Planned features

 

Known issues

  • "No tank type named 'RR_CryoMLOX' exists" means you have RR but not CRP, or you have RR, CRP, and WBI classic stock, and the WBI feature isn't working right.  Make sure you have RR 1.16!

 

Required Mods

Not supported Mods

  • Atmospheric autopilot

@tygoo7 Weren't you working on revamps? How much did you do with those, and did you give those over too?

I honestly have no idea if they were in that folder. It's been so long since I've worked on this. I'm fairly certain that I never got further than the notebook sketches and a new model for the cargo capsule. :P

I will continue on what he was working on first, revamping all the parts. After he got some more time and sends the last files I can start pushing :)

I don't think the SpaceX Grasshopper fits within Tundra Exploration. I'm currently finishing the revamp of the Gigan pod and the New Horizons spacecraft. If you have any suggestions to add like for example satellites, please tell me :wink:

If anything, it does. Grasshopper helped shape SpaceX into what it is now. It makes more sense than adding some random satellite parts.

It may fit, but personally I don't think alot of people will actually use the Grasshopper. But I started a bigger project, see the roadmap :wink:

I can see myself using it in career and science, and for fun in sandbox. And help players test reuseability, and be a bit better at landing rockets, just like SpaceX irl.
