Many people have contributed to Realism Overhaul, if you contributed and I missed you on this list, PM me and I'll add you.
=====================
Realism Overhaul is a mod that makes Kerbal Space Program behave more like real life. If you're interested in seeing what it's like to fly rockets in the real world, this is the mod for you! Realism Overhaul does this by modifying other mods and stock parts to perform as their real-life equivalents. You can expect things to be a little harder, and rockets to be a bit bigger, but the scenes far more epic, and the accomplishment that much greater.
Overview of the changes you can expect to see:
[LIST]
[*]Engine performance - Engines use real fuels, real sizes and real performance values. Check out the Wiki for guides on how to use engines!
[*]Modified ElectricCharge system - 1EC/s = 1kW.
[*]Solar Panels don't produce magical amounts of electricity, but they are much lighter.
[*]RTGs don't produce magical amounts of electricity, but many systems don't need as much electricity.
[*]Reaction wheels aren't magically powerful anymore, just like real life. (They still don't require momentum dumping though)

If you're having RAM issues (game crashes unexpectedly, etc) there's a few things you can do:
Use Procedural Parts for fuel tanks, and remove fuel tanks from your part packs.
Use Procedural Fairings for fairings, and remove fairings from your part packs.
Use B9 Procedural Wings for wings, and remove wings from your part packs.
[INDENT][I]You can use the [URL="http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/101309"]AutoPruner Script[/URL] remove these items.[/I][/INDENT]
Install [URL="http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/59005-0-25-Release-3-8-Oct-16-2014-Active-Texture-Management-Save-RAM!"]Active Texture Management[/URL] to compress your textures.
Follow these steps to set launch options for Kerbal Space Program to reduce RAM footprint and allow alt-tabbing while loading:
[LIST=1]
[*]Edit settings.cfg in the root KSP install folder, change FULLSCREEN = True to FULLSCREEN = False
[*]Create a desktop shortcut for KSP.exe
[*]Right click on it, and open up the properties of that shortcut
[*]Add -force-opengl -popupwindow following the path to your KSP.exe.
[*]Launch the game, if you get graphical glitches (My text is glitchy with -force-opengl) try:
[*]Replace with -force-d3d11 -popupwindow in the path to your KSP.exe.
[INDENT]In the end, your Properties window should look like one of these:

[/LIST]
[SIZE=3][I][U][B][COLOR="#0000CD"]Installation[/COLOR][/B][/U][/I][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][I][B]Option A:[/B][/I][/SIZE]
[COLOR="#0000CD"][B]Pre-Packaged installation via CKAN![/B][/COLOR]
CKAN is an excellent tool for installing mods in an orderly fashion. We have prepared a set of installation packages for the mods in Realism Overhaul, follows are instructions for how to install via CKAN (Or check out the [URL="https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/wiki/User-guide"]CKAN User's Guide[/URL]):
[LIST=1]
[*]Start out by creating a clean installation of KSP. (If you don't, beware the dragons!)
[*]Next, visit the forum thread [URL="http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/100067-The-Comprehensive-Kerbal-Archive-Network-%28CKAN%29-Package-Manager"]here[/URL] and download the latest release [URL="https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/releases"]here[/URL]. Note that at the time this guide was compiled, the version with enabled GUI is only available in pre-release format.
[*]Place ckan.exe in your KSP installation directory.
[/LIST]
[COLOR="#0000CD"][B]Installing via the GUI:[/B][/COLOR]
Currently, we primarily support installation via the CKAN GUI. Other methods may be out of date.
Steps:
[LIST=1]
[*]Launch the CKAN GUI by double-clicking the ckan.exe in your KSP directory
[*]Use the Filter to find Realism Overhaul
[*]Select Realism Overhaul to install
[*]Click Go To Changes
[*]Proceed through the menus to select your installation.
[*]Watch CKAN install Realism Overhaul and all the other mods for you
[*]Launch KSP. Enjoy!
[/LIST]
[COLOR="#0000CD"][B]Installing via Command Line:[/B][/COLOR]
The GUI has overtaken the command line, and is now more fully featured. But if you're more comfortable with command line interfaces, check out the[URL="https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/wiki/User-guide"] CKAN user's guide[/URL] for more information on the CLI.
[SIZE=2][I][B]Option B:[/B][/I][/SIZE]
If you don't like automation, there's always the old 'by hand' way:
1. Start with a FRESH unadulterated install of KSP.
2. Install the required mods. Ensure you have the most up to date version and have followed their respective installation instructions. Links are provided below as well as some special installation notes/instructions for those mods.
3. Unzip the Realism Overhaul download zip archive to your KSP/GameData folder.
4. Launch KSP. Enjoy!
========================================
Modlist removed, redundancy not required. See above for forum links.

Realistic Progression Zero incorporates career mode into Realism Overhaul. Note that at this time not all modpacks are supported, see the RP-0 post for more details.

Texture Replacer allows you to replace many of the textures in the game (it's in the recommended list for its texture unloading abilities.) For visual effects, we recommend using one of the skyboxes linked in the Texture Replacer OP, especially one of the real life skyboxes.
[SIZE=2][COLOR="#0000CD"]NOTE: at this time, the following are still WIP, so there may be bugs.[/COLOR][/SIZE]
Real Plume
RealPlume was started by Ferram4 for the Crotchety Old Modders mars mission, further work was put in by Dragon01, Felger, and NathanKell, and has been absorbed into Realism Overhaul. If you're installing via CKAN, it's an optional installation, and requires SmokeScreen. If you're installing manually, it's included in the Realism Overhaul folder, you just need to install SmokeScreen. RealPlume adds plume expansion to your rockets, and makes them look a lot more like real life.
