I've been getting B9 part switch errors for years, not once has one caused any problems

Didn't say it was causing problems just posting the errors in case Dev wanted to know about it. Thanks.

Any plans for a Jupiter-246 Stretched Heavy type engine mount? Not that I need one right now, but that would be sick!

And thank you @EStreetRockets and @Invaderchaos so much for... everything this mod has to offer. You guys are carrying my DIRECT thread.

I second this i love this engine mount

@EStreetRockets So the b9 errors I posted previously are because of FARc. Once I remove it the b9 errors go away. But if I want to keep FARc and not get the errors I made changes to oranges.shuttle-c.jettisondoor.3125.cfg and removed MODULE from both Long and Medium subtypes and in oranges_jupiter_fairingbase_saf.cfg I added a } after transform = 625-cone. So my question, were these truly errors in the files or is it something else?

Please help!
This mod brings me so much joy but I seem to get this weird shading bug on the parts from this mod.
I have tried changing the config files on Scatterer, but that doesn't seem to fix anything (I have tried adjusting Shadow Cascades, but I have that maxed in my game graphics settings). I can see other people's photos with similar (im guessing) visual mods. I currently have Stock Volumetric Clouds, EVE, Scatterer, Shabby, Shaddy, Spectra, and Parallax. All the other mods I have are fine, but I can only see this shadowing on the parts in this mod.

^Screen grabs of the shading going funny

I appreciate any help I can get! :D

In the pictures, your using the External Tank from the reDIRECT mod instead of the ORANGES External Tank. The reDIRECT tank isn't supported anymore and has shading issues. Be sure that you have the ORANGES mod installed from GitHub: https://github.com/EStreetRockets/ORANGES (Click: Code -> Download)

Ohhhh, thank you for pointing that out. I just downloaded all the recommended mods with the benjee's orbiter construction kit and I would have never figured that out.

Thank you kind sir! :cool:

I've updated and I am using the beta-2 on the github, but I cannot find the Shuttle-C parts anywhere. Am I just on the wrong meta, or am I just blind and cant find it in my parts lists?

do you have this path:  GameData\ORANGES\Parts\Sidemount

beta-2 doesn`t have shuttle-c parts. beta-2 is a release but Shutlle-C-parts are in the experimental branch here:

Hey y'all!! Check out the first batch new stuff in a little while. I've added color variants to the NLS-3 intertank to give some more flexibility. They are available on Github! (Images courtesy of @sporpolaka).

In other news, I'm currently working on balancing the Shuttle-C parts and working out the kinks with that part set. I also hope to be able to provide a guide to flying sidemount vehicles in KSP. I have properly balanced the 3.125m part set, as well as fixed issues with jettisoning the payload shroud. These changes will be uploaded to Github soon. The Shuttle-C Block II with the 5m payload shroud is uncontrollable during flight when loaded with a full payload. I am still working on a solution so you can use these parts with all the upper stages, crew capsules, space probes, and lunar landers you may want.

Appreciate some love going into the Sidemount, always had soft spot for it. Any any thoughts on an optional heatshield/cone for the propulsion section of the Sidemount. Always loved the idea of reusing that bit.

It's still a maybe. I'm prioritizing getting sidemount functional and capable of supporting heavy upper stages before any new parts.

I just pushed some new updates to Github. They include some edits to make sidemount vehicles fly better and a new stretched variant of the NLSUS-XL based on the EDS from the alternate history timeline Boldly Going. Hopefully you can use it with the 5m Shuttle-C payload shroud to launch lunar landers and deep space missions! Please let me know if the fixes to the sidemount parts work; I really appreciate your feedback.
