@benjee10 Have you considered revisiting the FAR-compatible tail and rudder?

To get the letters on the payload bay doors, you must put the conformal decals just under where you want them, and then use the offset tool to move them up. It can be a bit tricky, but that's how it's done.

Other way around. Ap is always higher than the Pe. If you are using Rocket Motor Menagerie, Photon Corp and ORANGES, I would suggest using a 0.3 deg/sec turn.

For anyone who uses Photon Corp with SOCK: Which is the better thrust profile to use (obviously not the flat one)?

@benjee10I realize it's been a bit since my original post regarding this, but I wanted to clarify my question about the rudder, since I know you are planning a final update to SOCK. A while back, there was discussion about the shuttle's tail not playing nicely with FAR, and you mentioned the possibility of splitting the model of the vertical stabilizer/rudder into separate parts to enable FAR to treat them properly. Is that still on the table, or will that have to wait till we get SOCK for KSP2? If it's not on the table, has anyone found a good workaround for using the shuttle with FAR?

Look on wikipedia. Use your best judgment and build it.

Crew arm > beanie cap > intertank access arm > ROFIs (the tail service mast "Activate Engine") > everything else. Smartparts and AGX can be used to make a timed GLS and RSLS.

it also helps to have VAB reorienter.

This is looking quite good. I'm already using this for my shuttles. I like how I can make nearly all the variations of the ET for the various shuttle missions.

For those of you who want it: https://github.com/Crzyrndm/DynamicControls/ This allows the SSMEs to retain roll control during launch.

Has anyone discovered the optimal rescale values for the Cormorant payload assets to fit in the SOCK payload bay?

@Jacktical What ReShade/TUFX settings/profiles do you use?

@benjee10 Is the revised rudder model you mentioned a while back available, or will it be a KSP2 thing?

Any chance of a toasty Columbia texture? I know KSP2 is about to drop, but it would still be nice.

I have found luck using Dynamic Controls as well. It makes maneuvers smoother.
