DennyTX Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Ages ago there was a Space Race. Despite soviets lost, their rocket was very interesting and odd looking device.Here it is.Javascript is disabled. View full albumhard to assemble, hard to fly. (but craft file enclosed)5 stages , 44 engines (5 types) and huge fairingPS1: N-1 just means "NOSITEL nomer Odin" (carrier number one)PS2: current version is without LOK and LK. Only rocket stuff.Download from CURSEDownload from MEDIAFIRE Edited June 10, 2014 by DennyTX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lazarus Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 just wow ... sadly no tiem to test it now, but it's on the top of my list for tomorrow, right after the Saturn V update. can't wait to fly this beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mecripp Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Best looking N-1, I seen so far, Good Job Denny even if it's record isn't good still looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) OK, the rocket looks good so far. But I've got a few nitpicks. First, read this page:http://www.starbase1.co.uk/pages/n1-variants.htmlYour rocket looks like N1-5L, but you might want to make other variants, too. Whichever you make, look closely at how it's painted. N1 paint scheme is very distinctive and asymmetrical, only the N1-7L is plain white, but other details differ. They're all dark gray/bright white, with no other colors visible on the surface.Your escape tower has no separation motors. Again, this is pretty important for such a huge rocket. BobCat's N1 had them (he was initially opposed, too, but later we found it to be the best solution to LES decoupling problems it had). They're modeled, so making them functional is just Unity work.Also, IMO, the lower shroud should be actual parts, not an autoshroud. The reason? Those sticking-out bits with holes you modeled are separation motors. Yes, it was actually so massive it needed separation rockets for it's interstage shroud. That would've looked really cool if it actually got to the first staging event...L3 complex is wobbly. This was a problem with BobCat's N1, too. Every major connection of the L3 complex should use size 3 nodes. Also, avoid attaching things to engines. It'd be better to have engines with only a single node, and tanks with an additional node for mounting the decoupler. That would stiffen the stack and make the rocket more rigid as a whole.Also, increase stage heat tolerance and decrease heat production on engines. Currently, if you try to hot-stage the N1, it ends up blowing the lower stage up. Engines also notoriously overheat.Oh, and the RCS nozzles on Block D are 45 degrees off axis, too, dunno why. The same with Block G. They should also be jettisonable, along with their hydrazine tanks. Lastly, Block D shroud seems to be a single piece on N1, too. It can be an autoshroud, but it probably shouldn't be split like it is now.Overall, it's a solid start, needs some work, but the basic structure works great.

Guest Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 OK, found more bugs. This time mostly minor visual stuff.1. Grid fins are opaque from below (from above they're fine).2. RCS has only a single "puff" per nozzle. Each nozzle needs it's own RCS transform.3. Pipes from the engines clip into the lower shroud when matched up with pipes on the 1st stage base.4. Engines on N-1 were NK-15 and NK-15V, NK-21 and NK-19, in that order. NK-33, NK-43 and NK-31 were developed, but never actually flown on N1. NK-9 was proposed for N1 ICBM ancestor, the Globalna Raketa (Global Rocket), for first stage, but was never developed. Also note, if you're making N1F (and interesting idea, though details on the LV are sketchy, despite the fact it was near-ready), NK-39 was the proposed replacement for NK-21. NK-31 would be used in Block G, instead of NK-19. Anyway, no matter how you slice it, some engine renaming is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasmic Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hi would it be possible to get an alternative download link please as I refuse to use curseSince it looks like most modders are shifting to Curse, maybe you should just get over it and use it anyway? It's not like they force you to use the curse client or anything. Actually, if you tried to take a look at the Curse Spaceport, it actually looks like it's a better system than the old spaceport.And to you, Denny, all I can say is bravo. It looks amazing!

Guest Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Curse has been known to spread malware via it's ads. Dunno if it's been fixed, but I'm blocking all the ads so it doesn't matter for me anyway. Anyway, I'm not a Curse supporter, I prefer uploading mods to Mediafire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N-1 looks great denny keep up the good work, and if i have to i will use curse to download because I cant live without that Sat V and LEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwlue Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 @_@ Darn you Denny! (Just kidding)But the fact is ur releasing this beuaty during my most busy period hence the above!

frizzank Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 So the real question here is who's is bigger? S-V or N-1, I'm going to need a launch pad comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 If everything's properly scaled, S-V should be taller, and N-1 bigger at the base. I'll try to rig up a pad comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see why you wouldn't use it, but so be it. And yes, I agree that Denny is quite a helpful guy. A mirror link is always a good idea. And I will also echo everybody else here and say that the N1 looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bird19 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 as i know, N-1 was one of the family N-11n(middle rocket) and N-111 (light rocket, for SOYUZ spacecraft orbital missions). will it be added too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
