StickyScissors Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) I love and depend on this mod for lots of craft, but the frequent "craft breaking" updates/revamps and especially just completely removing parts are starting to destroy things to the point of having to revert to old versions and remove the parts from the vessel, or just start fresh :/ Edited January 1, 2016 by StickyScissors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the work on Tantares but Taerobee isn't fleshed out much, and hasn't seen an update in a few months. If you need some inspiration, maybe something not seen much, like Robert Goddard's liquid fuelled rocket. I can't just pick up another mod and start developing it. I have to enjoy it first, inspiration! 2 hours ago, StickyScissors said: I love and depend on this mod for lots of craft, but the frequent "craft breaking" updates/revamps and especially just completely removing parts are starting to destroy things to the point of having to revert to old versions and remove the parts from the vessel, or just start fresh :/ I'm not sure what to say, the last few versions have not been very damaging, revamps have been of the same dimensions to prevent save-breaking. Even more, the changelog & readme always clearly is listing save-breaking changes, if you don't read them I cannot help. Parts have to be changed, resized and dropped from occasion to occasion, otherwise it will just bloat out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacsky33 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hi Beale, happy new year, i know you have a lot to do, but did you plan to make parts for Venera orbiter ? btw ur luna probe is lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratocracy Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 thanks, and just so you know, I checked in a fresh install with no other mods to make sure it was just a tantares issue, and yeah, the dishes still wont deploy in the VAB/SPH or in flight. Great mod, I recommend it to anyone I know who plays ksp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of Veneras and they're all somewhat different. Personally I would like all of them haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjsnh Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) You can make a convincing venera probe with stock parts, and by using the 1x2 Tantares solar panels. Tantares already has the lander parts. Edited January 3, 2016 by tjsnh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtedastro Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have been away for a bit, and wow, this looks great. where can i find a set of "craft" files to get a look at and to use as a starting point.???? Again, great work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTmikhail Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Happy New Year Beale! Keep up the great work and do what you want to do buddy! I made a video for you in the Taerobee forum, but I'll share it here too since I think the members might enjoy it and/or get some inspiration. Looking forward to everything you do in the future!

hraban Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hello Beale, Hello OTRAG friends I've even allowed a typical application bundle of OTRAG launcher to build. The drive bundle consists of 12 tanks with a length of 24m (For Tantares / Contares corresponds to 12m). Driven by 12 engines burn which nitric acid and kerosene. Due to the conical nozzle of the pulse is quite poor. There is no trust information but you can calculate. I come to ISP 200 on the ground and max ISP 240 in a vacuum. The minimum of 12 is usend to become a minimum diameter of 0.625m. Once that is completed finetunig there will be the bundle as a separate download. Maybe I'm doing on a separate thread.

With the Docking Ports on the sides of the Airlock the collider of the Habitat is blocked. The only way to transfer Kerbals is to reach the collider of the Habitat. Remove the Docking Ports and it works. With Version 1.6.1 the inflatable Habitat and Lab will be reworked and the inflatable Section has a own collider also comes Habitat and Lab in 2 Versions. With and without Airlock. Recommendation: Use until next update the plugin Ship Manifest for crew transfer. Hi hraban, sorry my question at this point. since I am a habitat module design on I'm looking for information about the interaction between habitat and iva access. (subject to this I have a tread opens) exactly your post at this point an important fundamental question has now answered me yet. - You could give me in this context (inflatable habitat - create) more to say about it. perhaps there is indeed a link, (which I have not found until now) - famous' in Kapt.kipart link collection in this forum, I have unfortunately found nothing.can also answer in my tread (IVA and inflatable habitat -how it works ? ) cheers, raendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAS_Coop Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hey all, Just congratulating the makers of this super mod. Just assembling my first space station into orbit. (MiR) Got a questions. (maybe on wrong part of the site, but isn’t Soyuz TM a 3-person crew?) Is there a 3 man crew version of tantares CM-TYJ Kheleb? Playing with these cool ships from KerbalX created by CaptKordite using your mods. Only Soyuz TM only 2 crew. (tried something myself, change crew to 3 in your mod files, in VAB the OK but when launching only 2 crew visible) Anyway great mod, Best regards, SAS_Coop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not possible to fit three Kerbals in a 1.25m pod. For three Kerbal capacity, you would probably want HGR (1.875m pod), or some kind of Stock recreation (2.5m Stock pod).

It can't be called laziness to avoid reading hundreds of pages, that is not a fun task Yes, a few many of the Fuji textures will be blurry.

Downside of the matter is, the fuel in the balloons is not enough. For a sensible use the amount of fuel would have to be doubled. Exactly could be achieved without the module to substantially increase. Include in the gaps still added smaller spherical tanks. So if you had an optical differentiation in Oxidizer and Liquid Fuel. The RCS adapter must be quietly embellished with RCS fuel tanks. Whether that installs or the collider allowed from sticking RCS tanks ... The Fuji Project is intended for orbital flights. It is therefore not necessary to provide the heat shield with more than 400 units of the ablator. In general, the weight of the capsule is very high. Hello! Think about it at lightweight from advanced composites. The part could weigh half. Almost forgot! Fuji has capacity for 3 Kerbals. Not? However, it has! Take it out visually half the depth and 2/3 of the diameter of the heat shield to do so. Edited January 6, 2016 by hraban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it out visually half the depth and 2/3 of the diameter of the heat shield to do so. I like the idea of doubling the fuel capacity for the Fuji fuel tank, and possibly having some monoprop tanks built in to the RCS adapter. And since we are on the subject I think the fuel capacity for the Fregat needs to be doubled or even tripled as well. For it's size compared to other Tantares tanks it could hold more fuel, and I feel like a Fregat Upper Stage should last me longer. The engine itself is fine, having the fuel tank only part allows us to utilize whatever engine we want if we need more power, which is awesome and I hope you continue to have both parts available on future updates. (I happen to like the "Camel" engine just the way it is, but again, needs more fuel) Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For scale the engine makes 5 kN thrust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this you need no configuration changes but vernier thrusters (Otter) and a steeper flight profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobaltWolf Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) @hraban is now the official spokesperson for Tantares haha. @Beale I'm not entirely sure what was wrong with the old Fuji part layout?
