Red Rooster Industries Aerospace Pack (WIP)

[st3rv]

So I decided to start making some addons for KSP a couple of days ago, thus far I've managed to implement a couple of basic parts while trying to learn the ins and outs of unity and KSP. Naturally things will get tougher for me as my ambitions increase but my ultimate goal here is to create an aerospace pack that provides some nice parts in a variety of shapes and sizes.

I'll maintain THIS post with an image album and when there is a release it will be added here.

I'm happy to answer any questions and I am open to any ideas you might have about parts you'd like to see in the pack.

Another thing is, I'm always looking to collaborate. I enjoy working with other people towards a mutual goal and as such I'm open to offers on that front.

Nice looking parts mate. I am a bit of a collector of command pods so can't wait to see this on SpacePort!

2-kerbal 1.25m caliber spaceplane cockpit? Do want!

(Like yesterday, even, because I have a mission that's been on the backburner for two months by now, and lack of the right 2-kerbal plane cockpit for it is one of the reasons.)

Will it have an IVA?

(PARTS LOOK AWESOME!)

Thanks! It's a good excuse to get my 3D game on after being locked into university work for the last 3 years. I spent all that time learning UDK only to find that Unity was the way forward! (typical!)

Anyway, yeah the plan is to have IVA in there but my first goal is to get the very basics down. I've added a fuel tank but I've had a problem getting the nodes set up correctly.

So my plan here is to overcome the problem with nodes, establish a standard size (instead of using rescaleFactor) and work 1-1 every time.

I care alot about KSP, literally in my top 5 all time favourite games. So naturally, any content I create for it has absolutely got to be the best it can be.

ALBUM UPDATE: Been a nice guy and put the new images first

Download? Ples? Those look so awesome, I want them! Although I am surprised by the lack of Red Boosters in this thread though.

Red Rooster Super Booster? That has to be done.

It is done.

As far as download goes, I literally started all this 2 days ago so it could be a few weeks yet! Hang in there I'm working on it

Do you have any plans to work on medium or large space plane parts?

Eventually, yeah definitely. I'm aiming to get the first pack down with 1.25m parts and some custom parts.

Later down the line I'd like to make a 2.5m set with a dome styled cockpit to provide a really sweet IVA view but thats a long way down the road.

Excellent, I like the cockpits you are doing at the moment they look like a cross between an F16 and a Rafale.

Looks really promising! Looking forward to this. I'm glad you added your own Kerbal-ish touch to the designs instead of going for the hyper-realistic some people try to go towards.

Only issue in my opinion is the textures or lighting glow, etc (don't know the technical term) doesn't seem to fit or show the same way as vanilla KSP and maybe aren't detailed enough (looks too "soft"). If that makes sense. But you're doing great, this criticism is just for much later on when you polish it, no biggie now!

Hmmm... Interesting... I like the idea of non-circular jet engines...
