That would have been nice Does the real R7 boosters have separator rockets? I've done something like that with the stock sepratron rockets and got a decent cross, so I don't think you have to do anything Beale. (Though having official Tantares side separators would be nice!) Take your time! No movement on the mod until I get the part tools anyway speak of the devil . It does, but I'm not sure exactly how / when they can fire. If you watch a Korolev cross there is a small burn just after the stage separation. 7 hours ago, demibear said: I personally, the stock grey and orange schemes are nice. The other two stock are kind of eh. Thanks for the response, I am looking at recolours now, but I am not really sure about the very dark stock green, what do you think? Currently this is the alternate, but it's probably a little too.... blue. 1 hour ago, Daniel Prates said: The periacope would be so nice, if IVAs had a meaning other than cosmetic purposes!

I would be happy to have a periscope if it could have some purpose without an additional mod (But, then I would include an MM patch to allow integration with something). Difficult choice.

We are all not speaking our native language so maybe wires are getting crossed - I think the point is it's nice to have a periscope, but needs a gameplay justification (My idea was to make the periscope a magic extending light). It only applies here, but if Contares has one that's totally respectable. Edited March 20, 2018 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only applies here, but if Contares has one that's totally respectable Yep thats what I meant. Tantares having a periscope would be for mere eycandy reasons, and afaik, some of previous tantares parts have been deprecated over time so that more space and development time was spent towards more meaningful parts. Thats why the old vostok parts were left behind, for instance, isnt it? Now, I am disconsidering hrabans remarks, as it seems his grip of english is a little ... hmmm... dry, but I assure he got my comments the wrong way. What he took for in my comments is not what I meant, but I think it that much is clear. Edited March 21, 2018 by Daniel Prates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Prates Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 So, tantares seems to be working fine on my 1.4 attempt of 'mod-soup'. However .... THIS: How the heck did that nav instrument get there?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the prop was a VOR-like instrument, I reasoned it must have something to do with "nav utilities", which is still not up-to-date with 1.4. Uninstalled it and the thing went away.

Z3R0_0NL1N3 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Stock separatrons are awful cosmetically and take far too much tweaking, so any alternative that fits on the soyuz and "just works" is a non-trivial need, in my opinion. Parts like the periscope you could set to give science points for "observation" but in my opinion not everything needs to have a stock usage. I think it's reasonable to assume a majority of people who use Tantares use it for historical reenactment rather than something like career, so at least myself would appreciate parts that exist purely for historical accuracy. That being said, Contares still exists and has some of those extras. It's the same reason I still think there should be a patch that matches the performance of these parts rather than rescaling the system: usually I just want to fly a soyuz, not integrate it with stock.

I will look into the separatrons, I appreciate historical accurate parts, but I really do not want to alienate those who just want parts to play with, that all serve a function. For the patch, I think @tjsnh can hook you up with something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
