Ravenchant Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hey, I'm gonna do a shameless self-plug and say that my Black Arrow-ish texture for PF is now available here: (among others) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99520841/KSP/Gryphon%20fairings%20v1.2.zipThe interior is on the right, but obviously still WIP.

ste1701 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Big G! Can't wait!What is better than a Salyut station? Two Salyuts docked together!Something i've been working on:3m habitat, textures are still slowly work in progressWouldn't have been possible without your tutorials! Thanks Beale!

Thanks Beale!Nice Salyuts! Looks somehow like that Salyut-7 from Eyes Turned Skywards! Also, I've been asked for the Buran-Energia file... Here it is! Yeah, this one is kinda cheaty with its reaction wheels inside the cargo bay and poor-made Mainsail placement (I was kinda lazy to fix that).Download@Dropbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beale Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) This may be a common question, but is there a reason why Tantares does not use Raster's? Too much work needed to do, doesn't fit the feel? I know this is probably a common question asked of you.Thanks!Your question: It should use RPM, if you have it installed. The IVAs will auto switch to the screens.My first Tantares missions in KSP 1.0.3/1.0.4 were Mir-2 and Buran on Energia and a MZhM-1 block on Zenith...Wow, post #888!http://cs628424.vk.me/v628424511/704b/WMtaAcpYQzY.jpg Mir-2 Core Block Departure http://cs628424.vk.me/v628424511/7055/IHxKZaD3WUA.jpgAnd deployedhttp://cs628424.vk.me/v628424511/705f/UChwznnkMvw.jpgBuran leaves the launchpad....http://cs628424.vk.me/v628424511/7069/TDBynfbyx0U.jpg....And meets the stationhttp://cs628424.vk.me/v628424511/710e/Bbi6x-1XE_E.jpgmore mods means more beauty!http://cs628424.vk.me/v628424511/7118/Ml7ZbIDegMw.jpgMZhM on its way to the stationhttp://cs628424.vk.me/v628424511/7122/D2hb75Z5edQ.jpgMoving out of the module's way, Buran redocks to the new module's APAS!Wow!That's a cool Mir-2, you must share this!The Buran as before is a beauty! The new Energia design is good also.I know he has Scatterer, he might (?) have planetshine, although I don't know what the cloud mod is. EVE?- - - Updated - - -Just finished CLS Configs for Tantares! Download Link in signature!Edit:Oops....forgot a readme in the download....but I think you can figure it out!Very nice! Many thanks for doing this! Just going to throw a couple of random, but apropos, thoughts out onto the table: The vostok redux looks absolutely amazing. The existing vostok is really the only thing in the tantares pack that I didn't really like, and it was mostly due to the decoupler for the capsule. The prototype screenshots youve posted look incredible and I can't wait to try them out. The "big-g", is one of only three things I'm missing to release a "nasa total conversion" equivalent to my "soviet space program total conversion" mod. The other two are a two-bell 2.5m engine to use as a titan II , and the third is something to use as the "Langley" lunar lander, a light 1-man lander that was designed as a possible companion to a lunar gemini mission. If the big-g is released, a two-bell engine can be made without looking too horrible from stock parts or added to tantaresLV, and I can find a good way to make the langley out of the command-chair and have it fit in the tantares TKS 1.875m cargo bay (so far, it's been incredibly difficult), I'll be able to get that nasa total conversion released and have it ONLY depend on tantares/tantaresLV and omsk (for the redstone and early atlas) instead of needing to pull in fasa. I guess what I'm getting at is - a huge enormous "thank you" , as your incredible talent and work on this mod not only stands out in it's own right, but it enables others in the community to release related projects. Again - the highest of fives.I'll absolutely be doing a Titan II at some point, but your ideas could work fine.And, thanks! Thanks for all your work Beale, the Big-G and Vostock are beautiful.Thank you Beale, your new work always surprises with a new tangent and new possibilities(I hadn't thought of using gemini for anything but your big G gives me ideas)Many thanks!

(I'm asking because I haven't still tested the new temperature system)Yup, I think 100%Copied from the stock radiator configs, I think this is all that is required: emissiveConstant = 0.90heatConductivity = 0.75 thermalMassModifier = 5radiatorHeadroom = 0.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djmellomaniac Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 i have noticed something with only one of the ships i have been using at the moment it seems like the Minotaur made by curt parts like to over heat for no reason while in orbit i dont know if its just that ship or if its other ships or if its just being caused by the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curtquarquesso Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Wow @Beale, you've been quite busy! With the new radiator textures, will you give the monopropellant tanks radiator functionality? EDIT: Nevermind. You answered the question already. On the technical side, did you map the radiator surface to the stock radiator texture, or did you copy the texture to your own textures?@Djmellomaniac, I likely have to reattach parts to update them. I'll try to get it done ASAP. Edited June 25, 2015 by curtquarquesso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the technical side, did you map the radiator surface to the stock radiator texture, or did you copy the texture to your own textures?Will the monopropellant tanks/radiators eventually get their own textured instead of having to borrow stock ones?Thanks!To answer both your questions on textures, I'm using my own textures here, with the stock textures as reference (so no dependencies, etc).Actually it differs from stock, which uses normal maps (Which is kind of pointless for their appearance IMHO)You can (arguably) get comparable results to a bump map with the specular map alone.Oh, new stuff! Sweet! Beale, if you made a side project making KK launch sites for the various rockets you made, I'd probably cry with happiness.Thanks!The KK stuff, I'm still figuring out what is needed for a (modest) launch facility - as well as where on Kerbin would be best to place it.Baseline:VABLaunchpadCommunication (Concrete block with radio tower)(Generic) Housing(Generic) Lights, Boxes, Building greeble.(Generic) Bunker / Controls building, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pTrevTrevs Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 If you're going to make KK launch sites, I've always thought it would be cool to have alternate pads as KSC. Maybe one like Antares's pad at Wallops, and a Titan II inspired pad with a large erector tower, and some other ones too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just expand a lot onto the KSC with a whole bunch of towers themed as the rockets you've made's pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
