So should I uninstall the stuff labeled "New Tantares" and "New TantaresLV" on CKAN and go look for the current version, or is it still called that? I don't see anything that's just labeled as plain "Tantares" or "tantaresLV"

It's worth a try.  However, I did a flip with Lunakhod last night and landed perfectly, and that was really neat.  :cool:

Yeah the new CKAN devs, notably DasSkelett have very kindly reworked the listing, it is now just Tantares, TantaresLV, and TantaresSP plainly.

All future updates will come through those (with craft files!).

Rocks do be getting sampled though.

would it be possible to make a kind of invisible section in the middle that you can't see but it has colliders?

I'm not sure if that feels very cromulent

Edit: Jokes aside, actually this fixed the issue, so thank you!

I heard that there used to be a 1.5m diameter B9 part switch setting for R7 upper stages, but I just never activated it successfully.

After all, current scale for Vostok and Voskhod is a little bit off in Tantares.

Could anyone tell me that if there is any way to restore that setting? or has been planed in future Tantares LV?

What exquisite timing - it is available just now!

Tantares SP 4.0

  • - YE-8-5 Luna Sample Return (Luna 16, 20, 24)
  • - YE-8 Lunokhod Rover

TantaresLV 14.1

  • - Waterfall compatibility (Many thanks to Zorg!).

TantaresLV - Spacedock
TantaresLV - GitHub

(Launch Vehicles and Upper Stages)

Also available on CKAN.

TantaresSP - Spacedock
TantaresSP - GitHub

(Interplanetary Space Probes)

Also available on CKAN.

Updating? Keep in  mind that parts are sometimes deprecated (removed) when moving to newer versions of the mod.
Though they will still load on existing crafts for at least one version after they are deprecated, they will not appear in the VAB and will not have textures.

So of course, big thanks to @Zorg who has driven the complete revamp of TantaresLV waterfall FX. Not only has he created these powerful, accurate, and beautiful effects - he actually created the configuration patches to use them, which has been an invaluable help.

Give him a big thanks! And enjoy his amazing work!

Awesome new stuff!

Also: finally got to launching N1, and there's one thing missing. The actual rocket was supposed to shut down six central engines on its first stage to reduce stress (just like Saturn V's S-IC). Unfortunately, this is not a thing in Tantares. Can you please consider adding this in future updates? This should be a relatively easy thing to add - via stock mode switch.

Is it possible to make a Proton fairing with those insulation pads?

Good job so far!

that is the most russian looking thing I have ever seen

--------------------------------------------------------------------

also, could there be a potential LK lander revamp in the future? Because for example I think LK used 1 big engine, 2 (or 1 with two nozzles) backup engine/s and a 4 nozzle vernier

if you use 1 engine on LK because of your style then it's ok

Interesting design on that mini-rocket there... Looks like it could perform re-entry quite easily... :D

Ejection seat on Vostok

I think it would be marvelous to reappear this part of soviet style reentry

separate landing for kosmonaut  and capsule.

what are the ''surface'' parts? are they meant to be used on a celestial body or something like surface attachable

also I like all of it

They are surface attach parts that's right, like radiators / etc.

I looked at these recently! Actually I was surprised the blankets come off before the launch, they are only temporary unfortunately :D

Next update focus is on orbital construction.

With Vostok, I don't think I will ever touch that again, I don't really enjoy working on it, and barely anybody uses it. I would prefer to remove it from the mod if I had total freedom.

 

 

 

 

 

@StriZ @Burning Kan @Finnpin @Iskra Valentina Kusnetzov re: the poll, just curious to hear your feelings on voting no. Obviously I have a huge majority for yes votes, but no comments at all otherwise.

Don't remove Vostok

it's sad (Maybe Tany the Tanystropheus can help)
(also it's a nice ball capsule for stuff, like bathyspheres)

I do understand that if you really can't stand its 'outdated' (by your standards) appearance and don't want to remodel it, you can remove it. It'll still be there in older versions of Tantares...

Is it possible to add a hand-operated crane?

DISCLAIMER: This is a Blender render. The texture itself is already ingame, just need to test it along with other stuff not related to Tantares before publishing. Will use CC-BY-SA license and credits in readme, of course.
