Program begin in 64-65, first unmanned flight was made at february, 1968. Мanned flight on this craft has not been committed, because american Apollo-8 made its flight before.

This addon won't work with the proton launcher.

The problem was the change of Proton LV Rocket from multistage to propietary DLL. Chameleon, i'll recomend contact Thornton.

:idk:
But how?!

The problem was the change of Proton LV Rocket from multistage to propietary DLL

And how it doesn't work? "Error - blah-blah - see the Orbiter.log"?

contact Thorton

First, I'll try to fix the problem.

 

[Istochnikov]

Well, i'll try to explain you:

You've tested your 7K-L1 in a Multistage library based Proton Launch Vehicle V1.0 by Thornton, true?

Well, i have the Proton Launch Vehicle V1.0 by Thornton and for me, the 7K-L1 worked well.

The problem is if someone uses the Proton Launch Vehicle V2.0 by... ehr... Thornton This version of Proton implies many diferences with the previous versions:

• Completly different mesh hierarchy (first possible cause for the problem: "MESH NOT FOUND")
• A different manner for payload attachment.
• I think that it only will give support to one payload. So, the L1's escape tower could be not supported. Even an Express-M/KazSat stack that i'm developing, should be adjusted to meet the requeriments of the new version of Proton.
• 3 predefined fairings: Proton K/MIR, Proton K/DM3, Proton M/Commercial. I don't know if the Proton K/D-7K-L1 Fairings could be supported by this new version. Previously, and only for fun, i've done a "modern 7K-L1" using CVEL Soyuz TMA and i had to modify the fairing. Now, they're useless.
• The most important. The version 1.0 of Proton Launch Vehicle is not longer available.

For this reasons i've recommend you contact Thornton.

Salut.

3rd stage version can carry only one payload, but 4th stage (with DM and Breeze) could carry up to 3 payloads and custom payload adapter.

3 predefined fairings: Proton K/MIR, Proton K/DM3, Proton M/Commercial. I don't know if the Proton K/D-7K-L1 Fairings could be supported by this new version. Previously, and only for fun, i've done a "modern 7K-L1" using CVEL Soyuz TMA and i had to modify the fairing. Now, they're useless.

Fairing doesn't predefined, you could set any custom fairing mesh and fairing mass.

Hmmm!!! That info could help a lot! I should have read the manual
​

:beathead:
​

... and i believe that Chameleon needs too. Mainly because the scenarios with Proton 2.0 should require a complete redesign to .scn file.

Suggestion to Chamaleon: In addition of your 7K-L1... Why don't try the Podsadka 7K-L1 Mission? It only needs a docking port on 7K-L1...

 

[chameleon]

Proton Launch Vehicle V1.0...worked well.
Proton Launch Vehicle V2.0... implies many diferences.

Oh shi~...:blink:
i didn't read manual of V2.0. And i have both version - more precisely, the second version over the first. And i use multistage2 ini-file from Proton-K-DM - with few changes - delete object 'BOOSTER_1' and 'BOOSTER_2', and add my objects. And, i thought, mod works normally all the rest.

they're useless

All of my fairings for multistage2 rockets is useless:thumbsdown:

Podsadka 7K-L1 Mission

Hm. One docking port to craft, one scenario, and Soyuz-TMA as Soyuz 7K-OK.

the scenarios with Proton 2.0 should require a complete redesign to .scn file

I seeing new Proton structure now... uh h: I think, after tomorrow i will upload updated version. For proton 2.0 and with 'podsadka'.

 

[chameleon]

Oh, :blahblah:
I can't update my addon for Proton 2.0.
Thorton, i'm uploading old version and linked it. Ok? Only for compatibility.

 

[Thorton]

Do you want upload Proton v1 on hangar? I dont give you permission for this.

 

[Istochnikov]

Other solutions before see you fightin' fist-to-fist:

1- Use Velcro for attaching the Fairing and the Escape Tower
2- Pod-sad-ka

Dear Thorton,

Do you want upload Proton v1 on hangar? I dont give you permission for this.

Could You upload it yourself or make it available in another way? If you would be so kind, I declare You a Hero of the Soviet Union.
