Building Blocks and DGIV

[johnny]

Are there any addons that define Space Station Building Blocks as a set of DGIV payloads?

I think they are way to big to fit into a DG-IV Cargo Bay. But you can make it with Universal Cargo Deck [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3262"]Universal Cargo Deck, release 4[/ame].

To transport those modules even Space Shuttle is too small.
You need Greg Burch's Big Space Plane BSP4

Good luck getting them to orbit with anything smaller than the Big Space Plane or the XR5. Don't think it's possible.

In my experience, some of the modules will also fit in a DG-EX, but not all. I think that's the smallest payload bay that will fit most of the building blocks.

You can download the XR5 here: http://www.dougsorbiterpage.com/
You might also need this (allows you to put the building blocks in the XR5's bay): [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3426"]XR5 Payload - Station Building Blocks 4.1[/ame]
This is useful for putting them together: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3373"]Universal Remote Manipulator System, release 3[/ame]

If you choose to go with the Big Space Plane, you can get it here:
[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3124"]Big SpacePlane 4.0[/ame]
And this will also be useful: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3152"]Big space plane 4.0 scenario generator 1.1[/ame]

Happy station building!

I tried the XR5 on my machine but it was rather slow. It was fine in orbit but not on the ground. I had to re-install Orbiter and all my addons, so I'm not anxious to try another big ship. Is the Big Space Plane as big as the XR5?
