USI GNR- nuke engines?

[strider3]

I have both the GNR-2500 and GNR-3750 nuke engines in my VAB...but can't figure out where they came from? Looking through my GameData folder at the UmbraSpaceIndustries folder, I'm not seeing these 2 engines listed in "parts" anywhere. The reason this is coming up is that the engines are useless without included LH2 tanks, which apparently didn't come with the engines. If USI has a set of liquid hydrogen tanks for these I'd go and get them. Anybody know where these engines came from and if USI has LH2 tanks for them??

USI/FTT engines they are. You should be able to use USI tanks from Logistics tab to store liquid hydrogen.

I found "Kontainers" in logistics tab...but no mention of LH2 tanks?

They are switchable in VAB. Spherical ones can store it. If they are not switchable, make sure you have Firespitter plugin installed.

LOL! OK..."Firespitter"??? Got no idea what that is? Should it have come with the 1.2.0.0 FTT mod?

Yes. With any USI mod. It should be in your Gamedata folder.

It is not...but I do see it listed in the FTT ZIP file...let me try reinstalling FTT and see if it shows up. I'm in the middle of a Dres scanner refueling in Kerbin orbit...be back in a bit.

OK, I now have the menu to add to the tank shown...but I see no "LH2"? The cargo "format" is a bit...daunting? A simple drop down for all the possibilities might be easier, instead of clicking the "next cargo" button over and over? Just a thought.

Try the black ones, or 6-sphere orange ones.

OK...give me 15 minutes...docking. But those look rather "goofy" to strap on top of a GNR-2500 engine? If they, however, allow me to use the high thrust, high ISP GNR's...so be it

Some of them are surface attachable. BTW if you want more fancy hydrogen engines and tanks, check CryoEngines and Kerbal Atomics. And good luck!

Thanks!!
