  1. Frizzank, love the mod. One request, can we get bigger Gimbal Ranges on the engines? It is fun to play without reaction wheels but I always end up modifying the Gimbal Range on the engines so it is a little easier. From some research I found: S-IC/S-IB: 5 Degree Gimbal Range S-II: 7 Degree Gimbal Range S-IVB: 7 Degree Gimbal Range Lots of good information here: Saturn V Flight Manual
  2. Thanks for all the hard work on this mod. I've downloaded and find it very interesting to play around with all of the Fuel / Oxidizer combinations. I much prefer the constant fuel rate model to the constant thrust model stock KSP uses. If there are plans to add more Fuels & Oxidizers, I'd like to point out the Theoretical Isp reference in the book Modern Engineering for Design of Liquid-propellant Rocket Engines. Google Books allows you to view the table (located on page 20) here: Google Books Link One thing I noticed is that this data makes me think that the Isp for the LVT30 & LVT45 are a bit low. Using RP-1 & LOX should give a Atmo Isp of ~270 (90% Efficiency) and a Vac Isp of ~305 (85% Efficiency) as opposed to 240/275 & 207/258. Happy to discuss your methodology.
