Do I need to put them directly on the engine or are they supposed to work fine on the decoupler? Oh interesting, I maybe have to look at that thanks 12 hours ago, Hohmannson said: Pre-7K lunar flyby module 5K Sever(North) project, just in case So rare to see in such good quality!

Friznit Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 @Beale Did you settle on a build for Polyus that you would like reflected on the wiki? I updated the image and build guide recently to the FGB without the docking ports on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

si2504 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi all. I am trying to locate a part that seems to be missing from one of my craft files. The part named is "Tantares.MOE.3.E". I would be grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction, i am using the latest versions of Tantares, LV & SP. Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyou They all changed names to Octans so you need to edit the craft files in a text editor to the new part names. Off the top of my head it'd be called something like Octans MOE 3E RCS now. Simple search and replace should fix up the craft file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would i be right in thinking that where the craft file says Tantares.MOE.3.E, the new name for this particular part is "octans_moe_srf_3_extended" this particular one is located in the "any_rcs" > soyuz folder.

What I do is create a very simple craft - any object with the new RCS part fitted. Open that craft file in a text editor and then copy the name of the new part.

Anachro Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Can we have optional side hatch or mounting points for soyuz? That will definitely make it more complex but mean while allow so many further possibilities to exist. Like L3 1963 the soyuz lander Or L1 Podsadka: early L1 with a inflatable hatch on the side Or regular soyuz with extra backup rescue hatch\ parachutes Edited March 31, 2021 by Anachro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like L3 1963 the soyuz lander Or L1 Podsadka: early L1 with a inflatable hatch on the side Or regular soyuz with extra backup rescue hatch\ parachutes Unfortunately there is not really the scope to work on that right now, unless extra hands can be had to assist. Here is what is currently scoped: https://github.com/Tantares/Tantares/projects/11 But, I will keep these ideas for a hatch in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdinaryKerman Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) On 3/26/2021 at 10:30 PM, Beale said: As a general rule, TantaresSP (Space Probes) is only going to feature spacecraft that go beyond Earth orbit (this is up for debate, but that's at least how I've been categorising it so far). This is why you still got stuff like Progress and Meteor in regular Tantares, since they are Earth Orbit. Maybe a new sub-mod, TantaresORB, for space stations and stuff? That should declutter the base Tantares part catalogue enough, though the distinction between ‘station’ and ‘spacecraft’ can be pretty thin and very blurry sometimes, especially for TKS/FGB.

Beale Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 You didn't think Polyus was the only thing I was working on, right? I hope you did, because you would be right. Credit to Nick Stevens. In more mundane news, conversion of existing parts to B9PS is going very well, several existing part sets can now take full advantage (The progress modules for example no longer have a ridiculous 8 switches, but two neat and tidy small switchers).
