    What mod is providing the OSD info in this video : (you get your first look about 1 minute in) Anyone know what mod that is, or of any that provide similar functionality? Having a handy readout of how much Dv is left and what biome you are in/over would be quite handy.

    Are there any dependencies, or can these parts be used as-is to make some simple (unarmed) boats? These look useful to use as naval communication relays (I like to put comms relays on the surface on the opposite side of the planet from KSC)

    Thank you SO MUCH for the color coding, really this will be a huge addition!

    Yes actually, they match the colors (roughly) of the default squad parts. For example, the Seismic Accelerometer is a yellow tube - and none of the others are yellow - so it seems to make sense. Similar concept for the others. The mystery goo being green is .. well .. green slime, so ... ;-)

    Suggestion - regardless of the final 3d models being different/same/etc - use a colored stripe (or dot, light, or something) on each to color-code them for which experiment they contain. Blue - Gravioli Detector Yellow - Seismic Accelerometer Red - Thermometer Green - Mystery Goo White - Pressure Barometer

    This can be done with use of a stock fairing. I'm at the office so cant post a screenshot or diagram, but when assembled to be as close to the "real life" N1 mission profile as possible, the top half actually has a fairing inside of a fairing - using a stock fairing as the "outer" one will create the color effect youre looking for for everything but the third stage. It would match the far-left rocket in your image, but not the third-from-left.

    So it will dock with the 0.625 female soyuz port? The collider allowing surface attachments would be nice for placing lights (the little soyuz light comes to mind specifically) on it, but if you decide to add that at some point consider it a low priority - its a great looking part as-is.

    A question about the new LOK dockingport/RCS cap part. (I have not yet tested it in space) What types/genders/sizes/whatever of docking ports is it intended/compatible to connect with? Can I use a 0.62m soyuz female docking port as the intended target for it? (in-line on top of the LK rcs cap part) It may seem like an odd question but I've never actually tried to dock using mismatched genders/sizes with the tantares parts so I'm not sure how they behave outside the "intended" use. Also, don't know if its intentional or not, but it doesn't seem to have a 'surface' for things to attach to. For example, I had trouble mounting a fixed light on it, had to place it on the OM and use the translation/reposition slider in VAB to make it 'look' attached to the cap. When I've had this issue before it's usually been with things like retractable landing gear parts or cargo bay doors. Not a complaint, just a report. :-)

    FYI , the RCS on the new lok docking cap doesn't seem to be working

    I've got the latest sigma dimensions. Update: Re-installing sigma dimensions resolved the issue. It looks like my antivirus was blocking it's DLL for some reason. Note to anyone using symantec, you'll need to manually trust sigmadimension's DLL file

    I'm having a problem where the height maps seem really out of whack. Installed everything as-per the instructions, no extra tweaking, but KSC spawns in the ground and the height of all mountains on Earth is seriously exaggerated. I didn't see any notice of this issue in a quick scan of the thread, or a fix, any insight?

    In one of the preview pics you showed it with the 4 little "arms" at the top - if there was an animation (perhaps, deploying those little arms) that might be a valid target for the nodeTransformName config. I'd volunteer to play around with it myself, but I've got zero experience with animations in wings3d/unity (I've only made 3 or 4 VERY basic parts "from scratch"). If a beta of the part with a animation for the arms were to mysteriously appear, I'd volunteer to fiddle around with the config files to try and make it work ;-) ;-)

    Just a thought - make it work like the grappler claw instead of a docking port. It would provide a little more niche use for the part, still allow it to be used for the LOK to grapple the LK without needing to make a new part for the LK to dock to it with, AND would provide some serious utility value given its small size vs the stock claw part.

    Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou! Also, the new Service Module in your post a few down from this one is by FAR the best iteration of the Tantares SM yet. I give you the highest of fives for this!
  15. tjsnh
    Like this, where the SM is two-tone and has a grey stripe on the "top" half matching the color of the capsule. Having more than one color of capsule is epic, but having the other 2 modules color-match the capsule will be double-secret-epic. ;-)
  16. tjsnh
    This is kindof the best thing ever. Any chance of service module skins with the matching-color stripe near the top like one of the older revisions had?
  17. tjsnh
    Chances are non-zero that we'll get the western continent's "old KSC" launch site as a stand-in for Baikonour with the MH expansion. Does anyone know, or has Squad said, if missions created with the "mission editor" will be saved off as flat files (like .craft files) and shareable with other players?
  18. tjsnh
    Beale, First - I love the new previews. Seriously - amazing work on that R-7 revamp (especially the prospect of both grey AND green skins, for reasons I mentioned previously) and the Kosmos (been waiting a long time for that one!!) Second - apropos what a few others have said, please don't stop doing "pack" version releases of Tantares and/or TantaresLV when additions are ready. Its far easier for a lot of us to just download the latest pack than to download the pack, then trawl through the thread for github links etc etc.
  19. tjsnh
    Is that pic some parts from MH? It doesn't look familiar, but I may have missed it.
  20. tjsnh
    This is going to be a real wild-card for a lot of mods, and mod developers. Its hard to tell for sure what parts Squad is going to include, but from some of their posts it sounds like a fairly comprehensive lineup of both US and Soviet hardware which will create significant overlap with mods like Tantares, BDB, etc etc. I still feel though, that having a variety of models to choose from is going to be a godsend for mods like mine - not to mention the portion of the player base who won't have the expansion pack.
  21. tjsnh
    Recolor'ed R-7 parts FTW! (Food for thought - having a few texture options for the R-7/Soyuz rocket allows modders, such as myself, to have different variants of the rocket in the tech tree .. kindof reflects the fact that a modern day Soyuz booster is just a tad more efficient/etc than the older 60s-era R-7 varients.)
  22. tjsnh
    I dont have the link handy, but you might enjoy "stock sized real solar system" , its the "real" solar system but re-scaled to Kerbal sizes. This mod, along with my soviet space program mod, should be balanced to work with it without things being too over/under powered.
  23. tjsnh
    I was able to take a look and I think I know what the problem is. I won't be able to post a fix for a couple of days (some IRL stuff keeping me swamped) , as a temporary solution I'd suggest just alt-F12 to cheat-complete that particular contract. The fix I'll be posting won't cause you any problems if you cheat-complete that one.
  24. tjsnh
    Good error report - I'll have some time to troubleshoot it over the weekend. Does it fail to complete the "dock in orbit" step of the contract when you dock, or do you not get credit for finishing after you land?
  25. tjsnh
    Looks like custom barn kit will allow me to do it with a MM patch, thank you
