[1.8.x] reDIRECT | Stockalike Orion, SLS, & Shuttle-Derived Launchers | (Fixes!) | v0.10.1

[DJ Reonic]

Has anyone checked for backwards compatibility with 1.3.1?

[j-tk]

Not showing up in a fresh install of 1.4.  Any suggestions, or have I missed how to install mods inn 1.4?

Thanks!

It works, I just used a MM patch to disable the PartVariants module to prevent issues in 1.3.1 & earlier.

[Kablob]

Ohhh, this is gonna end up being s new staple mod.

Will you make the Shuttle? We don't have a good stockalike one.

@CobaltWolf Why are you like this

More progress on the Jupiter Upper Stage, with my RL-10-B-2 analogue (1.25m engine with 0.9375m attachment point)

Amazing! 

This could also be useful as a general 1.25m engine with a .9375m adapter from, say, BDB.

I've made a patch to convert the texture switching to FS for use in KSP1.3.1:

https://pastebin.com/62dSZf0i

Just paste the above into a new .cfg file in your GameData, and make sure to install the FireSpitter plugin

@benjee10 feel free to use any of this patch or include it for a 1.3.1 release if you want.

Ooo, that upper stage looks very very nice.

Loving how this meshes with the Cormorant shuttle parts - I'm sketching out my career launcher family in a sandbox save at the moment - currently got a really nice family of launchers set up, with Ares I and V analogues, and a shuttle for when I'm feeling masochistic.

That's awesome, thanks! I will take a look and possibly bundle it in a future update if that's OK with you! 

Update is out, featuring Jupiter Upper Stage/RL10/2 and 5 segments SRBS!

I've also rebalanced everything to be closer to stock values in terms of LFO quantities, which resulted in the Jupiter 246 configuration being too heavy to leave the pad. To remedy this I've added a placeholder engine using the stock SSME assets with about 50% more thrust. I'm probably going to end up simply bundling everything with LH/Ox configs as default as it's too much hassle to try to balance everything against the stock game when the stock game doesn't really make sense for launchers this size. Anyway, enjoy everyone and let me know your feedback!

Still in beta, so there will potentially be craft-breaking changes in the near future. Not comfortable with uploading to CKAN until we're past that point!

[Saltshaker]

Amazing update! Can you/someone in the thread also add fuel tanks to first stage thrust plate and 5m-3.75m adapter? Thanks in advance.

[akron]

B-e-a-utiful

Keep it up. I'm looking forward to that Orion capsule

[Well]

Thanks for the update !

I had no intention to use these parts after Cormorant included its own Shuttle launch system but damn. These parts look so good that I'll have to pretend they're updated versions of that just so I can have them in my game.
