OrbitalManeuvers Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I think you might be missing the path "AemerFactory" in both the source zip on github, and the zip from SpaceDock. The parts won't load unless they live in a folder called "GameData\AemerFactory\Vega" and both your zips have "GameData\Vega" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is already a mod featuring Ariane 5: I prefer focus on newer ESA stuff, i will maybe make older stuff in the futur but i do not see the need to do know The launchpad are not planned, if me or @scribstar decide to do it, it will be in the far future. You can use this two mod to make close replica of the launchpad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling90 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 generic texture, no details, too smooth texture, you need to improve the texure and details if you want to compare to mod like knes by @Well, contares by @hraban or bluedog by @CobaltWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valid review, the part seem a little bit overpowered for i think Ariane 6 seem capable, i like very much the dual payload launch, it look sexy when i deploy my two scansat probe, do you plan to add more payload option like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to increse the payload option for both vega and ariane after i finish space rider ( who drive me nuts for payload door animation). 16 hours ago, RocketFowl said: Valid review, the part seem a little bit overpowered for i think Ariane 6 seem capable That's the problem with real rocket to kerbin, i use same size tank for fuel capacity and a lot lower value for engine performance. 16 hours ago, Bling90 said: generic texture, no details, too smooth texture, you need to improve the texure and details if you want to compare to mod like knes by @Well, contares by @hraban or bluedog by @CobaltWolf I don't compare this mod to experimented mod maker and mod who where improved for litteral years. I don't know how to do texture, both myself and @scribstar use procedural and a little bit of AI generated texture for the mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good plan, because if you compare your work to their work at your current time into modelling/texturing - well, it's pretty much comparable or better. (I compared some pictures from page 2 of BDB from 7 years ago to yours... not that it's a competition). Great to see the great progress. Particularly glad to see the Vulcain engine appearing. The modelling is fantastic, texturing is nice and clean and looks good. Edited November 14, 2022 by 610yesnolovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I certainly don't enjoy someone using my work to put down another author, I will say that texturing isn't that hard. Really just a simple set of procedures that you repeat over and over again. Speed comes with practice. (and as @610yesnolovely pointed out, these are far, far better than BDB's early development. The models are gorgeous) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have autostrut enable or strut on the part? If not try enable it in VAB context menu, if you do not have the option enable Advanced Tweakable in settings. The decoupler act the same as stock one, if you do not have strut it will shake in all direction. If this don't work, post a picture and the log so i can try to reproduce the event.
