i just got this mod, but i cannot find any pods small enough to fit on the sounding rockets. is this a bug?

The mod includes a surface mounted avionics package that goes on the rack for the smallest size to act as its control probe and a 0.625m inline probe ("M-315 Probe Core") for larger sounding rockets.

Hi @RoverDude!

Just wanted to ask nicely for a permission to post here some personal edits I did to learn MM patching and tweak Sounding Rockets to my liking. That includes:

  • PartVariant compatibility with new "serious" :P stockalike theme (had to edit your texture for that)

  • Stock science rework + Kerbalism compatibility. I rewrote every experiment to give them different use cases and encourage making of different sounding rockets and tweaking them for each launch (to reach higher, to stay in air longer, to land safely with samples after high hop), also multiple launch programs as some experiments take quite some time to yield full science

  • RocketSoundEnhancement compatibility with custom engine sounds

The engine I sourced these from is hydrolox, but don't say these sounds don't work amazingly well for SR SRBs, giving them that extra oomph

There are multiple startup and flameout sound variants, plus different samples for low and high thrust (first and second stages in the video)

  • BetterSRB compatibility with their grain profiles and thrust curves

Go for it!

Heellll yeah!

I need some time to test these patches further (mainly science balance, also BetterSRB has been throwing some B9 errors I couldn't figure out yet :P), and then will post the link here

Were you successful in doing this? Would love to try it myself.
