@Geonovast I tried it in a live environment of Mint and got the exact same issue that I could solve in the exact same way.

I just received a last mail from them advising me to use the following command: dos2unix -f *.sh This finally worked. I really had to insist in order to get them (three different person) to admit that the issue is probably not the fact that I'm using an Arch based install. To summarize, if you need to install an old KSP version from GoG, write to the support, and, if needed, use the command on top of this post. This is due to the fact that the file might be uploaded from a windows machine which can cause some incompatibility issue. (I'm no specialist so if someone is wil

The support of GoG told me it is probably because of an incompatibility with Arch based Linux distros. Even if the 1.8.1 from GoG works on both my installs, and the 1.7.3 from Steam works on both my installs. This makes absolutely no sense.

Once I did: chmod +x on the install .sh file. I tried those two: (base) [[email protected] Desktop]$ sudo bash kerbal_space_program_1_7_3_02594_30887.sh [sudo] password for thomot512: kerbal_space_program_1_7_3_02594_30887.sh: line 14: $'\r': command not found : octal number out of range02594_30887.sh: line 15: umask: 077 kerbal_space_program_1_7_3_02594_30887.sh: line 16: $'\r': command not found kerbal_space_program_1_7_3_02594_30887.sh: line 20: $'\r': command not found kerbal_space_program_1_7_3_02594_30887.sh: line 29: $'\r': command not found kerbal_space_program_

Well, I just tried to install the game with the files they sent me, and I get some error. Impossible to install the game. I tried with the 1.8.1, and there everything goes well. I tried writing them, and they try to pin this on the distros I'm using, Manjaro and RebornOS, which are both Arch based. I will keep this up to date.

After almost a week without any news. I received an E-Mail from the GoG support giving me direct link in order to download the .sh files. They uploaded the on a temporary FTP. That means the only way is to ask the support.

I was just notified that someone is looking into my issue from the support. I'll tell you what is their answer.

Hi everyone, I know that this question has already been asked for Windows users, but I know how to download older version of the game on windows, both with Steam and the launcher of Galaxy of Gaming. The problem is that on Linux there is no Launcher for GoG and on the website I have not managed to download the 1.7.3. (I like to play RP-1) I could do it on Steam, but on steam I do not own the extensions. I tried with Lutris, and the website. No luck so far. I asked this question on the Lutris forum last week, no answer. I just asked this question on the customer support of G

Aw... To be honest that is really a hype killer. I'm really disappointed.

To be honest I think I'll buy it day one whatever happens, but I would be really disappointed if they did not improve the aerodynamic to a level near the one of Ferram Aerospace. The vanilla aerodynamic is extremely counter-intuitive. It would be a big bummer to have to wait for someone to create a mode for this when it clearly should be vanilla.

Totally agree.

OMG! Thanks! One of the most useful mod!

Oh, sad to hear it, your engines are really beautiful. Thanks for all the work you've already done. I wish you all the best.

At first I really believed it was an April fool joke, but I'm starting to wonder if it isn't real. It would really be a shame.

I was looking at the configs files to see if I was able to understand, and I took an engine that is in RealEngines and FASA, the AJ-10 137 for comparison and took a look between the Stockalike and RO config. In the RO config for RealEngine : @mass = 0.295 (which seems consistent with the 295kg i found on the Internet for this engine) In the RO config for FASA : @mass = 0.650 In the Stockalike config for FASA : @mass = 0.385 The same with trust curve, and others. Let's be honest I really don't understand how all of this work. So sorry but no I'm not volunteering. I'm going t
