[0.21.X] Rocketdyne F-1 Liquid Engine (Saturn V main engines) UPDATED v1.2

[Stone Blue]

I was just going thru my mod list, and cleaning house and updating mods I have collected, and came across the original .7z for one of versions of this mod...

Since there seems to be some (relatively) recent interest in this (abandoned?) mod, and the original links are dead, I repacked the .7z to .zip, and renamed it to closer match the title of this thread...thats all i changed: contents are all original.

Based on the open license included in the archive, i figured i would throw it up on my GoogleDrive for awhile, in case someone else wants to grab it and resurrect this...i guess there other versions of the F-1 out there in other mods, but here ya go if you want THIS one I guess...

OLD, lower memory version:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0D_PFGuuyqobXAtcm5LV1h4WDg/view?usp=sharing

EDIT- Doh!...I should have read a couple pages back, instead of just going from first page to last page in the thread...

I see NathanKell has a link where you can get the other version...

i grabbed it, also just renamed it, and threw it up on my googleDrive also (Hope you dont mind NathanKell...If you want me to take it down, just PM me):

NEW, larger memory version:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0D_PFGuuyqoZUd0UE9ERkY1Uk0/view?usp=sharing

EDIT #2: Ugh...I somehow downloaded the same version for both links...

its fixed now...Way to tell, is the NEW version should be 23.6MB when extracted, OLD version should be 3.9MB when extracted...Sorry...I need to learn not to post stuff like this that requires some brain function, after 11:00PM...lol

I do the opposite of mind! Great work and thanks from the community!

Found this by chance on CKAN, and this might be the prettiest part for KSP I've seen so far. Wow. For practical usage one needs to make a few changes to the cfg, but damn this is beautiful.

This same engine is used in FASA.

Does anyone know if this engine works under 1.1? I found it on ckan for 1.1 but can't find it in the VAB. Maybe anyone can help. Thanks.

You might try running a cfg like this

@PART[*]:HAS[~TechRequired[]]:Final
{
	TechRequired = start
        entryCost = 1200
        cost = 250
}

Looking at the cfg it's missing a couple of things

[Bowman]

Thank you! It worked out pretty well. Theres just a feature I noticed: It's not able to fully shutdown the engine. Is this correct?

Thank you again. This works very nice and powers my contracted station to it's mars orbit.

[Master_K]

Update it to 1.2.2.1622 please!! We need them thrust boi!

heya thanks for download

could you make a more stockalike and low res version of this? my pc would catch on fire if I installed it.

The mod you are looking for is called Bluedog Design Bureau. If you want even more stockalike, try Restock. Either way, note that the last previous post here was over two years ago.

[darthvader15001]

my pc would also catch on fire at the part count of BDB.

You necroposted, meaning you brought a 'dead' thread back to life, which is kind of frowned upon. 

This mod is also dead considering the author hasn't been on the forum since 2014.

If you would like an F-1 engine, there are three ways to get it: BDB, FASA, or through the Making History DLC. If you want a better looking F-1 with the DLC, use Restock/Restock+.

Ok thanks I won’t do it again I’m new to the forums

[CobaltWolf]

Yeah I wouldn't hold my breath...

Install BDB and delete everything other than the F-1? I'm only half joking.

There's also the Boar engine from Restock, I can't remember if you need the MH DLC for it though.

I have both DLCs

Both posters above have given great alternatives. There *are* definately better versions of this mod out there.

However, IMHO, I've never understood the whole "OMG!... you posted on a thread older than 6mos old!! "
If necroposting is such a horrible thing, why shouldnt the forums just automatically wipe every thread off the server, that hasnt had a relevant post on it within  the last 6 mos?
Oh, but wait... then people wouldnt be able to use the standard response for people posting new threads looking for info/help, of... "You posted a question that has been answered before, go search for an existing thread..."

I dont see a problem with "necroposting", at least when the post is relevant and posted on an Add-On Development or Release thread, when there is content still available. *Especially*, when it still works. Also, especially when there is anything but an ARR license on the content.

I've also always hated when people immediately go to, "The mod is DEAD, Jim!" just because its old, and/or "The author isnt around, so mod is dead".
I understand there *are* times when its OK to point out when there is absolutely no life left in a mod, but see my point above.

@darthvader15001 dont get discouraged and think you cant post on old threads. *Yes*, think about whether your post is really relevant, and really try to search, and to read previous posts in old threads, before posting, but you dont have to *NOT* necropost, *ever*,  just because people who arent forum moderators tell you not to...

Relevant thread content:
While MeCripp has provided a link to the "new", hi-res version, with .dds textures, here's the "old" version which is lower res (but has .pngs instead of .dds textures):

Well this is a blast from the past. I remember this! Dang... How do folks even find these old threads?

Often, by having them pop-up in the latest forum activity, when someone "necroposts" on them

You can post anywhere you want, in any thread you want. It'll be in your best interest to look backwards in the thread before you post, just so you understand the state of the mod, and the last things said about it. But people showing interest in old mods should never be discouraged!

And this is why.

[darthvader15001]

Yea I've gotten a bit infamous from this necropost

It would be nice if someone like @linuxgurugamer would adopt this mod and update it but I think the download 404s.

Also rule 2.4 b is necromoaning
