[0.24.2] More Fuel Types (aka. NEARFuels) - VER 1.3

No... that's not what's going on. Read my post again.

Oh. Right. That is silly. Maybe Saab wanted tank volumes to be mostly independent of fuel mix, regardless of how unrealistic it may be?

Could be, it still seems silly and counter-intuitive though :-)

just my 0.02$

Well, most hydrolox engines do use ~6 times as much LOx by mass as LH2, and if this mod has all fuels be approximately the same density, then your LOx tanks will be 6x as big as your LH2 tanks.

The calculations done with this pack were based on mass only, not converting units to liters. I will most likely be killing this project, as my ultimate goal in creating it was to get better performance from launch vehicles in 6.4x RSS. When I first came back to this after a work hiatus, I attempted to continue to rebalance, however, it looks like this will be what I will ultimately release next:

Launch Vehicles massed and scaled for 6.4x RSS performance.

Real Fuels engine configs which will not be stock-alike.

A patch which prevents collisions between resources from the Community Resource Pack and Real Fuels

Possibly a tech tree overhaul which plays out more like Buzz Aldrin's space program manager. You unlock whole boosters, and whole spacecraft.

Again, the reason I created this was to try to help bridge the gap between stock scale/experience KSP, and Realism Overhaul. That being said, as I have tried to develop this further, it has become clear that I will never get this done if I just focus on things that people have already done better, and instead use their platforms as a jumping off point to create something cohesive. This was a fun experiment, but ultimately there is a better way.

In any event, while not strictly related, this was only meant to be a stepping stone towards something bigger, but ultimately this particular implementation is not going to survive that transition. I am almost done with the Tantares overhaul, a couple other odds and ends, and the first couple nodes of a new tech tree, and I should be able to put out a workable version soonâ„¢.

We need an update, Sir!
