Salyut6

[no matter]

Hi all!
I ve decided to restart to work on a Salyut6 project. I had initiated the project a long time ago (more than one year) and stopped the development because of Oktobersky project and the fact that it will surely offers a better Salyut than mine.

But since OktoberSky is "a little delayed" as Castorp said in another thread, I have the opportunity to finish it.

I use the Proton rocket by Papyref to launch Salyut. The Station is UMMU compatible and uses orlan scaphander mesh from Mustard's orlan addon.
The main textures are from Jean-Marie Le Cospérec who did a nice Salyut6-Soyuz addon for Celestia.

No VC or internal view mesh, I am not able to draw such a thing unfortunately.

You can watch this video of the launch (don't expect a great video it is just a boring launch..):
here
(H264 - 22mb -> use VLC if the codec is missing on your pc)

The work is near to be finished.

will this be able to dock to other space craft?

P.S some one Please read my Sig I found it quite funny

 

[no matter]

Of course it will! Front and rear docking ports are available.

I have made a scenario with Soyuz & progress CVEL docked to Salyut and another one with Soyuz 7KT-OK & Soyuz 7K-T (by Castorp).

Unfortunately, there is no available Soyuz compatible with ummu

EDIT:

P.S some one Please read my Sig I found it quite funny

yes, quite funny

 

[Woo482]

Yes

I eventually go for a VC. Well, not a real Salyut VC (lacking infos and good picture of salyut) but something old and rusty.

I am doing a Soyuz 7K-T as well, it will be better than using a TMA.

Salyut6 will be released before the soyuz

Thanks. It 's hard to find something better, Salyut is old and full of "sovietic era secrecy" ^^.
I am not doing the real console because I want to put the traditionnal MFD and HUD on it (4 working MFD and the hud). It takes so much space when you want to have a descent resolution for the MFD fonts.

The code is almost done, The VC is on its way, Picto is helping me but we are experiencing troubles for exporting the files between 3dsmax6 and 3dsmax8 (nothing serious but frustrating :huh: ). This is why I can't put screenshots of the work done...

I have also started working on the Soyuz7K-T, it is going fine!

 

[no matter]

...and here it is, the 7K-T:

I use the orlan mesh from Mustard's addon (original model from Max Grueter if I remeber well), I found no other suitable mesh and I am not enough talented to draw such a thing.

Of course, don't wait for something as perfect as Oktobersky project (I still hope oktobersky will be released one day...).
