Auto Credit Based on Cleptrophese's Delta IV Heavy (Visual Update)

Well, "overhaul" is a strong word. It changes the look of the rocket quite a bit, but in reality it was VERY simple to make the adjustments. Also, I still need to update the look of the upper stage, it's still under detailed. Also...the previous update added a LOT more pieces. This is just a few paint strips. Oh, and I did remove the textures to make it look more like the real Delta IV Heavy. Sorry the untestured version isn't the one featured in the pictures, by the way. There are still a couple visual changes I need to make, most notably on the upper stage, and I may move the upper stage engine up into the fuel tank, as well, to cut down on the height a little (it's a bit tall for a Delta IV). Also, this rocket is DESIGNED to be used for various cargo. If you have your own satellite you'd rather launch, simply grab the decoupler in the fairing and save the rocket as a subassembly (sorry, the command chip on my satellite is set to primary). Then you should be able to easily adapt the rocket to your own payloads, it's obviously made for heavier payloads than what it's currently carrying. I think I could easily make a Cylero mission with this (though no return). The staging does seem a bit temperamental, so maybe check it prior to launching, especially if you change the payload out. Anyway, I've talked for long enough. Have fun with the rocket!
