bananasrawesome Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I forgot you were still working on this. Do you plan on adding all or at least almost all of the real probes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still need a guiding sensor which will be used as a maneuver part, and tidy up geometry. The solar panel dampers are also still missing from around the dish. It folds up well ~cheers Ooph @akron that is looking fantastic. Can't wait to put it on a Bossart-Belle from BDB. Might just remove my Mariner 4 antenna and dish... I don't want to update them haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep at it as long as there is interest in the mod but there's a lot left to do. There's a few missions I'd like to get done before I wanna call the mod "done." After that it'll just be whatever is cool to work on. Sorry it takes me so long to get updates out but family stuff keeps me busy. 12 minutes ago, CobaltWolf said: Ooph @akron that is looking fantastic. Can't wait to put it on a Bossart-Belle from BDB.

Yes, I'm trying to gauge how much dV I should provide on the payload, so that a stack with both our mods is balanced at the 2x-3x scale you recommend. Don't remove your antenna though, the more the merrier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remove your antenna though, the more the merrier! Would be nice if there were more good modders making probe parts. Always felt like an underserved market to me. I really have no idea - they were just flybys, and the payload is really only intended to make 1-3 midcourse corrections to make sure it flies by at the right time, place (ie, so it can photograph the lit side of the planet) and altitude. The actual burn to put it on the flyby trajectory is done by the Agena D. So, maybe not more than 100 dV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual burn to put it on the flyby trajectory is done by the Agena D. So, maybe not more than 100 dV? I actually have yet to figure out tech tree placement. I'll reduce the propellant capacity. There just needs to be enough for the correction plus the rcs. This is not standard scale either. I left it at a realistic size conversion so the size is between 0.625m and 0.9375m. I think the bus diameter is something like 0.72m. It's only going to carry 5-10 units of monoprop. I also realized that since the camera system mounts higher than the lowest part of the bus, placing 2 attachments nodes on each will make it a little more difficult to use. I'd have to see how it goes. Edited May 22, 2018 by akron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's Mariner 3-4; first of the series. This will help me start narrowing down the scale and part composition for the eventual Mariner 8, which forms the base for the Viking orbiter I was able to mess with Coatl and BDB enough to create an interim Mariner analog.

Texture assignment is handled by Firespitter or TU, if installed. It wasn't worth fixing them since it does not make a different in-game. I'll eventually put some time on this. Do let me know if the textures stop working though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to Ground ops, it haven't been released yet and won't be for some time. Only the Space probes are until Akron (Creator of the mod) can make the rovers work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have far too prematurely posted the planned list of lander parts, since I don't even have enough to warrant 2 mods as of yet. I am testing KSP 1.4.4 and on the next patch or update I will go ahead and remove any references to the "Ground Ops" subset of parts to prevent confusion. Until there is a need to separate landing and rover parts onto their own mod, they will be included on ProbesPlus as they have been so far. Please note that this does not affect my planned parts, just how I present them. As I get back to modding steadily, the plan is to alternate releases between an orbital-parts heavy release and a lander-part heavy one. Obviously not mutually exclusive. As it stands, there's a good mix coming next with Mariner and Viking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golkaidakhaana Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Ok, I'm confused. Are rover and lander parts released yet, if not do you have a rough estimate for when? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some lander parts are released: Surveyors, Huygens, and Venera-Vega This release I am working on adds Viking There are no rover parts out yet. I have promised to begin working on them soon, but it will not be this next one as it already includes quite a bit. Beta18 is not 100% confirmed so there's a potential to start on rovers then. As far as timeline, I would like to get Beta17 done by end of Summer, Mariner is being worked on for now. This means rovers could be started after that. Please be patient as work on the mod part-time. I am going to go ahead and the redo my banner post as it is being far too confusing to people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
