Hmm.. Though I don't know what needs to change for 1.10.x Unfortunately that's precicesly the problem, the parts are in limbo between 1.9 and 1.10, broken in both versions right now - effectively. cheap little gridfin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidy12 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Is this still compatible with 1.8.1? Because the fairings aren't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the description localizations for the new N1 parts are bugged. Edited August 2, 2020 by davidy12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

К сожалению, эти детали не возможны - с фондовыми обтекателями. Если я сделаю обтекатели SAF, это может быть возможно. And if you just draw them?

tjsnh Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 So, I tried out the latest built off github (downloaded 8/2/2020 about mid-day). TantaresLV only. Current version of KSP 1.10.1.2939 Only other mods are kspengineer-redux and modulemanager Some feedback : A few parts show up as untextured solid black, for example the fregat and blok-d tanks. The fairings seem to be working. Woot! I haven't tried nested layers of fairings or anything more advanced yet, just did a quick check to see if it let me build them. I dont know if you are using any new SFX, but the engine sounds on the NK engines of the N1 are amazing with the big clusters going off. The N-1 stack needs ... significant .. additional struts inside the inster-stage fairings, and outside of them as well. Just doing auto-strut results in either a quick collapse or VERY severe wobble. This screenshot shows the type of collapse I'm talking about, all parts are autostrut'ed to root-part. The 4th pane shows the extra internal struts I had to do to fix the problem (engines removed for visibility) My advice to all : Struts, more struts, then even MORE struts.

I use Heaviest and can easily launch N1 on 4X physics warp with zero wobble. And zero "real" struts. This is not just for Tantares, this will improve your general KSP gameplay experience drastically. @tjsnh Thanks for the other issues - continuing to pick those up. The solid black parts you are seeing are the deprecated parts - still to be hidden. 23 minutes ago, Zarbon44 said: Oops! All N1! Amazing! I would love to try an N III eventually.

Beale Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Additional Question Time A while ago - all engines were switched to Monopropellant, this was to: Unify the fuel supply in craft, closer to IRL and more importantly easier to balance well. Prevent scenarios where craft don't have the manouvering fuel but main engine fuel (too much LFO, not enough monoprop for example). But, this might not have worked so well. Personally, I don't have too much time to play KSP, but when I do, I can get a bit frustrated by the change - especially being unable to not use Restock engines / fuel tanks / mix and match. So might it be better instead to unify all the fuel to LFO, and also switch the RCS thrusters to use LFO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're RCS, make them mono. People can always strap on more mono tanks or more LFO tanks. Does this make the craft heavier? Yes. But there is a solution to this.

Unfortunately not on the cards.

IRL they are unified typically to UDMH and NTO - for both the main propulsion and orientation (generalising a bit here, but it often is like that). I think the closest thing to do then will be LFO for everything. Super secret test footage (197X): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like something else actually - if you can screenshot the interior of the TantaresLV folder that might give a clue, clean re-install if not might be the best idea.

AlphaMensae Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 An interim launch plate I made for the Tantares Energia, coming in v2.1 of Modular Launch Pads (available now on the AlphaDev branch of the Modular Launch Pads GitHub): The Zenit openings are big enough to accomodate both realistic placement (offset on the X-axis) and non-realistic symmetrical about both the X and Z axes (since that was how I thought they were...until I looked more closely at the craft file I was using ).

These are really high quality and add so much to the launch than the plain old vanilla pad. Looks amazing! Tantares Version 23.0 for Kerbal Space Program 1.10.X Please note TantaresLV is still broken for KSP 1.10.X, working on it now. This Update: - Revamp of VA. - Various cleanups. - New Orlan space suit. - New Sokol space suit - Provided generously by @benjee10, check out some of his stuff below. Many thanks for those who have provided feedback and testing during this development. Thanks also for the patience in updating to KSP 1.10, it's been a painful update. Old VA parts have been deprecated, they will still load in craft files, but the texture will be black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
