(This is really the last thing missing from the tantares pack to make a full "IRL-Like" soyuz) Glad you like! The item in the images is already folding, but more to explain. (Let me put it on Github so it can actually be played with). First, it is part of an "IGLA kit, part of three antennas that form the rendesvouz system. Two folding styles for each antenna, so you can use it on damn-near any craft. Another folding variant will be introduced for the Soyuz and Progress with the correct "Mesh" style antenna dish mounting. Github IGLA boy. Merged @DerpyFirework's realplum configs. (Thanks!)

What about an arm that swings 180 degrees instead of 90, to allow it to be folded up underneath the soyuz service module?

TK-313 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Meanwhile, here is a little patch by me to add some KIS-powered inventory space to the modules to reflect that space stations are actually bigger than Soyuz pods and the TKS is a HUGE orbiter.

Rory Yammomoto Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 The docking ports have a problem... The 4GZ one does not extend, and the largest one does not retract. This causes a problem when my first space station for science, Tanteres 1, is a total failure due to the spacecraft not being able to dock.
