Beale 18,145 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Good job! Looks really nice.Thanks! The slants at the bottom of the (radial tanks?) on the real Proton, slant upward, exposing part of the engine assembly. It's due to these pieces indicated (don't know what they're for. Possibly aerodynamic stability or exhaust protection?)http://i.imgur.com/FmKOhkx.pngJust so you know.Eh, you know I have got this wrong. Thanks for pointing this out. Possibly I will change it, but first I need to model the nozzles and see how they will look.Modelling the nozzles separate so that they can gimbal all nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dimovski 97 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Why would it matter anyway, you're not doing the real Proton after all, you're making some ALV thingy to shoot little green men into space... Anyway, looks great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HuntsmanThe8 35 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Beale, When your completely done with all your Soviet/Russian Spacecraft, Could you make more 'Merican,Japanese,Indian,Chinese and European Spacecraft?

pTrevTrevs 2,653 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Could we maybe have the markings on the side of the rocket in red for a little more color? A flag decal wouldn't be too bad either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Such as the Orion,Mercury,Skylab,Gemini,Apollo,MOL,CST-100,ISRO Orbital Vehicle,HTV,Shuguang,Kankoh-maru, and the Dragon Spacecraft?I doubt it, it's really out of scope for me.Things like the Fuji and ATV are more one off. little fun projects.In reality, there is an endless pit of Russian stuff, and I am digging that pit deeper (I'm not complaining, I want to reach the bottom!)Could we maybe have the markings on the side of the rocket in red for a little more color? A flag decal wouldn't be too bad either.Quite likely! If not red, then orange.Flag decal, I will have that one the second stage.And new ATV needs flag decal...I have just completed Beales tutorial on things for the purpose of making my own mods based on some of those.

dimovski 97 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 If I was Beal, I'd wait with bases until Squad starts working on them properly...Else you might have a disaster similiar to BobCats Lunokhod, which required a special plug-in to work before rovers were added, and since then never really started working properly (I still have some torque issues ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I am absolutely smitten with it.Real thanks for linking this.I feel like every other Moon base proposal it will go nowhere, but let's have some fun with it...Really need a Fregat for this, but the Fuji tank is a stand-in.If I was Beal, I'd wait with bases until Squad starts working on them properly...Else you might have a disaster similiar to BobCats Lunokhod, which required a special plug-in to work before rovers were added, and since then never really started working properly (I still have some torque issues )Yes, unfortunately this is probably the best method. Stock wheels are badly in need of an overhaul, which hopefully is what Beta is all about. Current setup in Unity is only well understood by a few (I really rely on those few for help making previous wheels) and in-game wheels are too unpredictable (rolling uphill?).I love that you have labeled one of the bins "smooth jazz".It gets the Geckos in the mood Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DGatsby 298 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I like how in that base they land the Soyuz directly on the Moon. There is nothing Soyuz can't do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
