Any fix for the, for lack of a better word, "non-shininess" of the Atlas LV3 and Atlas II lower tank parts in the works? They still appear, for lack of a better word, 'matte'-like.

Just realized we're about a month and a half, plus change, away from BDB's 9th anniversary. I know the 9th isn't a big deal, that would be the 10th. But I was wondering, do you have anything planned for the 9th anniversary @CobaltWolf ?

Yes, autostruts lock up robotic parts. Setting them to grandparent should unlock them. If it doesn't, disable autostrusts entirely.

I'm not sure if IR can be substituted for BG.

Do you have BG installed? And do you have it unlocked? Do you have autostrut disabled?

Great work! Now on to the lander! Also, I wish there was a way to make robotic parts act like animations (I.e. Wheels, solar panels, etc) when robotics aren't installed. I have BG, but I know some to a lot of people don't, and thus will miss out on your great parts.

I could, but I want to keep it to 9 because Regular Delta had nine.

I have unlengthened the lengthy boy. He is now a wide boy. In other words, abandon length, embrace width. Or if you prefer another meme... You know what, forget you, unextends your Extra Extended Long Thor Delta. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

What if Saturn I had been delayed and NASA still wanted to test Apollo in orbit? Well, the only logical choice would be Titan 3D. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Looks like you have all the mods dependencies. Tons of FreeIVA nullrefs, which may be the problem, I don't know. You have the latest version, so not sure how to fix that. I don't see anything that stands out to me. Of course, I'm not an experienced bug hunter either. @Rodger might be able to help you. Oh, are you selecting an interactable IVA for Gemini and Apollo? Both come with multiple IVAs.

ModuleManager.log (Found in the Logs folder) ModuleManager.configcache (Found in your gamedata) Zip/Rar them together Then upload them to a file sharing site like Github or Dropbox or GoogleDrive. Then post a link to the download here so we can take a look.

I used the H-IIA 2024 SRBs and layout. In place of the SRB-A I used Castor 120XL and the Castor 4A-XL for the... Castor 4A-XL

Inb4 Cobalt gets 50 pings asking for Titan LRBs to be added. One of those ping hypothetically being from me... 11.5 ft? That's about 3.5 meters (Rounded down from 3.5052) or in KSP scale, 2.1875 meters. Which is actually one of the niche half size scales. Cobalt, if you actually make this, please use 2.1875. You already use the other niche sizes like 0.9375 and 1.5.

May 29th, 2030 Enter the Void ROSS Module 2, 3 and 4 Flown by Progress and Angara A7 ROSS Modules 2 (Basically Prichal), 3 (Basically an extended Pirs) and 4 (Science airlock module kind of like Nauka, but way less bulky) added to LSISS.

I'm guessing they would take the TVC tank and shove it into the Saturn I interstage and run pipes down the length of the UA booster for the Saturn INTs?

3.75m multi engine plate with a single Juno IV second stage, not Delta lol, attached to it, and then 8 Juno IV second stages surface attached, iirc, to the center Juno tank. S-IV engine mount in x4 mode with only 2 nodes populated.

My take on the Juno V featured above. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet Thirty second burn time... that's bad. lol But it still manages to get into orbit somehow...

To be fair, Thor's team rapidly expanded upon it. Stretched tanks, SRB boosters, etc. Thor's slightly smaller size also probably played a role. They could get more performance out of LR79 engine with Thor than Jupiter due to Jupiter being a tad bit wider than Thor, almost .3 meters wider, which doesn't sound like a lot, but that adds a lot of volume to the tankage. Juno IV was promising until Atlas showed up. Juno V technically was created. Saturn I is just a renamed Juno V, due to Von Braun wanting Juno V to be in differentiated from Jupiter/Juno II. Hmmm. If the Juno name was kept, what would Saturn V be as a Juno? Juno VI? Also, I found these images of Juno V considerations. It's interesting to see that they kept the 8-engine layout with all the designs. I'm guessing the F-1 wasn't even thought of at the time of Juno V's conceptualization? IDK why they didn't go with one of the two monolithic tank designs. Yes, I know why, I just don't understand why. Like, yes, you have the tooling to make the Thor and Redstone tanks, but wouldn't it cost more to go with a multi-tank design, not to mention heavier stage overall, than a monolithic tank? Sorry, tangent. Ignore everything past the IDK. Also, the clustered second tank is so Kerbal. KJR and auto-struts. And if you think the "Narhal" picture is funny, you should see the payload picture.
