Ok, now this is cool (the airfield in the desert, not the missing landing leg...) (and is it me or does the editor say Dessert Airfield? I was halfway expecting a giant ice cream cone when I loaded this airfield...) and yes, I landed it safely.

Looking forward to it. Thanks to @theonegalen for helping bring GAP to the next level! he donated DLC, and I am floored (er flying?). I'll be working on air flights to the new places on Kerbin.

@nightingale I take it there's code to verify if DLC is installed right? I assume its just another mod pack?

You're right theonegalen, Patreon wants me to wait. No worries I'll pm you a paypal link if you want. :) No matter what, you guys are awesome. :)

Unfortunately I don't have the steam version of ksp, so the steam dlc won't work. Thanks for the thought though! If anyone wants, they can send a donation via my patreon here https://www.patreon.com/inigmatus which I can then use to get the DLC.

sounds silly, but I'm a bit short on cash to get DLC for any games at the moment. but if anyone wants to shuck over a dollar or two to help, feel free: https://www.patreon.com/inigmatus perhaps someone who has the DLC can copy the airline contracts for the island and simply modify the values for the landing location for desert airport. if so, ill include it in the formal release, else as soon as I get the DLC I'll certainly include flights to other locations in it. :)

I'll look at these when I get some time this week. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I've not had any issues in my own testing. Are you guys doing straight up contract accept, build rocket, fly it? Or are you doing anything in between?

Was testing completedMessage and noticed that \n\n no longer makes a carriage return. Can you confirm? completedMessage = Another historic flight completed!\n\nYour pilot is starting to showing some amazing skill with that last landing. turns into: Another historic flight completed!Your pilot is starting to showing some amazing skill with that last landing. instead of: Another historic flight completed! Your pilot is starting to showing some amazing skill with that last landing.

am i missing something? i dont see in the help or op or anywhere where the following feature is available in the GUI or cfg: No more searching around in service bays - run experiments at the click of a button

Ya I was noticing it happening with a single seat as well. Thanks for the info. I also updated

also in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Squad\Kerbal Space Program\

I updated my post above with link to craft file. Where do I get output_log txt? Is it in KSP_x64_Data\output_log.txt? If so, no such log exists, even with KSP 1.4.1 debug logging options set to flush output to disk.

Running into issue where after first spawn successful into command seat (or nearby) from SPH, and recovery, subsequent spawns are not taking place (no kerbal appears). Appears to be consistent. I tried spawning these guys in this craft: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5wxp6v4sos9fll8/KerbAir.craft?dl=0 but get this: maybe something wrong here in the log? on reload of KSP 1.4.1 and try again only one Kerbal loads (Lupont Kerman):

Finally a mining mod for KSP. Perfect for Commercial Space Program plays.

hrmm... there aren't any mods that have propellers that are compatible with 1.4 yet, nor does it seem like there will be anytime soon. i guess ill have to test with jets.

Vintage Propellator doesn't spin in 1.4. Also can you add a reverse thrust switch so I can mount it rearward facing?

Take Command Continued - I tested in 1.4.1, and it appears to work fine.

@linuxgurugamer for us airplane fanatics, can you add this to your priority update list?

Coast Guard contracts that don't require pre-made crafts still exist. This includes the downed pilot, and stranded Kerbal mountain climber missions. I will miss the barn, and Nightingale's Tiki Bar but its too much of a hassle to maintain with each release of KSP and occasionally changing vessel spawn mechanics. Just need someone to run through most of the contracts as normal, including many of the milestone contracts (first flight, helicopter, speed, altitude, etc) and flight contracts (KSC Airlines 101-103) and Coast Guard contracts (rescue pilot, rescue stranded climbers) using both stock and popular modded parts. If no complaints, I'll release 1.4 gold this week.

Heads up, I forgot that the decoupler part was renamed in KSP 1.4 so in KSP 1.3 the GAP beta it will still work, but in KSP 1.4 the decoupler part contract in GAP beta wont. I've since renamed the part in the contract for the final release for anyone testing GAP beta in KSP 1.4.

@Spike88 @Skylon I tested this in 1.4 with CC 1.24, and two stage rockets work just fine. Just be sure you recover the avionics package safely. I'm working on publishing an updated version of this this weekend. Beta here: https://github.com/inigmatus/ContractPack-SoundingRockets/releases/tag/1.4

@RoverDude can you add a short range radio to your Avionics Package so we can at least launch these things as our first craft in a career game? Call me noobish. I forgot the battery. doh. Man I'm out of sorts. I haven't played KSP much recently. heh.

Understood. I fully expect GAP 1.4 beta to work in 1.3.1. I've just not tested it. If you confirm it works, let me know. Most of the contracts in this version never had any bug reports, so as far as contracts go, this should be one of the most stable releases ever. That and the most spell-checked version ever. Heh.

should. if CC 1.24 works in 1.3.1. I dunno. GAP 1.4 requires CC 1.24 but you could always fudge the version for CC in the Groups.cfg in the GAP root to make it work with an earlier version of CC.

I've published GAP 1.4 beta here: https://github.com/inigmatus/GAP/releases/tag/1.4 It's a culled down version of GAP for easier maintenance on my part by removing the tedium of having to update prebuilt crafts with every release of KSP, and better focus on your part to just those contracts dealing with aircraft. It appears to work for the most part. I need a tester or two to run through all the contracts, and help me find bugs with this version. I am also interested in input on what you guys think should be done with the contract rewards and penalties as I've often heard some youtubers say the contracts dont pay enough, or the penalties are too steep. Thoughts on this latest version of GAP?
