Beale Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Looks good!This is perfect! Good job on the N-1.N-1 looks really good!Any hints about balance? Most N-1s are somewhat overpowered for LK+LOK combo, even in stock...Many thanks for the feedback! It's getting there.Balance: Thanks to Niemand, there is estimates (Well, they are more than estimates, probably final balance numbers)This is with the LOK/LK complex.Stage Name & Delta VD/Æ- 1213.086505G/Ó (2.5) - 1294.605808V/Ã’ (2.5-3.75) - 1542.898217B/Ñ (3.75-5) - 1499.874871A/à(5-7.5) - 1450.117833Total is around 7000m/s (after rounding off).So quite capable of Mun missions - maybe a little further if you're careful.How do I say Hercules on Russian?ÑÂøûьýыù óрõú Edited February 17, 2015 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to suprise folks by leaving a couple of alternate Soyuz textures in the next release.Well, I might as well come clean now, there's a Green variant to the Soyuz, I suppose the TKS and such will come along a little bit later.Also, if anyone cooks up their own textures (in .mbm format), please, let me know! I'm more than happy to bundle them in the release. Edited February 17, 2015 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoff123 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I missed those alternate textures! Love your recent work Beale, keep it up!I'm not sure if you are responsible for putting Tantares on CKAN, but would it be possible to also put Tantare LV on there as well? For convenience (or laziness, ha) sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't figure out whether it was a light 'Minmus Green" or a more military green or both, just because those darned Soviets didn't take enough pictures. :/Also, for the 'TMA' black Soyuz, and other modules, do you have any plans to make a fabric texture for some of the alternates that you can change the color of?

(Dark grey/black or off-white?)Thanks!Real showcase models had the "Minmus Green", but I do not like that so much.Real ones, thermal blanket covering: Green in ASTP.The green here is actually taken straight off of the US army jeeps (I think a Korean war one).The Black soyuz, neat idea! I'll try a fabric undercoat and post results shortly... (After work). Edited February 17, 2015 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lazarus Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Beale ... have you ever read your "Soyuz Manual" book? you suggested it to us but it seems you missed soem details. only early Soyuz were green. nowadays they are black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxonius Augustus Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I was able to build a pretty handy little Mun probe using a number of different Tantares parts:http://i.imgur.com/QCc8RHE.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/92s9DC8.pngNice use of the Almach engines!

curtquarquesso Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Those look fantastic!I'd say the reason the fabric looks weird, is because it looks like a denim texture. The thermal blanket on the Soyuz/Progress has a lot of vertical-runing creases, and a good sheen.Good reference image from Cupola: Bonus points is you change the color of the experimental Soyuz CM fabric to a denim-blue, and set it up on a stars-and-stripes background. The 'Murican-built, 'Soyerzzz' must become a reality. It's sooooo close...Mianbao should get a white texture like the Shenzhou, with a bright red communist stripe. I cannot wait for alternate textures. That's honestly got me more hyped than the N-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot wait for alternate textures. That's honestly got me more hyped than the N-1. Yep, it is literally a denim texture applies.The type of fabric seen on a Soyuz is very difficult for me... Ehm, I will continue to see what is possible.I am glad you are hyped! But please, do not expect so many textures at the beginning. Usually I will make these in a "trickle" releasing my alternates (And hopefully others) as time goes on (The texture repo is your place if you want to get in on this!).
