If so, do you mind sharing them so we can use them if we want to use them? I never had a fairing outside the one I have now. But if you mean the .craft file that comes with the stock fairing I can happily put those up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been another mod I think, I never had stock-ish fairings with logo's on it I wouldn't know what mod that could have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll need Kerbal Reusability Expansion, B9 Part Switch, Kerbal Actuators and Near Future Solar installed in GameData alongside the mod. Make sure it’s installed correctly. I can’t remember if Tundra has its own GameData, but if it does you will need to put the contents of that into the game’s main GameData folder. Hope that helped!!

Marandil Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I have a question about the balance of the fuel tanks of the Mothra (F1) launcher. I dunno if the ratios are intended, but they seem a bit... off... Let's just look at them: // Mothra B1-21 Fueltank name = LiquidFuel amount = 720 maxAmount = 720 // Mothra B2-52 Fueltank name = LiquidFuel amount = 360 maxAmount = 360 Meanwhile: PART title = Mothra B1-21 Fueltank ... cost = 1500 ... mass = 1 PART title = Mothra B2-52 Fueltank ... cost = 600 ... mass = 0.25 For comparison, similar stock parts: PART cost = 500 title = #autoLOC_500532 //#autoLOC_500532 = FL-T400 Fuel Tank mass = 0.25 RESOURCE name = LiquidFuel amount = 180 maxAmount = 180 PART cost = 800 title = #autoLOC_500535 //#autoLOC_500535 = FL-T800 Fuel Tank mass = 0.5 RESOURCE name = LiquidFuel amount = 360 maxAmount = 360 It seems the first stage is... somewhat balanced with FL-T800, but the second stage tank seems to be a bit overpowered :) The visual scale also seems to be off in comparison, with S1 being roughly 4x the S2, but only twice the capacity: Spoiler Is this... intended?

infinite_monkey Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hmm, I think the first stage is actually UNDERpowered, since it doesn't get you very far - lower than 20000 m, if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing to 2x FL-T800, the numbers look fine . There may be other balance problems with, e.g. engine mass and performance, but I didn't look too much into them, the inconsistency with the tanks was more obvious .

infinite_monkey Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Do you think this is more than some artist's impression? The upper winglet doesn't seem to have any heat shielding. And I wonder why there is no difference between sea level and vacuum engines anymore... I guess the landing legs are expanding from the winglets. But what is that thing on the side near the front? Looks like a ladder from KSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatshield is visable, but because they will use PICA its that shiney part. And no this is most likely the actual thing. We will know more on the 17th this month so stay tuned!

Kablob Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I continue to be deeply skeptical of the BFR like, ever actually flying, but I notice the engine layout has changed significantly there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried once to aerobrake and land with your BFS, it is next to impossible. Everyday Astronaut has made a video where he builds the new BFR concept from scratch and he seems to be able to make it work somehow (yeah KSP reaction wheels are ludicrously OP), aerobrake like a space shuttle and then backflip to land on its fins after changing the angle of the bottom two. In short the new BFS seems to feature variable aerodynamics to adapt itself to the flight stage.

Daylight4449 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 im so hyped for the BFR update! are you working on a system that can make the two bottom "wings" actuate? and would they be attatched separately or are they going to be one large part that mounts on the bottom of the BFS' tank?
