be very efficient for very small upper stages (50-150 kg). In fact the smallest LEO launchers can be made only with SRBs.

McLaren MP4 from early 90's?

Yep, SRBs are very unbalaced in RP-0 and NK-33 on the other hand are absurdally cheap (but also very unreliable if you play with TestFlight). If you want I can give you a link to my updated RP-0 tree with modified costs for SRBs and various LFB's to make them much more balanced. For instance NK-33 are two times more expensive in my installation (and they're still very cheap for their performance) while SRBs are 2-3x less expensive on average. After my changes SRBs are one of the the most cost efficient as a first stage, while being crappy as a second and third stage.

Funfact about my Saturn IB. It was built in December 2014 for KSP 0.90 and 3,5 years later it still works without any problem: Few other vehicles were built in early 2015: Proton, entire Atlas family, Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. All of them work fine in 1.2.2.

What laptop do you have?

I increased max temp values for Procedural Fairings so now they can work as a heatshield, at least for Mars landings: Regarding landing gears I have RO/RP-0 configs for Adjustable Landing Gears which are now a part of Kerbal Foundries.

I mean the real VAB located in Florida

What is the height and width limit for rockets built in the KSC?

Few questions regarding solid fuel: 1. What are ISPs of solid motors used in various missiles? Are they as good as for solid rockets used in launch vehicles (230-260 of specific impulse at the surface)? Or maybe significantly worse? 2. What type of solid fuel was used in ABM Sprint Missile or russian Gazelle? 3. Do you know what HNIW or NGNC is? Are they some exotic types of solid fuel? I've found config for them inside RO gamedata folder with note that they're extremely expensive but didn't find any information using Google or Ignition book.

1. Pre-cooler does nothing in RO, you don't have to use it. 2. where did you find config for that direct cycle? With engine mass of 6,8 t and atmospheric TWR of 14 I've managed to put 12 t into low orbit. With 7,4 t that would be 10,8 t.

I've looked at these paper again and I think that RO treats nacelle, inlet and bypass as a part of the engine so the actual mass should be around 7400 kg.

Valentina switched to a much faster model:

Since we seem to be on the subject of pale blue planes, here is my F4F Wildcat:

I think much less than 20t since larger reactor would have better power to weight ratio.

F-16 MiG-21 A-10 SR-71 Blackbird B-52 Stratofortress

F-15 and Su-47:

Very average one. You just won't get as good performance as on a stock install.

Another pic of Tu-160 Tu-95. It uses the same cockpit (modeled after E-2 Hawkeye) as Tu-160, combined with rescaled cockpit from B-17.

You can also use MJ which will show you delta V losses due to drag and gravity, like on the picture below:

It can lift 1 thousand tons rather than 1 million...
