well, there r following parts in LM so far.

1. descent stage.

2. descent engine

3. Legs

4. rover box (empty so far)

5. ALSEP package

6. ascent engine

7. ascent stage

8. antennas

9. RCS

10. IVA

so, only engines and antennas can be mixed

well, and foldable rover as additional part upcoming.

and one more news.

this is development thread, so no DL here.

and we have talked with Frizzank and decided, that this thingie will be realised in FASA pack in upcoming update of FASA as soon as it will be ready.

The FASA integration is great news. Two talented modders sharing each other's knowledge is better than when they go at it alone.

And the amount of separate parts is just what I had in mind.

May I suggest making the ALSEP package a seismic scan. FASA doesn't have one of those yet and two of the experiments in the ALSEP were seismic in nature.

LM and Gemini scaling (0.64 from previous huge models)

and as you can see, there are "bones" (from animation) still a bit visible. despite it has been made completely transparent in 3Dmax.

what should i do with it?

Might I suggest making the docking ring of the Lunar Module a seperate part as well. That would allow it to be placed on your future Apollo Command Module. In case the Saturn V couldn't be manrated in time for launch, the plan was to launch the CSM+LM unmanned and then send a Saturn IB with a manned CSM Ferry to transfer the crew to the CSM+LM stack in orbit. While KSP doesn't simulate active/passive docking systems, it'd still be nice for role-playing purposes.

This has got to be the best LM model I have seen. I really hope you will make a CM and an LRV too! And someone is also making the saturn v and I think MrTheBull is making a CM but I forgot who is making the saturn v. Maybe you could contact MrTheBull and (whoever that is) and make an Apollo Mod! :D

If someone knows where that saturn v mod is just put it below me or something. :)

Check the FASA projects thread. Frizzank and DennyTX announced to create a complete Apollo pack included in the FASA mod. The first post also sais that CM and LRV will be done. The mod you are thinking of next to MrTheBull's is the Apollo Mission Pack.

Nice that descend module will be avaible as separate part, it will be usefull if i want to easily deliver rover to some planet, but im not in retro mood today and wont to use ALCOR or something other advanced craft.

By the way, does it has docking window like original NASA LM?

And one thing, i notoced that capsule (ascent stage) does not have engine on its own, will it be kept this way?

YOU MADE THE ENGINE BELLS RIGHT.

I love you forever.

Also, do please keep that 1:1 LM and IVA around, since I'd have to end up doing serious work rescaling it back to 1:1 anyway. :)

yup. models r in 1:1. and rescaled to kerbal size by rescaleFactor in CFG. u asked for RSS i guess?

also, DR and MCE are the first in my list of must have mods. awaiting every next updates with big impatience

The contact sensor on leg 1 was omitted on all LMs so that astronauts wouldn't risk suit puncture, but other than that, excellent model and IVA!

I was suggesting that so all the parts in FASA could be scaled by the same amount from the cfg. If they already are scaled and then a part I have is at 1:1 then there is another set of conversions you have to do to get everything at the proper scale.

I dealt with this early in Gemini and it gave me a head ache to no end. Some parts were scaled, some were not and some were just broken when there was an update.

There are several ways to scale things but it is best to keep everything in unison to avoid issues. Parts should be at 1:1 scale in their default form.

If its at 1:1 scale it will always work with the stock setup.

And the Saturn V, and the Saturn IB. It's gonna be a good day when it's released.
