read the message before. activate the "Advanced Twekables" in the Settings. Now you can set the "Rigid attachment" to "on" and the "Autostrut" to "Haviest Part" or "Root Part" to strengthen the durability of each part (in the Contextmenu of each part).

No, sorry.

I am Excited for better physical effects, a higher degree of automation and multiprocessing to experience "modern" space travel first hand.

Which of the 6 variants of PPTS capsules and orbital modules do you use? Federation-3 Federation-4 Federation-6 Federation-C PTK-NP K4 PTKL K 4 How did you build the overall spacecraft? A screenshot with KVV would be helpful. Furthermore, the question arises which mods you use. For example, mods like FAR can have a negative influence on the behaviour. Btw. If you use the Contares Parts, the question is better placed in CSA Contares RUS

Hello, community of people interested in space flight, There is a tentative preview of a new sub-project. For inspiration, here is a picture of the first development steps. KSP-Kompatible vehicle based on "Ariane Group SUSIE"

Basically, all other mods with which there are dependencies are up and running. A few small adjustments regarding 1.12.3 have already been released on GitHub. More will follow in the course of the next few days. Larger adjustments regarding Waterfall are on hold due to lack of time.

Sent you a private message

I have a little problem. While all planets (Mars, Earth, Moon, Mercury) are displayed correctly, Venus appears only as a black sphere with an atmospheric glow. Is there a way to fix this easily?

The part you are looking for has been retired for years and can, with luck, still be found in version "1.8.9 last big chunk", before the fragmentation of the mod. https://spacedock.info/mod/180/CONTARES

Yes, there is the intention to replace RealPlume completely with Waterfall effects, but I don't have time to do that intensively for at least 3 months. I hope to deliver at least a minimal update for version 1.12.2 in the next 2 weeks.

@linuxgurugamer Yes!

Hello @linuxgurugamer, right, I forgot to mention that the described error with the latest version of the Firespitter occurs only in KSP 1.12.

Hello linuxgurugamer, with the current release you have also delivered a version of the Firespitter where two MODULES do not work correctly. If you are also active here, I would be very happy if the MODULE FSbuoyancy and MODULE FloaterModule receive an update. At the moment, formerly self-built, inflatable buoyancy modules no longer work. The following call was used: MODULE { name = FSbuoyancy buoyancyForce = 25.0 // the force applied to lift the part, scaled by depth according to buoyancyRange buoyancyRange = 1.0 // the max depth at which the buoyancy will be scaled up. at this depth, the force applied is equal to buyoancyForce. At 0 depth, the force is 0 buoyancyVerticalOffset = 0.0 // how high the part rides on the water in meters. Not a position offset inside the part. This will be applied in the global axis regardless of part rotation. Think iceberg/styrofoam. maxVerticalSpeed = 0.2 // the max speed vertical speed at which there will be a liftng force applied. Reduces bobbing. dragInWater = 1.5 // when in water, apply drag to slow the craft down. Stock drag is 3. debugMode = False // enables buoyancy control context menus waterImpactTolerance = 250 // For sea planes, any part in the water during take off should have a resistance high enough to withstand take off speeds. splashFXEnabled = False // on by default, creates splashes even deep under water currently... } MODULE { name = FloaterModule FireSpitterBuoyancyFieldName = buoyancyForce FireSpitterBuoyancyModuleName = FSbuoyancy deployAnimationName = deploy_CAIRF-S deployAnimationSpeed = -1.0 //animation shows float deflating, so speed needs to be reversed buoyancyWhenDeployed = 100.0 //in-game adjustable buyoancy % buoyancyWhenStowed = 0.0 maxBuoyancy = 100.0 pumpPower = 100.0 } Thank you very much! If, contrary to expectations, the post is in the wrong place, please accept my apologies.

No, not yet, maybe at a later time (end of the year?).

Theoretically, there is nothing against using it with 1.12.1. However, some mods like Firespitter, RetractableLiftingSurface, MechJeb, KIS and ScanSat are not ready yet.

In order: yes yes no

Albeit very slowly, it continues. At the moment, the landing system of the VA capsule is being tested. This is a double parachute with a solid propellant set with 4 nozzles suspended between the parachutes and the capsule, which, when ignited just above the ground, slows down the residual speed considerably. This landing system has already been used with Voskhod.

... no apology is necessary, my English is not much better.

Thanks for the impressive pictures. If it was so easy with the flaps and rudders, I could have also supplied corresponding rudders. Unfortunately, this is not possible "just like that". However, that is not the reason why I question the gliders. The first point is the more than poor aerodynamic system of KSP, the second the effort to build appropriate models and individual rudders without flooding KSP with a variety of individual parts. The third is the time available and the motivation and participation of the community.

Completely correctly identified, except for the seats and the kerbals, there is no interior.

1. so far there are placeholders for the kerbals in the manned version. An interior is not feasible with the available resources. 2. the model is equipped with monopropellant and can be equipped with engines from the CORE. If you absolutely want to change to LF/O, adjust the CFG file. 3. the manned version can carry 6 kerbals, more can't be stuffed in by any stretch of the imagination. 4. an external orbital or cargo module is not planned yet. 5. not in the near future. All CSA Contares mods have been under complete revision for quite some time. Thanks to several bugs in the version 1.11.1 and questionable improvements, the revision will take some more time. Whether the space gliders will be continued at all depends primarily on my time and motivation, the latter is directly linked to the interest and participation of the community. There may be an interim or compatibility update in the next few weeks, possibly using the effect mod Waterfall instead of Real-Plume.

sorry about that, maybe it helps to clear the browsercache or to use a less buggy or more recent browser. It's not in my hands and everything works correctly in the browser i use.

I'm changing the URL's of a few images in the OP. Please check if the problem still exists. Of course you can remove components from the sub-mod and if you approach it carefully and with the necessary basic knowledge there is no danger of damaging anything. However, this will void any warranty and support.

Yes, the "required mods" are necessary for all parts to work correctly otherwise these mods would not be required. The Core Pack includes docking adapters, antennas, scan-sat components, inflatable floats, RCS, some small rocket engines and many more things. Theme or country specific parts are in the corresponding SUB mods which have to be installed as already described.
