[1.12.X] Tantares - Stockalike Soyuz and MIR [16.1][28.05.2024][Mars Expedition WIP]

Recommended Posts

Tantares 22.2

Quick hotfix to resolve issues with ladders and airlocks on Salyut / Almaz parts, thanks @CaptKordite
LOK textures have also received a quick pass on the normal maps.

You can get Tantares on both GitHub, Spacedock, and CKAN.

! WARNING !

  • Previous craft built using Mir parts should still load, but parts have been deprecated and will have a black texture. I recommend retiring these craft, as deprecated parts will be removed in the version after (23.0).
  • Folder structure has changed, please do a clean install of the mod.

Does Energia have the LH2 fuel that was suggested in the newest update?

LH2 isn't in stock and Beale doesn't like relying on other mods.  I don't know if anyone made a patch to change Energia to LH2 thought.  Maybe Nertea did in Cryo Engines?

I know @Beale said was planning on making a Tantares LH2 without any dependencies. I was hoping this would be in the latest update, that it all.

I'm pretty comfortable doing that in a dependency free way - after doing that in CRE (bundle tantares_lh2 and switch actual lh2 if you have CRP installed) - so yeah I will make Energia LH2,

Yep, it's planned for the next update :) TantaresLV hasn't received any changes in a while, I don't think there is anything in Tantares that should be LH2?
Perhaps either as an optional patch, or a fake-compatible resource like CRE.

Energia just doesn't really work too well using Kerolox, so it's overdue.

Does anyone know which tech tree mods have configs for Tantares? Particularly would like to try an unmanned-first mod that has Tantares parts in the right places

Unfortunately I know of nothing like this.

 

 

Unfortunately / or fortunate for those who voted in the poll, we actually need the Blok-D no matter what going forward. It only took a couple of hours really anyway.
Feel free to change your vote if you chose that, otherwise I will just split the results between the other options.

Hmmm....

That could be quite a few things 667861032487616562.png?v=1
Not to mention, you might be able to do something very cool with a VA capsule and a Blok-D.

So if anyone is wondering the Procedural Fairings Patch for BDB also works for Tantares parts. (You wont be able to build a 1.5m VK3 until you unlock the relevant PF max fairing size  in career but the same issue also applies to BDB)

Only thing left now is a fairing with a hole

Quick question, in the modern Soyuz launches, what’s the staging order? Do the boosters separate before the fairing or vice versa?

Search soyuz launch sequence in google

Spoiler

Yep, boosters early on, fairings higher up :)

There are a (few) good videos of launches that can be found, sadly not as many for US rockets though (Seeing the launch of a Start-1 is a treat if you never did :D).
