RedParadize Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I think dragon should be 2.5, difference in diameter with Apollo is negligible. (btw, my SSTU orion is 3.125 dia, match reality quite nicely!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(btw, my SSTU orion is 3.125 dia, match reality quite nicely!) Did you rescale your Orion? I'm using Stock Sized RSS but i'll delete sigma dimensions so I get full scaled RSS just too see if I went all out rescale. XD My Orion is currently 3.75m so it fits nice and snug with my 3.75m SLS despite it'd be 5m in the kerbal world as the real SLS is 8.4m in diameter. But it'd probably be too overpowered a 5m SLS just carrying Orion. That's why I have an SLS Heavy variant that's 5m to carry my Exploration Upper Stage. I've made these 2 SLS rockets reusable. (heavy one still awaiting testing). My Falcon 9 for re-usability still awaits more testing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a couple things to touch up on, (darkness of engines and shield, RCS textures, ect.) but other than that, the next major step is to put this thing through Unity and get it in KSP. I will release Betas kind of like how BDB is doing with their Apollo since I have the Cargo Dragon, IVA, and Falcon 9 revamp left to do. Nice! I would suggest making the windows smaller, I think that would look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceBadger007 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) So I made this mars rover mission that would not have been possible without Tundra Exploration, so a HUGE thank you Tygoo for making this awesome mod!

Micro753 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The ladders on the Rodan Capsule are really slippery. I had a kerbal go EVA while on Kerbin, and I couldn't get him back in. Is that going to be fixed during the revamp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micro753 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) On 9/5/2016 at 10:37 PM, Micro753 said: There is definitely something wrong with the aero on the Rodan with its heatshield. The drag from reentry from LKO seems too high, similar to when I have a capsule do a direct descent from a Jool return. Turning to create lift causes two lift vectors, and the one going the opposite of what it should tends to be greater in my experience, causing the opposite change in your trajectory than it should. You can see it if you turn on the aero overlay (F12 by default, I think). Reveal hidden contents Did another quick test, and I found out it is the heat shield that is causing the problems with the direction of the lift. The aerodynamics of the capsule alone are in the right direction (but still seem way too high to me), but you get the two vectors in opposite directions once you add the heat shield with the integrated landing gears. I also tried rotating the heat shield with E/Q, but it still had the same results. I hope this gets fixed, because it makes it very hard to land precisely back at KSC.

Made a version of my own (atleast tried) http://imgur.com/a/LikgK . I like your idea of landing the 3rd booster on that spot. Never really thought about it. Always used the droneship from the Launcher Pack mod but I can't get it to work with KSP 1.2 atm. I've still a hard time landing booster 1&2 without any other mod.

Z3R0_0NL1N3 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Speaking of barges, here is the one I use, if you haven't seen it. It uses Kerbal Konstructs, so it's a solid entity, rather than a floating part. Also abligatory @tygoo7 where are you? Tygoo tygoo seven, where are you / you've got some work to do... even...tually.

Around 420k, was my first rocket that went to Duna to get my first CommNet Satellite up. But with this you can easy get half of it back from the rockets if you can recover it. Still hard though. @Z3R0_0NL1N3 Is that mod still working? Also thanks for mention it. I like to have a solid platform to land on instead of a boat that keeps bumping when I try to land.
