All three variants are shown on the picture of saljut 7. 1. the identical variant on Soyuz/Progress 2. the rear variant on Saljut across from Progress IGLA with reflection protection 3. the front variant on Saljut accross from Soyuz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Reonic Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I believe RNs Soviet stuff might be a reasonable in-game reference, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimer4 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Glad I could help! Give me a challenge and I'll give it a crack. If there's one thing uni taught me, it's how to improve my Google-fu @hraban will probably have to correct me on this, but are all 3 shown in the picture he posted of Soyuz and progress docked to Salyut? There's the ones on Soyuz/progress, the one at the front of Salyut and the one at the rear of Salyut. The one at the rear was also present on the mir core module and zvezda (I think) but not too be confused with the SDRN antenna on zvezda. I don't think it's visible in photos any more of zvezda because igla has now been supplanted by kurs. Then again I could be taking complete twaddle and might be completely wrong Edit.

TK-313 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Something not quite right with the textures... Happens to the LES, too. Edited November 24, 2017 by TK-313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Github uploads, you really need to clear out any existing Tantares folder before copy-pasting a new version in, as there can be changes in file formats MBM -> DDS, etc. In this case, download fresh GitHub copy, delete the Tantares folder in GameData and paste the new copy in. Foldie-boy. Expand-boy. Fits on flat surface, no clipping (unlike the stock folding antenna, but who am I to judge?). Fits orbital modules very closely also (Extends no further out than the skirt on the engine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not in Tantares every, but @IronCretin could one day (I think he has more exciting projects underway though). I don't have much interest because it's kind of a dead-end project for Gameplay, a few launches and then the parts are probably forgotten. After that, LOK and LK are the second most "dead-end" style of craft, but they actually can be used a lot (I've even seen some sneaky people do Mars landings with them ). Hard to find that level of versatility for the Vostok/Voskhod Tantares WIP Github New RCS blocks. Updated PIRS parts New tech tree placements New text. Tantares LV WIP Github Updated Kosmos rocket parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also @IronCretin, I've been trying to get in contact with you to help make you an IVA for that mod, but you still refuse to friend me on discord or respond to my messages.

TK-313 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) It's an old thing to say, sure, but I like the N1-L3 so much. Nice pics of orbital test (Kerbin 3.2) below. Spoiler Ready to launch Liftoff! Stage two putting the ship in orbit... Stage 3 still putting the ship in orbit.... Burning the transtage to the Mun aka block G. Yes, the ship has layers of fairings. The ship as it should arrive to the Mun Fairing around LK jetissoned LOK deorbiting... ...and landing... ...somewhere in the endless steppes. Next test: Munar flyby! Also, here's a Kronal view of the rocket. Caution, long pic: Spoiler As for the results of the test, well, the built-in RCS thrusters on LOK's SM and docking come don't seem to work (although the context menu says they're on in both cases). And the heatshield won't jetisson. Still more things to do! Edited November 25, 2017 by TK-313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-313 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) More flying, more testing. Found 1 false alarm (the RCS engines on LOK's SM do work, actually) and 1 more bug (the fuel cell in said SM uses no monoprop, but does generate electricity). Other than that...
