Eisenhower Astronautics: Angara A5+ and A5++ (A5+ has RD-191V for 2nd core stage instead of RD-124 and A5++ is like A5+ but with core first stage stretch and CASTOR 2 SRBs) SOCKS: US Style "Moonraker upgrade" Shuttle fleet, including Enterprise, Columbia, Discovery, Endeavor, Explorer, Independence... and well MANY more :D. All shuttles have upgrades structures and launch on an All Liquid launch (two LRBs based on Titan V LDC with STBE engines above from BDB and RMM) Alternatively the USS Enterprise is flown on the Tantares Energia (as described below) Kerbolrise: KR1 and KR2 family of Shuttles are used in conjunction with Tantares Energia that is stretched with the aft RD0120s cambered to center up COT with COM Tantares: Given I have been unable to orbit anything except Energia in JNSQ play-through Energia is the only LV from Tantares I use..... Shuttles quickly took a back seat to Transtage and other stowable fuel tugs given my PEBKAC issues with robotics. But I will be still using them for supply runs.

And how are you putting the craft in orbit? Do you use alt f12 to place the station in orbit or have you built it in orbit? Also are you using KJR and if so which version of KJR are you using?

Shuttles quickly took a back seat to Transtage and other stowable fuel tugs given my PEBKAC issues with robotics. But I will be still using them for supply runs. Yes, I understand what your plan is. In theory, the usual Angara A5 should be sufficient for the construction of the ISS. I don't like using the shuttle either. This is authentic, but requires the use of manipulators (and for the KSP, unfortunately , there are no manipulators that could be called "easy to use") Аnd it takes a very long time. My ISS is, in fact, just a target point for replica spacecraft such as ATV. I enjoy working on them (and launch vehicles for them) much more than the ISS itself. As for the size of the parts - everything you need can be changed through the config file))) Edited June 7, 2021 by Cochies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I alternate between the two personally. I have had so many problems with KJR and KJR continued that I don't use them any more. Autostrut may take a bit of work (since you have to open every context menu on every part) but it works as well other than the time sink in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeaKaka Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) @benjee10 would you consider adding the International Docking Adapter or IDA? Images in spoiler: Spoiler It would just slot on to the front of the APAS on the PMA. There would also need to be a passive and an active variant.

Not sure, but from the looks it is very much what is named APASv2 (C-100 androgynous docking) in the newest version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APAS and IDS/IDA are subtly different, most obviously the 'skeletal' guide fins in the passive IDA compared to the solid APAS fins. Active IDS and APAS are very similar and difficult to distinguish though. I think Dylan is working on IDA as DJ said, not sure what his approach will be as to whether they're compatible with standard APAS ports or not.

chris-kerbal Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 @benjee10 Just a small thing I found in the APASv2 model: It has this black dot on the side, which is very helpful in docking to properly turn the adapters. However if you remove the sensors from the ring, there will be a dot on the other side as well. Which then makes it hard to find the right orientation. Not sure if that is the same in the real world original, but maybe it could be removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSS_Snag Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Im getting a issue with part variants on KSP 1.10.1 I Cannot right click on the part and no part variants appear. I am using the latest b9 part switch. Plus getting exception: Null Reference Exeption. Object instance not set to an instance of an object when i try to place the radiators. KSP.log Problem fixed was using the latest version of the mod, downgraded to the previous mod so that it works for 1.10.1 Edited June 24, 2021 by Aussie Toad Stool Fixed the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
