BobCat Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 DarthVaderIm make opened texture format , you can change this texture self. How many fairings are there on Ares V? It looks like you have 4. 4, Like IRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekan1k Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I would be more than happy with the blue (not transparent) windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phers Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 There are going to be so menu options for a mobile base with this pack.... Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekan1k Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 will the LEV be more than one piece? The cockpit and the wheels, so that we can build versions of the SEV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobCat Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 will the LEV be more than one piece? The cockpit and the wheels,Pod, Base, and 6 wheels... also maybe back additional energy generator. so that we can build versions of the SEV? I dont think so. LER pod have horizontal orientation. Like DEMV Mk1. Hard to make good SEV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spawnofbill Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'm sorry if I missed this, but is the Altair you're making a single-stage reusable lander as opposed to the two-stage configuration most commonly seen? Cause that would be awesome, I've been dying for a good looking reusable lander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4ti140 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) No problem with non-transparent LER, it's KSP after all. LER wasn't even transparent in 'Moonbase Alpha'.EDIT: Kvant and other Mir modules are not exactly to scale. It can be fixed by setting rescaleFactor on Kvant-1 to 1.1268 and on TKS based modules to 0.9122 - this makes the diameter of docking compartment on TKS based modules the same as the diameter of Kvant-1, which is ~1.048 of Core module diameter, just as IRL.

Mekan1k Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Ideally the windows would be silvered, to reduce heat exchange, but meh. Still awesome! I am drooling for a release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spawnofbill Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) EDIT: Just watched the video and answered my own question, it's a two-stage. Foo. I guess maybe I could do some .cfg edits to turn it into a reusable lander though. What? Single stage double stage... i dont understand. All be work like IRL,.... exept ATHLETE system.Single stage as in one engine, one set of tanks. Most of the mock-ups of the Altair lander show a descent stage and a separate ascent stage. (pictured below) However all those show a vertical cabin, yours has a horizontal cabin that looks more like the much later designs near the cancelation of the Constellation program that use a single stage reusable lander that would stay attached to a lunar orbiting station when not on the surface.

Voidryder Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I would be more than happy with the blue (not transparent) windows.Same here BobCat if it matters. Either way it's a fantastic looking craft. Looking forward to flying her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibb31 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 The vertical cabin lander was the latest Constellation design reference.The horizontal cabin that Bobcat has modelled was from the old ESAS/VSE study from 2004, before Constellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Actually, horizontal cabin was included in early Constellation drafts. And yes, it was a separate ascent stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they didn't redesign it yet again right before cancellation though The constant redesigns were one of the contributing factors to why CxP was cancelled.This pack looks amazing. Hopefully I will get a chance to see the LER/SER and mockup Orion this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
