Very nice idea!

Nice recreation! Oh btw it’d be cool if you could make parts to recreate the energia 2 reusable rocket.

yeah this has been on my mind. Thanks for your Suggestion!

The Energia parts are just fine, but there requires lots of work improving the Buran cockpit. The collision model doesn't fit very well, every time my Kerbals leave the hatch, It's impossible for them to get back.

I can see the IVA textures in  the folder but in the game they are not loaded.  The texture for parachute is also missing.

This mod contains a Buran-like Cockpit. It may help you @papasid

Oops!

Please check whether the decouple module of Buran-T container is functioning.

I think it is supposed to decouple the cargo by itself, but in game, not.

@papasid 

I am concentrating on buran for now. i have never tested the container, however i will take a look at it once buran is fully fixed.

[squeaker0704]

is there a mod i need to get the engines 

[papasid]

Yes, it is included in the mod itself. link

[hypervelocity]

this looks very good @papasid, thanks for your work. i have always played RSS/RO and never tried out a shuttle/buran, this will be my first time! thanks to @Alcentar for the great models!

[papasid]

Hey, you are welcome!

[DoctorDeath]

Hi, thanks for amazing mod! But I cant`t land Buran after deorbit. It seems that the wings do not have a lifting force. Can U help me?

I don't see FAR for new versions of KSP

[papasid]

FAR is available for newer versions as well, check on ckan. and anyways the craft is unstable with or without far, and i don't have the knowledge to fix it. i have tried raising up the issue on different places, lets see how that goes.

Ah makes sense, probably a stupid question but does ROE require me to be running Realism Overhaul or does it work in stock?
