  1. Ah, that old, retread of a fallacy in the making. That proposal was before Centaur-a's flight and explosion... Back when they thought you could contain the vapor pressure of the Hydrogen because you know in space there is no heat.... The latter, more-realistic proposals are Gemini Capsule +2 in series Transtages. Or, believe it or not, a duplicated Titan 2nd stage with an LR87 single bell (that was only mentioned in passing I have never found actual documents describing it better than that)
  2. But but but.... Bwanananananananaaaa *6 Million dollar man sounds* Agreed, it would actually break the feel of the whole mod and require EVERY texture be redone.. Given your IRL work and life takes much more of your time today then it did when you were a slacker getting a degree in Uni, there is no need to waste the time. And having some things in pure "American" (sorry we don't speak English in the US... or my former work vehicle would be a Lorry not a Van, I would put the groceries in the boot instead of the trunk.) Or Russian... well it would break immersion for me.
  3. True, But I think the original concept was for NOT THEM But rather the people who want to abuse the game (and there are a lot of people like that out there. See any cursed, not an irl concept/designed rocket for a good example **YES I AM MOSTLY JOKING HERE Dont @ Me**
  4. See SOME of us are not just pretend Rocket Scientists! Or Rocket Engineers, Or Rocket Fabricators, Or Rocket Mechanics!
  5. The Russians Engines are coming to take me away, Haha, they´re coming to take me away, Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha, To the happy home with Atlas' and stars And chirping birds and basket weavers Who sit and smile and Twiddle their thumbs and toes And they´re coming to take me away, HAHAAAAAAAAA *based on the 1966 song by "Napoleon XIV" Aka Jerry Samuels; They're comming to take me away! Joking aside This stuff looks Great Zorg!
  6. Depth-masking won't work since the Door for the gear well is part of the gear. It would break the (I assume) already done annimations
  7. Other than ONE suggestion of an additional non X-15 part to interface with part of the X-15? I think you are go for launch FULL SEND The suggested part is a 0.9375-1.25m re-sizable cone, angle matched to the X-15 nose probe, that terminates in the correct diameter for the nosecone. Would allow other rockets to use that 2 part Nose-cone / Probe core (If I am remembering the correct part you referenced.) Cone should color switch the same colors as X-15. Yes extra work but rather low hanging fruit given the plethora of other similar structures made in the past I would think.
  8. Decidedly Saturn S-1B flyback booster territory here 8 seconds of thrust up, fly back to the runway
  9. Ok, Need to vent (rough work day and it just started!) X-15 on an N-1 X-15 as ISS single crew Escape pod X-15 in BDA-armory as a Point defense interceptor (Shooting 20mm cannons at mach 15) X-15 as a return from Mun capsule on Apollo Saturn MLV Cluster X-15 as flyback booster for Saturn IB X-15 as X-1 carrier aircraft (Tarobee mod yes?)
  10. WAIT WAIT WAIT WOT! LANDING GEARS! Who gave you permission to make LANDING GEARS OK Joking aside (and probably an inside joke to many people reading this now-a-days) This looks Effing AWESOME! Love the work. Now B-70 Carrier when?
  11. I believe it is Fictional but based on real hypothetical discussions on how to increase thrust for Rocket. A road not traveled
  12. Yes that is the preferred way... with either the X-15A-2 or A-3. I have a piece of artwork but the rights on it kinda prevented me from posting it. And in case you all haven't noticed.... XB-70 has 10 wheels and a 50,000+ lb payload Kenworth Semi-Truck has 10 wheels and a 50,000+ lb payload.... Yep, B-70 is my next semi truck!
  13. Wow that was a long time ago but during the build stream for Atlas (miss those days) it was decided that since it was balloon and you IRL couldn't attach to it without some insane weirdness that you wouldn't be able to in the game either.
  14. It's sad that one of the pilots of this aircraft died mid-airing into my Semi-truck.... err avatar I am pretty certain that if you get a picture of that from a different angle you can see that the center engine is literally some of the First gen slab sided XLR-89 bells cut and spliced together it isn't a LR-105 (telling is the flat shelf just below the skirt)
  15. The only way it would be worth it is if you were doing the RZ.1 or RZ.2 for the Bluestreak as it would be the same model
  16. Honestly it depends on the Source. I know in every source I have and have written it is nm or nM not nmi But I also know "public friendly" sources that do nMile or N-Mile, IE places where they talk about Statute miles as miles instead of Statute Miles and please never abbreviate Statute miles as smile
  17. Direct Download and install from Github<=>Spacedock.info>>>>>>> CKAN >>>>>>> Curseforge>>>>>>>>>>OG website I have long since forgotten
  18. Welp sorry for not posting. Between my Parents I have spent the month in the hospital more than I have at home with enough time to post article updates...! (everyone is fine!) Previous chapter is here:
  19. I thought the KSP AVC was bugged and caused issues with many "code intensive" mods like B9PArtSwitch... Yet I see a notice in the upper left corner that AVC is running on your game? Maybe I am wrong But that is what I remember... Because I am using all the latests and have none of these issues... I would guess it is due to a mod that is not Benjee10 nor CobaltWolf nor the dependancies for Benjee or Cobalts mods.
