@Dominiquini

check it and found a bug in config

you can make quick fix by your own hands, it`s fast and easy

Open AssetRSS.cfg in notepad ( can be found in - Your KSP folder \ GameData \ AssetMk1 \ Parts \ 2 )

then change AUDIO to AUDIO_MULTI_POOL inside EFFECTS section (case sensitive)

and add transformName = RCSthruster line where it marked on picture

I'll try this, but is not worth a new release for this fix?

Thanks.

Minor issue with the KeR-7 fin, the "black" texture option is actually orange.

@snkiz That`s nice (again), but my 16Gb RAM can`t eat more mods to check it

Update for IRCS and some other mods almost ready, so this config being included

Also one more mini mod approaching to release

Simple, standalone IDSS/IDA style docking ports (not compatible with Habtech)

just need some tweaks for cap and LES tower (that have adjustable in VAB side thrust)

Expand  

When you write "not compatible with Habtech", it does mean, that it won't dock to the APAS ports (which I would expect) or that it is sized completely different? I would guess I would put this on the PMA of Habtech, similar as it is done on the real ISS?!

 

[NESD]

@chris-kerbal   This docking ports is a kerbalized version of IDA/IDSS/APAS docks and compatible with any 1.25 parts

and also include adapter ring for better attach stock Mk1-3 pod to 1.25 parts (behind docking port) you don`t need it with ReStocked cockpit

Will this include parachutes? I've been looking for a replacement for the SDHI docking port that looks good with the ReStocked pod.

[NESD]

@Arrowmaster   Without parachutes, just two docking ports with working alignment petals,

2 droppable aero caps and adjustable launch escape tower

 

 

Parachute planned for ASSET update

Any chance of making a deployable/retractable version of the round aero cap for reusable craft? (just the aero cap so it can be used with other docking ports)

[NESD]

@OrdinaryKerman   Shielded and Mk2 docks planned, but not at this moment

Frontal small cargo bay for docks I see long time ago in one mod

[softweir]

I like these part mods! Nice attention to utility and appearance. Good work!

[NESD]

Hello everyone, in this day 5 years ago I`m registered here and launch my first mod

so now time to do something and celebrate this date

let`s start it with updates

 

KeR-7

Lot of parts for Vostok

Manned and Unmanned control units, fuel tank with radiator, antennas

and fairing with thin base that can be placed between two cones

Also RK-111 (rd-111) engine from R-9 rocket with its own launch pad

This is not R-7 engine, but it more powerful than rd-107 and being planned to use in "Super R-7" (unfortunately not built)

Also upper stage of R-9 later become a prototype of 3rd stage of Voschod and still alive in modern Soyuz

so now you can make your "3 - 5 tonnes to LKO" launcher with only few parts

(or protect your kermunist country from evil capitalists)

 

Restock and Waterfall effects now supported

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some info for those who think about Vostok parts as a

"One shot things that must be forgotten after first historical launch"

Its wrong!   Vostok is a cheap, big, pressurized and returnable platform

that being used as spy/geophoto satellites Zenit/Kosmos until 90s

and as bio laboratory Bion it used even in modern days

 

Internal RCS

Now have small version of standalone OmniThrust modules (left and right)

and support Restock and Waterfall effects

Waterfall support by @snkiz

 

Asset Mk1

Now have parachute with switchable colors of cover and ablator in main part

Parachute have cable attach node moved closer to one side, so you can use it in tight places

 

Waterfall and Restock also here, in rear module

 

And NEW MOD

KDSS docking ports

As I`m show it before, it have kerbalized IDA - IDSS - APAS  Active and Passive docking ports

with working alignment ( so no dock rotation feature),

two caps, with and without small "kick-out" engines and Launch Escape Tower with separate base

so you can attach it to everything. This tower also more powerful and have adjustable side thrust

so you  can use it on heavy pods. And opposite plate for active dock to place it on top of rocket

Passive dock also have detailed target, so you can use it with KURS and other camera mods for realistic docking

 

Both, active and passive docks can be used as primary but for simulation the lack of Soft Collision System on passive side

it can`t align and pull ships together, so you need to do it manually and VERY slowly ( but it`s possible)

 

[nothingSpecial]

Tested Vostok gear and docking ports, they are absolutely smashing!

 

What is the intended cradle use? Inline cover/decoupler?

[NESD]

@nothingSpecial   Its a opposite part for KDSS-A port, if you wish to place it on top of rocket

because petals on docking port can collide with "flat" decoupler and stuck or unpredictable kick parts away

 

and I`m just find small bug in this part, it don`t have fuel crossfeed blocker like all other decouplers

[nothingSpecial]

Also tested R-9 parts, well, that's a beast...

 

 

[Beetlecat]

Spectacular updates! Thank you @NESD!

[NESD]

@nothingSpecial   well, this engine adjusted to have

Thrust-Weight rate near 2.0 in this rocket

with 1.25m ore container as a payload, that closer to real thing,

so with increased amount of fuel, up to TWR 1.3-1.5 at ground,

it can be efficient, low part count launcher

 

[nothingSpecial]

Okay, one more question, is the escape tower meant to be only surface attachable? I mean it isn't that hard to put it in proper place, just a little bit weird.

[NESD]

@nothingSpecial  This tower not a "Standart kerbal size", so it made surface attachable and can be added to any nose cone

attach nodes possibly can be added in update

[Bit Fiddler]

 

I have a request.  can you add the ability to use this red stripe, and other colors, to the tail section, cockpit, streamline engines, etc.  So when building an airplane like this the red stripe can extend the full length.   and for that matter can you make more options for this idea?

 

Also, this cockpit does not have an option for "Crew report", or if it does I cant find it.

might could do that conformal decals?

[NESD]

@Bit Fiddler  This "Cockpit" just a external seat in 1.25m size, It don`t have crew inside, so it can`t run any crew experiments.

Color stripes not decorative, they indicate type of fuel inside

 

P.S.   Bombs with landing legs ?

Edited January 29, 2022 by NESD

[Bit Fiddler]

Not bombs, science probes

 

Could you make the stripes on the other parts just as decorative?   not a big deal I guess, just wanted that stripe to run the full length.

 

 

Oh, and while I am here...  If you install JSI Transparent Pods along side this mod, it seems to have an issue.  Basically the Pilot is rendered on a layer above the craft structure, and thus is visible through the parts.  I did not spend much time looking into this, I just removed JSI, but this might be something that could be fixed.

 

 

@eberkain wow thanks for the conformal decal tip.  While not perfect, it is close.  If I can figure out the custom decals, I may be able to replicate this stripe perfectly.

[NESD]

@Bit Fiddler   Pilot render glitch already was caught in OCs original thread

It mostly caused by various camera and visual mods and also affect stock seat

[Ruedii]

Open Cockpit and Streamline are the best.  Make sure to get their MiniAVC files updated.

[Fabled_Mike]

The asset mk-1 says it has a parachute but I can't find it. can someone help me?
