dear all, By way of exception I have done with the habitats already the texturing - just finished to texturing all the new Habitat Modules. I hope it looks good. here the full setup of the modules http://imgur.com/gallery/EAzI8 here few pictures : - next week making UNITY Assets of the all Habitat Modules.

dear all, here a preview (blender) of the DMC-5 (Docking Module Can 5m) for ATS. basically do me something hard with the choice of colors and texturing because is not my domain... but i think looks pretty good. Maybe other details will be added later. - the DMC-5 has Diameter of a 5m

Thanks, all the best to you, too

yes mod is actually in development. Project-download exist but only for project contributors and testers. why : Because it does not make sense for the others to release a non-finished product as download. - when it is finished there will be released a new topic in the RELEASE-thread of this forum.

Would like to add : why per docking node 2 need to transform is unclear to me. - the transforms needed for the docking are the "controlTransformName = TF2_ctrl" - these are each rotated by 90 '(see pictures above) but is ok, i have a solution that works on game.

hi, glad you like it ! at moment we work for the next test release - will publish the link as soon as possible

love the ship details (external and IVA's) so it's absolutely awesome !

great parts pack, beautiful mod !

@InsaneDruid many thanks for your help and solution hints The current solution is as follows: http://imgur.com/gallery/lYGV7

hi all, i make some texturing for the habitat Modules. here few pictures : http://imgur.com/gallery/3ZJ3S i think i will go for the blue-strip painted version

hi all, after some try it has now worked. The IVA for the bee-pod I started and integrated. Still not quite finished there is a lot to make. But has fun to create this little "bee". - the new Habitat-Modules still need to be created and configured. next weekend .. - here some pictures - have fun! http://imgur.com/gallery/LfCIt and http://imgur.com/gallery/lC0fh IVA view - ( simply love this feature ! very usefull ) comparison with MK1-2

@InsaneDruid @Bonus Eventus many many thanks for your prompt response and hints ! @InsaneDruid many many thanks ! I'm on the road this week. Will try it as soon as possible.

at moment i have some little issues with multiple docking ports on a same object - Of course I am grateful for every tip that contributes to the solution here more infos : apart from this issues, the small bee-pod makes a good impression at work on space. http://imgur.com/a/tuaoi cheers !

@InsaneDruid @Bonus Eventus ( I have seen that you can experience synonymous with docking nodes. Therefore my request also to you. ) hi all, i have another Q: It is possible to make 2 docking port on the same object ("ship"-bee pod). One down there others at the front up. It tried but it seems so that only the upper (on the front TF1 ) would function. It is possible to make 2 docking port on the same object ("ship"). One down there others at the front up. It tried but it seems so that only the upper (on the front) would function. "Control from here" does not seem to work - there is a total of 3 of them - with none of the three it is possible to switch to the lower side (TF2). Apparently only one docking port per object can be addressed. Of course it could be solved by creating a separate docking port, and attached to the ship. But this would be my last ratio - Later I deleted "TRFbot" and "TRFtop". But has not brought anything. - bevore i have consulted this thread : Thank you in advance for your support ! http://imgur.com/gallery/tuaoi config file of bee-pod

Hello, I almost dare not to ask. Since I could this time, the doku I no longer find. Just have a 3d model. The panels are connected with constrains. But I know something is still missing. Q: for a simple panel folding you have to add armature bones? For the tips many thanks in advance, raendy http://imgur.com/gallery/m1L2i

Hi all, yesterday had forgotten to make front "truster" on the 'bee'-pod. So here is the model with truster in use. http://imgur.com/a/aT1U7 In the color combination i'm not sure yet. - with this 'bee'-pod comes again a piece more work to me, although I wanted to reduce the parts to the necessary, but the reality view differently .. work amount last weekend .. work amount this weekend .. Obviously, I do not keep this rhythm for a long time .. until I then notice :

And this would also be a possibility to draw a space tug - I think better than the previous concept - this 'bee' could land next to transport work also on planets with low atmosphere. - functionally the same as the first design: rear as well as front docking ports. Additional 4 drive agregate at the rear, for missions with smaller range. - 1 man pod, or remote control from the mother ship. http://imgur.com/gallery/ItAZ0 small cylinder = kerbal (ca.90 cm height) to compare small cylinder = kerbal (ca.90 cm height) to compare

hi all, once again the concept has been thought out - to transport the habitat modules and to put them together, there are different ways. I have decided for a small transport-unit. This can dock on the outsides of a HAB modul and attach it if necessary to another docking node. here some (q&d) render sketches : http://imgur.com/a/H6T9t http://imgur.com/a/9UK93 YES NOW WE CAN! build a Big Space Station on LEO with this small space-truck LBSI CDU-62 6m diameter at back for Habitat transports, 2m dia. Vessel - one men command or alternatively remote command Well, the design is appropriate, not very nice but have a certain charm of a small space pick-up. LBSI CDU-62 with docked on front a MK1-2 vessel

lovley nice mod. !! must be integrated in my new Capsula - Pity there is no "IVA prop" instrument variant.

Good discussion - this topic should be deepened in my opinion. Why: apart from the clear moral aspect that speaks for each modder, and the one donation NOT against copy right, I would address this topic quite differently. - first :I would hide that it is the game theme, it is about art. To expand the art, to embellish it and to give the end user an emotion. a mod is the product of many countless working days, which an artist or Artist Team (modding artist's) needs to make available. - as simple and self-evident as it is today to pay for a good mp3 song few cents on the music portals (like Apple Music, Spotify,etc.), so it should be self-evident also for modding artists - as simple as the musician from the music-portals, the cents so that he can continue to make good music, so of course this should also be for a modding artist ! So I do not partly understand the whole principle-discussion whether one should donate at all for modding(ARTIST) .. my view is quite clear YES! YES it should be self-evident - in reality it is not .. consumer think: 'is only a modder'... but the MP3 songs on consumers handy are also free ...? NO ! no, because musician cant live by air - .. coffee costs -> free download mentality harms everyone. First the artist,. later the consumer .. because the artist has changed job or hobby.

wow ! pictures looks very promising Q: but - is this the future ingame picture of this mod, or only a google-earth render ... ? http://imgur.com/a/TXV8t

Thank you for your advice, will examine this. As described above in a previous thread, I can start the next Rocket Factory release only after the AVALON project is finished. - but here a little preview of the new mod. .. AVALON picture description: ATS (Avalon Transferstage) on LEO with Standart habitat Formation, and two Upperstage configured SS-AVALON plus one single Ship SS-AVALON (upper right) docked on ATS. here some other pictures ATS Formation on LEO : http://imgur.com/gallery/9zQkf cheers, raendy

Hi all, still a few pictures to the theme habitat module. I have found that the habitat main module lbsi-HAB-84 [8.4m dia. X 8.3m height] is roughly comparable (With additional modules) to the Bigelow Nautilus * BLUE object => BA330 'Nautilus' outher dimensions - here therefore some pictures from the inside of the nautilus - maybe I can take his as an example for my Habitats IVA. - In contrast to the BA 330 my habitats are not extendable. Maybe I should think about it and make it extendable. .. * (Bigelow Nautilus: 45 x 22 feet (13.7 x 6.7 meters), 50,000 pounds (22.675 kg), 11.650 cu / ft (330 cu / meters) full source/article found here : http://www.murc.ws/showthread.php?58255-Inside-Bigelows-space-station&s=4b7c46fa5d8f5868d852a4eb9b8db43a

so just finished the ATS Engine drives in Unity -- it looks quite good http://imgur.com/gallery/BNViF the redesign of the LF (chemical liquid fuel) version of ATS Engine will following soon. - The height had to be adapted S1 STAGE-Adapter. - tomorrow config setup of drives, and ATS Core FuelTank Config Adaptation to ISFuelSwitch plugin (Interstellar Fuel Switch ) - so because now we are Different tank fillings. NERVA double Nuclear-Engine // NERVA Nuclear-Engine // ClosedCycleGasCore Nuclear-Engine later, a summary of the ATS engines follows in the form of a table matrix with performance and features propellant use etc.. PS. There is still a lot of work, I think I will not finish tomorrow, the next test release will only come next week. - cheers

hi kertech, sry. you mean delta-v ? .. it is depending on the selected ATS Drive .. so i will post soon a detailed matrix of the possile composition of all the Engines. - so, just finished the blender models of new Habitat for the ATS - it looks now like that: http://imgur.com/gallery/rOiXy I hope the whole looks better in the game. . I have decided to take the fuel-cluster tank into the assortment. This can be used as an "ats unit" for refueling other stations or (like this picture). Oh yes - as usual - the textures come at the end .. first I test functional aspects. .
