Supported Versions

  • 1.7.3
  • Updated B9PartSwitch to 2.8.1
  • Updated DynamicBatteryStorage to 2.0.2
    • Added support for GenericFieldDataHandler * Fixed FissionFlowRadiator adding heat to the simulation instead of removing it
    • Fixed two instances of null reference exceptions when switching vessels/scenes
  • Updated DeployableEngines to 1.1.0
    • Added new ModuleAdvancedLookAtConstraint module
      • Version of basic FXModuleLookConstraint with the addition of viewing vector stability
      • Tries (mostly successfully) to ensure a constrained object's up vector (green transform in unity) matches the up vector of the target object, which resolves problems with almost vertical/vertical gimbal pistons
      • Same syntax for configs as FXModuleLookConstraint (see GitHub wiki for more details)
  • Updated CryoTanks to 1.2.0
    • Fixed a localization typo
    • Tuned VAB UI part tooltip fields for boiloff module
    • Reworked textures of foil tanks to match Restock and Near Future Construction
    • Normalized grey to be similar to all my other mods
    • Recompressed all textures with better compression algorithm
    • Added optional simplistic draft Liquid Methane support
      • Slightly cryogenic (1/10th the boiloff rate of Liquid Hydrogen)
      • Similar mass ratio to Liquid Fuel (9)
      • Higher cost ratio compared to Liquid Fuel (0.12 vs 0.1)
      • Enabled by declaring any MM patch with :FOR[CryoTanksMethalox] or including a folder in GameData called CryoTanksMethalox
  • Soft-deprecated entire old set of CryoEngines parts; they are replaced but invisible so people have time to adapt
  • New 0.625m engine:
    • CR-10A 'Stromboli' Cryogenic Rocket Engine: Sustainer engine based on updated hypothetical DC-X RL-10-A5. 0.625m, Boattail and Compact variants
  • Revised 1.25m engines
    • CR-2 'Vesuvius' Cryogenic Rocket Engine: Sustainer engine based on Ariane Vulcain 2. 1.25m, Boattail and Compact variants. Similar to old Volcano.
    • CE-10 'Hecate' Cryogenic Rocket Engine: Vacuum engine with extensible nozzle based on RL-10-C2. 1.25m and Compact variants. Similar to old Chelyabinsk.
  • New 1.875m engines
    • CR-0120 'Erebus' Cryogenic Rocket Engine: Sustainer engine based on Energia RD-0120. 1.875m, Boattail and Compact variants.
    • CE-60 'Pavonis' Cryogenic Rocket Engine: Vacuum engine with extensible nozzle based on unflown RL-60. 1.875 and Compact variants.
  • Revised 2.5m engines
    • CR-9 'Fuji' Cryogenic Rocket Engine: Sustainer engine based on JAXA LE-9. 2.5m, Boattail and Compact variants. Similar to old Odin.
    • CE-2X 'Ulysses' Cryogenic Rocket Engine: Vacuum engine based on Constellation J2-X. 2.5m and Compact variants. Similar to old Tunguska.
  • Revised 3.75m engines
    • CR-68 'Etna' Cryogenic Rocket Engine: Sustainer engine based on Delta IV RS-68. 3.75m, Boattail and Compact variants. Similar to old Mars.
    • CE-602 'Tharsis' Cryogenic Engine Cluster: Vacuum engine cluster with extensible nozzles based on alternate Constellation upper stage option. 3.75m and Compact variants.
  • Restock style engine effect model and emissives propagated to all new parts
  • New plumes for all engines
  • RealPlume support for new plumes, courtesy of Zorg
  • Slightly tuned most revised engines in terms of mass, thrust and Isp compared to their predecessors
  • CryoEnginesLFO Extras package has been tuned to match the new content (typically 70s of Isp loss)
  • New Extras package: CryoEnginesRestock
    • Adapts the appropriate ReStock and ReStockPlus engines into cryogenic engines (Vector, Mammoth, Rhino, Skipper, Corgi, Skiff/Caravel) with significant balance changes
    • Changes the plume for the Rhino, Skiff/Caravel and Skipper to be appropriately cryogenic
