Also I asked earlier but it got buried, I want to switch out the IVAs for Mercury and Apollo with the ones from FASA, how would I go about doing that?

Assuming that you have either of the internals folders in your gamedata folder, go to the internal.config file and copy the line that goes like name = FASAMercuryInt, then to to the config for the pod, scroll down to the INTERNAL line and replace the name with the capsule (e.g. replace name = Hermes_Crew_A_Interior with name = FASAMercuryInt). This example would replace the BDB mercury interior with the FASA one (though the IVA for the FASA Mercury is slightly missaligned with the BDB model). You'll also want to keep the props folder from FASA so that the custom props for the interiors appear.

So, can delete TU folder without messing Skylab up?

 

also, page 900!

Have you tried retracting the ring?

Added a variant to the Skylab/S4B fairing without the wallbase for a shorter minimum length (still adjustable via wall segments). This option is only available on the fairing base itself not the airlock modules.

 

the ring is to be kept extended for intial "soft docking" to make contact and align. Once soft docked and the petals are interlocked, retract the ring on the active version to hard dock. If this doesnt work its probably due to the rescale.

Expand  

Although I do have a question:

What if I skip the soft docking and don't extend the ring at all? Would that work?

[Kurley_Kerbal]

I love this mod, but I don't want the Bluedog contracts. How do I get rid of them without removing Bluedog?

[CobaltWolf]

Saturn INT-17 parts - 7x S-II mount, more lengths for the interstage (to use as a skirt), and a fin/launch mount.

 

EDIT: LM Leg switch to disable the... uh, legs.

You can just delete the GameData/Bluedog_DB/Contracts folder. Or i that sounds scary you can simply go into difficulty settings -> contract configurator and uncheck BDB.

It works as a normal docking port.

I thought the whole point of jettisoning the interstage was heat buildup? Why would they have bolted one on when used as a first stage?

Aerodynamic reasons while during the early stages of ascent and max-Q I believe.

Everyone look at this BEAUTIFUL rocket, especially you @CobaltWolf and @Zorg.

I mean, Saturn C-8 is, was designed for (afaik), Direct Ascent to the Moon/Mun. I just didn't go out that far. OFT

Congrats on 900pgs guys!

Just Downloaded the latest build from GH and this happened:

The textures on B9 part switch has the switches but they're duplicated

I can't for the life of me find the sarnus-he2j-550 engine variant, i've even tried finding it in the parts folder so i knew what I needed to research. No luck, one of the engine mounts refers to them and it might be the reason why my second stage is so weak atm.

Expand  

I know this is an old post, but I can't find the Sarnus-HE2J-550 engine either. Does anyone got the same issue or is there anyone that can help me with this?

Kerballo 17

Haven't done many MEM pics yet and its the 900th page so yeah, here's one... Huge thanks to @zakkpaz for the rover. 

[Dash1310]

The Saturn S-1 engine mount part switch appears to be broken in such a way that when Saturn IB is selected I get the Saturn I Block 2 engine mount. It's been like that ever since the Juno V engine mount part switches were added to that part.

I was unclear in my description of the problem.

Correct,  What engines in the S-II stage (I am guessing RL20?) 

Also what kind of payload/did you offload any fuel for more payload?

Sorry haven't built this one with the new parts yet

Expand  

having flown INT-17, IMO the flight performance (with 7 RL-20-SL and 1 RL-20 on S-IVB) is average, like it's still bad but it's flyable

but damn, it looks freaking cool aka it looks normal when compared to INT-18/19

Oh I forgot, there is still the old mercury capsule in the files. Make sure that you replace the internal line for bluedog_Mercury_Capsule, and not bluedog_mercuryPod.
