Great collection as always coldj! I love the direction you're going with the internal of the eagle very nice it looks pretty much done, how much more do you have?

I have been resizing the models so that the configs only use rescaleFactor 1, still many to go. I had to redo the cockpit collider meshes so that you could actually get to the hulls. I moved the Eagle airlock to the side and added an invisible ladder. I created an airlock for the interceptor and added ladder. I have added permanent RCS to the interceptor fuselage and need to do so for the pods that look like a house. I have started patching gaps. I have to calculate and update nodes because in some meshes I have moved the origin positions I have been having fun with thrust transforms that have a mind of their own, you change their orientation and export the *.mu only to have them be back again when you import it. I stumbled across Pilot Chairs as a permanent part of the model, which has made positioning them much easier. Much much more left to do and I am learning through trial and error as I haven't had the time to stop and watch hundreds of hours of tutorials on using blender. Many things are still mysteries to me. So, miles to go before I sleep.

If anyone has wondered what I have been up to. I have been repairing, resizing, repainting, creating texture, creating parts, making working hydraulic landing gear and a new internal and configuring and making nodes and fixing colliders and adding colliders for airlocks and ladders and chopping models and welding models and adding lights and part variations , all for the Eagle Space 1999 mod.

I am getiing closer to the end.

Hello. If anybody is interested in adding 4 new variations of paint job to ColdWarAerospace's CUCV then the texture files and the module config to add to the Part config are following. Please make sure to rename the PNG files to what I write and put them in the folder structure I layout so that the part configuration can find them.

The following all go in this folder path Kerbal Space Program\GameData\ColdWarAerospace\Parts\Ground\CUCV

This one needs to be called CUCVBlu

And then within the config file CUCV.cfg (open with Notepad or equivalent) Copy the following inbetween the 2 last brackets of the configuration. So after the Module for inventory part and before the ending bracket. Then save and your all done. Enjoy.
