Nice colors but, have you replaced the colliders now? It makes me angry to fit small parts to DOS/TKS Parts.

 

I took a look at the colliders, I think they were a little too small.

Do you have a picture of the worst offenders for clipping?

Oh man! I still love old Tantares so much! 

They have some charm, but texture space, what a nightmare!

I found a neat low-poly Soyuz that reminded me to dig up the old parts.

LK Lander

I am trying to remove some of the awkward components of the old mesh. The LK lander is a difficult shape to approximate,  but some improvements are being made.
But, if you have some  modelling advice, very very welcome!

The new size factor is much improved. Very conceivable now to launch an LK on top of a Soyuz (With a wide fairing), just like in reality.
It is also a much closer fit to orthographic drawings than the old.

Finally, it will unfortunately only seat one Kerbal, this is the reality of realistic sizing.

@hraban Thanks! I've increased the colliders on the parts in the album.
But, I think also you need to add some padding to your parts, that is half of the problem.

I keep forgetting to mention this. It's a combination of the larger parts, as well as some smaller surface attach parts. Gemini and Vostok RCS parts have always clipped too deep into stuff.

SOON... a complete ISS assembly album, thanks to Tantares and HabTech!KdkqSjC.png

Very excited! :)

 

Testing. 

More opportunity for a fast play session :) 
Launchers work great. Thankfully no 1.1.2 crashes for me.

Using Soyuz as an orbital tug.

Has anyone had a go at implementing Kerbalism modules into Tantares yet?

Not yet.

Very attractive mod though.

I really want to make a realistic video of Zarya and Zvezda... if only my Proton could stop flippity floppity. Damn, I can't get over it

  • How are you flying?
  • Tried to delete partDatabase.cfg?
  • KJR?
  • Mechjeb?

Many many tests now for me and have yet to find Proton problems.

KJR. Tried both with and without Mechjeb. Deleting partDatabase.cfg solved the initial issue (rotating like hell and then flipping upside down at like 1.5k meters). Adding those little Soyuz fins solved the second issue (flipping during gravity turn). For now it's controllable. I hope. Your Proton will always be a great mistery, as it seems.

I took game data from the tantares zip file and put it in the game data folder on ksp.

Is that Wrong.

Yes, it's the content of GameData from tantares zip file that you have to put in ksp GameData folder.

You want the folders from inside the zip's gamedata folder, ie the Tantares and TantaresLV folders. Those go inside your KSP gamedata.

It sounds like you're saying you put the zip's gamedata inside your KSP gamedata, meaning you would have KSP/Gamedata/Gamedata/Tantares, which is wrong. You want KSP/Gamedata/Tantares etc etc

Thanks for the help.

Thanks again :)

No problem. For future reference, a lot of mod downloads will have the first folder in the zip look like it's the folder for the mod. That folder usually actually has a 'Gamedata/MODFOLDER' type structure inside it. Double check when you're installing a mod to make sure you're not accidentally putting in extra layers of folders. :)

You can also merge the GameData folder from the mod download with the existing GameData folder, copy into this directory.

Would it be possible to try without KJR?

Glad to hear you have some success :) But, the Proton issues are still very confusing.
