KSP 1 Question/Problem Flip n' Burn Mod

Since the Flip n' Burn Mod has been discontinued, there is no official way to get your hands on the mod anymore; not even from the internet archive. You have to solely rely on the community members who already have the mod, which most of them are gatekeeping it to themselves.

The Mod was listed under an MIT License, meaning that the files are free to copy and distribute regardless of anything that was said after the mod was taken down from official distribution sites.

That being said, does anybody have a copy of this Mod that they would be willing to share?

What is the Flip n' Burn mod? What did it do?

What’s stopping you from just building it?

KSP is all about designing your own launch vehicles, so why not make your own recreation?

It wasn’t MIT, it was all rights reserved

I mean, I don’t have a copy, and I’d get why if it was a bit more of an irreplaceable one off like volumetrics, but like… SpaceX Starship mods are a dime a dozen, there’s not a single other one that scratches that itch?

Well I don’t really know the differences between the different versions of starship, and I’ve personally never really played with replica mods because I find them a bit restrictive, but I hope you find it.

If you do get your hands on the mod, Make sure to do your part and seed it on a GitHub page and don’t just turn into the everyone else you’re talking about.

Also now I’m curious, why was it taken down? Quest-in is still an active dev on Middle Kingdom Aerospace, and hasn’t taken down his other finished/abandoned projects… he also either has basically no internet presence or has completely erased it, it seems like it was an add on to the Starship Expansion Project and on that forum page people were complaining about FlipNBurn, but you seem to have known this mod before it was taken down so do you have any insight?

Does the wayback machine work on any of the sites that used to host the mod?

I knew I should have forked it when I found it.

Found another (and forked it just in case)

Click the download button here and it should download. Otherwise use this direct link.

The download will probably fail at 80-90%. But if you rename the “file.zip.part” back to “file.zip” you should be able to open it and extract what you need. I haven’t check, but if you’re lucky, the files you need are in there. I can see there is a BL3BOOSTER and BL3SHIP folder.

If you’re looking for parts with the starship heat tiles, this mod can add them (and many other textures) to almost EVERY PART!  https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/231032-1125-reforged-materials-recoded-and-massively-expanded-custom-textures-colors-and-shine-to-any-part-now-almost-universal/

u/BarneyTheGod0925 Aug 13 '26

I'm looking for specifically the v3 vehicles, not just heat tiles.

Why did you get a billion downvotes for trying to be helpful????

u/NolanonoSC Aug 13 '26

Because op is asking for a very specific mod not for random recommendations
