Okay!
After some time working on my latest post here, I noticed that something didn't quite match up...
Turns out that I confused myself and instead of making the booster 3,7 meters in diameter, I actually made it double that, because the game measures size from center to corner.
After that I completely redone the thing and now it is actually in scale to the real thing (I'm almost sure this time).
Now featuring an actual grid fin, still not as useful as the real one, but I'm still working on it.
Same stuff as the last one for most things, I'll have them here anyway (I don't think anyone actually downloaded that not to scale monster of a rocket)
This time I finally added the second stage, making those beautiful diamonds if for some reason you use it in the atmosphere...
Controls:
- act 1 deploys the landing legs on the first stage booster.
- act 2 enables the grid fins fins do pitch and yaw, in order to fold them, you need to activate them and using slider 1 set it to 100%, the deactivate, and set it back to 0% so when you need to deploy them, you just activate act 2 again.
- act 3 toggles on and off the 8 outside engines in first stage, for landing with low fuel with the center engine.
- act 9 deploys the solar panels and turn on and off the RCS in the satellites
- act 10 toggles the RCS in the Falcon 9.
For what I tested, this thing is capable of taking at least 20t of payload to LDO ( Low Droo orbit) and with some management you can actually land the first stage.
It's a big description, but I really like to do this :D

@Pqjonaspq underexpanded means that if the plume looks like that it means that the gas it expels is in greater pressure than the pressure around it, which of course happens in vacuum and is caused by the nozzle. It needs to be overexpanded to be efficient i guess (i have never encountered this before srry).
