New TKS part? I like. Do I spy some FGB re-texturing as well?

Speaking of the VA capsule, do we have all the parts to put together the LK-1?

There are plans yes!

The craft and ascent are classic :) Almost would not need dedicated Polyus parts almost.

I see what you did there

Looks fantastic, Tantares goes from strength to strength! Keep it up :)

LK-1 parts on upload. The parachutes are missing descriptions in the current release! So I have fixed that now...
Still missing the avionics module, and potentially solar panels, but these are some neat new propulsions.

The rate at which you've got these updates flowing out is seriously impressive. Fantastic work!

Shameless plug - going to be streaming KSP tomorrow for most of the day, starting around 10am US/EST , jump on and check out all the creative things I do with the Tantares parts! I'll be picking up career mode late vostok - early zond/soyuz era and progressing as far as I can. (Quality streaming - good mic, green screen etc)

-- Update , ran into some technical difficulties with parachutes not working. Troubleshooting that so may miss the stream today, but I do broadcast a fair amount of KSP generally.

Wow Beale.

WOW!

Welcome back! I am not sure exactly how much you missed, what was the last thing I was making?

What could have been?

I had started on my MIR using Proton launchers but I think I'll finish it using Energia+Buran :)

Delivering Kristall module

Testing out the extensible airlock/docking port from Making History. Replaced the docking adapter module in the old craft file with the extensible one to enable it to fit inside the Buran payload bay.

Doing a bit of research, I found out that IRL the Kristall module was designed with the intention of docking with Buran. After Buran was cancelled, it was later adapted to dock with the American Shuttle.

Buran from Cormorant Aeronology of course.

So Blok E is the upper stage for Vostok, but the info on the upper stage for Voskhod seems a bit less clear. Is it just the same as the Soyuz 3rd stage? There's some mention of a Blok-L upper stage based on Molinya but this is the best image I can find

Also, any plans to do the special fairing used for Vostok and Voskhod?

It's quite similar, I wouldn't really think to make separate parts for it.
For the fairings, unfortunately no, it would require dependencies.

Just to make sure, do you right-click the fairing base or the fairing itself? Because only the fairing bases are clickable, just like the stock ones

Only now, a month later, do I realise I misunderstood your post because you misunderstood mine. I was talking about how Tantares' fairings are difficult to build in the VAB, not in-flight, they "stick", I can't seem to delete the fairing section if my cursor is in a certain place where I also can't place a section. It's difficult to explain, but should be easy to reproduce if you're trying to house a large payload in a smaller fairing.

You'd just started teasing Energia at about the time I'd packed my bags for a holiday and then forgot to come home. 10 months? Time flies.

Those Block E / Vostok parts are fantastic. I love the direction you've gone with your textures and colours.

So what's next? Briz-K/KM/M? hint hint :P

Not quite as long as long as I thought

LK-1 on Blok-D.

Sidenote: anyone have issues with heat shield (and sometimes engine) fairings having gaps and being off-center above decouplers? You can see it if you look closely at this image. Any idea what might be the cause?

I've had the issue occasionally (noticed on engine fairings) in a few different parts (none of them Tantares so far). I have 90+ mods so havent been able to narrow it down but I doubt its related to Tantares as I noticed it with Near Future parts in a 1.4.2 save before I even installed Tantares. Same issue with some BluedogDB parts yesterday in a 1.4.3 save. Perhaps we should ask around in the general support forums.

Edit: Looks like a stock bug thats been around for a while... unless yours is a separate issue. Sounds like the same thing though.

Okay first of all don't increase the font size just to get help.  It's annoying and rude.

Second of all, I just had a look at the parts for the Vostok craft file provided in the link on the first page, and there's no part with the word Andromeda.  Can you give us a screen shot of the error message?

To think this could have been the first moon landing! 

Whenever I see the stage configuration for how this was supposed to have happened, I can't help to think how 'kerbal' this looks:

SAra2Nl.jpg

 

Its how I usually did it, when I used to play with mostly stock parts. It shows that this Russian approach was, at least, very logical. 

 

EDIT: Almost all other modules can easily be replicated with already extant Tantares or even stock parts. The landing legs, though... there is no in-game part that I know of, modded or not, that comes close to that. It seems an excellent approach to avoid toppling problems
