LMAO, you're right. Kicking commenced. I didn't think about that at all. I'll do a quick test to confirm everything works, I'm sure it will now. Thanks for your help, glad it was such an easy fix.

Ah, ok. Awesome, thanks for testing, hope we can get to the bottom of this.

Yes, I realize that the force required is how much force is required to do the jump. I've understood that from the beginning. (Not being rude, just want you to know we're on the same page). But the maxGeneratorForce is how much force the drive can produce, correct? Because if the force required is 250000, and I set the maxGeneratorForce to 750000, that should have given me way more than the required force to complete the jump in question, right? Here is the craft file: https://kerbalx.com/download/craft/23611 (I made it big and bulky intentionally, its nothing more than just to test the FTL. I wanted it to be large so it would increase the force required, so I could test to see if the force generated would have any affect) As far as the log goes, it is most certainly the complete player.log file found in ~/.config/unity3d/SQUAD/Kerbal Launcher. As I mentioned in the other post, ~/.config/unity3d/SQUAD/Kerbal Space Program doesn't exist.

@linuxgurugamer Here is the log before I edited maxGeneratorForce in /GameData/FTLDriveContinued/Parts/FTLDriveS2/FTLDriveLarge.cfg. (It was set at the defualt of 2500 in the cfg) Here is the log after I edited maxGeneratorForce in the same cfg (I set it to 750000, and yes, I closed and re-loaded the game after changing the config befor getting the next log). Which should be more than enough to give me 100% success, but its the same problem as my original post, the change I make in the .cfg doesn't reflect anything in-game. (Except to change the text showing it has a max force of 750000, but that doesn't affect the jump calculations at all) Noticed your reply while I was writing this post. That's because the log is 70.7kb with 1512 lines. (Checked it on my PC just now) so the pastebin link I gave you was a complete log. Again, thanks for your assistance.

I did post the full log. Selected all, copied, pasted into pastebin. As I said in my other post, I think you were looking for another log. But the one you requested wasn't there. That was the only player.log in ~/.config/unity3d/Squad/ Also, I used hyper edit for testing, I noticed the forced required changed the further I got from the planet, but my max force generated did not. (Even though I changed it in the .cfg.) I will update the mod and paste the new log as you requested in a few minutes. Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04. KSP 1.2.2, and the latest version of this mod. I looked in the location you specified, but there is no "Kerbal Space Program" directory under ~/.config/unity3d/Squad. Only "Kerbal Launcher" There is a player.log file in that directory, here it is: http://pastebin.com/0kC3ywsj I hope that helps. Thanks again

@linuxgurugamer I'm having the same problem editing the .cfg as others here have had. I don't see a resolution. For example, I tried to increase the maxGeneratorForce in /GameData/FTLDriveContinued/Parts/FTLDriveS2/FTLDriveLarge.cfg. I increased the value to 750000 for testing purposes. I just did a test jump. The required force was around 250000iN. Even with the edited config, it had a 0.1% success rate. While the drive was spooling up, I noticed it only reached 2500iN (the default in the .cfg I edited, which should have been changed). I obviously exploded because the maxGeneratorForce was not recognized by the part in-game after editing the .cfg. Is the maxGeneratorForce hard-coded into the .dll? I assume that's the case. After editing the .cfg, the part displays 750000iN in-game, but that only seems to be a reflection of the text I changed, not the actual function of the drive. Is there anyway to actually change the maxGeneratorForce thas has an effect on jumps? Also, I saw you were upset a few posts back about not adding any logs. If you think a log would be helpful, just let me know which one you require, and I will add it. But I don't see it helping right now since I've described the issue pretty clearly. Thanks

Awesome, updated much sooner than I expected. Thanks again for your hard work

Does the current version work with KSP 1.2.2?

Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give it a go for now, doesn't seem like the bugs will cause any game-breaking issues.

Is the current version compatible with KSP 1.2.2?

I think it does require a TEG since it is set to only receive thermal power. I need electrical power, so I would need to convert the thermal beamed power to electrical power. But that brings me around to another question. I have a transmistter attached to my power station. The power station has a generator converting thermal energy to electric. Its being sent on ka-band microwave. Is it transmitting thermal or electrical?

I'll quote myself so you know the problem I was having and where I am now. I think I understand the reason for my relays not working correctly. The spot size of the microwave beam is too large for my relays. (I think. I included distances and the transmitters/receivers I'm using in the quoted post so you can see if I'm correct.) If I am correct, that would mean that I would need to decrease the spot size. Either by using a shorter wavelenght and/or reducing the transmit aperature. But that brings me to another question. I know the spot size has to be smaller than the receiver diameter. So if I had a 5m receiver with a spot size of like 0.05m, according to the wiki it should receive the full transmission power. But that doesn't make much sense, so I think I'm getting something mixed up. It also mentions distance. It says it will receive less power the further it is from the transmitter, but I can't see a way to calculate that. How does distance affect the power received? And does a very small spot size have any affect on the power received? Thanks

My problem with time warping engines is now solved. It seems it was a conflict with another mod, which was caused by my own configs. But now I'm trying to learn about beam power. Most of what I've learned came from the KSPI-E github wiki. But it seems alot of the info there is outdated and/or incomplete. I've learned a bit from this thread as well. For example, I had the same problem as facloon with the Dual Mode Thermal Sphere Receiver. It wouldn't receive any power. But now I understand it requires a TEG (I'll have to research that a bit more to see what it is) to work. Right now I have 5 probes in orbit. One is a power station with an antimatter reactor and electric generator. The other 4 are relays. All 5 probes use the Phased Array Microwave Tranceiver. The power station is set to transmit, the relays are set to relay. (From my understanding, size and position don't matter when transmitting or relaying) When I send a test probe up with a receiver (again a Phased Array Microwave Tranceiver) and a plasma engine, it seems to be able to receive a bit of power. When I "point" the receiver to the power station probe, it receives about 750MW of power. (it should be able to receive 1-3GW, I can't figure out why it isn't receiving the full amount.) When I point the receiver at one of the relays, it only receives about 25MW of power. That's another thing I can't understand, shouldn't my relays be able to relay roughly the same power as the power station transmits? All of this is happening pretty close to kerbin, so I don't see distance being an issue. (Power station is at 85km, relays are at 240km, and test probe with receiver is at 100km.) All of that brings me around to my biggest issue: not knowing where to look for info. On the github wiki there seem to be 2 seperate systems for beaming power. There is the Beamed Power page and the Microwave Power Transceivers page. I haven't been able to make much sense of the Beamed Power page, it seems like beaming power with Microwaves is an older (and easier to use) system. But I'm kind of confused as to why both systems are included in the mod of that's the case. Does anyone know of a more detailed/accurate/up-to-date source of information? All of the other videos and tutorials seem to be quite old, don't talk about beamed power, or offer very little information. Thanks

As mentioned in the post above this one, I originally tried it with the VASMIR, and then tried again with the magnetic nozzle as suggested by Nansuchao. The result was the same, I am unable to enter time warp with the thrust above 0 or enable it while time warp is active. And neither engine provides any thrust for me while at time warp.
