Expand I can't find it, but it was either @Angel-125's ATM module from M.O.L.E., or @raidernick's Skylab ATM with @Drakenex's fixes/modifications. EDIT: Not really working today, but here's the Titan 2 first stage tank that I was working on briefly yesterday.

Spike88 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Any suggestions for flying the Atlas 1? Whenever I eject the skirt, it tends to strike the engine and causes the rocket to either careen out of control, or at least wobble off its course. I've only been successful with it a couple times.

Expand By skirt I assume you mean the booster fairing. The two vernier engines will clip on it if they're placed too low. Try to place them so the lowest point of the nozzle is not below the bottom of the big tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Maybe you stage the booster fairing too early, tell me your altitude it can be that, you should stage the fairing booster at 16km or more.

Abrecan Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 hey all, just a quick snippet of info I noticed regarding the Saturn V paint scheme, but didn't know if anyone else knew; Upon looking at some info regarding model painting I found some info regarding the S-IC - mainly SA-500 - SA-502ish that the paint schemes match BDBs well, but this particular scheme proved to heat the intertank region too much... They did slap a fresh coat of white on the top halve of the black paint; it can be seen in some photos. Just a neat thing I learned SA-500F Apollo 4 Notice the nice new paint compared to the square just above the USA - It looks like the repainted various pieces in the S-IVB and Interstage structure as well.

CobaltWolf Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 I am well aware that we use that stripe from the Saturn 500F. I got a LOT of flak about it back when I was working on the parts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Anywhere between 11km-40km, all with the same result. Mind you it's a stock system.
