  1. In your pic the currently active stage has no active engines in it, so...
  2. @SamBelanger Thread is eight months old, please watch for the little warning that the thread is quite old when making a post to prevent bumping old threads where the conversation is long dead. Closed.
  3. My guess would be add-on releases, it's by far the most active section of the forum and many people create an account just to ask a question or provide feedback there.
  4. You have to host your images somewhere other than the forum. Imgur.com is popular but by no means the only option. Once hosted get the URL for the image itself (must end in .jpg, .png, .gif, etc) and paste it into a post and it will embed automatically.
  5. My understanding is runway ramps slope downward, not upward. Outside of a few edge cases like STOL carriers and airstrips meant to train for them.
  6. Workaround button removed since this seems to be working now.
  7. You can't check IPs without tracking them. By nature you have to record the IPs to check against.
  8. https://www.dropbox.com/s/owde581dj1o4pcv/SSTLR4.craft?dl=0 This was made in 1.0.4, so some things may have changed a bit. It's also pretty difficult to get to orbit in the first place as it struggles to break the sound barrier.
  9. Not particularly. I would recuse myself from moderating a thread in which I'm an active participant as a matter of course.
  10. Being a mod has nothing to do with it. I am a player and community member first, and I think the point I am trying to make about tone of posts is an important one. I am not upset by this at all, it would take far more than that. Not sure how my posts here are not "upstanding" in your eyes, but at any rate I'm not going to avoid sharing my thoughts because I help moderate the forum.
  11. Point to the foul language in my post, I'll wait. On this point we are at last in agreement. This is where we started talking past each other I think, as my original post that you seemed to find so objectionable merely asked whether the poster thought this course of action would lead to more developer communication or less. I made no judgement about whether being rude was justified or not, just that it is not productive.
  12. Your strawman was constructed here, when you replied to my post responding to another person by asking a question and painted it as if I were saying that I think people should be obligated to buy rotten produce. Which is not what I said or implied. Be rude if you like, I have not said that you can't. I am saying that it is counterproductive to the goal of better/more communication with the people to which you seem to want to be rude. I guess you need to decide which is more important to you: Venting angst at developers or having a meaningful interchange with them. It doesn't matter how justified you feel the rudeness is, the fact of the matter is that it discourages further communication. For what it's worth this is not a phenomenon unique to the console part of the KSP community. In the early days of KSP the developers were frequent participants here on the forum, kicking around ideas and discussing feedback with players. As the community grew that changed, as people started taking every offhand comment as a gold plated promise, being insulting and non-constructive in feedback; generally just making the forum an environment that did not encourage the devs to speak at all. So they mostly stopped, and now instead of banter and an inside look at how the game is developed we get carefully phrased developer notes that have probably passed through PR and legal departments before going public. To some degree I think this effect is inevitable as a community grows beyond a certain size, as the audience grows the Greater Internet <curse>wad Theory* becomes more and more relevant. Can't believe I have to straight-facedly argue that being rude is not a good thing. *This is one of the times when I wish I could link adult content here, but look for a Penny Arcade comic entitled "Green Blackboards (And Other Anomalies)" and you'll find what I'm talking about. John Gabriel's observation that "normal person + anonymity + audience = antisocial behavior" is as true today as when he posited it thirteen years ago, sadly.
  13. The solution is neither rigorous nor complete, just a least-bad implementation. Multiplayer time warp is and will always be: Sync issues or waiting, choose one. That said, I don't think it's a deal breaker that would prevent a MP KSP implementation. We put up with a lot of quirks in KSP, a few in MP would not be a big deal. I would likely never play multiplayer, but it seems to be one of those ideas that is constantly in demand so I guess it could be successful.
  14. Welcome aboard! Just have steam validate your files or copy physics.cfg out of the zip file for KSP.
  15. I'm not sure what you're playing at here but don't do it again. Closed.
  16. Just checking in on this issue, I was able to paste an album URL into a post and it embedded automagically. Is anyone still having trouble with it?
  17. You can do SSTO to Laythe and back without refueling.
  18. Two ways: 1. Change the settings to require the part to enable KER, place the part on the craft when building and remove it before flight. 2. Don't click the icon in flight.
  19. Some posts have been trimmed, don't make personal attacks please.
  20. You seem to have misconstrued who I am and what I do. I do not represent Squad aside from helping moderate the forum. I am a player and customer, too. Quit attempting to put words in my mouth, I said nothing about any of that. Nor did I say that. I said it is common sense to understand that being rude discourages people from interacting. This should be self evident. Wow you really showed that strawman who's boss! If I had made any of those arguments or said any of those things I would feel like you had taken me apart completely! Thankfully I didn't and I don't. Do I think console users should have a working game? Of course I do. Do I think it's the players' fault? Of course not, no thinking person would feel that way. Do I think console players have been treated with disdain? Not particularly. I don't think Squad is any happier than the players that the update has taken as long as it has, and judging by the change of porting partners I can infer that the development process has not been as smooth as they would have liked. Disdain would be cutting their losses and abandoning it altogether. It seems to me it doesn't really matter what or how much Squad says about the progress on the console fix, the only thing that will satisfy is a working update. From what they say they are working on it, but that doesn't put a game in players' hands yet.
  21. First, you have bought nothing from me. Second, that is a rather large strawman you have constructed, as I am not suggesting you buy anything or not. I am suggesting that being hostile to the developers when they communicate with the community discourages further communication, nothing more than that. This should be plainly obvious to anyone with common sense. You want more/better communication with the devs? Maybe it's not such a good idea to be rude with them when they do show up here, as that actively discourages it.
