I don't think that is possible. I mean making a curve pipe or "S" shape. Unless LGG can add kinda the same funcionality that mods like procedural parts or procedural fairings have to edit curves.

a shape like this

Oh, that is totally doable, even with procedural parts.

What I meant was something like this
 

Spoiler

The transition from the intake on the top to the exhaust on the bottom-rear is really smooth, no sharp angles. That type of shape are impossible to do in KSP, which limits a lot of creative designs, like those inspired by X-33 body, Rafale intakes, Dream Chaser, flying wings, or streamlined style in general

i think only cones or fairings are kinda able do this intake-to-exhaust transition, but it would look bad. we would need smooth curved parts for that

When will we get more included Textures, like Turbofan inlets?

Likely never from Linux, he's very busy I assume. You can make your own textures, which fills the need for custom textures.

Never from me sorry.  I don't do textures, graphics or models, it's bad enough when I try to do a button.

However, if someone were to submit something for inclusion, I'd be happy to do so

[ItsJustLuci]

would there be any way to get this to play nice with confirmal decals or is the geometry just too complex?

[QubicQuantum]

i cant seem to open the configuration gui on the parts. ive used f, tried unbinding what was also bound to f by default, couldnt get rmb to work either

New release, 0.7.0.4

• Fixed path for loading images (broken by new launcher)

[Captain_Gropius]

I've discovered this mod recently and I have to say it's fantastic, it allowed me to go beyond on my aircraft recreations, thanks @linuxgurugamer for maintaining and continuing the good of work of @CarnationRED

• A couple questions...is it possible to import the shaders of Textures Unlimited to have metalic textures of the same type?
• Would it be possible to have procedural air intakes in the framework of this mod? I always thought that it would be cool to have a procedural airIntake mod, so I created a part .cfg and modified the base .mu on blender to make it more like an intake to check if it's possible to do it without having to write new modules, but the new part only appears in the parts list, once loaded in a craft it takes the shape of the regular CRFP fuselage, I assume the module code reloads the basic shape from somewhere.

Thanks!

First, your welcome

Second, I'm not the developer of this mod, just maintaining it.  That being said, I don't think the shaders can be moved/imported to this mod without some work.  Maybe if someone else gets the urge, but for me, this is in maintenance mode

[JcoolTheShipbuilder]

I downloaded the supported texture mods, put them into gamedata, and also have this mod installed, but I still cant switch the textures

My Fillet>Camfer button broke, has that happened to anyone else?

Logs pending

Same. It is just supposed to be click it to toggle, correct?

It used to toggle back and forth for me, I think.

[Swampycow]

Just wanted to say this is a really cool mod, thanks to @linuxgurugamer for maintaining it. 
Any demand for RSS/RP1 configs? If there's none already and some demand i can look into making some.

[ctbram]

Can it be used with ksp 1.12.x?  I am 7 years into a campaign and don't want to add a mod that [breaks] my persistent.sfs

This is basically the user friendly version of Procedural Parts, and I love it! Thanks again for bringing these mods back!

"user friendly"? I am staring at a tube now for an hour trying to make it bend a little!!@!@!

Maybe someone can make a video showing how "user friendly" it is because to me it seems you have to have a degree in quanatum-uclidean-pan-dimensional-physics and a minimum IQ of 3000 to use it

It's simple enough once you get it. I don't use it anymore because there are some issues with Symmetry and the chamfers don't work anymore.  Procedural Parts has hollow parts now, and Offset options. It's giving this a run for it's money. I was going to grab some screenshots for you but it seems my CRFP install is borked. I'll describe it, if it's of no help I apologize. If you're trying to 'bend' a pipe like, a corner pipe shape or something, I'm not sure that is possible.

Creating a part is beyond me, never tried it. But using the menu to edit the part from the standard cylinder is easier. It's a cylinder by default, but the sliders let you change each corner from round to sharp. The green button will change the corner shape (when it works). The length option is further down the menu. Then below the length there's options like Run and Rise (IIRC), which offset up/down or left/right. There are also texture options within that menu, and an option to not use textures and use a solid colour instead.

Edit: I wanted to clarify that making a single part in a pipe shape is likely not possible. But this mod can do that shape in a couple of parts because you can offset the axis bottom/top nodes. Meaning a couple pieces could form such a shape.

I'm just reporting a incompatibility for anyone else also stumbling on this issue.
This isn't not a real bug report because i just rebooted my KSP1 playthrough after a long time and i'm not sure CC mod is up to date with KSP version.
Alongside this mod, i installed also Allista's Configurable Containers v2.6.2.1 and main UI panel won't open.
I found in log file a line with "Failed to add Resource [long integer number] to Simulation PartSet etc etc"
It appears some resource is being removed while other parts/modules are trying to use it, and KSP isn't too happy about it.

Hi, congrats for this mod

This mod would be great if we could shape shields in order to adapt them on whatever re-entry shuttle!!

Is it possible?
