Smaller chutes compatible with RP-1/0?

[olegst90]

Recently I've started playing RSS+RO+RP-1, however I noticed that chute parts all are quite big for a tiny rocket like Aerobee. Are there any compatible small chutes? I know there is TweakScale mod, but is it compatible with RP-1/0?

The included real chutes parachutes have a resize feature. After you attach the parachute, go into the actions group tab and left click the parachute. That will open up the configuration menu.

^ this ^

RealChutes has a weird old UI that can only be accessed via the action groups menu, but it lets you resize the parachute case and set all the parameters for the chutes like when you want it to open, desired speed on landing and what planet to base its calculations on (landing on Venus requires little more than a cocktail umbrella, but on Mars anything but the tiniest of probes will be a parachute-assisted powered landing at best) among other things.

I recommend that you add the mod Custom Parachute Messages, which as the name suggests allows you to customise your RealChutes parachutes either Perseverence-style with an encoded message, or with a variety of patterns. Available on CKAN or here:

It turned out some chute models don't have resize control in the Real Chute menu, it was one of the radials. Normal Mk1 worked fine, though, and I managed to resize it. Thank you!
