Hello everyone! Today we wear our party helmets to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first publicly released version of Kerbal Space Program, as well as the launch of our most ambitious free update ever! Kerbal Space Program 1.12: On Final Approach is the last major update of what became one of the most influential space flight simulators ever, but it also marks the beginning of a new chapter in the Kerbal universe. Looking forward to the future, but proud of what KSP has achieved, we want to give players our most sincere thanks. The support you’ve given us throughout all these years has helped to excite and inspire us to bring you the ultimate KSP experience before KSP2 hits the shelves next year. Kerbal Space Program 1.12: On Final Approach is packed with a great deal of content including a brand new ‘Slim’ suit inspired by the feats of the private aerospace sector industry, on-demand disconnecting struts, and rotating docking port collars, just to name a few. This update also includes many new requested features & quality of life additions to improve the user experience of KSP, such as a huge revamp to craft and game save loading menu-system, a large amount of wheel and landing leg improvements, and much more! Rejoice and explore the Kerbal universe once more... you might even encounter some of the new easter eggs and unlockable launch sites scattered around the solar system. Are you ready? Let’s go through some of the update’s highlights below: Maneuver Creator App The Maneuver Creator app is an incredibly useful tool that enhances the accuracy of your space maneuvers by allowing you to quickly generate transfers to other celestial bodies, see upcoming transfer windows and get a good understanding of where you’re going and how much deltaV it will take to get there. Alarm Clock App Use the Alarm Clock app to set alarms for maneuvers, manual time alarms and alarms for various orbital positions, which will certainly come in handy for those long trips that require several burns to complete. New Solar Panels This update also includes 4 brand new photovoltaic panels, including enhanced versions of the SP and OX-4 series, but also two large circular retractable solar panels with very cool deployment methods. 10th Anniversary Fireworks! Celebrate KSP’s 10th anniversary with these highly configurable firework launchers to attach to your vehicles. Choose from different trail and burst types, but also tweak the force, duration, star size, launch velocity, explosion delay, and the colors of the fireworks at any given time. Let the party begin!

Kerbal Space Program 1.12: On Final Approach is now available on Steam and will soon be available on GOG and other third-party resellers. You will also be able to download it from the KSP Store if you already own the game. As with every release this thread will be used to bundle all general discussion about the new version so that the forums can continue to actively host threads on other topics as well. CLICK HERE for the official release announcement for Kerbal Space Program 1.12: On Final Approach. Happy launchings! About the Ground Anchor: The Ground Anchor will be a brand new element in KSP, that when paired with EVA construction, will give players the ability to anchor their vessels to the ground or create a solid foundation for bases. Unfortunately we encountered a late bug for this feature, so it will not be included as part of the 1.12 update. We believe we have a fix for it, but it was too late and too risky to do at the last minute. As a result, this feature will be included with the 12.1 patch, so stay tuned.

I run KSP via Steam, and today when I launched Steam I saw an auto update for KSP in progress. It's now at 1.12. After it completed I tried to launch KSP and it just sits at "Loading Part Upgrade" message, and the progress bar doesn't move, while the scenes and witty expressions change. All I can do is terminate the process via Task Manager. I've tried restarting my computer without success. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Either removing the update, or running KSP from another source? <next day> I uninstalled KSP entirely and reinstalled it, and it ran just fine. So I started/stopped it multiple times, each time adding a single mod. Here's what I came up with: The following three mods stop the load at the "Loading Part Upgrade" message I described originally: Surface Lights KIS Warp Plugin - even after downloading the latest version, I received multiple file errors while trying to install it. MechJeb2 didn't stop the load, but did generate the 'incompatible mod' warning. B9Switch didn't interfere with the game loading when I first added it, but after I added Station Parts Expansion Redux I received a fatal error message related to B9Switch while the game was loading, and the game stopped on it's own, rather than allowing to quit normally. I'd be curious if others are experiencing the same issues. I figure I just need to be patient for each of those mods to be updated before I can continue my career game.

When I set an alarm for a ship's maneuver node, it only works while the ship is in focus! If I go to KSC, the alarm doesn't work! Time doesn't even pass in the alarm indicator... This bug only seems to happen on maneuver alarms! Manual or transfer window alarms seem to work fine! * Hope this is a bug, not a feature! ** I'm playing KSP 1.12.0 on Windows 10 x64 Thanks.

I've noticed when trying to enter the launchpad or runway from KSC that only crafts under the root directory of the craft folder system show up to be launched, and I can't see how to access the subfolders or search for craft in them. How can I do this?

Originally designed by @Xaiier as an advanced successor to the popular Dynamic Warp mod, this mod gives you complete control of time in KSP by allowing you to slow down time to get those cool explosions on video(or find out why your rocket is blowing up on the pad), boost the rate of time to ridiculous levels without loss of precision to ease those long burns, set custom warp rates and per-planet custom altitude limits, utilize automatic warping, and monitor the physics engine and game performance. Now maintained and enhanced by @westamastaflash. Jun 25, 2021 - Version 2.11 (KSP 1.12). KSP 1.12 Recompile Note that in Low Kerbin Orbit, when using 'hyper-warp' you may sometimes find your Semi-Major axis changing without any force on your vessel. I think this has something to do with the interaction between the coordinate systems and floating point issues that I am not smart enough to figure out right now. It's small enough that usually it is not a problem when you are applying thrust to your vehicle. Also, there seems to be a problem with some engine sounds after using hyper warp. Download current release on GitHub. Curseforge Project Site Please add issues or enhancement requests to the issue tracker on GitHub! Full Changelong Available on Github Usage: The seven letters at the top of the window allow you to switch operation modes between details, quick warp, warp-to, rails editor, keybindings, slow-mo, and hyper warp. In the Space Center and Tracking Station, hyper warp and slow-mo are not available. Pictures of the GUI are in each spoiler below. QuickWarp: Warp-To UT: Slow-motion: Hyper warp: Rails editor: ? Details: Key Bindings Setup: Settings are now in the standard KSP settings window accessed in-flight or at the space center. Recommended Mods that go well with Time Control: Time Control will respect the years/days/hours/minutes that Kronometer sets up. Note that the quick-warp and warp-to quick +/- buttons won't make sense if your kerbal minute is 38 seconds long and kerbal hour is 17 kerbal-minutes. They will work correctly (+38 seconds / minute), but the multipliers wouldn't be that useful. Time Control has an integrated "Warp to next KAC Alarm" feature. My recommendation is to turn off KAC's built in warp-stopping functionality, as Time Control's is more precise and will get you to the alarm point very fast. Source Code also on Github. MIT License. In the past, this mod included version checking using MiniAVC. If you opt-in, it will use the internet to check whether there is a new version available. Data is only read from the internet and no personal information is sent. For a more comprehensive version checking experience, please download the KSP-AVC Plugin. MiniAVC has been removed from the mod for some time, but a version file remains, if you choose to use KSP-AVC. Time Modding Notes (by Xaiier)

I started a new career game after updating to 1.12 and discovered that parts are listed two or three times in the various nodes of the tech tree. They only appear one time in the VAB/SPH, but multiple times in R&D. I'm curious to know if anyone else is seeing the same thing.

After updating to 1.12 I noticed that some parts no longer have the advanced tweakables that were available in 1.11. For instance, the multiport connectors from the StationPartsExpansion mod no longer offer the various configuration options (5-way; 4-way; 3-way; 2-way; 45 degree). I checked and made sure that 'advanced tweakables' were enabled at both the game and start menu levels. Am I missing some other setting?

My problem is when start my game it goes to the loading screen but then at the bottom (where it says loading parts or that sort of thing) it just says loading part upgrades. The loading screen images are changing but the bottom text is stuck like that for 3 hours. I’ve closed the game a loaded it again but the same problem occurs. I’m wondering if anyone else is having this problem or anyone knows how I might be able to fix this.

So i got this strange bug when using debug menu to cheat myself to duna (To test a lander) and this happened: (Game thinks im in every scene at once) Screenshot: Log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AoK93F4aDDUr6RVwxxMQLF_8bbYt-VpJ/view?usp=sharing

Have you ever wanted to see your flight data in beautiful charts? Ever wanted to see a detailed log of your altitude, apoapsis, velocity, and much, much more? Well, KSP Data Export allows you to do that! This mod allows you to choose from 20 different values to log (even more are coming in future updates), and neatly puts them into a CSV file. You can then use this CSV file in programs such as Excel or Google Sheets to create beautiful looking charts and graphs. Data is logged by default every one second, but you are allowed to change to whatever you would like. I made this video to demonstrate some of the features: Current Values to Choose From: Vessel Surface Velocity G-Force Acceleration Thrust TWR Mass Position Altitude (Terrain) Altitude (Sea Level) Downrange Distance Latitude Longitude Orbit Apoapsis Periapsis Inclination Orbital Velocity Target Distance Target Velocity Resources Stage DeltaV Vessel DeltaV Science Air Pressure More values are coming soon! Screenshots The main GUI The GUI to choose which values to log Download This mod is available on CKAN, as well as SpaceDock and CurseForge. If you prefer to download it on GitHub, you can get it here. The source code is available here. License: MIT Thank you for reading, let me know your comments, feedback, and suggestions! (I am new the forums, so hopefully I didn't make any mistakes. This is also my first mod!)

So, I've actually had this game for 7 years, and still don't know how to update reliably without creating 2 different installs then having to move the saves folders and whatnot over into the new KSP version. A few times, I downloaded not another copy of KSP, but something else that updated my existing install to the new version. Where can I get that something else? Thanks

Could someone help me find the courdanates of all of the new launch sites? Please put them in Latitude and logitude Thanks. If you do not want to know where the locations are, don’t click on the spoiler tab below This should help too. https://ksp.deringenieur.net/ This might help: https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/List_of_bases_on_Kerbin PUT THE CORDADINTES IN A SPOILER TAB

When they are moved they should retain their state, when stored they are retracted into storage and need to be extended once attached from storage. * Fix key not found exception after an EVA Kerbal dies followed by staging a decoupler in flight. * Fix ability to review and transmit science experiments whilst resetting the experiment. * Fix NRE on closing Construction Mode while holding robotic parts after detaching it from vessel. * Fix flag parts not moving with the rest of the craft when manipulating the root part in editor. * Fix flickering Orbit lines in Mapview/Tracking station (really fixed this time). * Fix for UI to allow proper space for the word "Small" to display in a single row in the PAW. * Fix for UI to avoid misaligned column text in "Active Strategies" column, in the Administration Building. * Fix wheel stress tolerance not taking gravity into account. * Fix wheels not taking steering curve into consideration. * Fix landing legs violently decompressing when fully compressed. * Fix landing legs shaking on low gravity. * Fix light weight rovers using S2 wheels sliding everywhere. * Fix landing legs shaking when attached to parts placed horizontally. * Fix vessels moving across the surface with landing legs placed at >= 45 degrees. * Fix toggle wheel motor action group. * Fix max speed on M1. * Fix some contract craft not loading in career games. * Fix quicksave text input being too short and characters being cut off. * Fix deploying ground parts interrupting SFX on other parts. * Fix NRE occurring during repairing a part. * Fix Rover Construction, Satellite Upgrade and Vessel repair contracts losing track of the contract vessel. * Fix any vessel arriving at a rover repair contract from triggering the waypoint on the contract. * Fix Satellite upgrade contract asking for parts that are not usable in EVA Construction mode. * Fix Ap and Pe markers appearing in future patches in space not aligned to current patch rendering when in career games that have yet to have patched conics available. * Fix EVA kerbals on a ladder in Construction Mode holding a part from floating off the ladder. * Fix the banana pieces velocity when performing the EVA science experiment whilst wearing the default suit. * Fix physicsless root part on decoupled vessel creating havoc. * Fix a Key Not Found Exception error message is fired when a Grip Strip is removed from any vessel through EVA Construction Mode. * Fix held part keeps its position in the scene on closing Construction Mode instead of reaching the ground. * Fix Mk1-3 Pod's rcs' SFX volume. * Fix toggle of suspension auto spring and damper not resetting spring and damper when toggled from override to auto. * Fix the Protective Rocket Nose Cone Mk7?s collider. * Fix prebuilt craft qualification for contracts based on tech nodes as they are purchased. * Fix Non-retractable deployable parts having a Retract option when they cannot be retracted. * Inventory part tooltip panel no longer closes as soon as the mouse exits the inventory slot. It is therefore now possible to read all the information when the panel has many widgets. * Extended part information panel and inventory tooltip are now more clear about mass information. * Fix audio issue where sounds makes a pop sound when engines shut down. * Fix NREs when expanding a stage from a vessel marked as debris. * Fix audio issue where sounds differed between map view and flight view. * Fix the MenuNavigation on the CraftBroswer dialog so that when browsing with the up and down arrows, the scrollback focuses on the highlighted element. +++ Modding * Changes to Wheel and Landing Legs systems by default are not applied to old parts. ModuleWheelBase.useNewFrictionModel, ModuleWheelSteering.useNewModel, ModuleWheelSuspension.useDistributedMass must be set to true in the Part Modules cfg for each part that wants to use the new functionality. * Failed reflection calls to incompatible or otherwise invalid mods are now handled, so they don't stop the game from loading. * Custom suits now show the corresponding icon in all relevant screens. * Added an additional useCustomThreshold field to ModuleOrbitalSurveyor. Setting it to true will allow the module to recalculate the minimum and maximum altitudes beyond the stock values. * When multiple versions of the same assembly are present, KSP now makes sure only the most recent one is loaded. * Tuned the logic to calculate space object resource percentages based on the lowRange and highRange values, preventing space objects from always having > 80% resources regadless of the range values. * Add a GameEvent for revert to launch that returns the current FlightState. * Add ability for modders to be able to turn off the color changer UI. * Add ability to support multiple lights from the single ModuleLight instance. * Allow ModuleLight's toggle action to simultaneously toggle other animations. =================================== Making History 1.12.0 =================================== +++ Parts * Kerbodyne S3-S4 adapter's dark stripe now matches with the S3 and S4 tanks. * Add 1.25m Engine plate. * Fix SM-25 gap at bottom of the doors. +++ Bugfixes * Kerbodyne KE-1 Mastodon Liquid Fuel Engine's shroud clipping fix * Fix spacing in Mission Builder for 'Seed' field in the SAP. * Fix max speed on M1-F wheels. * Fix EP-12's preview attach nodes size. * Fix MEM's rcs' SFX volume. =================================== Breaking Ground 1.7.0 =================================== +++ Localization * Fix unnecessary colon for one string in Spanish only. * Fix for spelling mistake in Duna's stone objects, English only. Kerbal Space Program 1.12: On Final Approach is now available on Steam and will soon be available on GOG and other third-party resellers. You will also be able to download it from the KSP Store if you already own the game. Click here to enter the Grand Discussion Thread for this release. Happy launchings! About the Ground Anchor: The Ground Anchor will be a brand new element in KSP, that when paired with EVA construction, will give players the ability to anchor their vessels to the ground or create a solid foundation for bases. Unfortunately we encountered a late bug for this feature, so it will not be included as part of the 1.12 update. We believe we have a fix for it, but it was too late and too risky to do at the last minute. As a result, this feature will be included with the 12.1 patch, so stay tuned.

So I started playing KSP since 1.3 and it’s one of the best game I’ve ever played. Of course I started way too late for any KerbalKon. Still, since 1.12 is going to be the last major update for KSP1 and also its 10th anniversary. I am thinking about having one last Kerbalkon as and remembrance ceremony to the game we all love. So the first question is what do you guys think. Then the second question is can anyone host it.
