I love this stuff. Like OP's never pirated a film, ripped off a game, or otherwise impacted financially on families directly reliant on income from entertainment products they've pirated whereas the ego of some kid on the internet is clearly more worthy of respect and observing the rights of. LUNACY, I say. Lunacy.

[CAPFlyer]

Glad you are the all knowing, all seeing god of the internet. Is this all you're going to do is go around and bash authors for doing what's been done in the modding world for DECADES? These guys spent their time to make the mods. As such, under International Law, they hold the rights to that work and can restrict it AS THEY PLEASE. End of story. Move on or get lost.

[tjoreilly]

Now, please, back on topic. Discuss the mod itself.

[dishycourier]

So, about those engines?

Did I see you say somewhere you were updating the RD-180?

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

Don't worry that bashprompt guy trolled me on youtube as well. I suspect it is someone else in the community wearing a mask to try and incite a response. I simply laugh but if not. mods make us put that little statement there.

as for RD-180. It has already been done. have all it's brothers to 170, 180, 191.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

re-moddelled URM-2 tanks. Now with ~77.5% less polys, Normal/specular maps for enhanced detail and common Large Engine Kosmos engine mount in the bottom

[Tommygun]

Details look sharp and clean, how many more parts are left to do?

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

well IDk i was wanting to release a Engine pack. but looks like the tanks might be in it as well.

[Nibb31]

I love the Angara pack so much that I'm currently flying my own rescaled and rebalanced kit. I can't wait to get my hands on the real deal.

[Synthesis]

77% fewer polygons, eh? Well, it still looks good, so I guess that's fine. Never had any performance troubles with the old pack myself.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

it looks 177% better than the old one lol.

[Rubiks]

First off. I want to thank you for working so hard to create such an amazing and detailed parts pack!

Secondly, I have a few questions. Will this new release overwrite the existing kosmos parts pack? I ask this because I would like to keep the smaller 1m engines, and the 1m, 1.25m and 1.5m fuel tanks and space station modules that are currently in the kosmos pack. I LOVE the detailed look of the kosmos parts, so I would like to be able to use them on smaller crafts as well.

If this is the case, would you consider releasing different size variants of your new engines/tanks/modules?

Thanks!

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

the old stuff must go.

but you can always copy the new parts and use the rescalefactor thing to make them smaller.

[Rubiks]

Thanks for the reply!

I've actually changed the names of the old kosmos engines and tanks in their respecting folders and .cfg files. just in case I want them for later.

I look forward to your new parts pack!

[mrrpamplemousse]

I love the kosmos pack! continues your work and make some beautiful thing!

[EvilotionCR2]

[ouion]

what does that mean you not releaseing the engines pack?

[SciMan]

yeah i don't get it either, really looking forward to the release of these parts, especially the RD-170!

If the whole project has been abandoned for whatever reason, I'm going to be a real sad panda...

[Nibb31]

May I suggest making the tanks a bit shorter? Excessively long tanks cause center of mass issues as they empty, making the rocket top heavy and unstable. It's better to use short/wide tanks than thin/tall ones.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

Angara Rocket is not like this.

[ouion]

dude every russian pack has be discontiueed,except kosmos this is my favorite mod.
