Z3R0_0NL1N3 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I'm loving the look of the new Energia boosters. Is it safe to assume that these gaps are for the booster return system? Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chutes are in bottom of the booster, but not sure if KSP allows to change chute hanging point in flight. Also this is a solid-fuel sepratron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3R0_0NL1N3 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Amazing, I've been hoping for this for ages! The real booster looks like it has an RCS system here, also. Not sure if that's going to be implemented. It's cool to think about what it would be like for the Soviets to have built soft-landing rockets years before SpaceX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big pipe on the left of it is fuel drain. Edited December 14, 2020 by Hohmannson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beale Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Github https://github.com/Tantares/TantaresLV RD-8, plus a ton of balancing passes, etc. The Zenit is basically copmplete at this point, so is the Energia. Remaining is a few more little things, then it can go out the door. Edited December 14, 2020 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should also know the piccture you posted is the AJ-26, the version flown on Antares for CRS and adapted by Aerojet for a few American vehicles. The original Russian engines have slightly different piping and powerhead structure. (See below) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beale Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) TantaresLV 14.0 Phew! What a beast! Would you believe Zenit took almost twice as long as Energia? Finally we are here just in time for Christmas, so settle down with some cocoa and crash what's left of the late 1980's soviet economy. As well as Zenit and Energia there is now improvements to existing engines, and partial waterfall support. There is also support for community resources, if you have it, "real" LH2 resource will be used, so you can use any cryogenic engines with the Energia tanks and vice versa. Have fun, and if any issues, let me know! TantaresLV - SpacedockTantaresLV - GitHub Edited December 17, 2020 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas? I think you mean Fall of the Soviet Union Eve. I am very excited about the new Energia though! 12 minutes ago, derega16 said: Now...where I can find SOCK compatible Buran I'd suggest using Cormorant for the Buran. Art-wise, it matches Tantares better while SOCK matches reDIRECT. Plus it gives you some visual distinction between the Buran and the STS. If you use the SPT extension though, the wings need to be upscaled. I made a cfg patch for it, so let me know if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
