Awesome. :) How about adding the Fregat SB, and some more fairings now? Also, I'd really like to see you model the Energia. Come to think of it, for the basic version, you'd need to make one engine (RD-0120), one fuel tank and a "booster conversion kit" of sorts, containing parachutes and retrorockets (I can look them up for you if you want). Energia-M would be just another fuel tank and a fairing set (and perhaps a simple nosecone instead of the big booster kit). You mentioned Vostok, but Energia could probably be done somewhat quicker, and also has an advantage of not requiring an IVA.

Regardless, if you're looking for a testing/research guy, I can help you out.

Very nice... only a tiny problem with the included craft file, the struts you used are not the stock ones, but a global search and replace of strutConnectorHeavy with strutConnector fixed that in a couple of seconds. Flies well, looks beautiful.

Can't wait to see all the amazing changes that we've come up with as a collective group for the final release!:D Too bad I have school in about 30 minutes :sticktongue:

Oh well! This is a great pack and I hope you all enjoy :D

Simply amazing mod man: 9.9/10. Close to perfection even in the launch version.

It's only me getting over separated flames at higher trusth? Anyway it's not a problem at all, and I know how tricky is the particle system.

Congrats, truly fantastic job. Do one or two cool legs, a small engine and medium tanks... and ends with the KW reign. :sticktongue:

EDIT: I give you 5 stars, I can' give you more rep yet. :D

I'm finding it hard to download, it just downloads as a document?

The original upload is a .7z archive, I guess your machine doesn't have a suitable decompressor program installed so it doesn't recognise the file type.

For the benefit of you and any others with the same problem I've just mirrored it as a regular zip file at this dropbox location

edit: I've added another copy which includes the KW strut used in the craft file here in case it helps anyone without KW.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'm glad you're enjoying it! There will be tweaks/updates in the coming days I'm sure.

I'll see about getting up another link that has the archive in plain .zip format, for those that don't have 7zip (which you should, it's rad :D).

Oh man I love that meme :D!

Yeah I probably have some kind of illness: moddingitus or addon obesity (yeah... great jokes :rolleyes:)

I should probably be loading the game *three hours later*

Edit:Oh yeah, is it added to the tech tree yet? hang on no it isn't hmmm where should I put it? Any suggestions for a good node?

If not i'll just stick it somewhere random and then the testing can commence :wink:

(sorry if I'm bugging you with my endless comments, I can tell it's annoying)

Just NO, I'm sorry, I won't try to be funny ever again

Finally it loaded!

Everything is working well (and looking amazing!) apart from the fact that for some reason the Zenit craft says it has locked or invalid parts, although I have every single one unlocked

But I have KW!

Also I've just made my own rocket and let me tell you, even on half res the thing looks absolutely amazing! Well done stubbles (I wish I could spam you with rep, but i gave you some a while ago)
