mythic_fci Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Nice! I now have a confirmation that I will be available from at LEAST 9:00pm EST (8:00am GMT+8 - my time) to a maximum of 11pm EST (10:00am my time) on weekends; I may be able to stretch it to 8:30pm EST (7:30am my time) to 12pm EST (11:00am my time), but I can't confirm if I'll be able to commit for that long. Therefore, if the launch is during that time period, you can confirm me as RSO for the mission. One question though - can people not on duty (ex. Booster, RSO, etc.) join the MC radio channel and just listen in? -FCI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adsii1970 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Thanks to the hard work of ZooNamedGames, you've seen a few random samplings for the artwork done for this special project. What I would like to do is to share the mission graphics, some of which you have seen and others that were rejected by me once they were drafted, and a reason why that version was made different than the previous one. I realize that for some of you, it's all about the vehicle that's being launched, but for me, it is about making the magic happen through graphics. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE APOLLO MISSION RECREATION PROGRAM GRAPHIC Spoiler A pictorial history of the development of the Apollo Mission Recreation Program graphic ... Version 1: This was the initial concept graphics. Not realizing this was being done under various realism mods, I simply assumed that the Kerbal (Kermen) theme would be used. The planet Kerbin and the two moons, Mun and Minimus, were situated within the patch, with a red rocket trail looping around Kerbin and the Mun. This design was only the starting point... Versions 2 and 3: These were the second and third versions of the mission graphics. The major changes from Version 1 was the replacing of the Kerbin system (Kerbin, Mun, and Minimus) with Earth and the Moon. Three stars were added, using primary colors, to represent the three crew members; I misunderstood the instructions and didn't read that there were supposed to have been two groups of stars... There are subtle differences in the two designs. In the second version, the stars are not lined, but one solid color; the third version has stars that are lined with the same dark grey as found in the lunar craters of the Moon image. Version 4: (NOT PREVIOUSLY RELEASED): After receiving additional feedback, a second set of three stars were added under the red swoosh and moon. The red swoosh was altered to contain a beveled appearance (which is visible in the larger image on the OP of this thread), and the three stars underside of the red swoosh were given the colors of white, green, and grey. The stars were also beveled as a means to keep the embroidered appearance of the five-pointed stars that commonly adorn the NASA patches. Version 5: The only significant change from Version 4 is all stars were changed to white. The beveled appearance was retained. Version 6: After further feedback from ZooNamedGames, seven additional stars were added to the lower portion of the graphic to represent a total of ten (10) mission control members. For All Kermankind - after much debate was changed to For All Kerbalkind. Version 7: Stars divided between upper and lower graphic. Six stars over and seven stars under the red swoosh. Version 8: The final program graphic. Realigned the stars into two groups. Upper group restored to three stars. The lower group restored to ten and spread out over the bottom 1/3 of the graphic. This version is the OFFICIAL (as much as it can be official) Apollo Mission Recreation Program. SIGNATURE IMAGES FOR THE APOLLO MISSIONS RECREATION PROJECTThese were designed for giggles and grins because someone asked about banners for signatures. In a previous post exchange, we decided that signature images for the ground crew would be in blue, flight crew would be in red, and public affairs would be green. To save space on this thread, I have each of the signature collections placed in spoilers.Ground Crew Signature Images Spoiler Ground Crew Signature Images Generic graphic for members of the mission control team Flight Director Booster Systems Engineer Capsule Communicator (CapCom) Electrical, Environmental and Consumables Manager (EECOM) Flight Activities Officer Flight Dynamics Officer (FIDO) Integrated Communications Officer (INCO) Retrofire Officer (Retro) Range Safety Officer (RSO) Flight Surgeon Flight Crew and Backup Flight Crew Signature Images Spoiler Flight Crew and Backup Flight Crew Signature Images For those appointed as members of the flight crew (scroll to missions graphics for mission specific images) IMAGE COMING SOON Flight Crew (generic) Backup Flight Crew Public Affairs Group Signature Images Spoiler Public Affairs Group Signature ImagesFor those who are a part of the public affairs group. In recognition of those who have contributed mods for this project Spoiler In recognition of those who have contributed mods for this project In grateful recognition of those who have contributed their time and efforts designing mods for this project. Nothing says "thank you" like a chunk of wood to hang on your wall! Generic Kerbalnaut wings and qualification insignia The images in this collection were not created specifically for the Apollo Missions Recreation program. I originally designed these about a year ago and was going to use them in a fan-fic story about a brave Kerbalnaut, Ralph Kyrman. Unfortunately, the blog feature was removed from the new forum setup and this story line goes unresolved. Who knows, maybe in the future, I will actually create a blog site dedicated to Ralph's exploits in space! Anyhow, these images make great signature conversation pieces... Spoiler Generic Kerbalnaut wings and qualification insignia In the tradition of military insignia used by both the United States and Great Britain, I designed these images with a simple formula that gold is always the inferior position when used to indicate rank. Within the American military, for example, this is obvious in the first two officer ranks: U.S. Army/Air Force/Marines U.S. Navy/Coast Guard Second Lieutenant Ensign First Lieutenant Lieutenant, Junior Grade Since there is no "ranking" system in KSP, I decided to use qualification badges to indicate a degree of experience. By no means am I going to require you to use these in any particular manner, but I do ask that if you use these, do not redistribute them if you choose to alter their appearance. If you do decide to share, please always point back to this post as your source of the images. Generic Kerbalnaut qualification images Kerbalnaut Qualification Wings: Awarded once basic Kerbalnaut training has been completed as determined by the flight director (non-specific flight crew assignment.) Senior Kerbalnaut Wings: Awarded for participation in three missions as a member of the flight crew (non-specific flight crew assignment and supersedes Kerbalnaut Qualification Wings) Master Kerbalnaut Wings: Awarded for participation in five missions as a member of the flight crew (non-specific flight crew assignment and supersedes Kerbalnaut Qualification Wings and Senior Kerbalnaut Wings). Generic qualification badges for Apollo-like missions Mission Commander Wings (1st Award): Awarded for completing one mission as the mission commander Mission Commander Wings (2nd Award): Awarded for completing three missions as the mission commander for each mission (Supersedes 1st award). Mission Commander Wings (3rd Award): Awarded for completing five missions as the mission commander for each mission (Supersedes 1st and 2nd awards). Command Module Pilot's Wings (1st Award): Awarded for completing one mission as the command module pilot. Command Module Pilot's Wings (2nd Award): Awarded for completing three missions as the command module pilot for each mission (Supersedes 1st award). Command Module Pilot's Wings (3rd Award): Awarded for completing five missions as the command module pilot for each mission (Supersedes 1st and 2nd awards). Lunar Module Pilot's Wings (1st Award): Awarded for completing one mission as the lunar module pilot. Lunar Module Pilot's Wings (2nd Award): Awarded for completing three missions as the lunar module pilot for each mission (Supersedes 1st award) Lunar Module Pilot's Wings (3rd Award): Awarded for completing five missions as the Lunar module pilot for each mission (Supersedes 1st and 2nd awards) Since NASA rarely allowed a single astronaut to command or pilot more than a handful of missions without promoting them or changing their assignment, I didn't see the need of expounding the qualification badges any further than they already are. In the future, and if it is needed, I can develop additional qualification badges to indicate a Kerbalnaut's qualification should they have served in all three roles. Until then, these are what's available. Comments about the Apollo-like qualification badges: Mission Commander: (yes, those are actually compound images to create Kerbalnaut wings. Commander position on wings denoted by "silver" laurel leaves. Lunar Module Pilot: (yes, those are actually compound images to create Kerbalnaut wings. LM Pilot position on wings denoted by "gold" laurel leaves and silver LM silhouette replacing the command module. Command Module Pilot: (yes, those are actually compound images to create Kerbalnaut wings. CM Pilot position on wings denoted by "gold" laurel leaves surrounding a silver CM silhouette. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Apollo Mission Recreation Project - mission specific images Apollo I Mission Graphics (Mission Specific) Spoiler Apollo I Mission Graphics (Mission Specific) Since I was pressed for time for this particular mission and was trying to keep up with the NASA traditions of having a missions patch/graphic before the launch, the program patch was formed from the basic design with a Roman numeral for 1 - "I" added to the upper left quadrant; the number is actually yellow and beveled with red highlights and sets behind the red swoosh and over Earth. This is a working draft of the mission graphic.
