mk-1 parachute

[YoshiFan501]

i think it needs to be retextured. it doesnt match the capsule

Parachutes (drag chutes) rarely match the machine attached. The Space Shuttle has a red on white chute. B-52 has a red on yellow or black on beige (depending on the model)

I'm surprise someone hasn't made a mod that changes the chute textures to "Red Bull" or "Hot Pink" or the James Bond "Union Jack" or even a "Smiley Face", etc, etc. I just ruined someones (a modder) weekend!

I think he doesn't mean the parachute dome itself but the white 'casing' part that you physically place on the ship in the VAB. It matched the old mk.1 pod, but not the new one...

Yea that's what I meant

Space program respects functionalism. I want my parachutes to save my life, not look nice. I want to land with my body intact, not with style.

"The styles are a lie."

-Le Corbusier

"It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, of all things physical and metaphysical, of all things human and all things superhuman, of all true manifestations of the head, of the heart, of the soul, that the life is recognizable in its expression, that form ever follows function. This is the law."

-Louis Sullivan

I'm trolling a bit, but you sure require some aloe vera after this.

I actually find the contrast to be fairly helpful. If I can see the "white hat" on my capsule, I know I can still bring back the pilot safely, come what may.
