KW Rocketry v2.7

Version 1.02 Compatibility

By Winston & Kickasskyle

KW Rocketry is the premiere modpack produced by Kickasskyle and Winston. Built originally for KSP version .15, KW Rocketry has seen many iterations, and has been reworked for KSP version .22 up to what we see now. KW Rocketry was originally produced as a pack meant to add more parts with realistic balance to KSP, with a focus on VAB built vehicles. KSP has been widely used, however, for everything from fuel stations to shuttles and has seen many fan built craft posted on the KSP official forums.

KW Rocketry now features emissives on every engine, normals for every part, and a number of brand new parts, including side-mounted tanks styled after those on the Vostok and Soyuz rockets. KW Rocketry also includes two different versions of the vanilla strut part, a choice of automatic or manual engine fairings and a number of 1-5m converter fuel tank parts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to install:

Firstly, ensure any older version of KW has been removed.


How to install:
Firstly, Insure any older version of KW has been removed. (GameData/KWRocketry)


----MAIN INSTALLATION----
How to install:
Firstly, Insure any older version of KW has been removed. (GameData/KWRocketry)


----MAIN INSTALLATION----
Now, for a normal install simply unpack the GameData folder included in the download 
>> MERGING << the folders when prompted. This should be all you are required to do 
for a basic install.


----INSTANT POWER RESPONSE ----
For alteratively instant power response on engines 
you have to extract the GameData folder contained within the Extras/InstantPowerResponseConfigs 
folder after having previously installed KW Rocketry as above.You should merge and overwrite 
the parts files when prompted and this should mean your engines have instant power response. 


----REDUCED CLAMP SOUNDS (RECOMMENDED)----
A replacement sound file for the stock launch clamp as by default it drowns out our
custom sound effects.
Reduced Clamp sound installation is similar to that above, extract the GameData 
folder from within Extras/ReduceClampSounds.


----SUB ASSEMBLIES----
To install the subassemblies, simply extract the folder labeled Subassemblies located 
within the Extras folder into your KSP save folder of choice, for example:

Kerbal Space Program/saves/(SaveGameName)/

Compatibility:

Some parts may need to be replaced in the VAB to correct any node changes that have been updated.

Sorry for the iffy start there, we're running off of mediafire until we fix spaceport.

Dare i say we got abit overexcited and ahead of ourselves.

Nice Seeing You haven't abandoned this mod.

say, uh what about some proceedural fairings?

At some point i'm hoping to do what CBBP did and manufacture some.

Spaceport was messed up, Luckily it's just been fixed.

Failing that you can use the alternative Mediafire link in the OP.

Every time i enter VAB or SPH KSP just CTD..

The game starts up fine, but when i try to enter the VAB or the Space hangar the game just crash, every time. :/

Can provide with any information if asked.

Edit: I've tried to figure out what it is that's making it crash, i've created a new game, still crash.

Everything i did only made it crash except removing the KW pack, then it works fine! So it's something in the KW pack that make it crash.

Edit 2: Checked the crash logs, got this:KERNELBASE.dll caused a Breakpoint (0x80000003)

in module KERNELBASE.dll at 0023:75a63219.
