These creations are extensively dependent on mods so please check the mods required under the corresponding spoilers. I am still trying to reduce mod dependency, but for now, these mods have been used in some craft files.

Very nice job, the crafts are amazing. I can't wait to see more!

[AirShark]

Thanks!

The KF-8E/F should be up soon.

[freakazoid13]

Oh btw, I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but me and a few of my friends cant get on curse at all. There's some sort of syncing error some people get when they try to get on curse.

The only mod I cant download is romfarer lazer. If you know of an alternate download for it or if you could provide a lite version without romfarer parts that would be great!

Its quite a shame, a lot of my favorite mods only have curse download

Download directly from the curse website and use winRAR to unzip the file.

http://www.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/category/gameplay

How i go about downloading mods, other than that you could ask OP to upload the mods to his mediafire account.

Also all the mods on Curse can be found here on the forums, just google the mod name EG: "KSP Forums romfarer lazer systems .24.2"

[Nik_601]

Everything's cool, but... Tooo many mods)

[AirShark]

How about lite versions without Romfarer, BDArmory, Infinite Dice and Strerchy Tanks :\

No I have never been able to get on curse that's the problem. It always says "The connection was reset" whenever I try to get on the site. Its not that i cant download anything or find the links, its just that I could never connect to the site in the first place.

I can see all the download links on the forum for mods but whenever its a link to a curse download and I click on it, it just brings me to "The connection was reset" or some random error (even if I type in the url, google it, or use another browser). Ive searched everywhere to figure out what the problem is and Ive been out of luck, Im thinking it may be a problem with my firewall blocking the site, but I have no clue how to fix it (trust me Ive tried). Its alot easier just asking for an alternate download on mediafire or dropbox.

I would be fine with BDArmory since I cant live without it XD

Updates!

Okay. So I've removed Romfarer, B12 and Infinite Dice dependency on all uploaded craft. The KF-8E and KF-8F have been uploaded and they are also non-dependent on said mods.

Also some minor modifications have been made to the KF-8C/D and KA-4C:

KA-4C Update:

Added a new 30mm gun to the centerline. It now has 33% more BRRRRRPPPPP!

KF-8C/D Update:

New wing root and longer wingspan = better maneuverability

:cool:Hats off to you my friend! Very nice work. Trust me As a fellow builder it's hard some times to look good and still fly.

[AirShark]

Thanks! It was tough to get those two elements working perfectly XD

[Voculus]

That's a seriously impressive roster of aircraft.

[xxninjabudderxx]

Is this thread dead?

[AirShark]

It's hibernating

I haven't had a lot of time to work on the models due to my studies and stuff, but I have updated some .24 models to .25 (it's only a matter of updating it). I can't promise when I'll have the new links up, but it shouldn't be too long.

[xxninjabudderxx]

Thanks, that's what I thought, really looking forward to the, well all the new planes you make i guess, i love the super kestrel, my favorite so far

[Hodo]

I love your eye for realism. One of your craft actually looks like the Tiawanese F-CK-1 Ching-Kuo fighter. Impressive work!

KADEC stirs back to life:

Developments

I have been very busy these last couple of months, but I have started to work on KADEC once again. I can update the old models to KSP .90 compatibility or I can begin work on a new set of aircraft that work using FAR.

Here is an example of what I mean.

New KF-9E Block 10

This is a new interpretation of the KF-9 Kestrel. This jet is larger, but is also much faster and more agile than the original KF-9 when using FAR. It can also carry a larger weapon load due to the larger wings and extra fuel.

Pics

KF-9E Prototype FTV-2 (Flight Test Vehicle 2)

KF-9E Block 10 Initial Production and Evaluation Variant

KF-9E Block 10 IPEV during weapon tests.

The KF-9E handles much more realistically than the original KF-9.

As stated before, this jet will fly 'properly' in FAR and should work well in Vanilla KSP. Now this is a road I am willing to take; making more realistic aircraft that perform realistically on FAR OR I can continue with my original non FAR aircraft. As always, it would be great to get some people to try the jets out and offer feedback on their performance; this would be more valuable to me if I were to go down the FAR path. All in all, it won't really matter to me if I stick with vanilla KSP or FAR; it is all up to what you guys prefer

I don't get it, because I installed all the mods included in the description but I still have missing parts.

The parts I am missing are: JAWRD.typeAwing, JAWRD.MMP.S.BodyB, JAWRD.MMP.S.NoseC and B9.Utility.Landing.Gear.HDG1T

Edited January 29, 2015 by DYo12234

[AirShark]

If I recall correctly, the B9 gear parts on the older models are outdated and their names have changed since the B9 0.90 update.

As for the JAWRD parts, there are two files you need to have:

The original JAWRD parts: http://www./download/ny1ka7jjz7c3dft/JAWRD_ModularMissilePack_V1.0.zip

My Modified JAWRD parts: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y2pk6mypqpuq1ks/Other%20Parts.rar?dl=0

[DYo12234]

How come I am still missing the same parts as before? I installed both the JAWRD parts and I'm still getting th parts missing. What am I doing wrong here?
