This pack includes the first major RL10A variants including the A-1 (shown above), the A-3 and RL10A-3-1 as well as the RL10A-4-1 and A-4-2. The new RL10A-5 sea level engine has also been added. RL10B and C variants as well as the CECE are all to be made (and researched). This is, RL10-RO so all of these engines are realistic. Every one these engines have actual specifications and are realistically scaled to their real life counterpart. All engine dimensions are exact (hopefully). Pack includes its own hydrolox tank for the engines. BP edit to change values.

These are all of the RL10's I plan on making, so stay tuned!
Changelog
1.1
Updated engine specs. Visual overhaul.
Added the RL10A-5.
Added icon to mod display in the modloader mod list.

1.2
Engine nozzle diameters and lengths have been completely redone to be more realistic.
Adds the RL10A-3-3, RL10A-3-3A, RL10A-3-3B, RL10A-3C, RL10A-3S, RL10A-4, RL10A-4-2N AND RL10A-4 Methane.
New methalox tank for the RL10A-4 Methane engine.
RL10A-5 visual overhaul.
Engines have been ordered in the pick category from least to greatest model number in order to make finding an engine easier.
1.3
Engine plumes have been modified.
Adds the RL10C-1 and RL10C-1-1.
Part categories for the RL10A, RL10B and RL10C.
New mod image in the modloader.

=============================================================================================
>>>>>> D O W N L O A D H E R E <<<<<<
DISCLAIMER: THE ENGINE BELLS CLIP TOGETHER WHEN PLACED NEXT TO ONE ANOTHER. BP EDIT THE ENGINES' POSITIONS SUCH THAT THEY DON'T CLIP.
The heat boxes are actually never going to contact the other engine, so do this cosmetically.

Any issues (which there definitely are) may be reported below. Questions and comments as well. Enjoy, and make sure to credit!

Looks very interesting. It looks carefully balanced, even if their TWR is very high in regards of SFS standards. Thrust is ok, it's mostly because of their low mass. Right now that's probably a beast in terms of ΔV :p

This looks amazing, so sad mods can't be used on mobile version

I spent 6 hours of my Chrismas break looking through 1960's NASA documents for all of these stats.

Thank you. I feel honored that you said this is amazing, especially from a long time member.

The effort is appreciable. I wasn't saying it's inaccurate though, I mostly spoke in terms of SFS balance.

Thank you. I feel honored that you said this is amazing, especially from a long time member.
I'm also a long time member, so that makes two of us :)

Amazing. Words cannot describe how much I love this. And the fact that you put so much effort into this, even when you didn't think anything was working, is honestly more impressive than the mod. Good job.

What's the dry/wet mass ratio of the hydrolox tank?
