Good mix between realism and the 'cartoon' vibe KSP has going on. Looking funky fresh man Expand Aight. I'll try and keep working on it. The H1 still needs to get finished as well.

Expand The Isps are accurate, and the engines seem to be balanced enough... but in my head, I would assume that the H-1s would have more thrust (most likely for the same weight) as the Muo's 'Buzzard' engine, to make that Muo SLV-3x more appealing and capable then the normal Muo-II.

Expand The SLV-3x gets performance because it has something like twice the tank volume for the 1st stage, and the sustainer (which contributes very little to the sea level TWR) is replaced by the H-1, which allows it to take off with all that extra mass. In any case, the Atlas II has better performance anyways - remember that the SLV-3X is a pre-Shuttle design. I just thought it would be cool to include. I've included Ed Kyle's baseball cards for both launchers. Not the difference in payload. @Drakenex looks great! My only critique would be that the payload fairing doesn't match the Atlas V 5xx very well. The new Centaur will include an interstage that includes a fairing base that goes out to the 5m/3.125m diameter. If you can picture the KW Rocketry 'expanded' fairing bases, it's going to look like that, with the bottom conic shape included in the part.

Expand Yeah, but I was not aiming at a replica, more a Kerbalized look, like the KSO shuttle, using KW fairings + OSF looks closer to the real thing but again I prefer KSP "cartoony" style. Not so evident there but I've increased gimbal rates for the RD-180 and AJ-60As, in order to make 3-2 asymmetrical SRB setup work (Atlas 551); I've ended up with just 1.3° of orbital inclination. BTW, was the AJ-60A ever planned? KW ones worked fine but but but ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Shutesie Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Could you possible make a payload mount, like on shocks, so you can have a small orbital engine on a large diameter payload without it looking funny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiceCaller Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 No Hatch on the "Botticelli"!!!! Greetings, I have learned the hard way that there is no hatch on the "Botticelli" capsule. This may very well be historically accurate, but for Rescue Missions in Career it is a pain in the rear. I love doing Rescue Missions in Career, lots of free Kerbals with experience. The final stage of a rescue is to switch craft and EVA your Kerbal to the rescue vessel. You can't EVA if there is no 'hatch'. KSP selects a 'command' item at random and places the Kerbal in orbit. It should be random, but I have just had three out of four missions scrubbed because the 'random' capsule was a "Botticelli". I really don't want to remove it from my game (it makes a great Tour Bus) but I may have to. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yes, I meant to have the Atlas V finished for the 0.10.5 release but decided to wait until I was finished with the new Centaur to try and finish that launcher.

Sgt.Shutesie Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 No, like the center is hollow. Like the old KW fairing adapters, so the engine goes through a ring and the ring fits to the SM of the payload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be trying to stream tonight folks, the usual time ~6PM EST. It will likely start with a little bit of working on new SEP parts, followed by RL-10/H-1/Sarnus textures.

I'm trying to keep it 'interesting' and so have been trying to figure out where I can inject color. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm dying to see where Porkjet takes the new stock engines' art style. Expand You and me both, I've wanted to make my own engines forever but I'm stalling because whatever I come up with might not jive with the new stockalike. He could certainly do worse than to follow your lead though! If you're looking for color, that beige line is enough for me but I've seen images of the RL10 with one of the bell bands painted blue, might go well with some of the other parts.
