    I can modify the SRB Hold-Down to be like the new General one, but that's it. SOCK works well enough with the base as it is, there are just some cosmetic differences.

    The SRB hole is too small so you have to move the pad way too far down which makes the Orbiter too high for the Tail Service Mounts to reach it


  2. Skylab 10 | SLM-9 | TRS-3 | STS-12| - December 17 - 24, 1983

    Ending the year with the start of Reuse Phase 3 and the anticipated higher flight rate of 1984 and beyond has many excited about the future of Skylab and the STS program. Today, STS-12 will conduct ATM solar inspections, an EVA to retract the two forward ATM (Apollo Telescope Mount) solar panels which allows clearance for PM deployment on Skylab 11 which is scheduled for launch in February 1984, TRS-3 stow for docking with PM, and system checkouts for future kit installations.

  3. Skylab 9 | SLM-8 | STS-9 | Spacelab-1 - August 23 - 31, 1983


    Crew:
    Commander: John Young
    Pilot: Robert Gibson
    Mission Specialist 1 Robert L. Stewart
    Mission Specialist 2: Owen Garriott  
    Payload Specialist 1: Ulf Merbold 
    Payload Specialist 2: Bryon K. Lichtenberg


    Orbiter:
    OV-102 | Columbia


    Launch pad:
    LC-39A


    Columbia is set to start her first normal scheduled stay at Skylab and the final mission of Skylab Reuse Phase 2 with Phase 3 beginning in 1984. During this historical mission, the Columbia crew will carry out Spacelab experiments, three EVAs if possible,  ATM solar inspection for the upcoming crew of Skylab 10, and evaluate compatibility with Skylab for the future module planned in Phase 3.  Additionally, this will also be the first flight of an ESA astronaut and the reusable laboratory Spacelab which will mark a significant boost in the European space sector. Sadly, this will be John Young's final spaceflight, a true legendary pioneer in our space program.

  4. Skylab 8 | SLM-7 | STS-6 - June 7 - 12, 1982
    Back To Back



    Crew
    Commander: Paul J. Weitz

    Pilot: Rober F. Overmyer
    Mission Specialist 1: Joseph P. Allen
    Mission Specialist 2: Norman Thagard

    Orbiter:
    OV-099 | Challenger

    Today, Challenger the sister Orbiter to Columbia is ready for her maiden flight and a back to back Skylab mission, a first since the Apollo days. STS-6 will consist of two main goals with one to deploy TDRS-1 (Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System) which will provide future constant communications with Skylab to NASA compared to the current short communication system that depends on the location of the Orbiter. The second goal will be to deploy SPPT (Solar Panel Prototype) which is a solar panel testbed for the future Power Module built by Lockheed which is nearing completion with launch slated for 1984. Even with the modifications done on Challenger there have been talks stirring up about the possibility to stop painting the External Tank to help with weight reduction after STS-6.

    I think the latest KSRSS Reborn (as of https://gitlab.com/ksrss/KSRSS/-/commit/79108ac108493ba1834209c3314065f35b6fa686) on Sep 5th 2022, changed the name of "Earth" to "Kerbin" so Parallax would work. However this breaks this mod if you've downloaded KSRSS Reborn from gitlab since then and are only using V1.0 of this mod from the releases on GitHub.

    I believe using the master branch direct will fix it.

    • If you only see the map, with the KSC on, but no other KK statics, as @Fabled_Mikehas mentioned then you'll likely have this problem.
    • Check the file GameData/KSRSS/Configs/03_Earth/03_Earth.cfg - if it says "Body { name = Kerbin" near the top, then you'll need the master branch of this mod.

    V1.0 is for older KSRSS which is why it isn't supported. the master branch is for KSRSS Reborn

    I saw a comment by @CobaltWolf a while ago (5-10 pages back, maybe more?) saying he added color variants for the handles on the Apollo CSM decoupler and service module. It would be cool if that color switch also applied to the docking port please 

    visual aid included

    edit, black bar version maybe as well? just a suggestion

    This is the best post i have ever seen here
