I continue to make them very slowly. Have you considered approaching MOARdV about making IVAs? Between his work with RasterPropMonitor and the ASET props, he's created some amazing IVAs. In particular, he made an IVA for the Gemini capsule that I refuse to live without since it allows me to fly exclusively from the cockpit. Masterful immersive stuff.

Nothing, you brought the topic of IVAs my friend @Jack Wolfe I think it is too much to ask, it really is at a level for paid work.

I am desperate to get my new HD so I can redo the lost CSM IVA I had finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to make Skylab with currently existing BDB parts and let's say it didn't work out well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Reonic Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I seem to be having a problem with the ALV (Proton). Using MJ or Gravity Turn, my first stage works fine, but my second and third stages do not fire...at all. I have to take manual control, and usually that causes even more problems. The Soyuz launcher works perfectly, and I'm about to test the Ariane 5 and N-1 to see if they have any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They considered a lot of stuff like this for ASTP and followups to it. In fact, the plan they originally settled on was Apollo docking to one of the Salyuts, but then that was cancelled for reasons related to the docking hub (as is the theme for everything good that was ever supposed to happen in space travel) and they conjured up the one that actually happened (using the hub from the original plan, as it turns out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if they would've done something cool like that, the Space Age would've lasted a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful, not without changing the political climate significantly. The time period where they planned ASTP was sort of a high point in relations, which had already started cooling.

gunt3rgam3r Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hello All, Thanks to @Beale and everyone that works on this mod, it is one of my favorites. Just a little feedback on 1.2.1, I have been trying to do reentry with the A-ZH9 capsule, and it seems like one of the changes to the aerodynamic model will not allow it to slow down. Not a problem with the any of the other capsules I use in my heavily modded save. Just something to put on the list to look at in the future : Thx for all the work!

My Photoshop won't open them. I use an image viewer: XnView. It cannot open mbm file, but it can with dds. Then "save as" the image in any format you like (tga, png, jpg... etc etc) for your image editor program you using (so not only photoshop)... ... for conversion back, I use DDS4KSP, a miniprogram published time ago here on this forum, to convert any possible format back to dds.

Because, you know, on the real Vostok missions the pilot had to eject and parachute down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this part is very troublesome, I am not sure how to fix it I think it needs a custom drag-cube profile, but where to start there - I do not know. I will hopefully get around to that when I can. With a very shallow angle, it can still be used for re-entry, you must only be very careful 19 minutes ago, NeoFatalis said: Looks great! ,although I think the grid structure between the stages would look nicer if it would have a bit more struts in a smaller angle maybe? just like here: Good suggestion! @Third_OfFive Looks nice!
