Progress Development continues, but I need your help! If there exists any photos of the Progress under construction (pre thermal blankets) I will love you forever. No idea if this is what you are searching for, it is not under construction but doesn't have thermal blankets either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, it's a very early type, nice and detailed. 1 minute ago, onlinegamesz said: No idea if this is what you are searching for, it is not under construction but doesn't have thermal blankets either. Great many thanks to the both of you, much appreciated. I was familiar with the model, but only a few photos, the onlinegamesz picture is completely new to me The only other pictures I had was the 1981 Moscow show, but you can never know for sure how accurate this is, especially closer to 40 years ago now... I think I am mainly wondering how much the centre section bulges outward, when the thermal blankets are on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beale Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) The Blok-G gets a little love: The antenna gets a double-length variant: And finally: You can get this on GitHub. Mainly some balancing and the above long antennas. I've cleaned up a few of the technology tree nodes (But they are still very basic). Almaz APOS?

I applaud the progress of your work-in-progress Progress. May I ask if you plan to redo the batteries, or make a smooth (thermal blanket) version? Seems that way, from looking at the picture. Also, I'm experimenting with Hot Staging so I can start using Real Fuels. I think I may have to give some tanks some ablator and strengthen the decouplers. Every time I try to hot stage the decouplers blow up. Edited May 11, 2017 by DJ Reonic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedTom Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 This is the best schematic I could find of the original progress used for Salyut-6 Photography from the time is sadly lacking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFatalis Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) @Beale I couldn't find any pictures of the progress without the thermal blanket but I did found this: You can clearly see in this picture that there is some kind of a buldge in the middle. Edit: do you have roadmap/specific parts you are planning to make after finishing Mir/Progress?

TK-313 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Kerbals doing kerbal things. Like trying to make a Munar lander out of a VA. Yes, it can land. No, Jeb, it can't take off. No, it's not your "house on da Mun", it's a simulator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the stock Mun, yes But without a base with a big fuel tank it's not really useful (the middle screenshot sort of gives you the idea) and with an added fuel tank the engines are too weak to stop that mass in time... Which totally needs more testing Edited May 12, 2017 by TK-313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimer4 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hi @Beale, just wondering if you plan on separating the blok e tankage and engine(s) from the landing structure. But that lk is looking mighty fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like an over-illuminated thing on a black background from a nearly 90 degrees angle, nothing more. Shadows are still visible though, so it can hardly be a 2D model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third_OfFive Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 @Beale For your next release, could you add IVAs to a few of your station parts? Pleeease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that he will try to do so for the spacecraft (Soyuz, TKS, etc.), but that making IVAs for large station parts is too much hassle for something most people won't use. (Paraphrasing there - also, sorry if I came across a bit rude) EDIT: But we both live in hope... Edited May 12, 2017 by NISSKEPCSIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure IVA's is something he is looking into, however they are very Intensive toe create, often requiring more detailed textures then you may find on external parts. They are very time consuming to produce, I'm just happy he's churning out such good / stock compatible parts at this great rate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
