Why they hang on to 6 spent boosters? Assuming they do (I'm not sure), I would guess safety overrides the weight in that case.

Here's a frame from one of the last H-I launches.
H22F launch in 1990.

First N-II launch.
N7F in 1981.

March 10, 2016

I just noticed something.

In Deltas that had 9 Castor-2 strap-on solids, 6 ignited at liftoff, and the other three in the air, for example: Delta 900.
Even the Japanese N-II and H-I had this 6-3 staggered start sequence for their Castor-2s.
However, all 9 separate in unison.

I don't know why, though...

March 10, 2016

Hmm... I never thought you'd feel so obligated to keep pushing towards Saturn...

March 6, 2016

I made a slight, but important fix to my Japanese Deltas picture.
See the date below the white H-I with 9 strap-ons.

Notes:
-The H-Is flew with white first stages until February 1990 (H21F), when the later H-I rockets' first stages (and interstage) were painted in a (sort of) bright brown(-ish) colour.
-The rocket on the far right is photoshopped to reflect this change, although the Cryogenic Orange texture for Procedural Parts exists.
-I, for the love of life, could not get a Procedural Fuselage Fairing (which acts as the interstage) to be painted in any colour whatsoever.
-The rockets are still WIP, albeit I'm contemplating making a separate H-I mod in the future.

the TWR on the first stage without the boosters wasn't high enough

That's the same problem I have when I fly my H-I with 6 boosters.

A stark contrast to what happened when the real H-I flew with the same amount of boosters in 1989, albeit only once.

...which it did.
To absolute perfection!

Hey, is there any chance of a fairing for Procedural Fairings being made? While the stock fairing system is okay, the mod is much more versatile. Right now some of my launchers look kind of patchwork, since resizing fairing bases isn't a thing.

I'm pretty sure BDB has Procedural Fairings.

Cus if I keep going, sooner or later I'm going to get to Saturn. And I can't let that happen.

Hmm... I never expected you to work on Saturn anyway.

At least during the mod development, BDB took the leap to provide the greatest of what it had to offer for me: RealPlume effects, and the rocket parts that I needed for my launch vehicle recreations, especially the Muo and Inon engines.

It has been a blast, and was really worth it.

Thank you.

unless you're kidding...

Umm, that works?

Yes. On my end, it worked flawlessly.

The config I gave you in the other thread will single handedly remove the smoke from all liquid engines without modification. I thought that's what you wanted.

I was not sure if it would affect ALL engines, so I pasted it in other engines' RP CFGs anyway.

February 18, 2016

A big thank you (and a shoutout) to @Jso for providing me a way to remove smoke from RealPlume engine effects.

Just post the following in a RP engine CFG

@PART[PartName]:HAS[@PLUME[PlumeName]]:FOR[zzzRealPlume]:NEEDS[RealPlume]
{
	@EFFECTS,PartName
	{
		@Alcolox-Lower-A6
		{
			!MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
		}
		@Ammonialox
		{
			!MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
		}
		@Hydynelox-A7
		{
			!MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
		}
		@Hypergolic-Lower
		{
			!MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
		}
		@Hypergolic-Upper
		{
			!MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
		}
		@Kerolox-Lower
		{
			!MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
		}
		@Kerolox-Lower-F1
		{
			!MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
		}
		@Kerolox-Upper
		{
			!MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}

			!MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
		}
		@Turbojet-Spool
		{
			!MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
		}
	}
}

Example:
Delta II RS-27 engine.

        }
        @Ammonialox
        {
            !MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
        }
        @Hydynelox-A7
        {
            !MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
        }
        @Hypergolic-Lower
        {
            !MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
        }
        @Hypergolic-Upper
        {
            !MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
        }
        @Kerolox-Lower
        {
            !MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
        }
        @Kerolox-Lower-F1
        {
            !MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
        }
        @Kerolox-Upper
        {
            !MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
        }
        @Turbofan-Spool
        {
            !MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
        }
        @Turbojet-Spool
        {
            !MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST[smoke] {}
        }
    }
}

Hello all.

I'd be glad if there was a way to remove smoke effects from liquid engines, like the one circled in red.

Tsyklon-4 recreation by me, Engines from Bluedog Design Bureau.

As in, keep the plume and flare, but remove the smoke effect via CFG editing.
All without having to go to the Smoke Screen settings in the toolbar.

To clarify, I mean in a way similar to removing the following line from an engine's CFG file (when RP is not present).

fx_smokeTrail

Did you try asking on the RP thread?

Lemme take note of that. I keep on forgetting it.

UPDATE 10.23e+009: Yes, I did.

February 18, 2016

UPDATE 10:

Still trying to figure out how I could remove smoke effects from RP engine config files without using SmokeScreen in game.

@fs10inator Looking good as always. Do you have any reference pics for the LH/ox upper stage engines I can squirrel away for when I get to it?

LE-5 engine for the H-I rocket's second stage?
