Beale Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) New parts updated on Github I will upload crafts when we are finished, but a few tips to build Buran: Auto-strut the parts to the heaviest part. Do not use rigid attachment For stock Kerbin, four boosters are not required, use two (Currently I am using Proton tanks and Stock Vector engines X2). Tilt one of the rows of engines 5 degrees towards the payload (Use the rotate VAB tool and hold shift to rotate in 5 degree increments). Ascent profile is quite like the Space shuttle, fly with the shuttle under the rocket as you do the gravity turn. You can get the Buran parts from Pak's Cormorant Aeronology Following these steps, it really does fly as smooth as cream. You can lift many tons into orbit.

Is it me or the sides of the dish on top actually fold when concealed under the LES? Because I see no other way for it to fit there. My guess is that they EVA out and bolt it on mid-flight...

Although one thing that is lacking from almost all of the Russian Mods is a proper Block A Energia Booster. Complete with landing gear, chute and nosecone.

Semaj97 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Are the rockets just one part? Or are there separate engines, boosters, stages, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are made from separate engines, fuel tanks... They are also balanced in a way to fit in with the stock parts.

To avoid confusion: stock parts actually make sense not in the stock solar system (which is roughly 0.1 scale of the real one), but in systems scaled to be 0.25-0.32 scale of the real thing. So does this mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too far out of scope right now, I will consider it later. I thought it was the wings version. Github If you are using the Github W.I.P versions, there are a few breaking changes coming for the yet-to-be-released Energia parts. Thanks for your patience.

ddavis425 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Here's an OPSEK inspired station I'm building, the Russian segment is done and now I'm building an American segment to sort of make it into an ISS 2.
