  1. One other bug for your update. The Agena-IV orbit in the Gemini XII fires it out of the SOI of Kerbin due to a typo in the eccentricity! :-) Best to copy the orbital parameters from the Gemini XI cfg for Gemini XII. Cheers Cavall
  2. Hi firstly let me just say this is a great pack loving working through the 60's space program. I have found a small bug in the later Gemini missions though. In the Gemini-VIII mission the target vessel loaded OK but it didnt show for Gemini-IX. A quick bit of investigating showed that all the later mission Gemini-IX through Gemini-XI had an extra set of brackets in the ORBIT section of the config: ORBIT { { SMA = 705197.178599656 ECC = 6.00734955401844729 INC = 1.00172901748170448 LPE = 178.344718230958 LAN = 326.686242498989 MNA = 5.0835400450637 EPH = UniversalTime() REF = 1 } } Removing the duplicate set and reloading solved this for me. The pack was downloaded via CKAN and is version 1.5.0. Hope that helps
  3. This is a terrific mode and really brings the historical missions pack to life. Its not a resource hog like some other mods and all the parts are easily identified and well described. Great work! I have noticed a small error that is easily corrected. In the mod the Atlas rocket has the middle sustainer engine at approximately twice the thrust of the two booster engines. The magnitude of the ratio is correct but the wrong way around. According to several sources on the web the booster engines are each about twice as powerful as the central sustainer engine. To correct this and keep the overall thrust levels the same (which seem about right) I tried the following change to the config files: Main sustainer engine thrust 140 kN Booster engine thrust 300 kN each. The total thrust is 740 kN or about half what it is in reality (as it was before). These numbers have worked for me when testing with satellites and the Mercury capsule. A first stage sep at about 2 minutes give a TWR of about 1.
