Mods

NoFuel - Adds to gameplay realism by defueling all tanks by default. The idea is that you need to build mining, conversion and transport infrastructure to feed your space program (only for the masochistic)

Blender to Unity to KSP Orientation - A .blend file and image to help with orienting models in blender so that get passed down into KSP with the correct orientation. Download MIT Licence

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[WIP] RealSpike - Duplicates the stock Aerospike and enhances it adding several more advanced Aerospikes in different sizes that are better aligned with the performance of Aerospikes IRL. A spike and butt should be lighter and produce as much thrust as a similarly sized engine, their efficiency is better through all atmospheric regimes, they can have gimbal like attributes.

Download

Stock Shuttle and SLS Mod - Enhances duplicate parts were necessary to make the stock parts more balanced for MK3 shuttles and the SLS ie. reduce thrust on Vectors, bigger and more powerful SRB, bigger tanks. 95 parts for a fully functional shuttle with 20t payload, OMS, control surface airbrakes, Orange Tank - soon^tm

Download

[WIP] Fictional Spaceplanes - Reproduce some fictional spaceplanes, that were cancelled or never built

[WIP] SMSuits, a suit pack for a production I am currently making, script here this is my first suit, a travelling Scientist, sharp eyed scifi fans may notice something familiar

v0.2 of the Stock Shuttle mod has been released

Changes include

- Duplicated and enhanced several parts

- Re-balanced engines

- Example Shuttle included in download (has 20t payload)

Showed the stock tanks and SRB so you can get an idea on what has changed, all the stock parts are still there, this just duplicates and enhances those parts.

Stock Shuttle and SLS Mod v0.3 is available

1. Fixed SRB fuel restriction
2. Rebalanced engines
3. Fixed names, titles and descriptions of parts
4. Added a few more parts
5. Updated craft file, added RCS, wheels, OMS fuel, removed reaction wheels.

The Shuttle is still a handful to fly

1. I have oriented it so the Orbiter is towards the ocean, you don't want to do rotate, believe me.

2. Just let it run on SAS hold initially, maybe pull it back slightly towards the ocean, but otherwise it should naturally start to pull over in the right direction as the boosters reach maximum TWR.

3. The boosters separate cleanly if you are not doing any aerobatics, keep the nose coming towards the horizon and pick up as much speed as possible before your ap hits 70km

4. Circularise nice and early, ditch the tank and switch to OMS

5. It is reasonably stable on re-entry, the tail separates to an air-brake when you press the brakes, keep the SAS in radial out mode, until the nose drops, then try and keep it as high as possible till under burning speed, then determine how far to glide and angle accordingly

To Do

1. Add an air-brake configuration to the wing control surfaces, like the tail

2. Build a new tank for the example craft with the couple of extra new parts

3. Start on the texture files for the tank.

Progress on Texturing the tank, I figured I might as well add second texture for the SLS as well, since the parts are similar. Accidentally stuffed up the shuttle, so I am rebuilding.

v0.5 release, Orange tanks, new example craft, be sure to delete the old one, I have not re-oriented this one, my advice is to orient it before launch, because turning or swiveling is a no-no

v0.6 of the Stock Shuttle and SLS Mod, some minor changes to shuttle, and the first build of the SLS, Shuttle is ~20T to ~75km orbit, SLS is ~70t to ~100km orbit
