When your own ideas and efforts pay off with something new and beautiful — living, flying beauty from your own imagination — there is nothing better in all of simming/gaming.

Even if using procedural wings or some other option, you still need to remove the ModuleLiftingSurface from the flat-bottom fuselage pieces. Easy enough to do that much, but still... no FAR patch for the body flap and elevons? I gotta believe that somebody before me has wanted this.

Are my search skills failing me, or is there really no FAR patch for this orbiter?

I've thought I would like to have a visual representation of pipes and wiring harnesses, showing how various components are run. Sounds like your proposed mod would work for that, if desired. So that's cool.

Hey, nice update! I was kinda "meh" about the auto-categorize feature, since my naming schemes are all over the place and may or may not follow coherent rules for any given series of launches. But manually setting vehicle type in the editor sounds great.

Having sampled many many scales, I've gradually developed a custom config with multiple mixed scales. It's based on OPM, with all planetary distances at 6.4x. Kerbin and most rocky bodies are 3.2x, since I find that works very well with stock and stockalike parts; rockets look very rocket-like, SSTOs are just tricky enough, piloting a spaceplane through reentry takes just long enough to be interesting, it's reasonable to fly a mach 6 plane to the other side of Kerbin in one sitting, and there's an absolute minimum of fussing with part configurations. Itty bitty potato moons are typically left at stock size. Some other moons are 2x. Gas giants are 6.4x, so they appear reasonably bigger than the moons. Kerbin's day is 24 hours, and the sun's gravity is tuned to make Kerbin's year 365 days long. The whole system has RSS-like inclined orbits. I relocated KSC to a coastline in the southern hemisphere, just close enough to the equator to make launches direct to either the Mün's or Minmus' inclination. It's a lot of fun.

It's a little bit awkward to do, but you can open each craft's cfg in Kerbalism's menu and click on the green checkmark by "show links" to turn off the green lines. It's the same place to configure what messages pop up. I like to leave one or two dedicated commsats' links visible, and turn everything else off for that particular moon/planet.

Bummer. I should have remembered about this. Just docked an exceptionally cool cryogenically fueled spaceplane to my station, focused on another satellite for a few hours, and killed another crew. Very sad.

Is there a way to set the default behavior to do not give a message for signal lost and signal regained? The other messages are useful to me and I want to continue to see them, but it's slightly annoying to have to remember to turn off the signal messages for every single probe.

I really like the looks of @Zasnold's grid design, but I don't like the stock colors. Now I'm considering trying to imitate the design, but with black background and high-contrast colored grid.

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. This was one of my most essential mods for so long, it's been painful using the stock navball recently.

I am also experiencing the disappearing / reappearing contracts, only this mod seems affected. One thing I noticed that hasn't been reported, is that the contracts rapidly change between one, two, or three stars as they blink in and out. I have no idea if that's relevant; I can only hope it helps somehow.

Better yet, one of those simple 2D gravity games where you try to make cool orbits with little polka dots.
