[1.1] AFBW v1.7-beta (Joystick & controller mod)
birdspider replied to nlight's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
hi, after mistakenly using ckan's windows version of AFBW on linux, I installed the linux one but (in contrast to the windows one - in linux) the settings icon does not appear. does the extracted (snipped) log help? Also I made sure to have libSDL2 installed. Just out of curiosity: I need the 64bit variant of libSDL2 for KSP.x86_64- right? (that is: I do not need the lib32-libSDL2 one ?) -
[1.3.1][Kopernicus] Uncharted Lands v0.5.4 [26Dec17]
birdspider replied to KillAshley's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
how is it seeded ? some sort of default seed or is every new game different or do I missunderstand the concept ? -

Hello, I can't seem to find doc on the various slider controls in the wing context menu. (Pitch,.., AoA%,) 1) are those from FAR ?, 2) can someone point me to a wiki/doc where those are explained ?- 14,073 replies

Do you feel KSP is ready for 1.0?
birdspider replied to hoojiwana's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
then again most AAA 32 bit games handle their memory more efficently, therefore have not need for x64 - contrary to KSP -
Flickering shadows
birdspider replied to TeeGee's topic in KSP1 Technical Support (PC, modded installs)
archlinux - so linux 3.17 and mesa 10.3.2 - afaik as up to date as you can get without [testing] EDIT: I just read that KVV might me the cuplrit ( in the post with the picture ) - I will try this with KVV removed -
While building a 0.65 m (tiny) sattelit with attila engine, I found out that there is no (tiny-small) LiquidF-Only tank (no oxydizer) in my mod setup. Does anyone know a mod which provides one one? I thought about copying/edititing the Toroidal Fuel Tank to come as a LF-only version, but before I do that I want to get some feedback if maybe there is a mod out there that has what I need.

wow, I'm not the only one (yay) - I too experience this issue (linux x64/radeon though) - exactly like Batz_10K's screenshot -

Because I didn't know and someone may look for this bit of info: add GALLIUM_HUD=fps to you command and measure fps like a pro (mesa 9.2 upwards) -

IFF you have an ati card and use the radeon driver unter linux. Either in grub while the system is starting - press 'e' on the start-menu-list-entry - this brings up a simple editor - in the kernel line I think add (write) radeon.pcie_gen2=1 - press 'b' to boot that. Or to make the change persistent so you don't have to do it every time. Change the same line somwhere in /boot/grub/<whatever>.cfg. I can't give you the exact wording because I dont use grub. But these steps should more or less take you there. The modinfo and modparams stuff is just to check what the current/default value of radeon.pcie_gen2 is. Just "cat /sys/module/radeon/parameters/pcie_gen2" in an termial to show what the parameter currently is. EDIT: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_parameters -

Hello, I was mucking around with KSP recently because I wasn't satisfied with the games performance (I seemed that something was wrong). That is I tracked cpu usage and stuff and things didn't seem to fit. (60% one core only, while having yellow time at lauchpad). I tried http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/59005-0-23-Release-2-15-Active-Texture-Management-Save-RAM-without-reduction-packs! and various linux tweaks and finaly reached out for the radeon.* kernel-mod parameters. First of all I wanted to see what was enabled: modinfo -p radeon ... well I didn't see exactly what was enabled so I found a script (see below). EDIT(this should also work: cat /sys/module/radeon/parameters/pcie_gen2)/EDIT The param of interest was radeon.pcie_gen2 which was set to -1 which seems to mean "auto", whatever that means. This param is well known and not knew, I just assumed that it would be 1 by default these days. I added radeon.pcie_gen2=1 to my bootloaders kernel-line (options root=/dev/sda4 rw radeon.dpm=1 radeon.pcie_gen2=1 in my case). You can add this in grub by pushing 'e' in your boot menu, change the line and then 'b' to boot. To make it persistent add it to your bootloader(grub,lilo,syslinux,gummiboot or whatever) This made a difference. I can now have smooth shadow (32 shadow cascades, 32 pixel light source) and green time text. Maybe this is useful for someone. [birdspider@blackbox bin]$ cat modparams #!/usr/bin/env sh module="$1" echo "Module: $module"; \ if [ -d "/sys/module/$module/parameters" ]; then \ ls /sys/module/$module/parameters/ | while read parameter; do \ echo -n "Parameter: $parameter --> "; \ cat /sys/module/$module/parameters/$parameter; \ done; \ fi; \ echo; \ [birdspider@blackbox bin]$ ./modparams radeon Module: radeon <snip> Parameter: msi --> -1 Parameter: no_wb --> 0 Parameter: pcie_gen2 --> 1 <------------------------------------- Parameter: r4xx_atom --> 0 <snip> Things I also tried: LC_ALL=C R600_HYPERZ=1 R600_STREAMOUT=1 R600_SURF=1 R600_TILING=1 R600_GLSL130=1 ./KSP.x86_64 see: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon#Tuning which didn't seem to do anything.

The Linux compatibility thread!
birdspider replied to sal_vager's topic in KSP1 Technical Support (PC, unmodded installs)
Hello, 0.23 with a bunch of mods runs fine for me, that is archlinux 64, ati HD 6850 - radeon driver, KSP.x86_64. Now that it it works I have a last issue with the shadows. It's not game-breaking just frustrating when I see other peoples videos with perfect shadows. Here is an extreme example of it but there are less invasive occurences. It is most annoying when I do a landing manouver and the shadow which is always helpful while landing is a fuzzy blob which little resemblence to the craft. Also self shadows are obviously ugly. Has anyone encountered something like this before. I'm not even sure how to call it. Googling for 'shadow flicker' and stuff didn't help much. -

Can you be more specific ? Orbit of which planet ? Lag as in 'low fps' or 'stutter spikes'? What are 'almost full graphic options' - you did not put the light count setting to the far right - did you ? Also Linux Mint Ubuntu Based or Debian ? Which graphics driver (nvidia binary or noveou, see /var/log/Xorg.0.log)? How much RAM do you have. The more info you provide, the more precise it is, the better are your chances that someone helps you - also Mint is not offically supported.
