    Sandbox Career "guide"

    in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas

    Posted · Edited by Slye37
    Format cleanup

    I've always played career mode only since it came out but I've grown tired of the same grind to get to where I want to be and I never seems to get there. So I've decided to start a sandbox game instead but I miss the objectives and structure aspect of career mode. So I've made this "guide" to help me stay on target with my vision of my space program. I thought I might share it with you guys in case someone else was looking for something similar.

    [1.10.1+] Contract Configurator [v1.30.5] [2020-10-05]

    in KSP1 Mod Releases

    Posted · Edited by Slye37

    I must be blind, I've been looking through the settings for half an hour and can't seem to find anything related to contract configurator at all. Where exactly has it been moved? Also, is it possible this mods interfeers with the stock and blizzy toolbar? I lost the [x]science button from the stock toolbar and the blizzi one dissapered completely.

    [WIP] [1.2.1] [2.0.4] Stock Size Real Solar System

    in KSP1 Mod Development

    Posted · Edited by Slye37

    Is anybody else getting on a black screen instead of the main menu after updating kopernicus for 1.1.3?

    -I have a new KSP install of 1.1.3

    -the new version of SSRSS as my only mod

    -new version of kopernicus for 1.1.3

    Before updating kopernicus I get the to the main menu without any problems but the rss textures aren't there. After updating kopernicus i get the black screen.

     I get the same result if i start with a new install, add kopernicus 1.1.3, still working fine there, but as soon as I add SSRSS i get the black screen.
