Here's a delightfully nerdy challenge for you geniuses: build a computer (or at least a proof-of-concept) that is Turing-complete in stock KSP (DLC allowed). Here's the wikipedia article on Turing-completeness to get you started: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness. Basically, a computer capable of computing anything commutable.
Numerous games, from Minecraft to Magic the Gathering have proven to be Turing-complete, so I have a question: is KSP? Could you build a complex marble run with mechanical logic gates? Misuse the KAL controller? There are numerous approaches that might work. I'm curious to see what you all come up with!

I'm using a custom joystick made with an Arduino Leonardo. But wait! I'm pretty sure it's not causing the issue! When I open up windows game controller settings, I can see the troublesome axis (throttle) is being detected. I have also confirmed that it works in other games. However, it is not being detected within KSP. I have tried binding throttle to pitch, and it works just fine. When I try to bind throttle to the actual throttle, the game simply doesn't detect it. I've tried editing settings.cfg to the axis (axis 7) that the throttle shows up as in other programs, but it still doesn't work. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Apologies for the delay. Far too many things contending for my far too limited time.
I was unable to spot anything in your log from a quick keyword search. I will be reviewing it in more depth over the next few days to try and see if there is any cause stated in the log.
I have a feeling though that it is going to come down to the graphics chipset you are using not supporting the feature (even though spec-sheets say it should...wonderful Intel gfx...)
's fine. Yeah... good ol' laptops suck at gaming! Kinda annoying. Thanks for all the help!

In case you don't want to have to go through all the work modeling the parts, here's a .mu importer for Blender. I don't know what sort of IP this would or wouldn't violate, but, since Blender is free, you could just use it as an import program.
-
Just finished testing that per Electrocutor's reply. No change, it's still not reflecting anything. You want a third log?
-
Tried a clean install; still no results. I couldn't figure out how to get it into dx11 mode; Command Prompt was giving me errors every time I tried to run the commands. Here's the new log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/et1ya0sbx0esxgw/KSP.log?dl=0
And the screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/atselsby04cm8xg/screenshot178.png?dl=0

I only have the one MM installed! And I'm waiting until it updates to reinstall far!! Unless the log is cumulative...? Sorry, I didn't see that request for the KSP.log. Anyways, here's the log you requested: https://www.dropbox.com/s/et1ya0sbx0esxgw/KSP.log?dl=0

I think I was still getting this when I briefly tried it in 1.3. Maybe it's my crap Intel integrated graphics?
-
The issue arises with both stock and the porkjet parts. And Shadowmage, I have realized that there are two possibilites; 1: I am an idiot. 2: I can't read. Anyways, here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dfws0kqx0hov7nu/output_log.txt?dl=0

Back from dinner. Sorry for the delay. I'm not using any of the mods you listed (or any other graphics mod at all). How should I upload the log without freezing up my browser? It's 3.6 meg.
-
No avail. Do you want a log file or something?
-
I should be using Electrocutor's patch, for both stock and Porkjet's Overhaul. I'll try your fix and see if it works. Thanks!
P.S. Just to clarify, the configs for the patches should just be in the GameData directory? Or is there somewhere within TU itself?
-
I don't know if this is a matter of mis-installation, but I'm trying out the stock part conversion, and all the parts affected are extremely dark. They seem to be shaded properly, just too dark. Also, I have a TON of mods installed, it could be an incompatibility. I'm using game version 1.4.1.

Is there any way of using another language with this mod? Perhaps c# or c++? Or at that point would it be better just to learn how to write my own autopilot mod? Thanks!

Buggedt Aerospace presents... the J4NK37-A5S Regional Jet!
Here at Buggedt Aerospace, we strive to provide our customers with the cheapest, safest, and easiest to fly aircraft we can! Our new submission for a regional jet, the J4NK37-A5S, follows this perfectly! With a long range, high speed, and low cost, this bird will gain your airline billions in profits!
Technical specs:
- Cost: 19,978,000 funds
- Fuel: 1,160 KAL
- Cruising Speed: 320 m/s
- Cruising Altitude: 2 - 3 KM (2,000 - 3,000 m)
- Fuel Consumption: 0.16 KAL/sec
- Range: 2,320 KM
Flight Instructions:
Throttle to 100% with the built-in stabilization systems enabled. Activate the main engine. Begin pitching up at 40 m/s, the aircraft will take off at 55. Climb at a 10 degree angle until cruising altitude is reached. Pitch to zero degrees, adjust trim as needed, and let the craft accelerate. Reduce throttle before trans-sonic effects begin.

So it's not doing anything when you sweep AoA or mach? Are you using KSP 1.3 or 1.4?
-
I'm confused as to what you mean. Are you saying that the Sweep AoA button gave you graphs, but not the mach sweep or the stability derivatives or simulation?

Well, Maybe it's just me that doesn't know how to handle this mod, but it seems like I can't get any results out of this
I'm trying to get data for my lander, that looks like this:
And when I use FAR, this is what I get:
As you can see (not much, but still a little), the velocity vector is upside down, so I tried inputting 180 in pitch, but it gets stuck at 1.
So... Am I doing something wrong? Or does the stability just not work for landers, but just planes?
Uhh... stupid question, but did you hit "Sweep AoA"?
-
Definitely FMRS - creating re-usable stages is one of my favorite things to do in-game!
-
-
Are difficulty-adding mods allowed? I.E. Principia, FAR, and Kerbalism?
-
Does anyone here know how to fix the Moho/Disk thing? I can't seem to find it in the file system.
-
Don't know if this has been mentioned already, but have an idea for a variant of this challenge: A FAR version.

I'd say AND, OR, and NOT (or go with a NAND so you just need one gate) and some proof-of-concept of randomly-accessible memory (probably just a flip-flop or something) or some equivalent would qualify. Obviously I'd love to see a functional computer though.
