General Question Future Kistler K-1 Addon

[ZacharyS41]

Will there be an addon simulating the Kistler K-1 reusable launch vehicle?

Or has there been one that was taken down?

Was never done AFAIR, I had been interested in doing it after reading the K-1 User Manual, but never had the meshes for it.

The problem is that I can't even fake a K-1 rocket with the Velcro configs and meshes I have, such as pretending that the H-IIB's first and second stages are the K-1 rocket.

If I do so, it'll look nothing like K-1.

The line abreast three engine config is pretty unusual, but Kistler was pretty open about their rocket compared to SpaceX today, you can maybe still get a lot of data and detail drawings to produce one.

Not sure if multistage can do it right.

According to http://kodiakspace.blogspot.com/2007/01/kistler-k-1.html,

This Orbiter member, kodiak, was in the process of making a K-1 addon, and I checked his addon log, but apparently, he stopped development.
