Works as intended and is a fine starting point for other addons.

Minor issues I noticed:
- stages don't separate cleanly, the second stage starts a bit inside the first one.
- when the probe separates, it keep firing it's engine. I guess that's because the orbit is nor circularized. Maybe my fault, since I applied some time acceleration.

Anyway, a welcome addition, Hope to see a more complete Titan family later on.

I will fix in next release the overlapping between first and second stage. The second issue is because you used time acceleration, and the velcro autopilot didn't finished its program (I will also fix this with IGNITENEXT 0, on second stage). In scenario I added the maximum payload to LEO 2250kg (so it is little margin of error ).

As I say in description all credits goes to sputnik for his excellent Velcro Rockets add-on. In his add-on are all necessary ingredients for Titan rocket family. I only make some config files and scenarios, but I had a lot of fun doing this.

A more polished add-on, also made by sputnik, is CVEL Titans ([ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1031"]http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1031[/ame]), but I wanted to make an add-on only with the launchers and its maximum payload capabilities to different orbits.

Thanks for feedback.

CVEL Titans is good, but for some add-ons Velcro works best. Depends on what you need to launch.

Hi Cris !
I realy like the way you give us some progressing materials, you've given me a lot of interrest about "Velcro". I think your add ons are underrated. Thanks for your work, i hope to follow the Titan's history through your add ons. And Happy New Year !

 

[crisbeta]

I release it progressively, as time allows. I will try to make 1 update at 1-2 weeks.

I'm not concerned about rating or top download. I'm doing this for fun and I released it just in case could be useful to someone else.

Happy New Year!

Keep them coming :thumbup:

If you want, you can distribute the repaint textures with your add-on.

 

[crisbeta]

Now I'm working on configs for the entire Titan 3B family (23B, 24B, 33B, 34B).

Project is still in the early stages, so I will not redistribute your repaint textures because it will increase the download size(I will continue to put a link to your add-on). When the project will be in final stages this will be a good idea :thumbup:

Thanks for feedback.
