clivman Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Size-2 (apollo) pod and Mk-3 pods IVA's are way out of scale. The apollo capsule was 4.4 m and had only a small space devoted to astronauts. Kerbals are in the same proportion to their apollo pod and yet appear to take up almost all of the space. To be at the proportions in the IVA they would have to be 1 meter tall at the least, and looking from the outside it could easily fit seven kerbals, just like the CST-100 does. The shuttle has the same problem. In real life it had huge amounts of interior space and also fit an airlock and seven humans. Yet in KSP, the IVA shows four kerbals with barely any room. The new IVA's are awesome but both of these pods need to be re-done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Phil Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The Apollo capsule was 3.05 meters in diameter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orionkermin Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The stock IVAs are also already scaled up compared to the outside as well. I don't think they need to be any bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 1. The Mk1-2 pod is 2.5m in diameter.2. The Apollo pod was 3.9m in diameter (not 3.05, that's 10 feet and the diameter of the Atlas and Titan boosters, not any pods--Mercury was 1.9m in diameter and Gemini's service module ended at 3.05m but the pod itself was only about 2.3m in diameter).3. I have not noticed the IVA being that out of scale for a 2.5m pod, considering how near the nose everyone sits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sal_vager Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Sorry but they don't need to be rescaled, any change in scale would not be noticed at all, it would be work for no benefit and would require all stock and modded IVA's to be changed.Kerbals are 1 meter tall by the way.How about some suggestions for gameplay instead Closing!
