[1.12.X] Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR [16.1][28.05.2024][Mars Expedition WIP]

Thanks :)

And no, unfortunately not as the size adapters are built in. :(

I am considering releasing an alternate TKS mid-section, which would take up the full length rather than two parts and seat maybe 3-4 Kerbals.

Also there will be some basic adapters between the 1.875m parts and the stock part sizes.

Cool, cool. I just figured you could hit two birds with one stone, you know? But whatever works best for you, of course.

those Almaz parts are look'in good!

also, is that a new omnidirectional antenna I see there (on the 2m part

)? or is it from remotetech 2? because I have no idea.

also, also, I'm guessing that the launch vehicle you used has the 2m 2-engined liquid fueled booster as its main propulsion? I find those to be extremely overpowered.

I'd say, it's looking really good. Except perhaps the rotating panels, I think I'd prefer fixed ones, they seem more fitting here. Are the antennae new, or from RT?

Hi! :)

To answer you both, the new omni antenna is mine.

It currently has a whopping 10Mm range, but that should be changed.

I'm looking into fixed panels :) Hopefully.

@gooddog15, the launch vehicle is infact a SLS engine with infinite fuel and a decoupler. Nothing too fancy :wink:

Hey Beale,

I was wondering if you, or someone else, could add a heatshield to the TKS descent module? The problem is when you stick a heatshield underneath it, it has this curved gap that really spoils the looks of the craft:

I really want to use this module for a lot of ships, but this just doesn't look good.

Hi! :)

The VA is supposed to have a built in one.

But as Kirondoll mentioned, it seems to have been forgotten in the current release. I'll put it up when I can.

If you just add this to your deadly re-entry config, it will work. Heat protection without the extra part.

Hope this helps! :)

@PART[Alnair_Crew_A]:NEEDS[DeadlyReentry]
{
@maxTemp = 1700
MODULE
{
name = ModuleHeatShield
direction = 0, -1, 0
reflective = 0.05
ablative = AblativeShielding
loss
{
key = 650 0 0 0
key = 1000 64 0 0
key = 3000 80 0 0
}
dissipation
{
key = 300 0 0 0
key = 500 180 0 0
}
}
RESOURCE
{
name = AblativeShielding
amount = 250
maxAmount = 250
}
}

On a side note, I'm sure I saw some stand-alone heat-shields with automatic fairings? Maybe not

Cool man, thanks! I'll add it in. Do you remember where you saw the stand along automatic fairing heat shields?

I think earlier in this very thread, by the person who was using a rescaled to 2.5m Tantares. Sorry I cannot remember any more specifically :( I'll have a quick look (Amazed it's now up to 76 pages!).

Some RCS Bubbles.

Just like the real thing!

Tiny balls of MonoPropellant, 30L each! (too OP?)

Anyone up for a match of Kerball?

yay! when/if its released I could use that for a space probe as a "magnetometer"

cool. you could turn that into a ssto by putting on a orange tank on top of the engine. I use that for most of my launches and fireworks displays

What're you gonna do after refurbishment? Maybe some aircraft http://www.boeing.com/assets/images/companyoffices/gallery/images/commercial/dc8-05.jpg

Ayyy lmao...

Eeee...I like aircraft, but after my last attempt at making a wing part, I've been put off for life.

I could never get the orientation right to produce lift.

So, I have no answer, as to what I am doing after refurbs.

May I suggest TMK-MAVR (Soviet Mars\Venus fly-by ship): http://www.astronautix.com/craft/tmk1.htm

This is interesting stuff! Maybe...

I love the design! Nice to see it all in use :)

Has anyone created a set of realfuel configs for the tantares?

Just checking...

thanks.

Not to my knowledge, I'll have a look for the next release

Vostok, Voschod ...

Plerase

... 1,25m spaceplane cockpit?

:)

I'm working on almost the exact opposite of a spaceplane cockpit, the very un-aerodynamic LK capsule! :)

About Vostok... I'm not really interested at the moment. It really was a very basic spacecraft (or as "basic" as manned spacecraft get at least), so there's not really a lot of interesting stuff going on there for me.

Still, there's always the future...

It maybe unaerodynamic, but it looks realistic.

Recent RealChutes mod has a MM patch for Tantares chutes.

And it produces a weird bug - chute direction is in the same direction as the motion(when going up - the chute cupola's pointed up, and when going down - the chute cupola's pointed down).

Proly, there's some issue in tantares chute model. For, when I change RealChutes config to this:


MODULE
{
name = ProceduralChute
textureLibrary = StockReplacement
currentCanopies = Main chute
}

instead of this


MODULE
{
name = ProceduralChute
}

, it works like a charm.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention :)

It's probably to do with my screwy model orientation on the Tantares' chute model.

I'll see what can be done

Haha! That's brilliant!

Surprised it can be made so well, nice :)
