FuelWings Refueled CKAN

FuelWings Refueled: A successor to FuelWings

FuelWings originally made by @diygary (AKA Tortoise), later adopted by @linuxgurugamer, and finally remastered by me, @munktron239

• FuelWings is an awesome mod. I love being able to store fuel inside of wings, just like many aircraft do in real life.
• Unfortunately, the mod was made a very long time ago. Like '10+ years' long ago. KSP has changed a lot since 2014.
• Currently, FuelWings depends on Firespitter.dll for the switching module, which itself is quite outdated (5+ years old).
• Since nobody really uses Firespitter anymore, I wanted to completely overhaul this mod using the much more reliable B9PartSwitch.

Why use Refueled over the original FuelWings?

• User-friendly: No more clicking 'Next Tank' to guess what fuels are available. Fuel types are easily visible and have description support.
• Game balance: Parts stats are identical to stock. Existing craft with wings will default to 'Structural', and mass/cost will remain unchanged.
• Logical: Doesn't add fuel to any nosecones; their purpose is for aerodynamics and not for fuel storage. Tail connectors do get fuel, though!
• Consistency: In FuelWings, some volume levels were slightly off or too high. In Refueled, all fuel values are consistent across similar parts.
• Moar fuel types: Fuel types such as LH2 and Hydrolox are possible using CommunityResourcePack. CryoTanks boiloff is also supported.
• Easy expansion: Add fuel to your own wing parts with one easy MM patch! See AssignTagsToWings.cfg for more instructions.

Drawbacks

• For wings that already have fuel (Big-S Delta Wing, FAT-455 Aeroplane Main Wing, etc), B9 changes the dry mass/cost by a small amount.
• If you decide to use fuel in these wings, performance will be (ever-so-slightly) worse than in stock.
• Because of this, this patch affecting these wings is disabled by default. If PatchManager is installed, then you can enable it in-game.
• Currently no support for B9ProceduralWings. This may change in future versions, though.

Dependencies and Supported Mods

• ModuleManager
• B9PartSwitch
• (Optional) PatchManager
• (Optional) CommunityResourcePack
• (Optional) CryoTanks
• If PatchManager is installed, fuel switches for the Big-S/FAT-455 wings can be enabled in-game.
• If CRP is installed, LiquidHydrogen and Hydrolox fuel switches will be available.
• If CryoTanks is installed, cryogenic fuel types will require EC cooling.
