looking for a better heat shield model

[endl]

i need a 5m heat shield ive rescaled the 3.75 one that comes with DR but it clips outside of my 5m fairing housing. any suggestions?

[Mecripp]

How did you rescale it can you post the cfg ?

EDIT- Here some for you to look at added a heatshield at the bottom the rest all stock

You might play with the numbers alittle.

EDIT- Thats a CFG, I run for some smaller parts.

with tweak scale......

I can make a model for one, but you will need to make it become part of a mod, as I have forgotten C and am too lazy to learn C# again.

[Mecripp]

Ran a small test and change the cfg alittle

EDIT- And Klockheed_Martian_Special has better looking parts but need DR added to them.

EDIT- If you want to try the cfg, I posted https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72893034/Small_Stock_Parts.cfg.zip

do i drop this file into the DR dir?

[Mecripp]

do i drop this file into the DR dir?

Just put it in KSP/GameData somewhere don't matter.

[Buzzou]

you can use procedural parts to make a heatshield of any size, alternatively the NASA ADEPT heatshield comes in 2.5m and 5m sizes that deploy to be even bigger.

[endl]

im just looking for something that is more flush with the edge of procedural fairings parts

[Buzzou]

yeah, you can change the diameter of the procedural parts heatshield to any diameter you want, it will be flush with procedural fairings.
