Soyuz - WIP

[caeppersi]

My first try at an addon. Almost ready to begin texturing and should be finished in a few days.

Will include 3 different payloads (ISS Transport, ISS Manned and Commercial)

*Update 13.09*

Download a first test version here: http://www./?isskxa16oaiju6k

Only one payload option (which is just a fuel tank atm), some parts don't look how they should yet, textures are not that nice for now and a capsule decoupler is missing. Also values for fuel, thrust etc. not yet determined.

Build Instructions:

Nose->

Capsule->

payload module->

stage 3 fuel->

stage 3 engine->

stage 3 decoupler->

main fuel -> attach booster decouplers with 4x symetry on the main fuel tank where there is a dark spot on the texture.->

attach the boosters to the booster decouplers

struts on the lower end of the boosters are recommended

sweeet! - this is gonna be awesome! ;D

what's the diameter on those parts, if you don't mind me asking? - does it match that of other existing bits?

Judging by the command pod, the entire rocket up to the engines is probably 1m.

Yep.

Great work!

so sick. I will download once my pc is set up this afternoon

[lefayad1991]

would it be possible for you to give us what you have so far? i would really like to start testing this bad boy out

please and thank you

[millsw]

+1 on releasing it in beta so we can help you fine tune it!

[millsw]

Bump. I want it bad.

[caeppersi]

OK, made some progress but a few more things need to be done. I'll definitely release a first version tomorrow though.

Kewl. Now we need a Soyuz spacecraft. The propulsion module can be a fuel tank with an engine on the bottom, the reentry module will just be a command pod with attach points on the top and bottom, and the orbital module can be a SAS module!

Without solar panels?

Forgot about that! Well, until animations are added, that's a bit tricky.

[Kryten]

It could just be one the earlier models, with battery power.

[your mom]

this looks cool i want it

That's what I was thinking, maybe I'll try a hand at modeling it.

bump

[venku122]

This plus the Saturn v and the n1 will make for an awesome rocket combination 8)

[lefayad1991]

can we please get the beta version now

[caeppersi]

First post updated with a download

Re: The actual craft, I know someone showed a WIP yesterday, hopefully they'll match up.

[lefayad1991]

wow...it's great mate, the only complaint i would have is that the boosters need to be a little more powerful...maybe you can increase the thrust on them from 80 to 100 on each. also the main engine should be slightly more powerful imo, but besides that its great

EDIT:

disregard the second thing, but the boosters should be a little stronger

[Andras]

I can't get the side boosters to attach to the main tank.

Downloading now!

Wait, when you say ISS transport, are you talking about the Soyuz spacecraft? Because I'm working on one, and I don't want to steal your thunder.
