Space_nico Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) If I could help, I put a link below where you can find plenty informations and details about Europa and Ariane launchers! It's in french but I guess translators could do the job but feel free to ask me for translations! http://www.capcomespace.net/dossiers/espace_europeen/ariane/index.htm Edit : I've posted a long time ago about Ariane 4 fairing and already existing parts we have in BDB. All hail Ariane 4 launchers! :-) Edited March 1 by Space_nico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i know the Ariane 4 fairing exists in BDB already, but they all have slight differences that i think warrant different parts. Though i might reuse the Ariane 4 fairing ill make for the Tantares Soyuz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waefers Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) On 12/20/2024 at 11:16 PM, CobaltWolf said: Introducing... ELBOW European Launches, Boosters, and Orbital Widgets (Above is heavily WIP and is made to natively use the Resurfaced PBR shader) Some will remember, about 7 years ago, @Beale and myself made a mod called Commonwealth Rockets Expansion. I was interested because British rocketry has always had a special place in my heart, and there’s a lot of really neat designs to take inspiration from. Unfortunately, we ran into issues trying to define the scope - should a British-based rocketry mod include Europa? Europa 3? What about the French, German, and Italian contributions to European spaceflight? Ultimately, I wound up simply returning to BDB. There was lots to be done there, I was finally starting to get happy with the art style, and so eventually I dropped from the CRE team. Beale and @Well did a fantastic job completing it, but the end product never sat right with me. Fast forward to now. BDB is in the best spot its ever been, in no small part thanks to the amazing collaboration of @Zorg, @Invaderchaos, and @Rodger. I never stopped thinking about the idea of a BDB, but for British rockets. But then that question of scope came up again. Then I saw a project @CardZLol was working on, and realized the simple solution - one mod, like BDB or Tantares, but covering the gamut of European space and rocketry projects. The name came easily - it was inspired by ELDO, or the European Launcher Development Organization, one of the predecessors to the ESA. Just one problem - such a project is far too much of a commitment for me on my own. Luckily, I don’t have to be! In the spirit of collaboration, and yes, infighting so common of pan-European projects, I envisioned this as a large group effort, with each contributor bringing their own interests, time, and energy. Many hands make light work, as it were. So far at least 6 experienced modders have volunteered to contribute, either immediately or in the future when IRL allows. I personally am responsible for the British projects - Black Knight, Black Arrow, Black Prince, Blue Streak, and the Blue Streak’s derivates such as Europa 1, 2, and 3’s first stages. I’ll allow the other contributors to announce themselves here in their own time. Preemptive FAQ: Are you still going to work on BDB? Yes! I tend to not plan too much farther than my current project (no sense in thinking about parts I won’t be able to make for YEARS), but I have at least one major project for BDB that I’d like to share some time in 2025. I can’t promise a release for the 10th anniversary but maybe a dev version on GitHub. Are you planning to add <X>? Due to the nature of the project, the scope is essentially as big as the contributors want to make it. I’ve already stated my plans above, everything else will have to come from others. When will it be released? Right now we have assets for several part families that have received enough progress to show off, but none are close to being in game. Rest assured, now that the announcement has been made, we’ll be able to create a GitHub repository which will be updated as progress is made. What happens if the forums die? How will we keep track of the project? Failing all else, the GitHub repository should be a stable place that can be used to provide updates or direct people to a new place for discussion. This post will eventually transition into being the thread OP for the mod with release info, screenshot gallery, etc. And I'm sure the other authors will add their voices over time. This mod is amazing , finally a mod with good looking British and ELDO Rockets, ive always loved those rockets since I found them, didn't know my country even had a space program until not long ago, Ive been using CRE for a bit and they're already good, now theres a revamp mod we all needed. Just some questions about them- Will this mod have realfuels support Will it have Prospero(I'm an idiot, theres an untextured version on-top of Black Arrow) and Beagle-2 (or maybe even other satellites like the Ariel series or the Skynet series) (I ask of these two because I'm using a modified CRE with a realfuels config and a re-integrated Prospero which was unused by a certain version of CRE) And if possible will there be support for modular launchpads with the real launch pads for each system (Also I'm hoping there will be a nosecone for the Blue streak to recreate the missile variant, this was partially added in CRE but didn't have an aerodynamic nose part) These are just some thing I thought were missing from original CRE and would be good to have integrated out of the box or as easily accessible configs Also I'm guessing this will be added to CKAN eventually when it releases. Edited March 5 by Waefers Asked about Prospero but one image included an untextured version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
