Have you considered making a 'propeller engines' category for mods like Airplane Plus? It seems that currently all the props are in the miscellaneous category, and I think there's enough of them both in Airplane Plus and other mods to warrant them having their own category. Helicopter turboshaft engines and tail rotors could potentially go in their own category as well.

 

EDIT: Looking through the config, it appears this exists, but given that the prop engines all appear in the 'Miscellaneous' category I'm guessing that the prop engines category needs to be defined somewhere.

The propeller engines category exists in VABO itself. After all, players love to make those with robotics and they do love Airplane Plus (which I've made a config for and given it to this config pack). For simplicity's sake, a propeller engine is defined as any fan type engine which is usually unducted and ideally won't be taking you to supersonic speeds on its own power. The engine method that drives the fan isn't too important as ultimately, the in-game performance won't be very different per the method.

Took me a while to find it myself.

Thank you for this! Any chance of MKS being added?

FYI - the procedural parts patch will throw module manager errors. Possibly related to doing @Priority = 1  -- if there is not already a "Priority" defined in the VABORGANIZER node, I'm guessing that's the source of the error..

Great stuff my parts list is much cleaner now! Any chance of extraplanetary launchpads support?

Possibly. Its got a tone of parts. Ill need to reinstall it back because I cull out all the parts and just use the configs for support for MKS and PBS.

And maybe, if you can find the time:

I finished some Luciole configs, and have it in an MR for the 1.3 update. You can grab them now from my branch at https://github.com/jthero3/SDVABO_Support/tree/Updates if you want them sooner.

Heya, just wondering, is this intended for RSS/RO? If so ignore this comment

But if its not, then a lot of the sizes for the Tundra Exploration parts are wrong, all 4 of the F9 tanks are specified as 3.75m when they're 2.5m, the Falcon 1 Parts are 2.5m when they're 1.25m. 
The Rodan and Gigan pods and trunks do not have any labels, same goes for both the F9 V1 and F9 B4/B5 engine cluster/
The solar panels for Gigan, and the panels for the Dysprosium and Gaira 1 parts in TT have 2.5 and 1.25m labels when they're surface attached.
The Gigan nosecone is set to SRF when its (i believe) a 1.5m part.
And the rideshare adapters are also 2.5m when they should be 1.25m.

Hope this helps!

@SheepDog2142, would you have any interest in expanding the configs to include RLA Stockalike (RLA Reborn)?

I love RLA Reborn and was just diving into this exact thing! First time making a VABO config pack but Im guessing reverse engineering the existing sheepdog configs should work right?!

Hey, i found some issues with your Tantares config. For example all of the command modules are in the " Kerbal transport" category despite some of them being pods, landers or station modules which have their own categories. All the probe cores are also categorised as reaction wheels for some reason and i also found some minor issues like fuel tanks being marked as monoprop even though the can only hold LFO. 

I want to do VAB Organizer patches for all of Tantares mods and I'm thinking of including a heavily modified version of your config instead of making the same thing from the ground-up. But i want your permission first
