I can finally do my Gemini stock-alike missions with a titan 2!

I thought you said you were making IVAs for this puppy. (Or at least are you adding the old one?)

I just think IVAs add to the immersion factor.

 

NVM. Glad to see this puppy being remade

Nice!

[VenomousRequiem]

Are you not releasing this with BDB?

 

Also, for those who don't know of it, you should really check out BDB.

Includes a very spiffy 1.875m Titan II for this spiffy Gemini!

 

Update: 

Obviously I didn't read any of the OP, because this is all mentioned. Ignore me.

Great job Beale!

[akron]

So cool! 

[Gristle]

Is this different than the parts in Tantares?

The tantares one is scaled differently , the capsule is 1.875 and the service module is 2.5 which means that the old one cant be mounted on a titan rocket , also this one looks cleaner

EDIT : also the parachute is now a indivdual part and not part of the rcs module..

Awesome! @Beale pretty pretty please add the indexing key to the wishlist? Otherwise I can do it in Unity I suppose.

I said NVM.

Still if you just make it for the two man capsule, I'd be ELATED, but the Big-G would be JUST AS AWESOME!!!!

Any plans for making Realism Overhaul configs? Would love that!

It's just a little yellow stick that flips up to ride in the slot in the Agena docking cone, to guide mating surfaces together. I'd like to have it like FASA's, where you can actually extend it and use it to guide the docking nose in to the cone.

[legoclone09]

Maybe we can include a Tantares ATV in this, that would be very cool. Although BDB already has one it wouldn't hurt to make one for this, the more the better!

I don't have a full ATV yet. I'm waiting for this to get finished so I can make sure all the models and textures play nice. Of course, I wouldn't be opposed to BDB's ATV being included in this.

Looks nIce!

How about this? The size is correct, texture is 64x64.

I don't think so in the present time

Looks great! There wasn't 64 pixels to spare somewhere in the main texture? I think the only thing would be to move it forward a touch. Would it extend?

How do I download TRAILS?

Many times over  

Just a habit of mine to spin off very small parts into separate textures.

For placement, the slop angle on the nose part is 82 degree, with just one tick of the VAB Shift+WASD, it will be facing upright... almost (87 degrees, not 90).

It could extend... not too difficult.

I've added a download link to the first post

The parts are still a work in progress, but should be okay-balanced.

 

@officialmugi I think I can do that  If it is just copying real life specs.

Why a separate part? If you're using the docking nose cone I'd assume you'd want to, y'know dock with it. My thinking was to just have it be a generic animated mesh+collider in the nose part, that way the Agena passive docking port would be modeled to use that exact placement of the indexing key.

Mmmm, I'm not sure. I need some IRL photos of the thing to do it that way. The best I could find was 9 pixels by 40

Didn't find photos but I found a page with a ton of other good stuff.

Excellent, looks like the design is very similar too!

I can work with this.

Now, the current part, it can be re-purposed as an antenna, or something.
