Early game engines #4

Open Sirata89 opened 3 years ago

Possible Aerobee, or alternative russian early tech engine. BDB, if it can be patched to work, would fill alot of these gaps. Currently only options are two stock engines and the CNAR engine

The more the better. But I had already looked at Taerobee and the author says it has been surpassed by CNAR and Airplane Plus: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/119858-14x-taerobee-stockalike-x-1-and-more-27012017/&do=findComment&comment=3792489 Did you install Tantares? Doesn't that include some early engines? Maybe we just need to move some stuff around in the Tech Tree. So I am not against Taerobee and I will give it a try when I start up the game again to have a closer look, but to me it looks similar to CNAR and Airplane Plus, so it should then be a choice between those and Taerobee.

Have you looked at Roverdude's Sounding Rockets? (I haven't yet) https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/92434-18x-sounding-rockets-start-small-dream-big/

I have not looked at Roverdude's, and maybe thats the issue with CNAR, the only option I saw initially was the early v-2 shaped rocket engine. It may be a tech tree issue as you said, I haven't look at the full parts list that comes with CNAR. Also running Tantares/New Tantares. Need to investigate part distribution in the tech tree, as you said might just be duplicating other mods that already fill that gap

CNAR doesn't have anything more and Tantares starts in the 1960's according to this: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/73686-110x-tantares-stockalike-soyuz-and-mir-3023102020fobos-2/&do=findComment&comment=3678337, so yes, we need something else.

I had a quick look around and these might contain some older engines maybe:

Raidernicks mods (https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/79433-18x-19x-soviet-probes-soviet-rockets-r7n1soyuzprotonzenitdneprkosmostsiklon-4-22-20/ & https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/84250-18x-19x-us-probes-pack-old-and-new-4-16-20/) seem to be incompatible with RP-1, I don't know if that means they are also incompatible with LRTR.

And maybe we can find something here: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/155960-community-mods-and-plugins-library/

And I had another look at Taerobee and I stand corrected, it would indeed be a good addition. Thanks for the suggestion.
