International construction ISS in Kerbal orbit.

[Netris]

Just to say Nutt give me ATV project.

Here a early dev pic:

Oh great :-D Are you going to make Ariane 5 aswell ?

Oh great :-D Are you going to make Ariane 5 aswell ?

That's why I gave him the ATV project.

[WCOLE360]

ATV looks great! Nutt, planning on finishing Cygnus?

EDIT: I sent bobcat a message with the OP edited to fix all spelling errors.

If it matters also, if anyone wants static solar panels for the FGB, here's an early dev pic of static ones.

Will be a while. Attachment nodes happen to not be my friend!

[Fyrem]

To everyone that has, and IS working on this project,....

Thank you.

[Good_Apollo]

Just posting to give Bobcat and the rest some encouragement. I know you guys are busy with KSP projects and, uh, that whole life thing, but you're doing something that I've been waiting for since I first downloaded 0.15. We've come so far from that version, these historical/realistic mods are what keep me playing KSP for hours. If I had an ounce of talent or experience in CAD I'd do anything I could to help you guys out. I can do research? Aha.

[GrigoreGMD]

Bobcat the buran is yours? i mean u make it? i make the big fuel tank and the bosters of the Challenger And im almost done with the configuration to reali fly it like the real shuttle. i mean without engines in the big tanck , its tricky but i thing i have a solution. i dont want to put that in mi name, if u want i will send u the parts and you posted like yours, just let in the cfg file my name . if u are interesting pls contact me hire . Sorry about my inglish

[WCOLE360]

CFG editing? PDF instructions? We need these. Oh and we need y'all to report bugs so we can fix them! (bobcat's mentioned this a lot)

[XNerd_Bomber]

I thought that the truss system connected to Destiny?

The Z1 was the one that was on Unity.

[WCOLE360]

It's radial so you can switch it.

[Chimer4]

nut how do you attach it in space> do we add an extra docking port to the toip of destiny, or do we just and a docking port to the bootme of the truss and dock it to unity? at the moment ai have it docked to unbity

[Jas0n]

Good job!But the download is missing the plugindata file for the romfarer laser mod.

[Good_Apollo]

There's no Z1 Truss at the moment I suppose so the only thing to do is either send up the S0 Truss attatched to Unity directly or slap a CBM on the S0 Truss. Either way it's not a nice option given the attention to detail for the rest of the parts. If/when Z1 gets finished, the only thing I see working is adding an integral docking node to S0 and a recieving integral docking node to the top of Destiny. I'm not sure how that works but doesn't the LK from Bobcat have an integrated docking node?

The S0 truss isn't attached to Unity. It's attached (in real life) to Destiny with four special connectors. Attaching it directly to Destiny is the correct thing to do. Z1 is on the zenith port of Unity, so leave that space open for future expansion....

[WCOLE360]

z1 is no where near completion. put it on unity and when the time comes you can switch it. won't be easy because Canadarm is attached to the trusses but it's possible.

[spawnofbill]

I can't get anything to dock with CBM's.

[WCOLE360]

They're bugged, pending fix.

That's what I said...

[WCOLE360]

Sent bobcat the static panels.

[BobCat]

CBM to CBM work good?

[WCOLE360]

No, they don't work. I also can't get Buran to PMA to work.

[BobCat]

im chek CBM in this moment.... CBM to CBM work good.

Strange problem...

[WCOLE360]

Check the part.cfg, here's the stock node compared to it.

I know they're pretty much the same but there's something different. Also bobcat, what about buran to PMA.

[Wait- Was That Important?]

Why the Buran? I know that it's a pretty shuttle, but I would point out that if you're trying for historical accuracy then the actual US shuttle would be in order.

Are Launch Vehicles included for the resupply ships as well?

[WCOLE360]

Bobcat made the buran already to fit the ISS Parts. And everything has their own launch system (Soviet Pack), except for the dragon. The ATV is soon to come as well as Cygnus.
