"-ski" is a purely American thing; I do not know of any instances of it being used in Russian press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtquarquesso Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) How about it? I'm quite pleased for a 128x128 texture! http://puu.sh/iqcPo/9355aff693.jpghttp://puu.sh/iqcVW/d6711d8cd0.jpghttp://puu.sh/iqcXQ/3296faa7c0.jpgThere's also the "spider web" detail, but given the resolution constraints, not sure!http://puu.sh/iqdqs/862691c287.jpgThanks for the info! A slightly confusing situation, but I'm glad to not be completely wrong constantly calling it PPTS The lack of the chin was what made scrapping of the current PPTS model more attractive, that particular element of the capsule caused quite a few problems when seaking for efficient UV unwrapping, maybe just a lack of skill on my part - but, it made creating the capsule satisfactory quite difficult.That looks fantastic! Is there any way you could make the boom a bit longer? I find that the longer boom gives a bit more design flexibility if you're clipping into things. Also, I think the way the hinge works might be backwards. I think it's supposed to start inline with the engine bell, mounted at the bottom of the SM, and then swing out to expose itself. A thought I've been having now that we're on the topic of antennas. Is there any supporting code in the game to make antennas track like solar panels? I mean, solar panels can track the sun just fine, is there any reason that antenna dishes can't track Kerbin? Or even other targeted objects? I might take this to a dev thread at some points... That'd be a really neat feature.Semi-related, does anyone have any recommendations for a good stockalike 1.875m Apollo orbital engine? I had a scaled-up RLA engine that worked, but that's still broken. The Fuji engine is good scaled up, but it runs on LFO, and the Apollo engine needs to run on hydrazine/monoprop.

Revenant503 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I think you have the greatest authority to help me here, what's the proper naming to use for this design? PPTS, PPTK, Rus-M, Rus or PTK-NP? PPTS was the original Name, PTK-NP was its Official name (after 2010), the Lunar version was called PTK-L According to one reference I sawPTK-NP was a space station transport 6 people for 2 days but I've seen at least one art rendering where it had a Soyuz style orbital module attached (actually that could have been the planned hub for the ISS follow-on and 3rd generation space station concept)That later got split into several variantsPTK-L was the Lunar Station/Moonbase variant - 4 people for 10 daysPTK-M Mars Re-entry landerPTK-Z Earth orbital systemPersonally I'd just call it PTK-NPI could never find a reference for PPTK, I've got a feeling it was something they used transitionally when the project got renamedRUS and Rus_M were a different project for Launch Vehicles with a variable number of common cores so the same hardware could be used for a number of different payload levels from 6 tons to 100 tons - sadly cancelled - And could I put my hand up and ask for that if your feeling like a new TantaresLV member (it was pretty) Edited June 15, 2015 by Revenant503 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HafCoJoe Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 If it's the alpha channel, how does the whole craft not become reflective (Unless you are using a separate "reflectivity" texture)? Sorry, I'm not too familiar with the mechanics of the mod. That's the one!I think you have the greatest authority to help me here, what's the proper naming to use for this design? PPTS, PPTK, Rus-M, Rus or PTK-NP? I've just today remodelled the long backup antenna part.Huge relief to find it hasn't affected my RT networks...But, the changes are minuscule.http://puu.sh/iq5Ou/6800344db1.jpgA smaller version? I can dig it!At the moment, just antennas.Then Vostok, then this PPTS. That's set in stone, no deviations!Boo!Not much to see without a texture, but I think it's a really neat design, the more I look at reference images.http://puu.sh/iq5kM/1f264bbb07.jpghttp://puu.sh/iq5mA/bed27266dc.jpgThe entire surface is reflective. XD. Just not enough to notice. I make the textures have 99% transparency except for the windows which are at a usual level of transparency.

pTrevTrevs Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Got a bug for you. The large Mir panels behave erratically with symmetry. The master panel is fine, but any copies made with symmetry are smaller.The master panel is on the right, and a copy placed with mirror symmetry is on the left. As you can see, the left panel is smaller. I can't rescale the left panel, because the Tweakscale config still refuses to work for me. I was able to get the module ready for launch by placing each panel separately, but it will that will be harder to do when using more than two panels.

I love the 0.9375 versions as I use tweakscale and procedural parts so they fit perfectly and would like to remove the 0.625 versions to save some ram and declutter part lists. Thanks!

Invader_guy Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 since this mod is mostly about Soviet orbital spacecrafts, have you considered making Buran parts?With the MK3 parts the only parts you would need to make would be:-the RCS things on the back-the black thing that contains the parachuteand a slightly different MK3 cockpit.
