I'll start adding individual downloads once they are finished. I've re-done all the old launchers and busy making the new ones at the same time, so things are taking their sweet time. Also I'm constantly learning new tricks and techniques, which is making me go back and apply these changes to the old launchers. This is happening over and over and causing things to take longer than expected

Also because I've been working on all these launchers for a while now, I constantly get bored of one launch vehicle and switch over and work on another. Doing this doesn't speed things up by any means, but it keeps me sane. 

Short progress report:

Vega Pack (Includes new parts for Vega, Vega-C, Vega-E1 and Vega-E2) 95% done - Needs RealFuels and thrustCurves.

Delta III - 95% done - Needs RealFuels and SRB thrustCurves.

Ariane 6 Pack (A62, A64, PHH, New A62 and New A64 configurations) - 100% done.

Ariane 5 Pack (ES+ATV, ECB, ME configurations) - 100% done.

ULA Vulcan Pack - 99% done - Needs RealFuels.

Titan IV Pack (IVA/IVB) - 90% done - Need to finish Centaur, IUS and Transtage.

Atlas V HLV - 95% done - Needs RealFuels and slight texture changes.

Soyuz ST - 60% done - This one still needs a lot of love.

Zenit 3SL "SeaLaunch" - WIP 

Ares I-X test article - WIP

If those new techniques and tricks are from 3d model or from unity settings perspection can you share them? Maybe it will help me too. Can you PM me Liquid? I am watching your progress and you really made a step from novice to great modder. Thank you

These techniques and tricks might not be new or interesting to you or other experienced people. Remember, I only started 3D modeling and modding in generel back in late June, so I'm constantly learning new things that helps me make better models and textures. I doubt there is anything I can teach you or anyone else for that matter.

Yup, it's actually pretty obvious when you look at how terrible my old models were. Especially Vega's upper stage. The Ariane 6 configurations and Delta III were ok, at best. Thankfully I've learnt quite a lot since then.

[Tristonwilson12]

well I cant wait t download this!!

[VenomousRequiem]

Wow, there's lots more progress every time I come back to check. Excited for all your rockets!!

Yea I kinda get bored of focusing on only one launch vehicle at a time, so I keep jumping between developing multiple ones to keep things fresh and my mind sane  Once I finish up modeling everything related to Ariane 4, I'll start texturing all the parts for the Angara family and model a couple more RD engines. I'll be posting all progress on the first page.

Can you try to make Indian launch vehicles such as PSLV,GSLV,GSLV Mk 3

here are the links

If they are not already made by the time I've finished everything I am currently working on, I can definitely add the ISRO launchers to my to-do-list

[The space freak]

Thanks do look at the links

I am already familiar with those launch vehicles. The reason for not making or considering making them yet is simply because no one has shown interest in having them. But since you mentioned it, I can certainly consider making them for the game once I'm done with everything I am currently busy with, which is quite a lot.

[The space freak]

Continue this pack with way more launchers!This pack is awesome

Is there any way we could get a test version of what's done, like the Ariane 5? ;0

Also, just some questions I've been thinking about... Are you going to have a stock sized version as well, like the earlier stages of the mod? Also, from your not-so-subtle hints, are all of these launchers going to be 100% compatible with RealismOverhaul?

Yes, test versions will be given to people who have experience with modding or are well versed in contributing to mod development. I won't be looking for people to simply play the game for 10 minutes using my mod and giving me feedback such as "it gets into orbit" and "the decouplers decouple".

 I've thought about stockifying them, but ended up going with no. That doesn't mean they absolutely won't be stock sized/stock re-balanced, it just means I won't be the one doing it. I will be looking for people who wants to help speed up development by making configs for stock, 2x scale, 3.2x scale and 6.4x scale. I basically want everyone to have the chance to use these launch vehicles, regardless of which mods or size of Kerbol system they use. The problem is, it will take forever if I am the one who has to do all of this for every single launch vehicle.

This time around I've included a "configs" folder for each of the launch vehicles that contains configs for RSS, RSSRO, RealFuels, RealPlume, KMGimbal, RemoteTech etc. The way these configs works is, they only activate if any of these other mods are detected within your GameData directory. If these mods are not in use, the configs will be left alone.

[MrMeeb]

I am no config writer/tweaker, but I am a 6.4k user and as a comment, a fair few users of the (larger) rescale mods use SMURFF, which makes its own tweaks. I don't know if you'd want to take into consideration the edits it makes, or just make it incompatible with SMURFF. Or perhaps find a way for it to overrule SMURFF's edits? Like I said, I'm not a config writer, so I don't know the possibilities 

[Kartoffelkuchen]

@liquidhype If you want I can make stock configs for you, and 64k configs too if noone else wants to. (Off-topic) @MrMeeb are my 64k configs now working btw?

If you really have time to do it, I would appreciate it a lot. I mean, I know you're busy too with all your wonderful stuff. There is no rush, as stock is not a priority, so it wouldn't matter if those configs were added after release of each vehicle. Basically whenever you'd find the time.

Nah it's no problem for me, I am not working so hard on my things right now. And your stuff seems much more wonderful now,  especially the Ariane 5. Great job my friend! ;))

You can send me the stuff over when you're done with it!

Thank you very much  Well I'm far away from your level of skills, but I am learning and getting gradually better by attempting to finish this project.

Yea I'll send them over one at a time once they start getting finished. Thank you, really appreciate the help
