Request Modern Atlas Rocket Family (Atlas I, Atlas II/A/AS, AtlasIII/A/B, and Atlas V

[Washingtonian]

Well. I haven't seen any post yet, but I think it could be possible.

I wonder if anyone can create the Modern Atlas rockets. Atlas I through Atlas V. And make the launch pad for them, LC-36A and LC-36B, also not to mention SLC-3 for Vandenberg launches.

The Atlas I had an LR-89 booster engine with dual thrust chambers and a powerful RS-27 sustainer engine. Most of the payloads launched were GOES satellites, from GOES-8 to GOES-10. Other payloads would include CRRES (Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite), a Galaxy 5 satellite for HBO, and ASI's BeppoSax.

The Atlas II had three variants. The normal Atlas II did not have any strap-on boosters attached (at least according to some of the launch photos, particularly SOHO). Notable payloads include SOHO (which observed the Sun), and the Terra satellite which took satellite images of the Earth.

The Atlas III was taller than the Atlas II and had 3 variants, Atlas III, Atlas IIIA, and Atlas IIIB. It launched some NROL satellites.

Finally, the Atlas V and its many variants.

I hope that someone can take the request, but the Atlas II and III addons on Orbithanger are only compatible with 2006 P1.

Well, I don't know about Atlas I-IV but you can get pretty much all Atlas V variants. Brianj made [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3711"]MRO[/ame] and [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3687"]LRO[/ame] which include Atlas 401 and LC-41. Jim Clem made the whole Atlas V family, but the meshes are not as good as brianj's. Felipi1205 made [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5277"]JUNO[/ame] which includes Atlas 551. If you combine meshes from brianj's and felipi1205 add-ons into Jim Clem's "infrastructure" you get the whole family with great textures, meshes and launchpad. You will still be missing Centaur upper stage with two engines. You can get that from CST-100 project thread, but the meshes don't quite fit.

I use similar combination in my install and I'm pretty happy with how it looks.

There's no Atlas IV. It just skipped from III to V.

Anyway, the Jim Clem add-on is outdated, and I don't really know how to convert it to spacecraft 3 and multistage2.

There was an Atlas II and III add-on by Alex I believe, but they are basic mesh.

No need for conversion, all you have to do is open scenario you want to use and replace multistage with multistage2 everywhere you see it. Orb made a patch to do it for you, take a look:
