Yes - I'll post up photos of the difference between the textures on the parts and let everyone in this thread vote on which version will be the default and which will be an alternate texture pack.

After a week and a half extensively testing (sure, it's playing) 1.0, I've got a good handle on all the changes I need to complete to bring the SpaceX Launch Pack to 1.0 compatability this week. Feel free to request something to be added to this list: LazTek SpaceX Launch Pack 1.0 change log: Dragon 2 Capsule - Rebuilt without heatshield, uses new aero Dragon 2 Heat Shield - Attaches to bottom of Dragon2 Dragon 2 Nose Cone - Acts as a aero shield, uses new aero Dragon 2 Parachute - Rebuilt to fit on front of capsule as demonstrated by SpaceX on May 6, 2015 Dragon 2 Ladder - Uses new aero Dragon 2 Trunk - Acts as a aero shield, fins now provide stability, designed to launch with Dragon 2 capsule on abort, uses new aero SuperDraco Twin Engines (Attaches to Dragon V2 nacelles in two sets of two) - Reconfigured for new physics, uses new aero Dragon Nose Cone - Acts as a aero shield, uses new aero Dragon Chute - Reconfigured for new aero Dragon Solar Array - Rebuilt to be fragile without aero protection Dragon Solar Panel Cover - Acts as a aero shield, uses new aero Dragon Trunk - Acts as a aero shield, uses new aero Dragon Trunk Adapter/Decoupler - Uses new aero Falcon Remote Control - Uses new aero Falcon Upper Stage Fuel Tank - Reconfigured, uses new aero Merlin 1D Vacuum Engine - Reconfigured for new physics Falcon 9 v1.1 Interstage Fairing/Decoupler - Uses new aero Falcon Main Fuel Tank - Reconfigured, uses new aero Falcon Lower Landing Leg (Attached to Falcon first stage in a set of 4) - Reconfigured, uses new aero Falcon Upper Landing Leg (Attached to Falcon upper stage in a set of 4) - Reconfigured, uses new aero Falcon Expanded Fairing (Attached in a pair) - Acts as a aero shield, uses new aero Merlin 1D Engine Housing (Designed to be combined with nine Engine Centers to be individually controlled) - Uses new aero Merlin 1D Engine Center (Nine fit into the Merlin 1D Engine Housing) - Reconfigured for new physics Falcon Payload Bay (Optional payload protector with bay doors that open and close) - Acts as a aero shield, uses new aero Falcon Satellite Capture Frame (For use inside Payload Bay to assist with orbital capture) - Removed due to obsolescence Falcon Heavy Interstage Fairing/Decoupler - Acts as a aero shield, uses new aero Falcon Heavy Nose Cone - Acts as a aero shield, uses new aero Separation Engine (Tiny SRB to assist in first stage booster separation) - Reconfigured for new physics SHERPA Remote Satellite Launch System - Reconfigured for new physics Gridfin (Retractable control surface) - Reconfigured for new aero Small Gridfin (Attaches to Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy interstages and remote controls in sets of 4) - Reconfigured for new aero

CoP refers to center of pressure - here's an article that details its use and effects: http://www.nar.org/NARTS/TR13.html

it doesn't do anything yet - I've been waiting for the final parts of the full version 1.0 to surface before committing to anything, but you can edit the part.cfg file to work with the resource mods available. - - - Updated - - - Ok - Squad has announced that version 1.0 is in experimental phase, so I'm getting the wish list for SpaceX mods together right now. I'm working on a stock-alike texture set for everything that should be ready for the new update - what other requests are there?

Thanks for all the feedback and the posting of the new Dragon logo. I'm working on the "official" 1.0 release and appreciate everyone's help. In addition to redesigning the Dragon 2 parachute and the grid fins, I finally solved the problem of getting off Eve by creating all-electric atmospheric thrusters, which will be included in the new Exploration Expansion:

For those who dare to try... I've put a copy of the PAX East 2015 Kerbal Tournament files that Scott Manley was playing with here: http://www./download/08vrdcppwwxwcfg/PAX_East_2015_Tournament.zip

Do the ships just collapse as soon as physics kick in (right after you go to the launch pad), or after they are actually launched?

Are those of you having issues with ships falling apart using the .craft ship builds included with the mods or are you building your own? It shouldn't matter, but helps me with troubleshooting.

Obviously, I've experienced none of these problems or I wouldn't have released the mod or have been able to create the videos I've posted on YouTube, so I'm at a disadvantage because with over 40 hours of career mode play over the past weekend and today, I can't recreate ANY physics or "exploding on the launch pad" errors. I can post video to prove this, but it doesn't help those of you having issues. I am only using MechJeb and Environmental Enhancements in addition to all my SpaceX mods installed at one time. Are there other mods I should install to try to recreate these problems?

Please post which of the SpaceX mods you are using when you get errors so I can try to recreate them. I've created 4 large downloads at Kerbal@Curse to see if users like the simpler selection of downloads more: SpaceX Launch Pack by LazTek SpaceX Exploration Expansion by LazTek SpaceX Historic Archive by LazTek SpaceX Colonial Transporter by LazTek

Thanks for your comments. All my models are modeled at full scale and scaled down to 85% in each part's configuration file, resizing them for 1.25m/2.5m/3.75m/5m/7.5m diameter Kerbal standards. Whenever a part is only in a proposed state, such as the lower landing gear was for almost a year before revealed to the public, I design it myself. After the actual design is publicly known, I duplicate the real thing as closely as I can. Currently, most of the parts in the SpaceX mod kits are models of parts in use by SpaceX. Parts I designed include the Dragon Habitat and its landing legs, the Falcon Solar Panels, Mini Solar Panels, Dragon Retractable Ladder, the Falcon Upper Landing Legs, the Falcon Heavy Decoupler, the Merlin 1D Vacuum Engine with protective cowl, the Falcon Tanker, the Colonial Transporter, the Falcon XX Launch System, Colonial Laboratory, Retractable Ladder, Retractable Ramp, Large Parachutes and Colonial Transporter Landing Legs.

1. - All my parts fit the existing scales within KSP. I'm not understanding the issue you're having. 2. - You are correct. The lab simply looks cool right now and might have functionality in the future depending on what we actually get in the game from Squad in the 1.0 release. 3. - It is the same port used by the existing real life Dragon Cargo capsule, so I guess the point was to make it dock to whatever it is that the real Dragon Capsule thingy docks to when it goes into low Earth orbit. You can use a stock port if you want. 4. - I have none, whatsoever. Just a big, big fan. My mods are free, promote the world's most successful private space enterprise, profit me in no way whatsoever and Elon Musk thinks Kerbal is awesome. 5. - First try at something new. Sorry it wasn't as cool as another part you seem to like to use but that's why there are a lot of other mods to play with.

I would love to have to only post 4 mod kits instead of 12 each time a make a change. This would make the Launch Pack 95MB, the Exploration Expansion 45MB, the Historic Archive 23MB and the Colonial Transporter 79MB. Is that too much to expect everyone to want to download?

All my latest mods are now up at: [removed link to defunct website] I believe this also makes them available through CKAN, correct?

It's based on the comments Elon Musk has made over the past couple of years plus the specs listed on Wikipedia regarding the proposed Raptor engine series. I came up with my first design for the Mars Colonial Transporter about 6 months before the new Dragon V2 was unveiled to the public last year.

Which version of the Colonial Transporter do you have installed?

All the SpaceX parts kits are now available for download via Mediafire. I will also post these up to Curse later today. The Colonial Transport HD kit really uses a lot of RAM to load and usually requires that I have the medium resolution versions of the other SpaceX mods installed to operate correctly. I don't have this problem with the 64-bit or Linux versions of KSP but with the Win32 and Mac versions, I recommend using the regular resolution version of the Colonial Transporter mod. SpaceX Launch Pack HD .90 [KSP 0.90] SpaceX Launch Pack .90 [KSP 0.90] SpaceX Launch Pack LR .90 [KSP 0.90] SpaceX Exploration Expansion HD .90 [KSP 0.90] SpaceX Exploration Expansion .90 [KSP 0.90] SpaceX Exploration Expansion LR .90 [KSP 0.90] SpaceX Colonial Transporter HD .90 [KSP 0.90] Spacex Colonial Transporter .90 [KSP 0.90] Spacex Colonial Transporter LR .90 [KSP 0.90] SpaceX Historic Archive HD .90 [KSP 0.90] SpaceX Historic Archive .90 [KSP 0.90] SpaceX Historic Archive .90 LR [KSP 0.90]

Updates for the SpaceX Launch Pack HD, Exploration Expansion HD and Historic Archive HD are now available for download from MediaFire, along with my new Colonial Transporter kit: SpaceX Launch Pack HD .90 [KSP 0.90] SpaceX Exploration Expansion HD .90 [KSP 0.90] SpaceX Colonial Transporter HD .90 [KSP 0.90] SpaceX Historic Archive HD .90 [KSP 0.90]

I've finished updating and testing the high res versions of the SpaceX kits and will begin posting up the .90 updates to all the SpaceX packs later today.

I changed the design of the model due to several requests to do so. As much as I liked making the opening hatch on the Dragon V2, the "correct" way to make capsules in KSP is with a solid model for the outer view and a rendered interior for the internal view. Having a rendered interior in the main capsule model kept me from being able to render the interior of the capsule in the internal model used for cockpit views accurately and added unnecessary geometry for KSP to process. Also, the windows are now able to glow when lights are on, just like the new Kerbal spaceplane cockpits. I'm keeping the opening hatch on the DragonRider included in the Historic Archive mod, however.

I made several updates since the test version I posted last night. Here are the latest versions of the SpaceX Launch Pack HD and the SpaceX Exploration Expansion HD: LazTek SpaceX Launch Pack HD .25 test LazTek SpaceX Exploration Expansion HD .25 test

The .25 test update for the SpaceX Launchpack HD is ready for testing: https://www./?z7ly77uc3s7hh0a

I'm going to be putting up in sections what is technically the .25 update over the next couple of days here for testing, but the next official posted update here and on Curse will be exported through the Unity 4.5 engine and is intended for KSP .90 .

Yes - I think I kicked the max ISP up to 400 from 380 on the atmospheric Raptor 1A to assist making the Falcon XX an SSTO and should have just increased the fuel capacity of the main tank. I'll make those changes in the config files for those two parts but am keeping the max ISP for the Raptor 1A vacuum at 420 since SpaceX has shown a typical increase of around 12% specific impulse with the vacuum versions of their engines.
