pTrevTrevs Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Are those two cargo bags all you're going to put in the IVA? Real Soyuz has bags everywhere. The easiest place to see them is hanging down over the crew's heads.Also, It looks like you could fit a third seat in there. Maybe if you moved the outer two forward a little and had the middle one slightly recessed, like it is irl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK3424 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I think the way that they get 3 persons in a Soyuz capsule is due to the way they sit in it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niemand303 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yay, checking the release immediately! Also, that mole from Czechoslovakian cartoon is awesome!

bs1110101 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 3-person, I really would like to. But it really is a question of space. a 3-seat layout like the real Soyuz would not be possible, not enough horizontal width. An extra Kerbal "hanging from the roof" would be possible, though it might look a bit strange...So for the time being, it's a LOK capsule, 2 seater I vote to cram in another kerbal somehow, as well as causing a reason for you to make a Voskhod, though i cant blame you for not making one, as i seem to be the only person who wants one.

Ed Gauss Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hey Beale, the CKAN entry for Tantares is stuck on version 17.0. I downloaded the pack manually, but if you ever find time to fix it I would appreciate it. I've looked at the NetKAN metadata myself and couldn't find anything obvious, but I don't know much about how CKAN works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuky Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 That's great! If I've enabled you to push to further destinations, that makes me very happy What you enabled me is to have a reliable and simple launcher that saved me lots of time on R&D and lots of parts on my craft. For former I thank you, while my PC wants to thank you for the latter.And thanks for v19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK3424 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Hey Beale, i have modified the KIS inventory of the ATV, Progress and Soyuz to be more inline of they are capable of in real life, albeit kerbalized:I have searched for the volume they can transport in real life and applied the Kerbal size vs real life percentage on it (KSP is 64% of real life size):ATV has in real life a storing capacity of 8 racks: ((1 rack= 1.571 m³ X 8)/100)X64 = 8.1Progress has in real life a storing capacity of 6m³: (6m³/100) x64 = 3.9And since both are accessible from the inside, i have allowed the user to open the inventory without having to EVA around the hatch.I also have modified the cfg files of the Soyuz Orbital and Reentry module to have the right volume:Orbital Module: (1m³/100) x 64 = 0.64m³Reentry Module: (1.5m³/100) x 64 = 0.96m³here are the modified cfg files:ATV:https://www.dropbox.com/s/ol7qc1yzq2pn8fp/_Capella_Control_A.cfg?dl=0Progress (Orbital Module):https://www.dropbox.com/s/ki0b2p0truao1oe/_Hamal_Orbital_A.cfg?dl=0Soyuz OM (Tantares_Orbital_A):https://www.dropbox.com/s/ul0h7alahabq39z/part.cfg?dl=0Soyuz RM (Tantares_Crew_A):https://www.dropbox.com/s/g2zky7tjdsq5huw/part.cfg?dl=0 Edited March 30, 2015 by MK3424 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genesis216 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hello, i think you have a great mod but i have a major problem with it. When i put in my game, a lot of parts are missing. i was hoping you would me with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i put in my game, a lot of parts are missing. i was hoping you would me with it.Which parts are missing? If you have all the spacecraft parts but lack the parts for the rockets, you probably don't have Tantares LV installed. Make sure to download that from the front page.

Lucius Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hey, open question:I did a quick and dirty config hack (very dirty, nothing amazing, don't know how to do the textureswaps i'm sure would make it much cleaner)that turns a few salyut, tks, and cygnus parts into Station Science vessels. The cygnus comes in a few different varieties of Station Science experiments (rather than bringing that big ugly tube of experiment up, launch a cygnus directly!)The Salyut's V-C2 and V-C4 (the larger tubes) have doubles that function as Cyclometrons, Labs, etc now. HOWEVER due to their lighter weight and smaller frame they take twice as long to process as the actual station science parts. The SPEKTRE module has a double that functions as a spectrometron (unmanned). Again, less efficient than the Station Science parts.And the TKS TK-0B10B (Larger tube) also has doubles that function as a Cyclometron/Spectrometron/Zoology Bay (No Lab).Again, they're just quick hacks, it makes a bunch of extra copies of the same module with different functions, rather than something you can switch between at a button's click (so it slightly bloats the construction menu more). But to me, it gives a REAL function to having your Mir station up in the sky, as it can actually do work, and you can assemble a large and fairly similar Mir with a real purpose. This combines with the Life Support functionality of some of the other TKS/Salyut parts to be pretty damn fun IMO.If anyone is interested/if its okay with Beale, i can upload the configs and see what people like and take suggestions. Do i need a license if i'm just adding configs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC) No problem! (You don't need to include one).If you want your configs to be protected (I.E. nobody can re-distribute them), you'll have to include one.If you upload them, I'll be pretty happy to link the config on the front page (Like with the craft file links, to a specific post).It sounds nice, I haven't used StationScience in a while, but this could be fun.

I was wondering if maybe an alternate capsule config would be more appropriate. i.e. past a certain tech level the model config changes to crew 3 and swaps to a different IVA (or has a button to change between 2 and 3) similar to how the core/boosters rockets work in TantaresLV.

I can take a look on configs.Hmmm that's a good point, maybe I'll take the extra time to clean them up a little and make them MM style more. Also Niemand, could you point me in the right direction of "how to learn" something?I would have no problem putting in the extra time to make the parts "single modules" with an option in the VAB to change their function, sort of like Multipurpose Colony Modules? I'd like to make it so you can drop in, say, a cygnus module, and then in the VAB press a button to choose whether its delivering Life support or experiments or kibbal or fuel or whatever strikes my fancy. My only problem when i sifted through the coding on MCM was that it seemed a little ... dense, and i wonder if you know a better/simpler way to do it? Maybe via modular/realfuels?

B should be like the real thing? would they fit if the middle seat would be a bit smaller/without the joysticks?Thanks for sketching it out! And welcome I think that layout might be a bit troublesome, though it looks like it could work.The Kerbal heads extend far beyond the top of the seat, so I think they would have their heads clipping.It's worth a try though!The version of the seat without controls, the Kerbals hands are still in the "control" position, so they would still need same amount of room.
