We are using the Realism Overhaul suite of mods, so it works a little differently there.
 

So it's not remotetech that's installing those locations, then, which is what your earlier post was worded like.  Sorry for the confusion.  I'll leave the thread again and let you continue your co-op program.

From now on, when a discussion needs to occur, contact me on steam so I can be more easily contacted.

I'm going to assume that a lot of the people who submitted payloads through the Google form (myself included) put in potential launch dates that have become undoable. How will all the launch dates be scheduled, and will all the payloads be sent up?

Speaking of which are we doing Comm's Through Steam, Skype or Teamspeak

Preferrably Skype. Our choices are between Skype and Steam.

Sadly we have missed most launch dates so far, but we are just getting started.

We will set them when we can all appear for a date, then we will launch it under mode 1 (time warp between burns). We will send up as many as we can as soon as we can.

Skype is slow and causes major lag

Hm, usually that's the case withSteam, well, we'll see. I will let you all choose which, but nevertheless, friend me on both.

You could use Discord. It's better than Skype and you don't have to download it.

Look on the OP. I think it's track and recovery. 

I'm thinking it might be better to use google hangouts. I'm pretty sure everyone here has google accounts, and it doesn't require a download. I personally don't feel like cluttering my computer with applications.

The Launch Director is the one who manages all aspects of the LV while it's on the pad, as well making sure the Launchpad itself is ready. You will be monitoring every aspect of the vehicle prior to launch, and once everyone at mission control gives the "Go", your the one to give the mission crew the permission to launch. Your technically the second in command and first in command while the rocket is on the ground, so it's a big role, but if you can handle it, then kudos to you  .

Idk, but we'll take a vote and if you fail to make a decision on what to use by the 15th (Monday), I'll choose for you.

If your ready, your on. You'll need to be watching the LV up to launch as said and make sure it's ready for launch according to the flight plan, which I will have written up by Wednesday. You can find the LV on the last few pages :| it's in here somewhere.

I think Hangouts is best.

Our next launch is with this ten-ton booster, credit goes to @Joco223 for the design: https://mega.nz/#!JQ8nFDQZ!Deo2Sx5doevaBi76gOJACGgRv9LJAjfVATaeorueL2w

@agent 902, if you would PM me with your google contact info, I can add you to the list of people who can edit our scheduling stuff.  We have a spreadsheet which you can add the times when you're available to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a_1wJ__kjNWw0SzEcl3PE8eTo2Cdx6PawNl4hYD8V_A/edit?usp=sharing

A document for scheduling: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MeILK2O7hGEbyy6bebOBoHsSdS4OY_daliZnI_n65tQ/edit?usp=sharing

And a calendar for scheduling: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=v90sormganhcnc2eri37iujg80%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles

If you prefer, you can also just PM me with when you're available.  Stuff like your timezone, etc.

Also, will a launch on February 20, 2016, 14:00-16:00 EST, or 19:00-21:00 UTC work for you?  I suggest worldtimebuddy.com to convert from UTC to local time.
