Here are three packs from Skyride Space, containing the Falcon 9, the Starlink satellites, and the Dragon capsule:

Though they come in three separated packs, they are meant to be used together.

How to assemble them?

For the Falcon 9 and the Starlinks, here is a detailed view showing how they are meant to be assembled:

For more details, please check the video from Skyride Space himself:

For the Dragon capsule, this is how it works:

It's designed to naturally fit directly on top of the fuel tank of the Falcon 9's second stage.
For more details, please check the video here:

If you prefer to start with the pre-built rockets, here are the blueprints:
Falcon 9 + Starlink
Falcon 9 + Crew Dragon

If you click on the blueprints links, your browser will open a new tab where you can get the mobile version of SFS. Obviously, this is not what you want. All you have to do is:
  • Copy the link in the address bar (CTRL + C):
00-CopyLink.jpg

  • Open Spaceflight Simulator, then from the blueprint edition menu, click on Share:
01-Share.jpg

  • Then click on Download Blueprint:
02-Download.jpg

  • Then paste the link you've copied (CTRL + V) and click Download:
03-PasteLink.jpg

How to install the packs?

Download the zip files, and extract the package: It contains the three packs.

Open the mods folder (from the mod loader menu ingame, click "Open Mods Folder"), then copy all the three packs in "Spaceflight Simulator Game\Mods\Custom Assets\Parts".

Restart the game, then the packs will be available:

Know incompatibilities

The following pack is known to be incompatible with these packs:
LX SpaceX Falcon 9 Pack
If you have it installed, please uninstall it by moving the corresponding file out of the Custom assets folder to be able to use Skyride Space's packs. Just disabling it isn't enough. Thanks KrazyThief20543 for reporting this.


Who is Skyride Space, and why am I posting his content?

Skyride Space is originally a SFS creator and a Space X fan, that used to share his creations through Patreon. Which means that you originally had to pay for them.
The reason why I am posting his content is because his community hasn't been able to join him for months. One of his friends (who was given the project files) would like to do a favor to the community and share his work. As he has no account here, I accepted to do it for him.

All credit goes to Skyride Space for this content!

Not something I ever expected to see here, thank you, Skyride, and whoever shared the files!

@Orion I wonder where skyride is now
I think he more or less quit SFS? I'm not sure, and I don't want to start rumours, but that's what I heard.

When the game starts, the message "Failed to load asset pack Falcon 9" appears
Can you please provide a screenshot of your Custom Assets/Parts directory?

Edit: also I think it's a bit scummy to sell sfs mods and blueprints, and a patreon tier shouldn't cost £1020 per year

Bro you can’t do that it costs money for a reason
He literally made it on his patreon you can’t just leak it like that
I've explained the reason why I posted them. Thanks Axiom by the way.
I'll explain myself in private since you spammed me in my profile post and on my DMs to avoid more drama here.

This is Illegal, this mod is for Skyride Space's patreons only
Ok, I'll debunk a few misconceptions here.

Legally speaking, modding is an activity that's referred as a grey area: it is usually tolerated, but strictly speaking it's illegal since it relies on a framework (the game) over which the modders don't own the copyright. For this reason, making and sharing mods is usually tolerated, but selling them is not. This falls under commercial use, which Skyride Space doesn't have the right to do since he has no commercial rights over SFS.

And sincerely, look at the costs:

Each pack costs half the game price...
Some modders leave the possibility to make a donation, but this is on a voluntary basis, and we don't talk about such amounts.

While we are at it, here is an extract of his legals:

Morally speaking, I don't think it's ok to use another modder's free work to make your own stuff and monetize it.

Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for Skyride Space as a modder. Otherwise I wouldn't have taken the time to make a well polished presentation. But the way he sells his packs is something that I personally disapprove. And I say that as somebody that made many mods without asking ever a penny.

Do you play on Mac? If yes that may be the reason. Unfortunately there's no solution in this case.
