This mod adds stock-alike X-38 parts with compatibility with several popular mods such as Habtech, SOCK, Knes, and others. This vehicle was designed to fulfill the role of an emergency crew return vehicle, supporting 7 kerbals on their journey back home. Huge thanks to @UCTech for their help with producing this mod with me! Image credit: @brickmack This mod will have Waterfall support planned for RCS and engines. The K-38 will be updated regularly, so check back often for updates. Edited March 12, 2023 by Smallant55 Edited topic info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compatible with SOCK, Habtech, Knes and many other popular mods. The main docking area will share the same size as the Habtech2's C-100 docking port if you like using that. 7 hours ago, AmateurAstronaut1969 said: X-38 is one of my favorite spacecraft, I'm extremely happy to see a mod for it finally.

Smallant55 Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) New updates to the TPS and thermal blankets. Open docking hatch can also be seen. Our plan is to also have B9PartSwitch functionality and include several conformal decal options for the player to switch between. We want the vehicle to be completely customizable so we'll include lots of decal options. (Real decals/kerbalized decals/no decals) A similar example would be the decal switching on SOCK Edited March 13, 2023 by Smallant55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallant55 Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) The X-38 CRV was planned to be brought to the ISS in the space shuttle's cargo bay. The X-38 was meant to be brought up during construction of the ISS and serve as a semi-permanent lifeboat for the crew. We're going to try and get the K-38 CRV to be able to be brought up to a station in the SOCK shuttle bay. We also plan on creating an adapter to allow for mounting the K-38 CRV to a launch vehicle for orbital insertion. Here's a picture of the X-38 CRV being brought up to the ISS during construction. Note the shuttle's robotic arm moving the X-38 CRV into position. We are also planning to add a few nodes on the K-38's DPS/Service module to allow for Habtech's grapple fixtures to be able to attach to. New burn/wear marks added to the front nosecone. Also changed the shape of the grey nosecone TPS to be more rounded. Edited March 13, 2023 by Smallant55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallant55 Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Updated the textures to include a “worn” TPS variant. We have also done some work to include a drogue/main parachute bay, and have started work on control surfaces. An early concept IVA is also in the works.

UCTech Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Hey Everyone!!!

On 3/14/2023 at 10:28 AM, Smallant55 said: New alternative variant Having it closer to the above might make it fit in better with BDB, KNES, Tantares etc. But if it is a texture switch option that would still be cool.

We're still working on it. I will admit progress stalled a little bit over the summer, but we're back to working on it. Honestly not a whole lot left to do for this, and we'll try and get it out there in a beta state soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
