[1.12.x] Rocketdyne F-1 Liquid Engine (Saturn V main engines) BETA

[linuxgurugamer]

 

This is a replica of the F-1 engine used on the Saturn V rocket, originally made by user @1096bimu.  He hasn't been around since 2014

Original thread is here:  https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/44146-021x-rocketdyne-f-1-liquid-engine-saturn-v-main-engines-updated-v12/

A 1:1 replica of the F-1 engines used on the Saturn V moon rockets. It has the same realistic size, weight thrust and ISP and probably a bit OP for Kerbals.

It is highly detailed (custom low-poly mesh) with lots of textures, smoke and even lights for added effect. Not suitable for regular laptop users.
