    Its kind of up in the air atm.  I want to be able to provide the mod at fully stock scale for those who want it (and even without OPM for those who want just better visuals for the stock system), but I also appreciate not having to rely on Sigma Dimensions as well. 

    Most likely the mod will, as a base, be the stock system at stock scale, and then one can download and install patches to add my eventual take on OPM, and then another to scale the entire system stock+OPM, most likely to something resembling KSRSS. 

    JNSQ has the optional patches for 10x as well. Although honestly I would prefer and highly recommend a native 6.4x rescale mod to this. 6.4x is what I have personally used for years but of course using Sigma Dimensions. I'm kinda disappointed that 6.4x rescale has seemed to fallen out of favor over the years. 6.4x also enables the use of BDB since its built in Bluesmurff patch maxes out at 6.4x. Your excellent work on the stock planets in combination with the BDB parts pack would probably have me in tears of pure blissful joy...

    Well it does confirm the issue being deployment while shielded at least, thanks for testing it.

    As for the other issue, it's also due to the parachutes being changed to RealChuteFAR, the parachute housing is trying to stage the chute and not being able to find it. That stuff's hard coded into the module though, so best I can do is disable that module when FAR is installed. Just means you might need to do more manual staging on aborts.

    Just downgraded FAR to 16.0.5 and the main chute is deploying just fine. So has to be that commit on 16.1.0 you noted earlier.

    Are you both using craft files, instead of building them fresh? There may be an old depreciated version of the chute in the craft file you're using. It should look like this:

    There's also an error from TweakChutes which is bundled in JNSQ, probably trying to patch a chute that's also getting patched to a RealChute module, but that's probably not a big issue.

    Otherwise it might be due to FAR making the parachute think it's fully stowed, so not deploying? Did you try staging the "Landing and control Module" first to pop off the drogue/nosecone? If this is the cause, this patch might help (just put it anywhere in GameData): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-lhPDqaTrjeQtVGR_eb6F418BoEQNd1_/view?usp=sharing

    1. Negative, I'm creating the capsule from scratch and am not loading a craft file

    2. This have never came up in the past and is only a recent occurrence. Since JNSQ hasn't been updated in a year must be (guessing) it has to be something downstream from that.

    3. Yes, nose and drogue cone are always popped off prior to attempting to releasing the main. I loaded the patch provided above and just conducted a test flight. It did not solve the problem. After jettisoning the drogue/nose cone and attempting to deploy the main, the parachute icon in the staging list turns a light blue/tealish color and the pod just burns in. Again, this is recent behavior and I can't figure out which mod updated and is potentially causing this. 

     

    EDIT: Only additional thing I will add is that I am using Sigma Dimensions to rescale the JNSQ worlds to 6.4x size (resize/rescale at 2.4 in the settings). That has never made a difference before but maybe something isn't liking it now?

     

    EDIT 2: I just did a crude test with the Gemini main chute and nose cone with a solid booster, and that main chute deploys just fine.

    The community fixes issue was caused by the BDBNIC textures mod, and was just causing the game to never finish loading, so sounds like a different issue. If you can upload your ksp.log file somewhere (zipped if it’s big) and link it here I can have a look

    It can run without one,  however there are a few issues. 

    New planets added by JNSQ will have no scatter. All surface scatter is used uniformly across working  planets due to how Parallax uses biome names in its blacklists. This is most noticeable on Kerbin where there is no under-sea plant life and icebergs are in all seas.

    I have also seen a few texture issues and floating objects, mainly on steep on slopes.

    Hmm... didn't realize I was 'missing' things. I was so giddy just seeing the grass, flowers, and trees surrounding KSC. When I did a landing on the Mun the new presumably Parallax scatter looked fantastic. But yes, obviously a dedicated JNSQ Parallax patch would be best.

  6. Posting this here for general comment, suggestions, and anyone looking for something similar in the future. I'm completely enthralled with KSP again and am using JNSQ as my base. I'm getting excellent results running the current version of Parallax and even with Sigma Dimensions rescaling to 6.4x. I'm also using PSA's Toast mod for tilting the entire system to Earth-like values. Because of that I've relocated the KSC to a nice little piece of real estate at 28.58N latitude.  I upscaled the system to 6.4x using SigmaDimensions. I only went to 6.4x since I simply cannot play without BDB, and their BlueSmurff patch only is effective to 6.4x.

    My KSC relocation MM patch.

  7. Anyone else having an issue all the sudden with the Hermes (Mercury) main parachute never deploying? It will toggle between Deploy and disarm in the PAW but it will never actually deploy. The drogue chute works fine but the main never deploys. This is a recent change and I can't figure out for the life of me what's causing it.  I'm using the latest pull from Github version of BDB on a JNSQ system rescaled to 6.4x with Sigma Dimensions. Realchute parameters in the VAB look correct. My mod list listed below.

  8. For those running RSS or 10x/10.625x rescales, any advice on best way to use BDB given BlueSmurff only goes up to 6.4x? I've looked on here quite a bit and can't find an amicable solution. I'd like to use JNSQ using their native 10x rescale (no Sigma Dimensions) using BDB with realistically scaled tanks and engine parameters without having to resort to RO/RP1.

  9. @CobaltWolf 

    Have a weird request. I can't get the Blender .mu import tool to work. I was trying to import the antenna models in order to measure the dishes to get an exact, or at least an approximation of their size in order to build RealAntennas configs. RA just needs to know the dish size in meters and does all the math itself.

    Do you know or have a listing of how big the dishes are in BDB? I'm updating them as they come up in my current career and right now up to Gemini. I'm trying to find the real world specs but am having no luck for many, especially some of the probe antennas. For example I was looking at all sorts of JPL documentation from the 60's the other day trying to get the exact size of the Ranger antenna and couldn't find it anywhere. 

    I can't do anything but guess on balance for the omni's, but dishes might be able to be added pretty quickly given that we know the size to the parabolic dish on each model.

    Yes, those stock stations are forcingly inserted by CommNet when the extra station setting is ticked. I cannot prevent this because it was hardcoded in CommNet behaviour. You will have to tick off this setting.

    So if using the commnet subsystem its either all or nothing from the backend code? Well that wasn't very nice of them. I'm guessing other mods like Kerbinside and RealAntennas get around that by effectively replacing the commnet system with their own?

    If you want to relocate KSC, try the following patch.  The numbers given are for the current position, just change them to your new position.  The map decal is the flattened area around the space center.  You will need to relocate both the map decal and the space center.

    EDIT: Alright, I rechecked the math and found I fatfingered the Z value. Looks to be working fine now.  Here are the values I used. I didn't touch the ASL values yet though.
