bulletrhli Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Crash to desktop at the end of loading is most commonly caused by out of memory - especially if you just added a big mod such as Interstellar.Do you use any texture memory reduction method, such as Active Texture Management?Yes, I have it, and even without it I do not have a memory error. Without the DOE mod KSP ran just fine with ISM but as soon as DOE is introduced it crashes. If it was a memory issue it would have given me a hint of that in the error log but no such error was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrGeneral Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I decided to take a long distance shot, and got a pretty nice view of all the planets.The dark spot in front of the Sun is indeed Moho.Unfortunately most of my ships have decided that they want to either be nonexistent or stuck underground now, but I hope that's not the fault of this mod.

kristianj99 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Some debris started falling through the terrain when I switched vessels earlier, not sure whether that's the mods fault though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOARdV Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I got some flight time in this weekend, and I really had a chance to see this in action. Seeing the glint of one of a space station I was chasing down was the clincher, although being able to distinguish Eve as well as Gilly on my moderate-zoom docking camera was a treat.

erkha343 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 So I've found a bug and was wondering if anyone else has run into it. Whenever I go to launch a spaceplane or rocket, a small solar panel spawns besides the craft. It's indestructible and cannot be removed from the config, if I manage to liftoff without exploding on the launchpad it will spawn in front of the spacecraft destroying it on impact. The bug disappears when I remove distant objects, all other mods work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAnonymous Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Is this mod worth downloading now or should I wait until all the bugs are fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber Ducky Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Is this mod worth downloading now or should I wait until all the bugs are fixed?There's a patch coming soon (couple of days maybe?), which will fix a lot of stuff. That said, the current build is stable enough, unless you go into the settings file and enable distant vessel rendering.Also, are there some people here that wouldn't mind helping me test the next build? I think I've fixed the ship-eating error for good, but I can't really know for sure. There's also some cool new features that I'm rather excited about -- I'll get more specific on that later. Feel free to PM me if you're interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much, much easier to do private testing, as I can have one-on-one correspondence, and everybody knows for sure that these builds are unstable. Again, feel totally free to send me a PM if you want to help test the build, the more testers the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlecat Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just confirming that the "crashing into a panel at 33000 meters" bug is gone after 1.2 I wouldn't have time to do much testing, but I look forward to any tweaks to allow us to see craft from far off. The planets being visible in the night sky alone is worth the price of admission, though. Just had a great view of most of the planets from the KSC runway just before dawn. Of course I forgot to take a screen capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatsauce Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 This is pretty damn cool. Can you make near objects 'glow' or provide some point light source; to simulate what we can see as a satellite passes overhead in sunlight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaras Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Is that even possible to see in real life?Yes. It helps if you are far away from any city lights, which is getting increasingly difficult... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trann Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Is that even possible to see in real life?Definitely. Check out heavens-above.com and their link for Iridium flares.

Motokid600 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Oh, yea if you ever happen to see the ISS pass over its bright enough to cast a shadow.. not kidding lol. Never seen a flare... But I see a dozen satellites pass over every night I'm out with my telescope. ( I usually setup around sunset so they start coming out by time I'm done ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trann Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Caught the ISS followed by Discovery one night. Truly awe inspiring. /tangent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrGeneral Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The ISS can easily outshine any star in the sky- it's pretty spectacular.On a mod related note, could you make solar panels a factor in how bright something is? They're pretty reflective and I think they would make a difference- more solar panels = brighter dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
