[1.8.x - 1.12.x] Soviet Probes & Soviet Rockets - R7/N1/Soyuz/Proton/Zenit/Dnepr/Kosmos/Tsiklon - 7-24-21

raidernick · October 5, 2014

Here is a dev build for anyone who wants to test out these new changes with luna 9-10. I am looking for feedback regarding the new weights and fuel/twr values. This is NOT compatible with older versions(the folder structure and part names have changed, this only affects soviet probe parts not the r7 rocket parts) and will most likely not be compatible with v1.0. Remove old versions COMPLETELY before installing this. You have been warned as this will break any in progress flights using the old parts.

NOTE: Remove old version and craft files completely before installing new version. Only the soviet probe luna 9-10 stuff has changed, the R7 rockets and other soviet probes remain unchanged.

Just tested this on 0.25. Everything seems to work fine. I can't comment on reflection plugin, firespitter and km_gimbal ATM. They APPEAR to work fine but there may be unforeseen consequences in the long term. As soon as these mods are updated I'll update the zip files. On a side note all of my other mods work fine as they don't depend on plugins to work, the fire effects on the r7 rockets even got replaced automatically.

Hi, are you planing to make probe landers too? I really really want to see a Vega or Venera probe so I can orbit and land on eve too!

Please will you consider making it?

I agree it would be great to have an accurate replica of the Venera landers.

In the meantime, you might want to check the "kerbalized" version of the Venera probe that Lionhead created (it's in the "Landers and probes pack")

raidernick · October 10, 2014

I have a mesh for the venera probe. I don't know when/if I'll get a chance to work on it. I wasn't planning on doing vega.

ZulfanRizky · October 10, 2014

Just making a Space Timeline with your mod.

Thats great to hear! im really looking forward to control a Venera probe.

Btw my knowledge of Soviet probes is not really that good but if im not wrong the Luna can land on the mun right? If so then I will definitely download it.

raidernick · October 11, 2014

Only the luna 9 probe can land, luna 10 is a satellite, luna 2 is an impactor and luna 3 was only used to take pictures of the dark side of the moon.

Marcelo Silveira · October 11, 2014

It would be interesting if there was integration with Remote Tech plugin (I haven't tested .25 yet).

So I made the config file that adds RT capability to Luna 2, 3, 9, 10 and Sputniks 1 to 3.

If you change all the @PART[...] to @PART[...]:NEEDS[RemoteTech]

then raidernick can include the file in the main download and it will only activate when RemoteTech is installed.

raidernick · October 11, 2014

Yes if you do what nathankell said I will include it with the download. Be very careful with the rt energy usage on the probes without solar panels though. I included just enough battery for these to make it too the mun. They have to be able to get there without running out.

About the energy usage, I'm testing it right now.

October 12, 2014

... luna 3 was only used to take pictures of the dark side of the moon.

Common mistake. It took the first pictures of the far side of the moon. Anyone can take a snap of a certain Pink Floyd album.

Common mistake. It took the first pictures of the far side of the moon. Anyone can take a snap of a certain Pink Floyd album.

Semantics! Besides it can be called the dark side in reference to communications blackout.

After some time testing stuff, its ready. the RT modules, the energy usages and added the modules to Molniya.

I will add this in the next update.

Edited October 12, 2014 by raidernick

raidernick · October 12, 2014

Updated V0.95

- Updated Luna 9-10 textures, tweaked all fuel and TWR values

- Fixed Luna 9 airbag collision issue(it still starts half deployed for some reason)

- Updated craft files

- Added remote tech module manager config for rt2 support

- THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS. FULLY REMOVE OLD VERSION BEFORE INSTALLING THIS!

Marcelo Silveira · October 12, 2014

ok, didn't see that RT was updated to version 1.5 and the code I sent is for 1.4

The new one is made for version 1.5

I have no access to update this right now. If someone is using the newer version please use the code above until I can fix it.

October 12, 2014

I like the progress on Luna 9/10. Have you seen RoverDude's USI survivability pack? It contains functional, animated airbags. You could ask him about setting something like Luna 9 up. It could come out less buggy than the current, FS-based version.

raidernick · October 12, 2014

Updated V0.95.1 Hotfix

- Updated remote tech 2 mm config for latest version

raidernick · October 13, 2014

I redid the molniya-1 textures in preparation of the next update. The very final thing I will do before v1.0 will be polyot, so expect that next along with the new molniya textures.

October 13, 2014

It's an improvement, though the Orbiter guy got the colors wrong. I think it should be mostly white, with sliver pieces at the front, and strongly reflective radiatior:

raidernick · October 13, 2014

That picture is not of molniya-1 it is of one of the later satellites. I will change the main body color to white though.

Edited October 13, 2014 by raidernick

raidernick · October 13, 2014

Updated

October 13, 2014

Fair enough, it sure did look similar (though even on the top picture, it seems the panels' underside was white). It might look better if you made the radiator reflective and closer in color to the nose, but otherwise seems mostly right.
