[KSP 1.10] RSS-CanaveralHD (v1.0, 2021-06-26) and CanaveralPads (v1.1, 2021-08-09)

[Al2Me6]

RSS-CanaveralHD

An add-on to RealSolarSystem that provides high-quality, realistic textures for the Cape Canaveral area. It builds on work by Katniss218 and AnticlockwisePropeller, combining their advantages and alleviating some drawbacks. Notably, a decal is placed under the visible static so that there is terrain (rather than water) underneath.

Note that this mod does not provide any additional launch pads. The stock KSC and the stock launch pad are repositioned to the visitor center.

CanaveralPads

A package of KerbalKonstructs configurations that adds historical launch pads and structures to RSS-CanaveralHD. Most of the configs were provided by Discord user Aviation365, while the LC-39 asset was provided by Katniss218.

Pads and statics provided:

Ayyy! Nice to see it getting a forum thread!

Best of luck, and hopefully I can focus mostly on my own timeline now

Amazing stuff! Looks incredible

[Lil_Bread402]

do you ever think a port will be made for KSRSS? I'd love to try and do that out but I have some other life stuff.

[EndAllFilms]

哎呀！很高兴看到它获得一个论坛主题！

祝你好运，希望我现在可以主要关注我自己的时间表

Hello, I would like to know what is the difference between this mod and the mod you released, which one has higher definition

[Neveszzz]

Is it compatible with the latest ksp version?

Yes still works in Aug 2024. The texture is a little bit above the actual ground but it works for the most part.

[BLUAV8R]

Not only does it still work, but it's set to install by default if you follow the realism overhaul installation instructions here. Its not perfect but its really well done and a lot better to look at than weird empty coastline. Especially when so much of the beginning of an RP-1 playthrough is spent in atmosphere around the KSC.

Can you change the size of this for KSRSS?
