mistergoblin Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Myself I use Cormorant Aeronology, which has both shuttle and buran parts. It says it's older and not compatible with the latest KSP, but it works fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand IIRC that means you need one of the mods that deals with texture swapping (I can't remember if it's specifically B9Partswitcher or Firespitter.dll, honestly getting both doesn't hurt). Cormorant should work just fine once you have it. Comorant is fantastic for making Buran; it's more flexible than SOCK and *really* lets you use the parts for more than just the standard Shuttle. I recently had a Shuttle-Buran "kiss" using SOCK for Shuttle and Cormorant for Buran and I think it went well. (Potato-pic but I wasn't intending to actually post it anywhere xD) Also nice name EDIT: Are we still posting cursed rockets? Found this from Oct 2021 when I was going through screenshots for Shuttle-Buran. Edited March 2, 2023 by Queen Ultima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say though I find it really funny that you used tweakscale on the Saturn V engine housing even though it's not doing anything, but you decided to keep the Titan SRB as is.

If I had to guess, it was during the time I was obsessed with trying to make a viable JNSQ crew launch vessel that was mostly SRB (we all go through phases we're ashamed of) so I'm guessing I tried to put five Titan SRBs on the bottom instead of using the big Saturn SRB, got annoyed by something and then just tried a single one like out of spite.

Sudragon Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 With regards to the Model 8250 Agena-D Secondary Engine and Model 8250-B Agena-D Secondary Engine, with the recent conversion of the XLR81 Series to run on Aerozine and NTO, these were not similarly converted. As a frequent user of this equipment I have several launches on hold waiting for an update on this hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dressian Exploder Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) My grasp of cyrillic is very rudimentary, but I think it says something along the lines of LOAD 3D or possibly LOADYED if it's ukranian cyrillic. Probably LOADED, as a caution sign to indicate that it's full of fuel.

As a frequent user of this equipment I have several launches on hold waiting for an update on this hardware. Expand Ok So on a barebones system with BDB and a few other station parts mods only... I can confirm. The Hypergolic patch is working fine... HOWEVER, There is a visual discontinuity that can lead to "problems" As you can see this is the 8250-B engine mount with the twin 8250 engines per pod (No RCS) There is an AZ50/NTO fuel tank This is the 8250 Inital variant tank/engine combo which is 1 RCS engine and 1 8250 Engine. Notice the tank has no AZ50/NTO? Well that is because as far as a Hypergolic engine is concerned it gets fuel from a separate tank. From the expanded text document on this engine we can clearly see it's Propellants are AZ50/NTO and Mono... The tank just holds Mono Only. So unless another mod is suppressing cross-feed in your game (or you have disabled it) you should have a fully functional engine with the base 8250 engine. Obviously assuming your Tanks are actually setup for AZ50/NTO. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
