Respect.
It look so amazing.

I think it will be released for some weeks, but i must write ssc files and optimize models.

Comme sur le forum francophone : pense ?  interligner tes images, Linuxman, sinon cel?  donne un message tr??s ?©tendu en largeur, moins ais?©ment lisible que l'habituel d?©filement haut/bas. Jeam
BTW, these models seem very interesting, really: the USSR fleet isn't so present in Celestia, you have had a good idea to model it.

You can download the first b??ta version on my site

At the home page StarWarSaga click BACK IN USSR rubric.

It is not easy to find the spcecrafts, have a look on the cel's :

The soyouz tma2 is flying in the 1988 1991 period.

You can find others spacecraft on the Moon like the space station Soyouz A+B and the lunar module Lk.

This version is just to have a look , be patient to have a final version

Linuxman

Is that soviet lunar module entirely fictional, or is it based on an actual design than never was built?

It certainly resembles the LK lander design.

There are quite a few articles on Astronautix about the Soviet manned Lunar landing program. Apparently it didn't happen because their N1 launch vehicle never got off the ground.

See http://www.astronautix.com/craft/lk.htm

I've just downloaded and tried this addon beta. It's an awesome work ! Some models are really terrific. I can't wait to install the final version, an absolute must have for Celestia.

Some models needs some adjustements : Some soyouz models have a central circular piece which have a small offset and need to be centered. Also, I suspect that the radii defined in the ssc files aren't right. The models appears (??) to be too big by a factor of 2 (radius = half diameter).

Geez, don't stop that good work, this will be an awesome addon !

You're absolutely right Selden, Linuxman based this model upon the Lunniy Korabl (Lunar wessel, IIRC) project. And, yes, the N1 explosions (just after the launches ( 2/21/ 69 ; 7/3/69; 7/27/71 and 11/23/72 ) stopped the lunar program... Jeam.

Here the final version for the Lk lander

For the Soyouz tma2 you can try these dates ... and maybe, later, could you work with Bh to insert the sequence when TMA2 was docked to the ISS

Thanks

I have just upload a new Back in USSR pack with corect ssc file and a "cel-url" file on my site celestiasws.free.fr

Some textures are modified and a new soyuz-lok on the moon.

I will have a look on my models this monday to reajust them.

Linuxman

Two suggestions:

1. Provide Cel URLs in an HTML file. Individual URLs could look like this:

You don't need to include all the other information that is needed on a real Web page.

2. If you only update the text files, provide them alone in a separate "patch" zip file. It would be much smaller and faster to download than a complete new release.

One more suggestion Linux@man,

Very nice images in this thread but they are very large. Can I suggest you replace them with thumb-nailed images which will make the thread faster and easier to read.

(For dial-up users it takes so long to load them all, you get sick of waiting.
For broadband users, speed's obviously not an issue, but still could be a couple of megabytes out of your quota every time you re-visit the thread.)

[quote="selden"]Two suggestions:

You can now find cel/url on my site
http://celestiasws.free.fr

Ok to try to use smaller zip files for updates

thanks for all suggestions

You can see little pics of this nice stuffs (remember, it is a beta for this moment) in my cat' where I try to comment them (http://jeam.tag.free.fr/CELESTIAhtml/CelestiaAddons-Spacecrafts-Historiques1.htm for example, and other pages about spacecrafts...) And yes, later, I would also use thumbnails, with more great pics linked, but I have no time to refressh dozains of pics now, sorry Jeam

Just a little one, Linuxman: don't hesitate to ask here some help for the .ssc commands of the numerous vessels you provided. The net references are various, and some provide numerous errors (yes, really!)... so, the little notes I have send to you last hour were a little test to correct/add your first ones, but for perfect accuracy, honestly, you can ask here for completion. Jeam

Thanks jeam for the ssc files.

A new version with lot of correction on models and ssc files is ready on my site:

http://celestiasws.free.fr/

Soyouz 11 and Soyouz 11 module descent, Saliout 1 (firts space station in the world), Saliout 1 + soyouz 11, and Saliout 6 + soyouz 26+soyouz 27

If someone can propose best ssc file: welcome

Sorry for this big pack, for the next time only update pack will be availlable.
