Maybe it's only in the GitHub dev version, but it's definitely there

I can confirm this, it is included in the dev version 1.2.0.

tbh I can't really be bothered with going through all the thread pages to find out whether this mod is compatible with RSS/RO/RP-1 or not. So can anyone confirm if it is? Would be greatly appreciated.

There is a Search in this topic.
As far as I can say: it isn`t compatible with RSS/RO. But you should better ask in the RO-thread because they makes RO-configs.

Thanks I'll go ask them.

Which mod should I use for ET and SRBs?

Not sure about "should" but Oranges + PhotonCorp is a common combo. Personally, since I don't do historical shuttle stuff, I use Oranges + srb's from ACK since I have ACK anyway.

For some reason the IVA seats for the first two crew on the forward fuselage are in the nose, and not in the correct spot, with their models.

Hey all,

I'm using ReDirect and SOCK, but I've noticed that the RS-25s from ReDirect seem way too big to fit on the SOCK

Is anyone else having this issue?

Make sure you've got the latest versions of both SOCK and RMM (Rocket Motor Menagerie), it looks like the RS-25 bundled with ACK is probably overscaled. 

(also that's ACK you're using, not reDIRECT lol)

Thanks for the wonderful mod! Everything works on stock. KerboArm caused problems, but everything is resolved. Hopefully RO/FAR/RSS support will be added someday. There’s just one thing I don’t understand: why isn’t the front chassis steering? Or did the original shuttle also lack the ability to steer on the runway?

Do you mean the nose landing gear? It steers without any problems for me.
RO support is mostly provided by the RO guys. You should ask about this in the RO thread.

The real shuttle couldn't steer the nose gear

That is not entirely correct. That was the case for the first flights. However, after the landing gear was damaged during the first two landings at KSC in 1984, landings were initially only made at Edwards. Later, a steering system was added so that the shuttles could land at KSC again. That was from 1990.
