Daniel Prates Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I have no say in this parachute discussion since I am not experimenting any problems. I should say however that the deployment speed of all tantares chutes is indeed faster than average, resulting some near neck-breaking deacelerations, at least in low altitude where I usually deploy them (around 2000m). This is not a bug in my understanding, just an interesting fact that deserves consideration. Also, I use FAR ('blessed be this mod', says he in deep respect and awe) which changes the aero properties and thus can be the cause, as I imagine tantares is not calculated to fit well with every single mod out there (which is fair).

Its not crucial. And it can be solved with smart designs, for instance, using drogues. But really, in true koviet fashion, those chutes are some mighty crew-molesting parts!

StriZ Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Hmm... VA and Souz parachutes still don't slow after deleting partDatabase.cfg and physics.cfg with my "normal" x6.4 rescale mod set. I had test it twice. Who can tell me why it was working perfect before 1st June? I got a screenshot from 30th May. All kerbals had landing in safe.

It is really strange that it would suddenly stop working. Are you using recolour mods there - the custom Soyuz-T skin? If the parachute has any recolours applied, unfortunately a bug in the game will make it innefective. I have identified a few problems with the parachute config, so I will push a patch soon. Beautiful screenshot! I hope we can fix this and you can make more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had deleted this mod Soyuz and VA chutes had start to slow correctly. I had tested it twice. And "Tantares now in colors!" was updated recently too. Vostok chute has broken any way.

I really love that! @StriZ @sslaptnhablhat @tjsnh @Daniel Prates Okay, fix below for your parachute woes! Tantares 12.3 Who knew parachutes could be so hard? Parachutes have all been modified so that they will deploy at a much gentler pace - no more neck breaking G-forces! An issue with the Vostok parachute fairing has been resolved, major thanks to @blowfish who did lend his expertise to get that working! Important to note! Parachutes will deploy quite slowly now, but by default will fully deploy from 1000m. It will take a few seconds to reach full deployment, so don't leave it late!

As I had stated in a previous comment, I likened this mod as the Soviet equivalent to bdb, and as such, I had hoped that this mod had the early Soviet probes. Granted they were lacking in scientific instruments compared to the u.s. counterparts, they did have some form of science experiments. For instance Sputnik I, despite being little more than a metal sphere with a battery and radio transmitter inside, it did have an internal temperature and pressure gauge, so it can be argued that a 'kerbalized' version of it would have a primitive 2hot and presmat combination, much like how the narly probe core (vanguard I) has a 2hot.
