I wouldn't call it an application. I mostly just guessed at most of the numbers. But I am doing more testing, and I'll have updated configs for you shortly - for one thing, the IntakeAir PROPELLANT module needs to have ingnoreForIsp = true, or KER says the engines will fly for over a day on 100 LiquidFuel. You're completely welcome to use them. EDIT: Here are the test results! https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xrJ620P0biSLHgooT8jvwvXQ9LQ8kr2x9mdZgZNdgfU The Radial, Marlin, and Whirlwind testbeds were all identical except for the engines themselves, and the Juno testbed was set up from the same parts (plus NCS adapter and Small Nose Cone) configured in a low dual wing-mounted configuration like the Me 262.

I've just made some configs for these engines, based off of the KAX radial prop, which I also boosted to a static thrust of 60 to maintain it's power superiority, as it's the Double Wasp equivalent. I lowered the static thrust of the Marlin to match the old KAX radial number, 52, but gave it a superior "supercharger" to maintain the greatest power-to-weight ratio of all three engines at medium to high altitudes, although it falls to zero at the highest altitudes faster than the others due to their "turbosuperchargers" (I based this on P-47 vs P-38 and P-51 data).

The velocity curves are identical to the KAX radial for now, just assuming that curve has a good approximation of the difficulties propellers have when approaching supersonic speeds. I also changed the flavor description text to reflect what I did with the atmospheric curve, and the kinds of super- and turbo-charging those WW2 engines used. I haven't touched anything like costs or the sound issue yet.

I'm currently running OPM with @Proot's texture and Kopernicus enhancements of the stock system (KSPRC). It makes all the planets look about the same (high) quality. I've been watching the development of @GregroxMun's Revamped Stock System with great interest as well. So far I'm not sold on all his changes to the positions of the various planets, but they certainly look amazing.

Hey there @linuxgurugamer! I posted a few months ago that I would try this out with Kerbal Konstructs, and so I have been. They seem to work well together, which one exception - I cannot start a simulation from anywhere but the KSC launchpad and runway. I'd like to be able to simulate from the various KerbinSide runways, but this does not seem to be possible. Am I derping somewhere, or is this just how KRASH is going to work?

Hey @MasseFlieger, I was just thinking about your question from a few weeks ago about switching the IVA of the parts through tweakables. Have you asked @blowfish, who is maintaining B9 Aerospace, and therefore B9PartSwitch, about that possibility? It seems to be the more robust of the "change things through config files and tweakables" dlls.

Well, to get my KSP to run quickly (~80-100% physics time) on my potato laptop (it was near top-of-the-line five years ago ), I installed KSPRC then had to remove Scatterer and everything EVE related. I also got rid of all the new part textures and some of the suits to save RAM, as I am using a TextureReplacer suit pack I downloaded somewhere and now cannot find to check for updates. (sadface)

Hello, everyone, I'm looking for a specific suit texture pack. I've looked for it throughout this thread but found nothing. It was mostly white and blue, and the most distinctive thing it came with was an IVA suit for Scientists that made them look like they had a lab coat and tie on underneath the space suit. It was super classy. Does that ring a bell with anyone?

I squee'd.

You da best, Esk. We know you're busy - thanks for all the hard work!

Have you asked in the RPM thread? @MOARdV is usually good about responding to questions.

Great mod. Also have to like your post for the mention of Sir Terry. (RIP)

Are you using a science rebalance mod like Science Revisited Revisited or SETI / Unmanned Before Manned? It may be that the rebalance is configured to change the stock instruments but doesn't change the DMagic / US version.

Is it possible something you could do with Unity using MODEL nodes the way parts packs like KSPX are made, or how the UbioZur welding mod used to work? I don't know if Props work at all in the same way, though.

The creativity and ingenuity of the people on this board never ceases to amaze me.

2300, gosh. Seems like someone could kitbash those large numbers of nonfunctional switches together into single part panels to save on that. Otherwise, it looks amazing.

My favorite mod for stock IVAs is @MasseFlieger's ModifiedIVA

Seems a little bare so far, but I look forward to the final version!

What would be the difficulty of making a funding config that depended on activating a certain strategy from the Administration Building, especially using something like Strategia?

I agree, especially if you use KopernicusExpansion to add a cometary tail to Minmus!

Wow, @Sterbehilfe there are a lot of sounds from Alien in there.

Awwww, yeah.

For RSS, you'll probably want RVE:

I do not currently have any of the SXT propellers installed, no. I do have the large cargo aircraft from SXT.

Hello, @inigma, Contract Configurator is saying there's a problem with your contract pack. Here's the error: And the log: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6ZYgATQfNhBcUJlWGlEdkR2a0k
