1.0.1 is already out, as of a couple hours ago.  fyi.

Does this mean that the current 10x Kerbol mod works with the latest kopernicus in KSp 1.1?

I haven;t tried 10x but the version of 64k meant for 1.0.5 is working for me.

[jsimmons]

Sorry about the delay of the release. Currently I'm finding that the latest KSP 1.1.2 version is not very stable on linux platforms. I'm seeing lots of

RenderTexture.Create failed: requested size is too large.

 

[ERR 12:58:18.966] HighlightingSystem : UpdateHighlightingBuffer() : Failed to create highlightingBuffer RenderTexture!

 

Also for the case of the 1 in 20 start up attempts that KSP does starting running no fonts show up. I have tried the various

work arounds but those haven't worked for me. So sorry I haven't been able to get this out. I hope this issues will be resolved soon.

Turn PPFX off?

Will that help with the missing font issue? As for the other problem I found work arounds in the linux compatibility thread. It appears Unity 5.2 doesn't know how to query the screen resolutions so it get confused and sets the resolutions to things like 1920x0. So you have to go into the Pref file and manually set it. Still have the missing fonts but I managed to test this mode with out them. I found the missing font issues to be a common problem. Sigh.

Hello folks.

    Release 6.1.0 has been released. If you plan to use the visual enhancements you will need to use Scatter 0.0245 since earlier version has the ocean rebuild problems. Also EVE 1.1 is needed as well if you want clouds. As for features its  at the same level as the previous release. Just with newer versions of everything. Enjoy.

[NathanKell]

Ah, no, I saw the render texture and the highlighter stuff. Doubt it'll help fonts, sorry.

[jsimmons]

Time to report on a update of what I'm working on. The next update will need the latest version of Eve. I addd some tweaks posted in the Eve form to make the clouds look a lot more real. Also looking at changing Kerbin surface textures to match closer to what RVE uses. This can be done with Kopernicus but I discovered using this exposes a bug in the Scatter mod. I also will added small improvements to the rim handling for Kerbin as well.

Yeah I have had no luck fixing that problem

[jsimmons]

Nathan I have one question that you most likely know the answer. Is their a way to know the terrain altitude above sea level based on the coordinates on a planet? I see normally mods use the ActiveVessel altitude to determine distance above the terrain. In this case I like to be able to determine this based on a global position instead. Is this possible? 

[NathanKell]

Yeah, you can ask the pqscontroller what the terrain altitude is at a given location. Forget the exact syntax tho.

Found it. This is a idea for EVE at this time.

      Vector3d rad = new Vector3d (Math.Cos (lat) * Math.Cos (lon) , Math.Sin (lat) , Math.Cos (lat) * Math.Sin (lon));
        double elevation = b.pqsController.GetSurfaceHeight (rad) - b.pqsController.radius;

[jsimmons]

Here is a short video of my latest work. Waiting until the next version of EVE is release to release this.

Latest 10xKerbol test

[jsimmons]

New 6.2.0 release. Didn't wait for the next EVE release so if you want pretty clouds you need the latest EVE which is the pre-release 1.1-3 for this to work. This is the eye candy update. Better clouds and we are back to using the RVE terrain textures for Kerbin so it looks so much better.

[Phineas Freak]

@jsimmons just a heads up, the latest (6.2.1.0) version returns a 404 error when you try to download it (previous versions are fine).

On Spacedock. Okay I will look into it.

[Bosun]

Just thought I would try this mod - Is the terrain texture supposed to be lime green?  I think I did something wrong.

[jsimmons]

Lime Green? Can you post a picture please.

[Ali_Army107]

Can Anyone help me to install mods like that?

[PotentiallyHabitable578]

The terrain textures near the ksc looks quite stretched, and I am also getting lime green ground colors. I tweaked with planetshine a bit and the color did fade away a bit(ambient light settings) but it's still relatively lime green. Other than that, this is a really fun mod. Cheers!

 

I actually don't know how to upload screenshots to the forums  I do have some screenshots of it, though.

[Event_Horizon1]

Try to fix this bug: one launch and then the second  launch the game crashes.

[jsimmons]

Sorry I have been busy with work and 1.1.3 didn't work well on my Linux system. Almost finished updated this mod to KSP 1.2.

Still missing KSCSwitcher as well but will not delay the upcoming release.

Hey great work on this mod, however I realized Duna's atmosphere goes all the way until 180-ish kilometres which seems a bit weird.

Is that intentional?

It's not at all weird. Mars has an atmosphere that extends out about that far (I think it's actually more like 150 though)

EDIT: Sadly I'm pretty sure it's off, the atmosphere starts at 200kms and is literally as violent as the stock Eve.

I wouldn't expect a pretty shallow entry, at 4km/s to literally eat up my ablator in a minute or so.

Probably a heat shield issue. The stock shields are configured for smaller planets with slower orbital (and therefore reentry) velocities.

RO or DRE would recalibrate the shields for real sized solar system but neither one is updated for KSP 1.2 yet...
