I installed BDA yesterday and had some issues. A: All of the BDA items could only be found in the manufacturers tab B: The BDA tab is nonexistent (Yes I'm using the weapons manager) C: Bomb explosions are not happening correctly D: I'm not the only one with this problem, my friend JWMan121 also has these issues I would be more than grateful if someone were to help me with these issues. Thank you!

Is it a spaceplane? is it a rover? no its THE MEKHA TENGU CHALLANGE! Koviet engineering korps is looking to see if any kerbal is smart enough to make a hybrid spaceplane/rover that can cut down the pollution that is caused by multi staged interplanetary launches and a rover that can be returned back to kerbin,and be used as a gunship for a(totally fake) war(that does not involve nuclear weapons and napalm). WINNERS WILL BE DECIDED BY A RNG. RULES: 1.post screenshots 2.can have very witty names 3. must use BDA for weapons 4. list mods used(if you are using any modded parts that are not from BDA)

On behalf of the BDAc team and development group, I welcome all prospective entrants to this BDAc challenge! The start of the skirmishes shall commence on December 1st, 2016 and will hopefully be completed before December 20, 2016. I will be on holidays from the 21st until the end of the month. If the challenge does not conclude on December 20th, they will recommence until completion on January 1, 2017. From this post on everybody has 12 days to build, fine tune, and submit their planes. The rules as agreed upon: -One submission per applicant -Battles will be 3 vs. 3 round, best of 3 skirmishes . This will be a simple elimination setup. You win a battle, you progress. You lose, you're out. Ties will be delt in a overtime round. If the plane(s) lands intact due to expiration of fuel resources that will count as a loss since your plane will not be able to defend itself. -All planes will be flightworthy. -All planes will be able to taxi down the runway or dirt in a straight fashion. If your planes like to do the wing-slap-shimmy with the dirt or pavement, don't submit it. If it happens during a battle, it will be counted as a loss. -All planes will be tuned to your best abilities at the point of submission either by DropBox or KerbalX. Once your plane is submitted, it will be considered a final draft. -All planes will have the BDA AI and Weapons Manager in plain sight (pardon the pun), preferably on top of the fuselage or airframe. If I have to go looking for them......well, that results in bad Karma, Ju-Ju, or whatever you call it. It's poor manners for the tournament host. Besides, I might have to check on things. -Any AI or weapon manger settings allowed. You are tuning the AI to your plane. Do what you have to. Same with the Weapons Manager. -All BDA guns allowed. NO MISSILES THIS TIME. Rotating turrets will be locked down to 0-0-0 configuration, pointing forwards. I will check. -There will be a hard minimum of 750 metres ASL AI configurations. No maximum ASL altitude limit will be imposed. This is to prevent dirt poisoning or SDT (Severe Deceleration Trauma) mishaps (hitting the ground). -All contests will be within the default 8,000 metre arena. Use this as a yardstick for building your planes. -All planes will be inspected so they have the stock SQUAD parts and the following mods (links will follow): --SXT continued https://github.com/linuxgurugamer/SXTContinued --BDA continued https://github.com/PapaJoesSoup/BDArmory/releases --Quizztech continued http://spacedock.info/mod/836/QuizTechAeroPackContinued --Aviation cockpits http://spacedock.info/mod/658/Aviation Cockpits?ga=<Game+3102+'Kerbal+Space+Program'> --Procedural Dynamics (wings) https://github.com/Crzyrndm/ProceduralWings/releases --Procedural Parts (airframes, tanks, etc) https://github.com/Swamp-Ig/ProceduralParts/releases --Tweakscale Github NO OTHER MODS WILL BE PERMITTED. -FAR or NEAR not approved. Stock game physics only this time around. We shall see in the future. -Default G-limits on planes and Kerbals in full effect. You can build whatever you want, but the pilots have to live until they die (morbid, but true) -Any planes that use Tweakscale on the cockpits will be disqualified. Tweakscale renders the cockpits and other manned structural parts unmannable. If your design calls for a .625m cockpit the before mentioned mods have those in their parts inventory. Same with 2.5m cockpits. Use the proper cockpit for the job. -Tweakscale on engines permitted, however this may not be an advantage due to thrust, fuel consumption, mass, etc. It will be up to the participant to design their plane with this in mind. You have been advised. -All planes will have a minimum of one Kerbal. -All planes will have a maximum of 2 engines -All planes will have a minimum of one BDA Radar unit installed. -All planes will have a maximum part count of 50. That should be plenty. -All planes will have sufficient fuel for a minimum 15 minute flight at maximum throttle. This includes Afterburners. Dogfights with evenly matched planes have been known to last quite a while. -There is no minimum or maximum mass on the plane. -There is no minimum or maximum speed requirements, but it's preferred that your plane can do at least Mach 1.1 for a decent mass-to-thrust ratio. - There will be no hidden wings installed inside the fuselage, UNLESS IT CAN BE PROVEN THAT IT'S A NECESSITY FOR THE STRUCTURE OF THE PLANE. That means no shoving 20 wing surfaces in the space of one using the debug menu to do it. That will be an instant no-fly.

So, I have recently been informed that a lot of the top mods currently aren't compatible with the newest 1.2 update of KSP. I was wondering how could one go about reverting my game back to 1.1.3 or something. I am using steam I honestly could care less about most of my saves I have a boatload (more like an intergalactic capital ship turned into a cargo ship full kind of boatload) This is mostly in the name of BDArmory Thanks in advance, -lococarl, over and out. **P.S.: Here's what's in my GameData folder: 000_USITools (Miscellaneous plugins and such for USI mods near bottom of list) BDArmory (RIP BDA, no parts show up in 1.2, really itching to try for first time) CommunityResourcePack (No idea where I got it from) Eskandare_Heavy_Industries [CVX (Only having problems with launch)] ExtraplanetaryLaunchpads (Out of date) Firespitter (Not my favorite, pretty janky if you ask me) JSI [RasterPropMontiter (I guess it's working)] KAS (Haven't figured out how to really use it yet, for lack of trying) KAX (Has fallen by the wayside because of KSO) Kerbaltek [Hyperedit (Working)] KIS (Haven't delved into its wonders at all yet) KSO (Love it very much, 99%* working) SHED (Haven't used yet but works) SM_Marine (Only having problems with launching boats) SmokeScreen (Due to dependencies, also have no idea what it does) Squad (Stock) TweakScale-master (Fully functional) UmbraSpaceIndustries (Akita, FX, Karibou, Konstruction, and Malemute) VanguardTechnologies (EVA parachutes and ejector seats, haven't booted game with it yet) VesselMover (Tab not appearing at top of screen, I call it not working) WildBlueIndustries (Buffalo MSEV, haven't booted game with it yet) Hope someone can inform me on what I'm doing wrong with some of these or how to use them. *There are some screwy things in KSO (ie.: physics loads for already landed helicopter from previous flight with engine left on and it spins and flips all over and blows up).

When I try to use the new version of BDA with KSP 1.1.3, I paste the BDA folder into the GameData folder and install the game. The parts appear, but when I launch any craft, the screen is black. When I pause then unpause, the camera starts spiraling and zooming out. Am I doing something wrong, or are the two just incompatible? Thanks!

"Libertate per Tela Superior" THE CHALLENGE: Build an Airborne Heavy Weapons Platform (AHWP). Pit it against other AHWPs for amazing battles of incredible destruction. Inspired by @Adelaar's M-GS-1 'Liberator' build. What's an AHWP? An AHWP is a VTOL aircraft so heavily armed that "heavy gunship" is no longer sufficient to describe it. It is somewhat subjective, but a good rule of thumb for making AHWPs is to decide the armament first, and then build the craft around that. It must be VTOL. If it's fast/maneuverable/doesn't overly lag your game, that's a bonus. Are mods allowed? Yes. BDA is required, and other mods are allowed. If necessary, custom parts may be used only for the VTOL lifter engines. This is due to the fact that most engines will likely be insufficient to lift some AHWPs. Stock is, however, not discouraged. In fact, stock is somewhat cooler due to the limitations one has to work with. However, if you need Infinite Fuel/Electricity/RCS for functionality, it does not qualify as a submission. BDA Infinite Ammo is allowed, but not encouraged. Throttle Controlled Avionics for VTOL balancing is allowed, but not encouraged. Kerbal Joint Reinforcement is recommended. Submission Guidelines: Post a picture/album of your AHWP and it's armaments list. Please add a KerbalX download. Multiple entries are allowed. List of Known AHWPs: 1) @Adelaar's M-GS-1 'Liberator' Battle Cruiser- The original. Mostly Stock. Form Factor: Gunship. Classification: Heavy AHWP. 2) @njmksr's ACV-270 'Freedomizer'- Bringing good old-fashioned American FreedomTM since 2016. Mostly modded. Form Factor: Gunship. Custom lifters. Classification: Ultra-Heavy AHWP. 3) @drtricky's ABH-41 'Titan'- Stock, with the exception of BDA. Form Factor: Gunship. Classification: Medium-Light AHWP. 4) @andreasblom's KH-3000 'Flying Tank'- Mostly Modded. Form Factor: Helicopter. Classification: Light AHWP. 5) @drtricky's ABH-17 'Civilizer'- Stock, with the exception of BDA. Form Factor: Gunship. Classification: Heavy AHWP. 6) @stickman939's 'Devilmaker' Helldiver-Class HWP- Your framerate will drop about as low as the morale of your enemies. Mostly Modded. Form Factor: Battlecruiser. Classification: Ultra-Heavy+ AHWP. 7) @ScriptKitt3h's Olympus Mons-Class AHWP: Work in Progress. Stock, with the exception of BDA. Form Factor: Battlecruiser. Classification: Ultra-Heavy AHWP. 8) @drtricky's USHS Majestic: Because there's nothing that can't fly if it has Moar BoostersTM Mostly Modded. Form Factor: Battlecruiser Literal Warship. Classification: Ultra-Heavy+ AHWP. Leave your submissions in the thread below! Special thanks to: @Adelaar for inspiration, @BahamutoD for BD Armory, @Papa_Joe, @DoctorDavinci, (and the rest of the BDAc team) for keeping BDA alive, @SpannerMonkey(smce) for Spanner's Boomsticks and for general awesomeness and also for hosting battles.

My F-22 design, dubbed the K-22. Uses QuizTech, NKD, BDA. Pretty maneuverable, for its ridiculous count of missiles. (Would post a picture, but screenshot isn't working lately) Looks Bad*ss, didn't put the JDAMS on because it would look bad, and make the plane impossible to maneuver.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx NOTE TO ALL USERS OF SM MARINE There are issues in KSP 1.6.x with certain parts containing multiple animations . These issues display as broken information in the PAW (right click menu) and the animations being inoperative . The fix is fairly simple but time consuming to do and will be dealt with in a small update shortly. This and the broken IR aside all parts appear to be working well and fully functional in 1.6.x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SM Industries Presents v0.9.9.3 SM Marine KSP 1.4.X BDA 1.2.X OnlyUse SM Industries Included SM Marine NEEDS the SM_Industries plugin and localisation dictionary in order to function correctly It is important to have the version that matches the release, mismatched versions will result In Autloc text being displayed and parts may not appear SM_Industries for a latest releases can be found at the link below https://github.com/SpannerMonkey/SMIndustries/releases What is SM Marine? primarily its is a selection of parts and equipment to make your ships look more like ships, including better looking bridges with limited IVA, working radars, propeller drive systems, masts and antennas, I even found the time to add a few one part hulls As you may know I've been developing weapon mods forever and even as long ago as 0.16 I had working boats and submarines. upon my return I noticed a proliferation of boat mods and thought cool I like boats and ships a lot, i tried them and non of them fitted what I wanted, they were either too big, too complex or just not Spanner. So i started making a small selection of parts to make them more to my taste, along the way i dipped into my many years of experience in the marine industry and way too many hours spent on sea trials and made some hulls, that according to those who have tested them are some of the best behaved hulls in the game, naturally I'm biased. None of the parts are huge but they are all tweakscale prepared, so should you desire they can be huge . Typhoon and main cmd center IVA And its not all military Changelog Notes on functionality All radar units included in this mod require BD Armory in order to function. ALL drive units require a recent copy of the Firespitter DLL to be installed, without firespitter there will be no engine sounds. Would very much like a standalone version of the engine sounds functionality Propeller effects are provided by stock modules as is engine reversing. Extending Radar and small Radome the unit is telescopic and also includes a targeting camera, The fwd or neutral position is marked on the shell by use of a yellow line There are 3 types of anchor included all types work as anchors when attached to a KAS winch mount, in addition anchor 4 will activate the AirAnchor functionality of the HL airships airpark modules ( working on a standalone version for this mod) All structural parts will and should sink, please let me know if you find something floaty that should not be. Drive Units and rudders have 0 buoyancy. Each hull carries a small amount of ballast space, each Bridge unit has a pump for filling and emptying the ballast space. The drive units power scales with size so it is possible to overpower all the hulls should an overly large drive size be chosen, for best results keep scales in parity. The Rudder. do not be tempted to add several rudders in order to quicken steering, due to lift in certain circumstances now providing speed it is possible with multiple rudders to induce uncontrollable handling characteristics. The hulls steer at an acceptable rate for the size and mass All of the hulls has RCS thrusters acting as fine position and maneuvering thrusters, these are powered from ballast stored in the onboard tanks, To activate RCS you will need to pump some ballast into the tanks then activate RCS as normal, no ballast = no thrust All drives are intended to run on Intake Air and liquid fuel, the included intake mast will provide enough air for fairly large scales of engine, this part is also scale able For ease and simplicity of use the bridge units carry small generators for LF IA and EC And as a bonus all parts work well with other ship mods especially the Large Boat Parts pack that i am now maintaining while Laythe is otherwise occupied The new small hulls are not currently balanced for HullBreach, they are a lot more delicate than the LBP parts and balancing is a time consuming process, As soon as the balancing is properly achieved the cfg's wil be added to HullBreach. The larger hulls are almost there and will sink with cfg's included in HullBreach The Tug can attach to any other vessel using the included grab parts, styled as a push bar and truck tire these function exactly the same way as the stock Klaw. To use mount the chosen type on your craft, once launched, select arm, this will raise the visible contact pads. To attach to another vessel approach should be around 1m/s any slower and it will not trigger, any faster and you may bounce off before the module can grab the other vessel. To release select release from the gui. Most ships in LBP can be moved by two tugs 1 at the stern of the vessel to be moved and one attached via the Truck Tire klaw to the side of the vessel to be moved just forward of midpoint. this forward tug provides steerage Craft Files Basic Builds Special thanks go to @gomker @XOC2008 @V8jester without whom the mod would not be as neat as it is , and thanks to all the others who've presented ideas, random thoughts which have become a reality Download from SpaceDock other downloads available shortly GitHub Requires SM_Industries Dictionary assembled and created by @gomker SM_Industries EN US Localisation Dictionary Now available stand alone airpark works with the NEW ship main anchor Mods that are considered essential in order to fully use every item in this mod and Other Ship and Boat related useful mods and addons see below ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi all A Note concerning issues. There is now a git repository for SMM in order to access and provide a hard record of any issues that occur, as the mod list grows the more i find I'm forgetting and things that should be dealt with are slipping between the cracks. Therefore it makes sense to do something properly for a change . You can find the issues reporting page at this link https://github.com/SpannerMonkey/SM-Marine/issues NOTICE SM Marine is published under license type All Rights Reserved please do not relist or distribute this mod in any form, via any medium or service without my express permission. Hi all yes the button is new, i don't ever expect anyone to bother, you are certainly not obliged in any way, I was asked by several people this week, if there was a donation button in order to show their appreciation, the wife saw the requests, and after a some discussion i have given in and added a donation facility

I have installed BD armory correctly and when I land a plane I cant go to space center when I click it would do nothing can someone help.

Hereby I proudly present you my first mod - a Point Defence Cannon as seen on MCRN Tachi space corvette in The Expanse TV series. Point defence cannon is essentially a space CIWS. So far I have only fixed model that is just raised on its mount when activated. But I plan to add the one that will retract into special bay eventually, just like the ones in the series. The nicest feature is the inbuilt tracking-only radar with RPM camera built in. If you have Raster Prop Monitor installed then you'll be able to watch your target on MFD screen as the radar tracks it. Download from Spacedock: http://spacedock.info/mod/327/Tycho%20Orbital%20Shipyards%20weaponry Suggestions are welcome

Please note the following mods also require the installation of SM Industries SM Armory, SMI Missiles and Launchers, SM OST and T , SM AFV's Failure to install SM Industries will result in names and descriptions being displayed incorrectly and other related features will not work(don't panic the correct version of SMI is included in every download) Latest Update v0.99.99.93 Further enhancements, localisation. texture updates SM Armory for KSP 1.4.X and BDA 1.2.X ONLY Important note regarding recent BDA changes specifically BDA 1.2.2.2 see spoiler The original BDA expansion contains over 100 items to enhance your military might from 7.7mm WW1 machine guns to modern CIWS systems , WW2 field guns to 152mmAGS turrets there's a weapon for every eventuality With SMA now containing 100 parts it's time to go for V1 and full release,SM Armory is also to my mind complete and as such very little will be added, however my intention is to make extra packs to add on if the user wishes, rather than forcing and increasingly large download This version includes the impossibles, things that were thought impossible to create with BDA. These turrets ALL designed for CIWS use feature rapid fire cannons and AA missile rails. Also as usual are loads of normal turrets some based on fantasy , some on reality, but wherever the inspiration came from I've attempted to make them relevant to the Kerbal world. With notable and deliberate exceptions everything here is appropriately powered for Kerbal Kombat. I've also spent a good amount of time making sure that they work with SM Marine and The Large Boat Parts as i find that's the situation in which most of these will be used Some of the latest additions Current Items that made release, constantly subject to testing and response SM_Armory for KSP 1.3.1 Notes NOT installing the SM_Industries folder will mean that parts may not appear, strings will be nonsensical and mod performance will be reduced On installation you will notice that the mod contains an extras folder. In this folder you will find the Secubots security robot turrets, A weapon probe for connecting to turrets for standalone use, meant for use with the field guns, the pirate ship cannon and the 88.

I ask that all who post in this thread to please keep your posts directly related to this challenge and try to avoid frivolous and unrelated content ... Thank you NOTE: You must compete in Level 1 in order to progress to Level 2 ... You can find Level 1 HERE With BD Armoury 0.10.2.1 giving you the ability to have wing-men, I have created a second level for my Ground Attack Challenge that utilizes this ability I've manually flown a single military cargo plane to the Pyramids to deliver 6 mobile turrets. Your mission is to build 2 crafts that can fly to the Pyramids and destroy the turrets set up there Due to the missiles being amazingly accurate in the latest BD Armoury I am not using them in defense of the Pyramids ... Guns only on my end and anything goes on yours RULES: - Your crafts are designated as Team A - 2 crafts outfitted any way you want, however you may use a maximum of 100 parts per craft - You must upload your crafts somewhere I can download them from (Google Drive for example) - You may also upload a custom flag that will be used during recording otherwise I will use a bulls eye - NO MODS OTHER THAN BD ARMORY ... BD Armory 0.10.3 is required - You must have a Weapon Manager and an AI Pilot which are toggled to hotkey '1' on each plane (Toggle Guard Mode and Toggle AI Pilot respectively) - You may use droptanks if you wish ... They will be dropped when they are empty (see sample video) - YOUR CRAFTS MUST BE ABLE TO LAUNCH UNDER AI CONTROL NOTE: The BDA Wiki is located HERE I will record your crafts during launch, dropping any external fuel tanks as well as attacking the defenses at the Pyramids and then I will post the video's on my YouTube channel NOTE: The video will only contain the pertinent parts ... namely launch, external tank drop and the attack (see sample video) The mobile turrets will be re-positioned for the competition (as compared to the screenshots below) with 3 being set to target anything and the other 3 set for missiles only ... Once placed, the defenses will remain in the same configuration for the duration of this thread It will be a night time launch, however it will be evening at the Pyramids when the attack begins You can watch the sample video HERE Essentially I will manually pilot your crafts in the general direction of the Pyramids at roughly 2500m altitude and at 2/3 thrust [no afterburners] to around 4.8 km out from the mobile turrets at which point I will activate the AI pilots on each craft and watch the beautiful disaster ensue whilst recording the carnage for prosperity NOTE: 4.8 km is is being used so as to allow all crafts to load into physics as well preventing your craft from conducting a turn which could result in it flying out of range of it's targets SCOREBOARD (Kill Count) - SasquatchM w/ the Wyvern Mk.4 - LR ...

The Kerbal Alliance military, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to open yet another competition for the best BDArmory fighter design on the planet, disregarding the fact that the entire planet has been at peace for decades. Entrants are restricted, but barely, by what’s noted down in appendix one. Since the Kerbal Alliance is not a terribly pro-active organization, they’re probably never going to get around to determining the winner, so the competition is running in a “beat the best” format with challengers going up one-on-one against whatever beat the last champion, with both designs controlled by the idiot AI that took over the control tower last week. Competitions will be broadcast via the state-approved TV channels when Real Housekerbs isn’t on. APPENDIX ONE: DESIGN RESTRICTIONS 1a: You MUST USE FAR, BDArmory,and Dynamic Deflection. Dissenters will be processed into delicious snacks. 1b: Other Allowed Mods List: Adjustable Landing Gear, B9 Procedural Wings, Procedural Parts, and any visual/audio mods you want. In fact, if you can record at a respectable framerate while using visual mods, please submit your rig to the Kerbal Alliance for usage in recording the dogfights, in return for the Alliance’s everlasting gratitude. 1c: Entrants are limited to using a single 20mm hidden Vulcan for the guns, as per KOSPAR regulations. 1d: Entrants are limited to a maximum missile count of ten, none of which can be PAC-3s, and all of which must be faced forwards. We don’t want a repeat of the Monkey Flight incident. 1e: Entrants shall program their AI autopilots to a minimum altitude of 1400, default altitude of 2000, and maximum speed of 400. All other settings are up for grabs, but AI settings resulting in unstable flight will be glared at disapprovingly. If you can’t get the slider to exactly the stated settings, “close enough” is good enough. 1f: Entrants shall limit their engine choices to one of the following: up to four Junos, up to two J-33s, up to two Panthers, one turbo-ramjet limited to 50% of throttle. Any fighters using other engines will be laughed off. 1g: Entrants may use one ECM pod, two chaff dispensers, and two flare dispensers, and are limited to one forward-facing radar array [required for entry]. 1h: Manned fighters only. The Kerbal Alliance is still not comfortable with the moral ramifications of automated killing machines, especially when they’re using probe cores developed last Tuesday.
