space_otter's KSC Upgrade

Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago, I decided to start a 2.5x scale career playthrough. So, I got a fresh new install, and started to get mods. However, When I got some KSC upgrade mods, they were broken, and I had to make my own. I decided that I really liked my new KSC and thought maybe some other people would like to play with it as well. So, I turned this back into Stock and released it!

Features:

  • Four new runways, one 1700m and the other 4800m, along with a 2500m X-runway
  • Five new launchpads, all aligned as the original except 4C, that is rotated by 90o
  • New terminals, fuel tanks, VABs, radio towers and more...
  • A harbour, connected to the KSC by road

Requirements:

  • Kerbal Konstructs and dependencies
  • Omega's Stockalike Structures
  • Ordinary Konstruction Co.
  • Tundra Space Centre
  • Kerbinside Remastered (The KerbinSideRemastered/Statics/ExampleBases/KSCUpgrades folder needs to be deleted)

License: MIT

Issues:

There may be some floating buildings, if you see one let me know! There might also be invisible bumps between buildings, drive carefully. 

This is my first mod, if I've done something wrong please let me know I will try and fix it! Any suggestions, like extra facilities or something like 'add more buildings in the south west' are welcome!

DEV UPDATE: 

Remade the harbour & road leading to it. This was originally quite janky, as it had been made quite roughly in 2.5x and hadn't been refined to stock. (Sorry for the 'poor visuals', this is an almost empty install prioritised for speed and fast loading times)

Also added a new tracking station/observatory, with large comm dishes, along with a facility designed to track incoming spaceplanes returning from orbit at the end of the long runway.

As always, please give suggestions & comments so I can improve the space centre even further!

make an array of LARGE satellite dishes between Kerbal and the mountains

Yes, I was thinking about that as well. Right now I'm working on redoing the area behind the KSC, I think it could be made a little more interesting. But I do agree that something could be done further away from the KSC - perhaps a series of radio beacons, to guide spaceplanes in for landing?

I completed my new update! This is for stock only though, but it fills up the peninsula nicely. As suggested, I added something between the KSC and the mountains, but not antenna dishes - I went for wind turbines!. Let me know what you think and if I should add more.

I also made a little tracking station on the KSC mountains:

And this nice little arrow for spaceplanes (not included in the latest version):

would this work with KSRSS?

I don't think so - but feel free to try... You would need to have a homeswitch config, which I don't have. Because I have the harbour, it would be especially difficult to make it work, as the KSC peninsula is different sizes in different mods. I'll probably see if I can figure something out. If I could separate the harbour as a different folder and it could be independently installed, then maybe we could have separate homeswitch configs then?
