I don't wanna try myself and get it wrong :c Thanks ! It's quite simple ! for the Gemini cargo just change the pod and then put the normal Gemini sm, and for the agena just put the cargo bay after the docking-port But as Cobalt said, it's still needs some textures adjustments (but if you want you still cand do it !)

I'll give it a shot, and check with you guys if it's right, but I'll take them again when the textures have been done too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobaltWolf Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) EDIT: (Yes it's up here above the images) To give something of a status update, my current biggest concern is finishing the Saturn C-1 parts. Now that the H-1 is mostly done, I need to add the last couple parts (such as a 2.5m fairing base, possibly the 3.125m fairing base instead of including that in Barbarian), finish the textures, poop out some normal maps, and finish the new RL-10. After that I'll try and finish the MOS + Gemini parts. Probe stuff, though progress was made, is a relatively low priority so that stuff won't come out for a while yet still. There isn't half finished probe stuff in the mod right now in the same way there's half finished Saturn and MOS stuff. @Jso I'm not 100% sure what your projects are for this update but I believe we are also going to try and balance the science stuff. I haven't decided if I want to try and include the Centaur revamp in this update. 1 hour ago, akron said: Sure, there's also that other project which I've slacked on... but I do have to write ScienceDefs for the rest of my new experiments so I can add a few entries for BDB as well. Oh yeah, finishing that would be cool too. 28 minutes ago, MrMeeb said: I can do that! Can you PM me some craft files for them or something? I don't wanna try myself and get it wrong :c I'm not comfortable calling them done yet - there might be some more parts that get wiggled in there. The Cargo Agena, for example, might require solar panels or something. I wasn't particularly happy with the appearance of the agena cargo module so I might remake it. More Cygnus-y maybe, since all the vehicles for MOS took inspiration from ISS resupply vehicles in some way. Also, @Foxxonius Augustus, when he designed the Cargo Gemini variant for me (he drew it and I made it), left a provision for it to be upgraded from the Gemini docking system (with the simple mechanical docking to something like a 0.9375m APAS, or possibly the Apollo docking module (which I believe will be 0.625m in BDB - that thing is tiny!). I would LOVE to see what the Cargo Gemini and Cargo Agena would look like with those parts on. I am not sure which mod has a good APAS in that scale, but someone could probably use FASA's Apollo docking parts for the second option. As for their assembly, I went back and grabbed two old albums. The first one is newer, and I'd defer to that one for how to assemble the OVs. Basically the assembly for the normal / mk1 versions with the Gemini docking parts, you have either the Augustus CM or the Agena cargo module, then the flat-ish 0.9375m>0.625m adapter, then the Leo Docking Mechanism, then use the Belle nose cone with the hidden node to cover it up smooth as silk.

I'll lurk around and wait 46 minutes ago, CobaltWolf said: 0.9375m APAS Contares has one at 0.625, and Tantares and Cx Aerospace (my fav, because of the extendable buffer and tasteful greeble) have one at 0.9375 Huh, the photos of the Tantares and Cx ones aren't showing n the album. If you go to the album on Imgur, they're there though Fixed! 46 minutes ago, CobaltWolf said: possibly the Apollo docking module It has a red nose!

CobaltWolf Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 @MrMeeb interesting, thanks! I was wondering what they would look like. I suppose that the one I'd actually 'support' would be the BDB Apollo docking mechanism, once that's in. That still fits under the nose cone if you tweak its position. I wonder if you could justify including the reentry RCS - there wouldn't be space for the tunnel through the center of it. Considering it was meant to give the architecture some down-mass capability, how do parachutes fit in? There's no space available vertically when using the Gemini docking mechanism, so they'd have to be radial ones on the front/top face of the adapter or something.

I only used that reentry RCS part to see what the part would look like extended away a bit. For the reason you said, I don't think actual RCS systems could fit with a tunnel. For parachutes, maybe a version of that adapter with them built in could be something to consider? Also, I forgot to mention...is the offset on the Leo-M-2TT thruster meant to be there? Top one is aligned with gizmos, bottom is just placed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top one is aligned with gizmos, bottom is just placed: Yup! The lateral translation thruster is aligned with the CoM, while the reverse thruster doesn't have to because it's balanced. That's how the real Gemini RCS was set up. EDIT: Forgot to respond to your other question. I could possibly make an adapter with the parachutes, but it would probably be easier to just let the player attach radial ones as needed.

legoclone09 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 HabTech also has a 0.9375m APAS port. Sadly, it's 12 verticies and not 24 so it's ugly. I think he will be fixing it soon, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainradish Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I just want to say that this is the best counterpart to Tantares (and one of my favorite parts packs). I'm sure mod makers don't hear that enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Shutesie Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Ayyyye!!!!!!!111!!1! More Progress on X-20. I present my first remodel of it and it's new windows. I was drawn between whether or not to have curved windows, and I think I'll stick with the straight windows for now, but who knows. I'd like some opinions about my X-20 project and some comments on the windows. I have to go to Chicago this weekend, so I wont be doing any extra modeling till after Monday-Tuesday. Next objective, a start model for the wings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schneemannski Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 i have tried to load the craft files especially of some muo rockets, but i cant load them because the ablator, which is now part of the command pod is missing. Is it possible to edit this craft file manually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phineas Freak Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 @schneemannskisince the "Ablator" is a stock resource i would say that you might have more serious problems than the craft file loading. Did you delete anything from inside the Squad folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
