[1.12.X] Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR [26.0][18.12.2023][Soyuz Revamp Again]


Beale

Recommended Posts

Personally, I'd like to have Zarya-styled RCS tanks and ISS-themed trusses and radiators. But good ISS copies may be assembled with Near Future parts (radiators, solar wings, trusses), FusTek (American segment) and Tantares (Russian segment) combined. And I've seen a mod on MEPS pallets, can't remember the link.

Actually Kosmos is getting an offical overhaul so combined with fustek I would say that is the best combo for and ISSalike station. The tantares stuff would be great for resupplying the station.

Tantares 1.25 Soyuz wont look well with ~2.5 KOSMOS parts, but looks really nice with 1.875 and 2.5 Tantares Vegas, I'd suggest using HGR Soyuz with KOSMOS. I've tried in the past several mod combinations and stopped on the dependency Tantares+FusTek+NearFutureSolar+NearFutureConstruction+NearFutureElectric+MEPS for good quality copies. AIES ladders and HGR 1.25-1.875 adapters can help in making PMA, but they can be done without them anyway.

That what I was talking about (I was too lazy and hyperedited it to orbit):

unfortunatly it not work (or i do it wrong). not big deal, real chute must be deleted!)

Beale's confix fix for upside down chutes works for me. Find file "Tantares_RealChute_MM.cfg" in RealChute folder. There are configs for 2 parts and you want second one (@PART[Tantares_Parachute_A]:FOR[RealChute]). Find this...


MODULE
{
name = ProceduralChute
}

and change it to this...


MODULE
{
name = ProceduralChute
textureLibrary = StockReplacement
currentCanopies = Main chute
}

Great mod Beale by the way :)

I already mentioned it, but there is a low part stock ISS here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/88361-Bespin-Aerospace-Completelly-Stock-Replicas-of-Real-Stuff!-NOW-TAKING-REQUESTS!

With the Tantares parts (glory to Beale !), it's possible to make it looking even more realistic with low part count, even more if using few FusTek parts.

I had never heard of this pack... Great stuff!

I wish I had the drive to deal with FusTek's dependencies. It's such a beautiful mod, and a lovely ISS could be done in combination with this one.

That's not to say I want Tantares to tackle the American/European orbital segments, though. I'm happy with Tantares being what it is. Only things I'd want added to this pack are more probe parts, since I like tiny spacecraft, but again, I'm happy with Tantares as is.

Thanks for your work, Beale.

Thanks :)

I'm not against some ISS parts, at some point. Perhaps the MPLM?

My general "roadmap" is

1. See something I like.

2. Put it in game.

So who knows :)

My New 604+ Part Station!

Wowow! You've taken station building to Whackjob levels! Nice stuff! 604 seems quite a low number for such a station, nice work :)

Awesome! I think I caught the stream where this was made? (It was re-uploaded to youtube). That Truss is gorgeous!

yes, now it work! Thank you! And thanks to Beale!

Glad it works!

Spektr... (Because I can't post without at least one image).

It's a new version, the stream one didn't had some of the mods, this one is kinda more polished. :)

Yay! Looking forward to seeing progress, that Spektr is awesome! :)

It's really nice looking! :)

The Spektr part is beautiful!

TKS textures need a pass over in general, they're exceptionally harsh, compared to other textures.

May I ask for a little thing? I'd like to have colliders on TKS radial mono tanks, so i could attach RCS, engines and other things. :blush:

This is truly.........Tanta-lizing :)

Hehe, too easy!

Thankyou.

woo... can't wait to rebuild Mir in 0.25 with your new parts =w=

Great! :D

Hi!

Sure, should be easy enough.

You can try this yourself, also, in the meantime. Just change:

attachRules = 0,1,0,0,1

to

attachRules = 0,1,0,1,1

Talking about stock ISS, I've already made one, finished it today. Here it is with Soyuz docked:

Cool part! How many does the Spektr seat? One could almost use it as an alternative Gemini pod.

Thanks!

It has no IVA yet, so no fixed number.

I'm questioning 2 or 3.

It doesn't have any control, so you might find a few difficulties using it for a Gemini :wink:

Any News on those Alternate Textures? <3

Btw, How about a Stockalike Shenzhou Spacecraft?

Not much new to show unfortunately.

As for the Shenzou, it's been a possibility for a long while, but not for the foreseeable future.

That is one huge Soyuz (or a small ISS) :D

But, very impressive design there!

This is the downside of making a three-person Soyuz in stock. And I try to keep the countpart low and not use part clipping. In stock, I have my Soyuz rocket 2.5 meter and my Proton with 3.75 base core + 2.5m radial tanks. I have a 1.25-m stock Soyuz craft, but it has only 1 crew, so it's almost useless. :c

That's where your mod comes into the game, I've played mostly stock with my friend in mutliplayer, and since the first releases of Tantares I've been watching and using it. Your job is really awesome. :)

This is such a great mod! The existing parts are great and I'm really looking forward to seeing the Soyuz launcher as well.

What happened to the alternate textures from the previous release, though? Those were also great!

Edit: also, here's my recent HGR/Tantares mash-up... among other mods. :)

Oh, and here's a command module and lander on the way to the Mun!

omg ... just started Buzz Aldrisn Space programm manager ... and wow it's HUGE with so manydifferent plans and ideas about teh soviet spaceprogramm ... maybe i can get sopme ideas for you Beale :D

LK-700 for example :D

or the minispaceplane :cool:

Hmm, the LK-700 is interesting. It lands on skids? I don't really dig the colour scheme however.

That mashup of the SoyJuice pod and the VA descent engine is really interesting! I do like that :)

About the textures, they were sadly lost in the transition to 0.25

In general I'll be trying to re-release them.

But you know in general, all the textures need re-doing, especially on the larger parts where the low texel density means the "segmented panels" approach doesn't really work.

So here is the new Spektr part, compare it to the TKS orbital segment.

Which is closer to stock? I'm more inclined to say the Spektr.

Also, compare it to one of the smaller parts, it fits in better with the little stuff, no?

Feedback on this sort of stuff would be very interesting. Especially from any 3D artists out there and any other Stockalike modders (I'm very much an amateur).

I would say three!

Done! :cool:

Tantares - TKS command modul land test : Cool:

Very nice :D I wish I could land that accurate.

What are the small "spiders" around the VA capsule top? I can't quite make them out.

I would agree that that the Spektr is closer to stock, and is better fitting with the smaller parts. Thanks for making it three as well!
