LiteFuels KSP mod

(working name)

Set of MM patches to change Fuel mixture that the stock KSP engines and RCS use. The fuel engine overview is laid out below. Please remember that this mod is not finished.

Installation:

Drop the LiteFuels folder into your GameData folder. The repository contains more folders, but thoose are not part of LiteFuels mod.

Engine Overview

[2] Mammoth - (huge 295-315, 4xvector) hydro(..)? kero(315) [2] Rhino - (huge 205-340) kero(335), but real J-2 burn hydrolox

[3] Mainsail - (large 285-310) kero [3] Skipper - (large 280-320) kero (+?) [3] Poodle - (large 90-350) hydro(451),meth(362) [3] Twin-Boar - (large 280-300) kero

[3] Dart - (aerospike 290-340) meth(300-340)

[ ] Vector - (med 295-315) hydro(250-400),meth(295-335) [3] Thud - (med 275-305) storable [3] Terrier - (med 85-345) hydro(410),meth(344) [3] Reliant - (med 265-310) (meth,)kero [3] Swivel - (med 250-320) kero [3] Puff - (med 120-250) storable(300) (+mono?)

[3] Twitch - (small 275-290) storable [3] Spark - (small 265-320) hydro(395),meth(320) [3] Verner - (tiny, 140-260) - storable(270-290)

[3] Ant - (tiny 80-315) - storable [3] Spider - (tiny 260-290) - storable [3] RCS-1 - (tiny, 240) - mono, storable(300) [3] RCS-4 - (tiny, 240) - mono, storable(300) [3] vernier - (tiny, ) - mono, storable(290)

[2] All Jet Engines (x, 3000) patch them to Kerosene [ ] Methane Jet Engine ? [2] RAPIER (med, 275-305) - methalox(295-330)

[2] Integated RCS on Mk2 Capsule. (incl, tank and cryo)

  1. written
  2. works
  3. tweaked isp
  4. tweaked trust
  5. working effects f. part already has ModuleEnginesFX j. part uses ModuleEngines, but only one mode

Survery of real engines (very approx): HydNitro: 270 310 Kerolox: 300 336 Methalox: 307 371 Hydrolox: 333 450

Notes

  • The jets seem to use more air than previous. VERIFY
  • poodle effect wrong TODO
  • twinboar is missing a cryostat
  • Electric Pump fed engine
  • low ISP when throttled
  • disable tweakscale engines but also enable some
  • missing cryostats for fuel tank patches
  • isp of RCS is out of whack

Might need to replace the Hydrazine/DNTO mixture with more storeable variant (aerozine50/IRFNA), because the DNTO boils at 21 C.

-> Jet: (not sure) Wheesley: Whiplash: RAPIER: Juno: Panther: Goliath: ->Rocket: Ant: MonoGolOx. Spider: MonoGolOx. Twitch: MonoGolOx, Methalox. Spark: MonoGolOx, Methalox. Thud: MonoGolOx, Methalox. Dart: Hydrolox, Kerolox, Methalox. Terrier: Hydrolox, MonoGolOx, Methalox. Swivel: Kerolox. Reliant: Kerolox. Vector: Hydrolox, Kerolox, Methalox. Poodle: Hydrolox, Methalox. Mammoth: Hydrolox, Kerolox. Skipper: Kerolox, Hydrolox. Mainsail: Hydrolox, Kerolox. Rhino: Hydrolox, Kerolox. Twin-Boar: Kerolox, MonoGolOx (for storability). RAPIER: Hydrolox, Kerolox. Puff: KSPIE Hydrazine, HTP, Hydrogen Peroxide, GolOx, whatever else that’s a catalytic monopropellant (is ran through a heated catalyst). -> DLC: Skiff: Hydrolox. Cheetah: MonoGolOx. Wolfhound: MonoGolOx. Bobcat: MonoGolOx. Mastodon: Kerolox. Cub: Kerolox, MonoGolOx. Kodiak: Kerolox, MonoGolOx. -> Ion: Dawn: Atmospheric, gases. -> RCS: Vernor: MonoGolOx, Hydrolox, Methalox, Kerolox. Linear: All catalytic monopropellants. RV-105: All catalytic monopropellants. MEM: MonoGolOx, all catalytic monopropellants. The MEM would need only one tank module. If MonoGolOx is the fuel used by the engine and RCS.
