A lot of experimentation, but personally it made building the craft a little bit more difficult. Closer!

Is there a beta of the wrap-fold panels by chance? Would LOVE to check them out, even if assembly was a bit more tricky. Also - awesome salyut/mir progress.

DMSP Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I just want to say this mod is amazing. I love it. Just so you know, it's even inspired me to write a Mission report/AAR. Thank you for this mod! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeeb Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I would also love to see the wrap-around panels...separate download/alternate file in the download?? :3 Edited December 20, 2015 by MrMeeb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pTrevTrevs Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 It may be a little late to ask this, since you said Salyut is almost done, but would you consider making a version of the Salyut solar panels with the extra extensions that Salyut 7 had? You know, these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny88 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 So I'm having a few little texture errors on the latest Tantares pack. Two solar panels, the engine and the fuel tank for the Polaris module are all buggy. Here's an example of how they look. http://i.imgur.com/Dq6tpfW.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASMIR Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 So any androgynous port can dock with any other port( passive or probing)? Also, are these ports dock-able with the CONTARES ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, these things. Sure I'll consider it! Problem: those panels were attached post-launch by EVA, no? I'm not sure how they would fold and stow away.

The androgynous ports are only able to dock with each other. As for Contares, I believe so in general, but not sure for every port. 14 hours ago, Danny88 said: Oh! Thank for the info!

pTrevTrevs Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I think maybe for the extension panels, you could have a two stage animation cycle. The first stage (regular configuration, like Salyut 6) could be activated remotely, while the second stage (the extensions themselves) could only be activated manually by a Kerbal on EVA. Not sure whether this is possible or not, I've only had a very basic education in coding, and I'm not really sure how the animation could work, with the regular panels deployed and the extensions retracted, but if you could figure out how to do these things, imagine how cool it would be! Alternatively, you could maybe try and do something with KIS to allow Kerbals on EVA to attach the extensions to the regular solar panels, but that also has its own problems. I guess you would have to give the solar panels their own collision mesh, and then figure out how to allow the whole set to track the sun... I see why this hasn't been done already.

I think just maybe a fancy-folding-regime is the best way to go, if not totally accurate. Because I do not want such dependencies on external plugins. TANTARES 32 At long last, the Salyut art pass is done! (Apart from that pesky old Priroda dish). Please let me know if you run into any bugs! Included also is a alternate green scheme for Salyut. This update should not break any saves! On Fuji It will still have some blurry parts. I wanted to get the Salyut parts out there without waiting to finish Fuji. Best regards and Merry Christmas!

Redhornet919 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) When you redo the TAC-LS cfg any chance you could create a USI-LS cfg.???? I know quite a few people who use it and your mod combined but the textures are very different and the ATV, cygnus, etc. are pretty much useless...

I was thinking about switching to USI-LS, but I'm not sure which are the favourites. USI-LS seems very similar to snacks (Which, I should really remove the MM patch for). TAC-LS is the real deal, but hard to configure for myself. 10 hours ago, gooddog15 said: NASA's budget increase, Space X's landing, and Tantares getting a new release within 4 days of each other...
