Is there a Mk0 fairing mod?

[Fireheart318]

Is there a mod that adds fairings that fit on Mk0/0.625m parts? And no, Tweakscale doesn't work on fairings.

You can do it with Module Manager, but it is much trickier than rescaling a typical part.

I’ve made bigger ones before, not smaller, but it should be doable.

//***Size 0 PAYLOAD FAIRINGS***
//Does not rescale autotrusses.
@PART[fairingSize1]
{	
	@MODEL,0 
	{	
		&scale = 1.0, 1.0, 1.0
		@scale[*] *= 0.5
	}
	
	@node_stack_top,1 *= 0.5
	@node_stack_bottom,1 *= 0.5
	
	//fx_gasBurst_white = 0.0, 0.3, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, deploy
	
	@name = customFairingSize0
	@entryCost = 2000
	@cost = 200
	@title = AE-FF0 Airstream Protective Shell (0.625m)
	
	@MODULE[ModuleProceduralFairing]
	{
		@baseRadius *= 0.5
		@maxRadius *= 0.5
		@capRadius *= 0.5
		@xSectionHeightMax *= 0.5
		//UnitAreaMass = 0.016 
		//UnitAreaCost = 18 
	}
	@MODULE[ModuleCargoBay]  //not sure what this does
	{
		@lookupRadius *= 0.5
	}	
}	

This should get you started.

So I finally got around to adding the fairing to the game and it works great, except the base is slightly ahead of the rest of the fairing and it just doesn't look that great. What should I do to fix it?

BDB has 0.625m custom fairings.

It is a mod that adds lots of very nice parts to the game

Is it possible to just get the 0.625m fairing by deleting some of its parts? Whats the part name? I tried to get a 0.625m fairing but ended up breaking my game instead.

@AKerbalDog Give this a try: https://www.dropbox.com/s/byoake9bfb5c44u/BDB Fairings.zip?dl=1

I pruned it for you, but those fairings are not quite the same as stock. Released under the same CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 as the original Bluedog Design Bureau by Cobaltwolf.

In the event you need a little guidance on installing mods:

If you just need fairings, use CKAN (a mod manager that runs outside KSP) to install "Simple Adjustable Fairings - KW Rocketry fairing pack" (I might be a little off on the name).

That will give you great set of pretty fairings in 0.625 plus other sizes. It's a small mod even if you don't need those other sizes.
