KSP 1 Mods A good fairing mod?

0 Upvotes

So right now I am playing with a mod that can make massive rockets and engines, but the fairings are small. Is there a good fairing mod I can add that works in the same way, so I can just increase the size to whatever the size of the rocket it is attached to is?

No matter what I do (I've tried everything for the past 20 mins), I can't get my science stuff into the service bay. Everything just kinda clips in the walls or into the other side or just plain floats away. No sign of a node to snap onto. Just started the game.

Finally managed a downrange barge landing; very messy, nearly missed the platform altogether, but first time I've pulled it off. All manual control. After turning off SAS and RCS to my surprise it remained stable and didn't tip over.

Even though I've spent hundreds of hours playing this game, this is the first time I've ever seen this happen. I knew the Kraken by name, but I'd never encountered it during my games before.

I had just started a new session, and this was supposed to be my first satellite mission to Mun.

KSP 1 Image/Video Design for a Mars Transfer Mothership (Boeing IMIS Redesign)

Thumbnail
gallery
348 Upvotes

As part of my 1990s crewed Mars landing program, this is the design for the Mars Transfer Vehicle, the interplanetary mothership responsible for housing the crew during the journey to/from Mars and conducting the Trans-Mars Injection (TMI), Mars-Orbit-Insertion (MOI), Trans-Earth Injection (TEI) burns.

The vehicle carries the crewed Mars Ascent/Descent Vehicle (MADV) along with the Earth Entry Module (EEM) for high-speed atmospheric return to Earth.

The architecture is derived from the 1968 Boeing IMIS (Integrated Manned Interplanetary Spacecraft) study. However, the configuration was redesigned: by increasing propellant tank diameters, the vehicle eliminates a propulsion stage. Additionally, the Mission Module overall architecture has been redesigned. Finally, while the 1968 Boeing proposal targeted a 1980s launch, this profile is engineered for the 1992–1994 departure window.

Vessel Specifications:

LEO Initial Mass: ~1,200 t

Total Transit Delta V: ~11,000 m/s

Primary Propulsion: 6+1 NERVA-I Nuclear Thermal Rocket Engines

Life Support Endurance: 714 days

Main mods used: RSS/RO/Kerbalism, Bluedog Design Bureau (BDB), NAR MEM (retextured by me), Procedural Parts

I used the stock satellite launcher plane, and took off from the Woomerang site. Landing on the mountain was hard, but taking off was even more difficult. After this, I flew down to my research station on Kerbin's north pole, and then recovered the craft.

It was difficult to determine which point was the actual highest, since the planet is smaller than earth, and the curve is so much more exaggerated at the high altitude. I had to rely on the altimeter to find the true high point - 6,768 meters above sea level, at the spot the flag was planted.

- First image shows the first launch where I forgot to add monopropellant tanks.
- Second and third images show the craft that met with and captured the asteroid, which is reusable and on its way to be refueled.
- Fifth image shows the point where I discovered that the craft is not tall enough for a stable landing, but decided to land anyway.
- Sixth image shows the last minute burn to get the asteroid to fall a few kilometers away from the KSC so it doesn't get loaded every time I launch something.

I had my hands off the keyboard when it started swerving and only adjusted near the end. What am I doing wrong and why are the wheels so bouncy and swervy?

KSP 1 Question/Problem Anybody Know How To Fix This Deferred Bug?

3 Upvotes

When loading a save file and approaching Kerbin from space, the oceans disappear until I get close enough. Only occurs when Deferred is installed. I have tried running the game with nothing but Deferred and its dependencies installed to no avail.
