[golkaidakhaana]

@Drakenex Erm, I don't mean to be a nagging expletive, but could you please update the download to include the fix?

The fix is actually a texture update in BDB itself, not the Colors mod so @CobaltWolf will need to include it in the next BDB release, which could be some time yet.

Huh, interesting.

Yeah, weird B9 behavior, but not one of my files sorry!

@Drakenex Any chance of getting some recolors of the Soyuz Window piece from the Q Orbital Systems mod? It would be awesome to be able to use it with the new colors for Soyuz.

 

[fgjordy]

any chance we would see Contares in colors?

[oniontrain]

Can I request a matching green paintjob for the R7 parts? Since the Russian launchers and spacecraft are all confusingly named after each other, I'm referring to the Soyuz rocket itself based off the ICBM colors

@Drakenex,

Could you imagine reviving tantares now in colours? Beale requested it as feature complete, so there won't be big changes anymore.

Would it be possible to make ISS-like textures for FGB and MIR parts to make them look a bit more like Zarya and Zvezda? I was surprised to see that Zarya IRL is mostly that tan/cream color rather than being mostly white.

[Cheesecake]

Is it possible to make the Gemini-textures (USAF blue, Army green, rescue) for the Leo-M-3CMEM "Giotto" (Gemini_Crew_C)?

[Drakenex]

@Cheesecake@sslaptnhablhat@TheAceOfHearts@oniontrain Sorry if I forgot someone.

For starting again with this I'll need the following:

• Real spacecraft name
• Historic variations of said spacecraft
• craft file if possible
• reference materials with details

Please include BDB as well.

 

Big thanks!

I don't know if Beale ended up adding normal maps or not, but if he did, could you have another look at adding Nertea-style thermal blankets to Mir/ISS modules? 

[Friznit]

The new (newish) BDB Apollo docking port nose adapter thingy could use a matching texture to the rest.

yes and yes, but I'll need you to comply with the point noted above please.

Yup that's planned, but I've lost all my files so I'll have to start from scratch.

For tantares it would be nice to see the 7K texture for Soyuz, and maybe the taxi variant as well. Maybe get rid of the LK-700 texture on the va, just because the LK-700 already exists elsewhere in tantares.

Thanks @Drakenex!

Zarya doesn't really have variations since it was just one module made of FGB parts. I don't have a craft file at the moment, but I think it's just FGB parts and the neck and node from the MIR core module. Photos in the below spoiler.

Zvezda is pretty much in the same spot, being a repurposed MIR core module.

Really glad to see this back in development now that Tantares is feature-complete!

Dunno what exactly you need @Drakenex, but here is some useful stuff: 

http://www.astronautix.com/s/soyuz.html - all Soyuz variants

http://www.russianspaceweb.com/soyuz-7k-ok.html 

http://www.astronautix.com/r/r-7.html - launcher

https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_lau_fam/r-7.htm - launcher

https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-russian-soyuz-spacecraft-on-display-at-the-national-space-centre-leicester-34465202.html - these are some high res photos of a blue soyuz variant, I think soyuz-11

https://github.com/friznit/Unofficial-Tantares-Wiki - craft files

buran.ru also has a lot of highres photos

This is a nice pic of all the Soyuz R7 color schemes, allthough these are diecast models from some ebay page, they look authentic

Soooooo Shiny!

[Cheesecake]

Super Job. I like the shiny Atlas very much.

Is it possible to make the alternate paint schemes (Chrayol, SM-65, Midas 2) for the TU-Version too?

If I am correct, I don't think properly. You could have the texture switch, but the painted bits on the rocket would also be shiny, when they should be matte.

[GJdude]

Just to be certain, is this latest version only for the bdb dev build, given it applies to the new agena?
