I've seen the KV-2's turret referred to as the Glory To Stalin Derp Turret. It seems quite fitting, doesn't it?

Working on a new flying wing recon plane, the Ke-221 Condor It's the first to use my newly devised Aircraft Designation System. That's right, I didn't just choose random numbers for the designation.
Max Altitude Achieved: 10,000 meters ASL
Max Speed Achieved: 700+ m/s
Holds two crew, and can fly for 1 hour and 18 minutes with empty wing tanks. The altitude and speed test was interrupted by a brief visit from the Kraken, so I'm confident that the aircraft can go higher and faster. It's not very maneuverable right now though.
Does anyone know how to rig up a yaw control system without using vertical control surfaces? I know how the clamshell airbrake concept has worked on some flying wings, but I can't figure out how to get it to work with control surfaces in KSP.

Looking very nice! But what happened to the PPTS dev?
It's dead, Jim.
-
Oh sorry, forgot I was on phone version! Here, this ought to work.
Dammit, phone version, you made me look like an idiot!

10/10 Packed with words of wisdom and thought-provoking revelations.

Luna 16 was the sample return mission that crashed on the moon during its landing phase, right? I think Luna 21 was the one that finally brought samples back.
Fun Fact for those who don't know: Luna 16 attempted it's lunar descent and landing while the Apollo 11 crew was landed on the moon, a few hours after their EVA ended.

Give us retextures of Salyut and Mir! Make them white and brown, like they looked in real life! An N1 retexture to black and white would be nice also.
-
Good, good. Now tell me, how many of you people have dared to read the Silmarillion? The number will certainly be considerably lower...
-
Best of luck to you Beale
We'll do our best not to crash Minmus into the Mün till you get back 
Whoa, speak for yourself! I plan to use the powers of Hyperedit to become a Dark Lord of the Kerbol system more powerful than Sauron himslef!
EDIT: I'm actually wondering... How many people know what I'm talking about? Space nerds and fantasy nerds are two completely different groups.
-
Hey, I've screwed around with 3D modelling enough that if you want, I think I could make you some models to use for this mod so you don't have to use stock or BD models. I can't texture yet because I don't have a good photo editing software, but the models can be done pretty easily. What do you say?
-
Hello!
Sorry for absence.
The little one is here, both him and his mother are well, thank you the concern
Sadly I cannot continue Tantares for some time, in the time between though Curtquarquesso has kindly agreed to maintain the mod (Many thanks!)
Signing out, but not forever!

Kind regards.
Congratulations, man. I wish you well in your upcoming adventures with your little mini breadchild.
Godspeed, Sir Loaf, godspeed.
You guys wanted a bigger, stronger LAS motor, right?
Waay ahead of you.
I did this a while back.
-
Wow, this thread has suddenly died down a lot. I guess Beale has left us for the time being. Sooner than I expected.
-
It looks nice! But the real question remains... Can it land?
-
I noticed a small inaccuracy. The P-36 was not, in fact, the Lightning, but rather the Hawk, the predecessor to the P-40 Warhawk. The Lightning was designated as P-38.
This is the P-36 Hawk.
-
Started work on a Mega-project, Jupiter July.http://i.imgur.com/iFjepjr.png Can anyone guess what probe it is? It's still a really basic version and yes, this will use mods.
It's Pioneer 10. It clearly says "Pioneer 10" in the title box at the top.

Here's the first LKO test flight of my new spacecraft, the BTK. It means Duration Transport Ship, but I used Google translate to put it into Russian and my limited knowledge of the Cyrillic alphabet to get BTK. Niemand, you're Russian, right? Care to help me out with this? Anyway, BTK was designed for long duration missions to the Mun, Minmus, and Duna. Here you go:
BTK-2 lifts off on board a Zenit. It feels so good to have AB launchers again! Just look at the power of Zenit's first stage! BTK-1 Experienced a strange failure of the second stage separation, so an immediate mission abort was called shortly after achieving orbit.
For a spacecraft such as BTK, Zenit is way too overpowered for a launch to LKO. But then again, most Tantares launchers are like that!
Escape tower is jettisoned! I might as well go ahead and point out that the SULAT has the bug where you can only see its staging icon in flight, not in the VAB/SPH.
Zenit's first stage is spent and separates from the rest of the stack. Maybe for later missions I'll make it reusable like Falcon 9's first stage. It doesn't seem too hard...
The first stage was so overpowered that the second stage (Am I correct in using Proton's third stage?) only has to do the orbital insertion burn at apoapsis. Even this nearly drains the stage though.
BTK's aerodynamic fairings blow off once in orbit to expose the Service Module. Yep, that is a 1.875 meter Cygnus engine. it was the only thing that looked good and still delivered the needed Delta V for long range missions.
BTK is free of the second stage and has deployed its SM hardware. This is the first time I really utilized the "Lego" part of Tantares to make something that isn't a replica. I like the result a lot.
Just a confirmation that the Apollo antenna is seeing use. here it is, as BTK's main communication method. In LKO is wouldn't be used that much because the lance works better, but for Mun and Minmus missions it will be imperative.
Obligatory artificial eclipse shot. Getting late here, so I'll complete the mission tomorrow.

Missile submarine
Not practical because it can't dive, can barely move, and is nearly impossible to put in the water without Hyperedit/KerbinSide.
-
Angry Duck Lord wants to be fed with tantares updates, NOW !
Thank you, good sir, for the terrifying nightmares I'm going to have tonight. You may or may not find an invoice in your mail requesting that you pay for any trauma counseling I may require.
-
No, you need to use RasterPropMonitor (see my sig below) to have a functional IVA. I think the only stock prop that you can interact with is the speed indicator (you can switch which speed mode it's in).
The throttle is also interactive. You can drag the throttle up and down while in IVA. That's how it was last time I checked anyway. Not sure about whether it still works like that.
-
....and a sketchfab model:
Try to ignore the open rear bay, the open missile tubes and the broken fairing nose.
Many thanks for the sketchfab model! Although I'm not sure how to embed it into the OP...
You have inspired me to make a TRUE Red October mod. Now, if I could figure out how.....Here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/entries/3232-Part-Modding-Tutorial-1-4-Modeling
-
Is it too late for me to throw in my usual complaint about the IVA being too bare? Because the IVA is too bare. Seriously, go nuts with the props, put all sorts of buttons on the walls, even if they don't don't do anything. Just put racks of buttons below the windows and more cargo bags on the floor or something. It's supposed to be an IVA for the flight worthy spacecraft, not the cheap mockups they have at space museums for children to get in with the painted on controls and stuff!
-
Why don't you reuse the hatch texture from the Soyuz OM for the docking port hatch? It looks so much better than the current texture
-
Typhoon class missile submarine, the inspiration for Red October:
Has missiles too!
Link to full album and DL is in my sig.
-
Wait! There isn't a hatch texture on the front of the PPTS IVA! How are they supposed to go through the docking port?
We'll do our best not to crash Minmus into the Mün till you get back

Yeah, that's right. I got lazy and didn't fact check. Thanks for clarifying.
