SpaceX Falcon 1

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Not much to say about it.

I am not quiete happy about 2nd Stage and Fairing textures (Normalmaps), I will remake them probably. I am modelling the rocket 1:1 and scale everything down for KSP, up to now you can transport a 0.625m satellite into Orbit, for bigger payloads the rocket is to small, so it is more ore less a fun project...

Ps.: I made the 2nd Stage with much fantasy, there weren`t many reference pictures, if anyone has some it would be great if you could upload them here.:)

Thanks

Nice! Are you planning to release this? I may use it alongside a Soyuz, looks ready for a prerelease

[R0cketC0der]

Looks great. As for the second stage, I found this: http://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1737&context=smallsat

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Probably tomorrow.

Oh thank you for that! That it's what I need! But theres one problem: The nodes (You know, these green things in the editor) are too big. Its's nnot easy to get some parrs at the correct place, because the nodes are so big. The nodes at the 0.625m parts are smaller, but I don't know how to make them smaller. Does anyone know something about that?

[Kerbal01]

There is a line in the .cfg, you can make them either size1 size2 or size3. Nice job BTW.

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Thanks, I will try that

The node definitions should look like this

node_stack_top = x.x, x.x, x.x, x.x, x.x, x.x, x

The final x is the node size. The default is 1 (1.25m), 0 is 0.625m. If you use transforms in the model to make the nodes, though, I can't help you. I think DarthVader might be right, though.

Thank you guys that worked!

Here are pictures of the new 2nd Stage, I am starting texturing right now:

By the way: Is the texture which is shown on the sketch here http://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1737&context=smallsat correct? In some sketches the colours are different than in real life...

Judging from pictures of the actual launches, the tank should be white. Can't say much about the rest though.

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Okay. I think I will make it grey then.

[blackheart612]

Hey potatocake, why not make it stockalike white? And make the black like kerbodyne's color black on tanks.

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Hi blackheart, thats a great idea! I will release this in some versions: A version where it is like in real life, just adapted to 64% of its size, a RSS Version (1:1) and a Stockalike version. Thanks for the idea!

[blackheart612]

Hahaha No problem

[Kerbal01]

You adding this to the Launchers Pack?, also what happened with the new Delta II?

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Nope, this is standalone. I don`t think the launchers pack would be so good...when I want to make a package, then the quality of the parts of the packages loweres automatically. I can concentrate me somehow better on details if its something which standsalone, I haven`t got any idea why. My newer Delta II is lying on my Desktop, there would be some things to do to get it working as I wanted to, but for the first time it won`t be released.
