Perfect timing to see this: I put on Public Service Broadcasting's song Sputnik, get an urge to launch sputnik, so I proceed to check the forums to look for the R7 launcher files, and what's the first thing I see? Looks beautiful; what part have you used for the satellite itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beale Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) TantaresLV Version 9.0- New Blok-E upper stage. A small, but important, update - bringing the Vostok Blok-E upper stage. One big change, there are new craft files! If there is anything missing you would like to see uploaded, let me know!

Pulsar Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I'm testing Liquid hydrogen MM config for RD-0120s. Work well on Energia-Buran in 2.5x so far. The config reduced the thrust to 70% of original, but have higher Isp based on the real engine. config file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m1ygecm9kc5su5m/EnergiaLH2.cfg?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorg Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) My attempt at an Energia Vulkan: Booster separation is a little explody although the core is OK. need to tweak. 1 hour ago, Pulsar said: I'm testing Liquid hydrogen MM config for RD-0120s.

Was thinking of doing this for myself when I saw this. This config seems ok at stock scale too with the Energia+Buran. although the boosters can now carry the whole thing into orbit before separation. I should be able to increase payload mass now though as a result. Overall delta V is reduced due to the lower density of LH2 in the core unless I stretch the centre core (which isnt needed really). I might need to tweak the craft a bit to account for new CoM balance too but I think I might stick with this config. Anyway thanks for making this!

What a beast , I am pretty happy it looks like you could build it without too much headache. A couple of new Energia parts, as well as some texture cleanups should be on the way soon. 8 hours ago, ARTOBAN said: Can you add energia buran craft file ?

Zorg Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) 9 hours ago, Beale said: What a beast , I am pretty happy it looks like you could build it without too much headache. @BealeThe only small issue I had is that there is no engine shroud for the single RD-0122 engine adapter when used as the upper stage. Would be great if you could add a shroud in the future. For now the Squad 5m engine plate mounted above it is a good solution to provide an interstage shroud although I think its exclusive to Making History. I might also give a procedural fairings interstage a go, the texture might go nicer with the craft. I also built Energia M with a Blok D upper stage inside the fiaring. Built both a version with a 3.75m stock type fairing and this one pictured here with a procedural fairing of 4.something meters which is closer to the real thing in proportions. Edit: Come to think of it, a craft that only uses stock and tantares parts should probably have a 5m fairing instead of 3.75m. Anyway glad to hear there are even more Energia parts coming http://www.russianspaceweb.com/energia_m.html Edited June 4, 2018 by Zorg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into Notepad or Notepad++ or any other plain text editor and save your code as a .cfg file. Then just put it into a folder named e.g. 000theredtompatches and drop into your gamedata folder.

golkaidakhaana Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 @Beale, perhaps I'm being overly specific, but is there any chance of a .9735m Kristall / Zarya node end cap in the near future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no end cap, but a special version of the Mir node is already included for those modules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, I know. I meant how Kristall had a second APAS-89 port on one side and a weird bulge on the other, Zarya has a similar thing. It just looks weird leaving it blank.

You mean like the silver cover on the topside of Zarya? I've been using the Vostok Parachute for now but I agree, would be a nice thing to have Maybe instead of a special version of the Mir 6-way adapter with 4 ports we could have the 6-way adapter and a part to cover the unused attachment nodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
