sashan Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 IMO centrifuge is the most problematic part on the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sashan Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Will you rig solar panels as 2d tracking ones? I remember reading about it, basically you rig base part as one solar panel with its own suncatcher and 0 energy output, and second one as usual, but put it as a child of the first one.

theJesuit Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Not sure it's been asked and I've looked back and surely missed the reference... so please excuse me and someone point me in the right direction...Will you be creating IVAs, and if so will you allow for transparent windows?Peace.

BananaTime101 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Cupola textured!http://i.imgur.com/EMgjZ86.png where would this coupla be on Hermes? i thought it would be connected to the VAL at first but then i realized that you wouldnt be able to see through the top window because the VAL would be in the way. Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work There are two cuppolas. It looks like one is above the bridge and what I assume is the rest of the command and control section.

davidy12 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Is it going to be named Hermes in the game. If you want it to match with stock, I'd say call it "Kermes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Augustus_ Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 That-yes, but for usual mission it should be similar I guess.What I am tapking about:1. Hermes arrives from Mars, ges to high orbit on Lagrange point.2. Orion docks with Hermes there, astronauts go home in the capsule. 3. Hermes is brought into LEO by remote. That may takes weeks or months.4. Hermes is refueled and overhauled in LEO.5. Hermes returns to Lagrange point or high orbit by remote, maybe catches one small probe to top up the fuel (described in book).6. Orion brings crew to Hermes.7. Hermes departs.The point is to avoid astronaut spending weeks on Hermes as Hermes climbs out of Earth gravity well. And that is how Hermes actually works.Good job man!Also the lagrange point you're talking about is EML2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderSpock Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Is it going to be named Hermes in the game. If you want it to match with stock, I'd say call it "Kermes".I feel like you don't need to replace the first letter of the name to K to make it stock alike. By that idea, all stock parts would start with a K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfull Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I feel like you don't need to replace the first letter of the name to K to make it stock alike. By that idea, all stock parts would start with a K.I find it odd that the loading screen splash text "adding K to every word" planted this idea in everyone's head, but in-game hardly anything has a K added to it.I feel like the proper way to "Kerbalize" a name is just to make it silly.

curtquarquesso Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I've dropped the files and such into my GameData folder but got nothing working or seeing anything for building.same hereNo problem here. You put the AresExploration folder into your GameData folder, right? You don't pull the MDV folder out of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDaBeast Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Okay so I figured out what's wrong with the files.In your part configs they're asking for the path "AresExploration/Parts/MDV/heat" which is the path for the heat shield.So this needs to be the download so they can just drag and drop the folder into the gamedata(Download for anyone who is having my type of problem)https://www.dropbox.com/s/4blmzol03ewg4vc/AresExploration.rar?dl=0Also,In-game ScreenShots !
