Guest Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 We could pester Yougui for Venera probes (it's right up his alley), and Zenit satellites were very Vostok-like, so it should be possible to just make another spherical capsule fitting Vostok SM for this. Though I agree about Molniya, they and their LV would be really useful. Also, GLOSNASS sats for use with GPS mods out there would be nice, and the L1 spacecraft (it'd only need a dinky nose module and a payload shroud, all the other parts are here already).

dimovski Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 aye, nice that someone agrees with me... I'll try begging mrthebull for the meteor weather sat if I can... Proton for original Ur-500 would be nice too (simply to have a sphere of 20 tons...imagine yourself adding a small engine and fuel tank and then playing bowling...IN SPACE...Im sure Jeb would beg for adding a rover seat on the sphere...)

Kerbal01 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 What about the Briz-M proton upper stage? It'd be quite neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasmic Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 So... does anyone know how to make the Orion capsule survive landing at kerbin? It always hits the ground with ~50 m/s for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimovski Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 What about the Briz-M proton upper stage? It'd be quite neat.Think bobcat said he'll do one... however only the one with the donut tank, not the smaller one without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Compare the parachute cfg for Orion to the one sumghai just released for the SDHI SM. Apparently the modules are in the wrong order or something, or the cut speeds aren't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that needs doing is to reverse the order of the MODULE{parachutes}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briz-M is the one without the doughnut tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbal01 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) I've done tests taking the Orion up to 10,000 km above kerbin, deorbiting so that I'm falling straight Down, managed to hit the atmosphere at 3.7 km/s deployed my chutes at the proper altitude and only came in .2 m/s (5.7 m/s after the main chutes deployed as opposed to 5.5 m/s for a normal decent)faster then in a normal LKO decent.

Kerbal01 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 You know what would make the Pack even better, if you could get with someone who knows the code to make scenarios and get with them to make a save with stuff like a Soyuz ready to be docked to Mir, Buran docking to Mir, Etc.. It would add a new better layer to make this mod even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfluffycat Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 How do you make the Buran arm work? It just doesn't like to work, it always rips apart the cargo and shuttle when I use it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Engage precision controls and don't forget to strut the arm down. And be very careful with it. That's all the advice I can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfluffycat Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 don't forget to strut the arm downah, I never did that before, maybe it will work now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasmic Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hey, Bobcat, there is a way to make the Orion parachutes work without having to cut parachutes. All you need to do is to switch the two MODULE{parachutes} modules out, cut-pasting the second parachute up before the first parachute module.
