All of my mods require kerbal joint reinforcement because they are larger and heavier than any of the stock parts. Without that they will wobble all over the place. You shouldn't be using struts at all.

Thanks, didn't know that. I'll try that and come back to you if it doesn't work.

T +/- 0: Nominal

T + 30 seconds: Mechjeb begins gravity turn to 100km, angles to 80 degrees pitch.

T+ 40 seconds: Still nominal, pitch at 70 degrees.

T+ 50 seconds: Nominal, navball guidance indicator at 65 degrees.

T+ 53 seconds: I accidentally cut off the navball in this screenshot, so I don't know what the pitch was. But the rocket suddenly points straight up, about 87 degrees.

T+ 1 minute: This flight has officially gone to excrements. The pitch is at -20 degrees, and the pitch and AoA on the flight recorder are flipping out.

 

I did nothing other than turn on MechJeb's ascent guidance and flight recorder to launch your Salyut 7 to 100 km, 0 inclination. Since I can't post the screenshots here, I'll PM them to you.

OOPS!

@redmonddkgamer

i think your flightpath in MJ is too flat. Edit it to start the gravityturn later (~10km).

[redmonddkgamer]

I'll try that, thanks. But if that doesn't work... love it. Hyperedit.

I forgot about the censorship...

@ragusila For the people trying to add ScienceConverter to Salyut, you can try this code below. Simply adding the modules by copying the stock's science lab would not work properly.
 

MODULE
{
	name = ModuleScienceLab
//the ModuleScienceContainer is the 6th module, therefore containerModuleIndex must be 5.
	containerModuleIndex = 5
	dataStorage = 400
	crewsRequired = 1
	canResetConnectedModules = True
	canResetNearbyModules = True
	interactionRange = 5
	SurfaceBonus = 0.1
	ContextBonus = 0.25
	homeworldMultiplier = 0.2
	RESOURCE_PROCESS
	{
		name = ElectricCharge
		amount = 10
	}
}
MODULE
{
	name = ModuleScienceConverter
	dataProcessingMultiplier = 0.5	// Multiplier to data processing rate and therefore science rate
	scientistBonus = 0.50	//Bonus per scientist star - need at least one! So 0.5x - 5x 
	researchTime = 6.8		//Larger = slower.  Exponential!
	scienceMultiplier = 5		//How much science does data turn into?
	scienceCap = 300		 //How much science can we store before having to transmit?		
	powerRequirement = 4	//EC/Sec to research
	ConverterName = Research
	StartActionName = Start Research
	StopActionName = Stop Research
}

 

I also recommend you change the CrewReport and mobileMaterialsLab masks by replacing the original ones with the code below. The new masks will require a crew inside the part and the experiments cannot be triggered by EVA.

Spoiler

MODULE
{
	name = ModuleScienceExperiment
	experimentID = mobileMaterialsLab

	experimentActionName = Run Lab Experiment
	resetActionName = Reset Lab Experiment

	useStaging = False
	useActionGroups = True
	hideUIwhenUnavailable = True 
	resettable = True
	resettableOnEVA = True
	rerunnable = True
	xmitDataScalar = 0.4
	
	FxModules = 0
	usageReqMaskInternal = 4
	usageReqMaskExternal = -1
}
MODULE
{
	name = ModuleScienceExperiment	
	
	experimentID = crewReport
	
	experimentActionName = Crew Report
	resetActionName = Discard Crew Report
	reviewActionName = Review Report
	
	useStaging = False	
	useActionGroups = True
	hideUIwhenUnavailable = True	
	rerunnable = True
	
	xmitDataScalar = 1.0
	usageReqMaskInternal = 4
	usageReqMaskExternal = -1
}

This may seem like a stupid question (it probably is) but is the Salyut station docking port compatible with the soyuz docking port (not just the one included with the mod but the soyuz spacecraft in the Soviet spacecraft mod)?

Yes, it is compatible.

Well that makes me very happy. Off to go make my Soviet space station!

[HeyThisIsntFallout]

Is there some sort of tutorial I can watch or read? I'm having a hard time fitting Salyut decouplers and tanks together. I see no YoutTube walkthroughs and the terms "tutorial" and "walkthrough" are not used in this thread.

[raidernick]

no

[TOA]

New to the game; got Salyut7 in a nice circular orbit, proud of it! and many many thanks to the volunteers who support this mod!! it's amazing.

[serg1983]

when you try to load and run a craft from Salyut Stations (Salyut/Almaz),a message POPs up, "the device size is unknown!"there is no information about the size of the device .open it in the Vehicle Assembly Building for evaluation by our engineering Department " what could be the problem

How about "Zvezda" ISS module (solyut 9/mir 2)? Will this module be in this mod?

my packs are soviet packs, zvezda was not made during the time of the soviet union.

Clear.. And what about the "MIR" (Salyut 8) station?

There is another MIR-Mod (Bobcats mod). I don`t know if there is a working download anywhere.

already exists and most modules were built in the 90s and therefore not soviet
