[1.12.5] Commonwealth Aeronautics "Blue Steel" [1.3]

[wallum61]

Likely may just be a problem with my extensive mod setup, but when flying the Skylon craft provided in the download, along with FAR and KJR on a 0.27xRSS setup, the fuselage wobbles longitudinally. Just wondering if anyone else is having a similar problem?

I'm having a weird bug where whenever I launch blue steel it keeps on accelerating even when the engine is off which makes it impossible to land

Huh that really weird, did you not just have used infinite fuel on the cheat menu ?

[munman19]

yes i had that on to reach space because with regular fuel it couldnt reach space

IT must be a solid rocket? Those will just keep burning with infinite fuel active, no matter the throttle setting. Otherwise I'm not sure.  Clearly the goal would be to not need infinite fuel.

When you use cheat menu, expect a lot of weirdness for many mod in many way.

This menu is generally more here for modder to save time when we do test. Not really to play with it.

I recommand you to just use MOAR BOOSTER like all Kerbals do, if you struggle to go on orbit.

Has anyone made any RO configs yet? This is a great mod.

How capable is the SSTO craft in getting into an orbit?

The answer waits for you to write it. If you like spaceplanes, try the mod.

I've been making TweakScale configs for the mods I use that lacked them, and I did Blue Steel a few days ago.  It covers all parts from the mod.  Here it is for those interested.

hey there @Well, does the emissive texture for the landing gear do anything? I get an error for loading it in the KSP.log and in fact when I try to open it in paint.NET it says it's not a valid DDS file
