While we wait for the rest of the Jupiter rocket parts, what parts folder in BDB is that engine mount in?

I need it for... reasons. ;)

I believe that's the S-II 7 engine mount. It's tweakscaled of course from 6.25 to 5.

Do you think you could make a version of the NLS-3 tank that has an orange intertank? I like using as an LRB tank, but it looks awkward with the intertank that's there. Just a suggestion though

Sure! Add it to the Github issues please.

Some pictures of my latest launch using the 8.4m (5m KSP) Ares V. @EStreetRockets @Invaderchaos I know you said you weren't doing the 8.4m (5m) Ares V, but could we get at least just the engine mount? Or perhaps a 'flat' 5m engine mount without the flares to make it more look like Ares V? Just a suggestion.

Yeah, some kind of flush 8.4m engine mount akin to Ares V or SLS would be nice

Maybe. I think I'll make a versatile cylindrical engine mount that can support many different engine set ups.

the tower sure, but i have modular launch pads and the mobile launcher the part the shuttle is actually standing on is way different

 

Ohhh whoops :P

Looks like Katniss' launch pad, I think. 

Can I get a link to the mod or something? Nothing really comes up when I search for this.

BTW the 8.4m Ares V with SSMEs had the flares.

Ah. Didn't know that. They're still not as bad as the NLS flares though it looks like to me. The Ares V boattail tapers inward, making the flared engine fairings less intrusive imo. 

Also, IDK why, but that image looks wrong to me... just... skinny Ares V and that Ares I... the short booster with long second stage... does not look right.

What mods for DIRECT would you recommend to go with this?

This mod contains the engine mounts, inline External Tanks, and instrument ring and fairings, interstage, and upper stage for DIRECT launchers.

DylanSemrau's PhotonCorp provides fantastic 2, 3, 4, and 5 segment Solid Rocket Boosters and their decouplers/nosecones.

Benjee's Artemis Construction Kit provides you with the greatest looking and most accurate Orion/SLS than any other mod.

EStreetRockets also made Rocket Motor Menagerie, which provides you with a great RS-25 which the ORANGES engine mounts are designed for.

Nertea's Cryoengines provides the best J-2X you're gonna find.

Bluedog Design Bureau's (I'm not even gonna bother listing the devs) RS-68 and RL10B-2 are the best you're gonna get for this game, and S-II engine mount also included in the mod is the best for mounting your upper stage engines on.
I understand the mod contains basically a trillion parts, so you can go to the Parts folder for the mod and delete the folders containing parts you do not want.

And finally, Alpha's Modular Launch Pads gives you some really nice looking pads to put your rockets on.

Typos, typos, typos! I love embarrassing myself on the forums, yay!
