This gave me an invalid parts error.  I could see small ship view but couldn't load craft.

Sounds like you are missing parts.

I the parts where locked in the techtree, you would get an locked parts message.

Any chance for new craft files to be available for the latest version of SSTU? I tried these crafts but it gives me a missing parts error.

Currently I am working on a 1.6.1 install to update my RSS setup and will be working on the craft repository. The upcoming 1.6.1 craft files should also work in 1.7.0 according to Mage.

Also, I will remove 3rd party dependencies like BDB and ProceduralFairings.

Glad to share and help people out. And I actually use CTT mostly, forgot that, there maybe be 1-2 more that I forgot to mention.

Yeah, my RSS patch is super simple but it gets the job done. I tend to use a Delta IV Heavy and a Saturn V as a test to balance the thrust/ISP to RSS. You can tune to your own liking in the cfg file.

Right now I am working on a similar patch in SSRSS to make the craft look more real-world instead of the chubby Kerbal ships, by lowering the ISP so you need more tanks. When that is finished I will also release it here.

REALISTIC SCALING / RSS

 

STATION CORE

Soyuz / R7 coming soon	Saturn V coming soon	Space Shuttle coming soon	SLS Block I coming soon	SLS Block ? lunar coming soon
Falcon 9 Heavy coming soon

 

 

LANDER CORE

Landers that are suitable for Mun, Minmus, Duna and similar moons. The command modules contain solar panels, rcs thrusters, docking port and a small reaction wheel, all in a single part. Stock legs and ladders are used to complete the landers.

TIPS if you want to build your own lander 
1.) On the LC pod select "enable bottom node", attach the engine, then attach the decoupler.
2.) On the decoupler, enable "hollow collider" to not get the engine snagged upon separating.
(these have all been done in my craft files, they are ready to go)

LC2  2-stage lander (2 crew) coming soon

LC3  2-stage lander (3 crew) coming soon

LC5 2-stage lander (6 crew) coming soon

 

Will you ever upload all the files for 1.6, because it just says that it is coming soon?

[Jimbodiah]

I changed that text last week

Working on it, not as active in KSP lately. And with the constant stream of updates that require all my mods to update again, I am not sure I will play much in the future to be honest. It's going to take me a few weeks of gameplay just to update my JPL patches, and I notice they are releasing 1.7.1 and 1.8 soon. No idea why they choose to update so frequently on a game that relies so heavily on mods.

[Virtualgenius]

@Jimbodiah was wondering if you had some updated craft files  I keep getting parts missing on some of the ones I downloaded

[Jimbodiah]

These will indeed not work. I made an installation for KSP 1.8.1 but have not done any of these craft to be honest.

[cardboardman]

Can't wait for the update with the 1.8.1 craft files.

I hope these come out soon, I would really like to use this mod’s Soyuz and SLS
