I preferred the tan coloration on the cargo module, as well as replacing the angled part with the block/rib thing from the older ATV model.

Maybe, but it does not compliment the monopropellant tank.

For the lower part, I am not sure. The new style is meant to replicate the style of the TKS radiator.

I think the mono tank shouldn't have the tan. Possibly the top/sloped part of cargo module could also not have it. 

I personally did not care for the squiggly lines on the TKS radiators either. I think it would benefit from having a beefy looking ring around the midsection, which was fairly good in the old version. This poster had a drawing to show what I mean. Obviously as always it's your call but I'm going to fight for what I think looks best :wink:

Is the ATV Mono tank built in? if not then why not leave it the off-white color it was before? Just the "pressurized" part of ATV would be Tan maybe?

Well, that is not so bad:

I wonder how much the part is used if it clashes with monochrome stock parts though.

I will take a further look at the geometry when I have more free time :)

It would clash no more than Tantares gray, I think. It's a muted color. 

Also is it just me or is the ATV in that picture longer? Is it the forum doing that.

Two shots to wrap up the first successful N1-based Mun landing of 1.1.2 for me. 

First, the beauty shot of the ships docked after the LK returned from the surface:

I've been having an issue and I hope someone here can shed some light on it. My Vostok's parachute keeps ripping itself off the capsule when it deploys (meaning, the part itself breaks off, not the chute). It's always worked properly in the past. Any ideas? I've been getting around it by engaging hyperedit's landing, but it's getting annoying.

@Jso what did we wind up doing to fix the Trails chute ripping off? It might affect all of @Beale's chutes.

Yes, it's fixed. I ended up starting from scratch with an mk-16 and adjusting it for the capsule. I think the problem was the chute was opening way too quickly. The capsule was also coming in a bit fast for my taste so I took a small amount of weight off to lower the terminal velocity.

Hello

Beale, You doing great job with your mods.

But I have problem with old Spica.Crew A. I had it running in Kerbal pre 1.1 version and now it is absent. After updating game and all mods, I can not run my career. I know this part has been moved to other mods, and I have seen discuss about that, but I can’t repair it. Could You help me please?

thx

:D

Whoa, where did you get those high res ground textures? BTW, I really love your lander!

If you go on to spacedock, and download one of the older versions of the mod, you can grab the Spica / Gemini (don't know which it's called) from the older version and drop it into the same place in the new install.

I tried different files form old mod versions and still nothing – the game doesn’t see it. Maybe You can suggest correct version.

If you go to the changelog on Spacedock, go to the bottom version (33.0) and download it, that version still has the Spica. Make sure you recreate the folder structure in your current/updated Tantares folder, so that the file paths are preserved.

I see in the roadmap that following the Ariane 5 revamp, you're planning on updating the N1. I don't know what your plans are for when you get there, but I do have a few suggestions. For the orbital module on the Soyuz 7K-LOK, I think the active side of the "Kontakt" docking mechanism would make an amazing addition. As well as a the passive end for the LK. The main body of the N1, in the real world, featured grid fins on the side of the engine mount on Blok A. I would suggest removing the engine cluster for Blok B and replace it with an engine mount on which you place 8 engines (similar in shape to the K2-25) covered by an interstage fairing (if interested, see video below for better description).One final suggestion I have is to possibly include a few custom procedural fairings for the N1. Namely, the one covering the whole Moon Complex and the one under that the stretches between the bottom of Blok D and the top of LK. 

If you're interested in any of the ideas, I got all of them from this video here. Also, I didn't do a very good job describing my Blok B engine cluster idea.

That was my exact thought when I watched that :sticktongue:

ATV is the same size :)

For the colours, with the Mono and Engine, the plain white ATV does not look so bad, IMO.

Very clean, very nice :) 

It is good to see a Soyuz mission go on without a flipping problem.

I done everything like that and still nothing.

Vessel was not loaded because it had the following part missing Spica.Crew.A

:(

BTW, this is steam Kerbal v1.1.2.1260 (X64)
