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

I am not clear on the new LEM style part. Is that an ASCENT engine block for the crew can? Will one 'side' need to be recessed to fit beneath the lower 'downward looking' window pane to see the surface if making an IVA only landing?

Didn't think of that to be honest, but it would ruin the shape if I recessed a side.

I gave it a quick test flight.

Can make a two stage lander with radial boosters.

It's SO CUTE! :D Getting gold foil to look right in KSP is tough but that brownish texture is a cool stockalike solution.

Also, I can't remember if the Almach is on your to-do list but if you do remake/retexture it at some point it would be cool to include Zenit:

What alternate textures are currently slated for release? Will we get one with white as its primary color, and blue stripes to complement it? I would post a picture to help get my point across, but I'm using a phone right now.

I know the colour scheme you mean. :)

But currently, just green.

Like I've said before, I only can produce them slowly, if people submit their own, they can get bundled with releases.

Tropical Kerbin.

Remember this? It's like it never left for Jool... Conspiracy

Gemini IVA

All prop'd up!

Many thanks to OrionKermin who has been hard at work producing some beautiful props (Including this space-shuttle inspired flight seat) which will be used in both HGR and Tantares - as well as released as a resource for all modders.

You can see my little light and fire extinguisher in there too! :)

Lots of new things since the last time i was here! Can't wait to test them all!

That tropical Kerbin is beautiful! Did you made it?

Thankyou!

The tropical Kerbin is a colour alteration of the water texture from The Renaissance Compilation.

I just make it a little more "tropic". :)

Hope you enjoy!

How long before you begin production of Soyuz and Salyut IVAs?

I don't know really,

I'm quite busy lately, apart from the weekend and some days off work I cannot do so much.

Is that "Tropical Kerbin" texture up for download? I want it! IT'S SO FREAKING COOL LOOKING!!!
I think it's an EVE config. :)

Yup, just switch Kerbin's clouds for Duna's.

There is also a lighter ocean texture:

If only I knew how to create textures for 3D models. I would definitely help out with alternate textures if I could!

You can check the texture repo in my signature: No 3D experience needed, just setup Unity and export MBMs :)

Nice Gemini IVA! One concern though. Where's RPM monitor(s)? :(

I'll be doing that before release.

how's the LEM model? are the faces OK? have you gotten it open in unity?

The smoothing groups don't carry over from Sketchup' date=' so it needs quite a cleanup unfortunately.

I'll take a bit longer than the Fuel tank and engine will the LEM.

You know how it goes with central planning comrade, get in the waiting line and hope to get your product before you die.

~ Beale does the work, you do the pleasure! ~

Salyut IVAs still need to go through another 18 committee meetings, then need to be independently authorized and audited by 6 independent bodies. Only then can I put in the draft proposal to begin modelling them.

I have experienced some... problems... with the N1.

These are on different launch attempts, each connection between stages is reinforced with 8 struts. Meh, at least it's accurate to the real one.:P

This isn't right...

Can you reproduce from the KSC?

Did you clear the launch clamps manually from any previous launches? I know that they don't always recover automatically from the Kosmodrome, so if your N1 spawned on top of them...

I ask because I've lost too many rockets that way :P
