  1. I've recently gotten interested in expanding the KSC with new buildings and a runway mod. KSC Extended can add this but is currently bugged for me, as it makes the textures of the buildings added pink. Could anyone recommend mods that add more buildings and runway stuff? Thanks. (KSC Extended issue. A friend told me that KSC Extended is broken, but I'm seeing reports of it working perfectly. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.)
  2. I think this might be the culprit are of two bugs , the first being when the KSC disappears, the second being when you save and reload a save around mid transfer to the mun and it spawns the entire KSC (yea like the thing Mat Lowne discovered) and the same thing happened to me.
  3. Flight ui is displaying when first opening save after booting up the game. The opening menu is not visible.
  4. KSC Floodlights Mk2 (KSCFLT02) Yet another Floodlight/Lightning Arrester Tower for Kerbal Space Program & Kerbal Konstructs Originally created by forum user Divico. Updated for KSP v1.8.0+ by Stone Blue. Adds 3 Floodlight Towers to the KSC Launchpad. Requires Kerbal Konstructs MOD. Stone Blue's KSCFLT01 This Mod's KSCFLT02 Description Using the mesh file so generously supplied by Stone Blue, I have remixed yet another version of the lightning arrester / floodlight tower for the launch pad as KSC. Once installed alongside Kerbal Konstructs (and it's dependencies) it will create 3 towers around the launch pad with automatic dusk/dawn operation (originally added by Stone Blue). Each tower can also be manually toggled (with satisfying sound effects) by clicking on the tower it's self. Changes from previous versions It remains somewhat over-sized (my placements, like Stone Blue's, scales the towers to 0.7 of their original size), but I did make the following alterations: Resized / Re-meshed the lamp panel border. Added "struts" to support the lamp panel. Reduced range and altered power to provide a lower light level more in line with the lighting provided by the built in water tower spotlight (See NOTE below). Added sound effect (powered by built in KK functionality) Corrected delay in tower being "ready" to be clicked again after being clicked - tower can not be clicked again as soon as the light is fully on or off. Altered / Re-skinned to have a white/gray coloring and detailed extinguished lamps. Prototype Info In 2009, LC-39B saw the installation of three nearly 600' tall towers as part of a new "Lightning Protection System" at the historic launch pad. Previous uses for Apollo and the Space Shuttle did not have such comprehensive protection. These towers, meant to be a more attractive target for "Zeus", are by necessity significantly taller than the launch vehicles they protect. They are painted a light gray color from top to bottom and hold cables aloft to harmlessly redirect electrical discharges to the ground and away from launch vehicles. Further Reading @ NASA.gov https://www.nasa.gov/feature/lightning-towers-stand-tall-at-nasa-kennedy-s-launch-pad-39b NOTE: Set up was performed with [EVE](https://github.com/LGhassen/EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements/releases/), [Scatterer](https://github.com/LGhassen/Scatterer/releases), [Parallax](https://github.com/Gameslinx/Tessellation/releases), and [Waterfall](https://github.com/post-kerbin-mining-corporation/Waterfall/releases) MODs installed.

  5. Screenshots: It looks beautiful! And the music.. out of this world, very-very good soundtrack! The lighting and reflections are amazing. The jaggies, clouds and trees... they're beta. Would have liked to see how Kerbol reflects in the ocean. A few similar KSP1 images for comparison:
  6. Recently I saw many people had a darker/dim kinda forest green grass near the ksc which look really natural. Example: https://imgur.com/a/D9zLVue (Credit to @Zorg) Does anyone know how to make it look like that? It looks amazing. Thanks!
  7. Hello, I'm texturing some big custom assets and I want them to look similar to the stock space center buildings. Do you know where I can find their interior and exterior textures? Or are they hardcoded? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
  8. Jeb is on a vacation with his friends now. But KSC have a emergency mission! Jeb doesn't want to go back, so he calls his friends to help! Meanwhile, a group of assassins got a mission to kill Jeb! All you need is choose a side, and fight for your mission! Sides: Jeb's friends: Make sure that Jeb is alive and not going back to work! KSC: Make sure that Jeb is alive and bring him back to work! Assassins: Kill Jeb in all costs! CCC(Center for Chaos Containment): Stop this everyone from destroying the world! Examples: Poster 1: My side is Jeb's friends I take Jeb to the mun. Poster 2: My side is KSC I drive a rocket to catch Jeb. Poster 3: My side is assassins I throw a bomb to you. I'll start first: My side is Assassins I sniped Jeb.

  13. Here's a first look at the in-progress Kerbal Space Center, showing off the beautiful work of artists Matt Reynolds and Jordan Pack.
  14. Well, I'm currently trying to get more science in Kerbin. Lately I discovered that you can get "flying" situation under the KSC's mini-biomes (e.g. Kerbin's Launchpad, Kerbin's FlagPole, etc.). This was done by an accident: Moving toward the FlagPole at high speeds but low enough to not break any parts. And collecting science while doing so. However, any subsequent attempt to get to the "flying" situation (i.e. just don't touch the ground) would result me in taking the biome under it (i.e. Kerbin's Shores). I'm a Science hardcore, I'll go any lengths to extract science from a planet to the last bit. So please tell me if it's possible to get "flying" situation in the mini-biomes.
  15. https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/10/space-force-considers-merging-cape-canaveral-with-kennedy-space-center/?comments=1 It appears that Space Force are considering a merger of Cape Canaveral Space Force Station with Kennedy Space Centre in order to more efficiently utilise the range resources.
  16. Help! My rover cannot communicate with KSC. Two repeaters fly in orbit around Dune. The map shows that the rover is connected to the repeater, and the repeater is connected to the KSC. What's the matter?
  17. Having been discussing this, and slowly fleshing out the idea further, I would like to suggest a set of level 4 upgrades for each of the KSC facilities should be available, as well as (as a reach-goal) some way to upgrade the alternative launch sites (the Desert Runway needs an upgrade to its length/width/surface, in particular). Why: - Gameplay progression and "reach" goals for longer-running campaigns by more advanced players (although, these should not be out of reach of any player, they should require even greater Funds cost than the lvl 3 upgrades). - Rule of Cool. Bigger and more impressive facilities are a worthwhile goal in themselves, if it doesn't harm immersion/fun. - Realism. Real space centers, like Kennedy Space, took DECADES to reach their current size/scale. - Mods. Some of the features these level 4 facilities would provide would make some of the harder mods- such as Real Solar System scale-up's, a bit more playable on Career without having to tweak the Difficulty settings yourself. What the upgrades do/ look like: - Lvl 4 Launchpad. Somewhat bigger than the level 3 pad. Located a bit (maybe 10-20 meters) further away from the other buildings for range-safety of colosssl rockets if this is possible- otherwise the default distances should be increased 10-20 m or more (they are too small for realism, and increasing the distances a bit would add more of a sense of scale/size to the space center...) Maybe also adds a big, bare concrete pad nearby that still counts as Launchpad biome (100% recovery) for SpaceX-style recovery missions (the lvl 3 pad is an INCREDIBLY small taget to aim for landing on, and most players, except the truly crazy-skilled ones, just aim for anywhere near the KSC grounds for landing launch stages as a result...) - Lvl 4 Runway. Wider and longer than the KSC runway (currently 2.5 km long, the KSC runway in real life is 4.5 km, and quite a lot wider than the KSC one in game as well. I suggest at least 3.5 km for the level 4 runway, preferably 4-5 km). Maybe a bit thicker surface, for realism of handling heavier planes on it (could also justify then making the lvl 4 runway being a bit harder to destroy than the lvl 3 one). Wider runways will allow players to safely launch wider planes. The runway separation from the SPH should also be increased a bit (at least 10-15 m) for landing approaches of ultra-wide planes, range-safety of massive planes full if rocket fuel, and so wings of huge planes don't collide with SPH if players decide to taxi around near the SPH a bit. - Lvl 4 VAB. Larger/taller inside than the lvl 3 VAB, so players can see more of their tallest rockets (and have less of planes overflow the VAB when they merge really long shuttles/flyback boosters built in SPH, before attachment) without re-rooting of parts and constant shifting of the rocket stack. Larger exterior dimensions too, for immersion/coolness. - Lvl 4 SPH. Longer/wider internal dimensions than the lvl 3 SPH, for even longer/wider planes (having really wide planes that you can't see the wingtips of in the SPH is *particularly* annoying). Larger external dimensions for immersion/awesomeness/impressiveness. - Lvl 4 Tracking Center. Provides higher-powered DSN (so players have a better way to increase this with more immersion/coolness than just pulling up the DSN slider under Difficulty settings. I won't argue the necessityof the DSN upgrade beyond saying it'a both more realistic, and less obnoxiousfor players than building their own more powerful ground-stations on Kerbin and an enormous relay network just to provide stronger comms to Jool, or mods that expand the # of planets beyond Jool) and larger/more impressive-looking satellite dishes for the building. Maybe give the Tracking Center a proper parking-lot too? - Lvl 4 Astronaut Complex. Should provide a discount to astronaut-hiring costs (maybec10-20% off the base cost. 30%? 40%?) By the late-game, when you have a large crew roster, it becomes PROHIBITIVELY expensive to hire more Kerbalnauts (and forces players to just spam rescue-contracts to get more) or replace any lost crew members (w/o respawn). An option to refresh the current list of available hires, for a cost in Funds, for the lvl 4 complex (if you're going to spend a fortune on hiring, maybe you want a Pilot with better Courage, or a low Stupidity scientist? Helps with immersion/fun). - Lvl 4 Science Center. Purely a handout to modders. Lvl 3 center could be given a tech node cost limit beyond anything in the stock tree- allowing modders to lock parts behind a lvl 4 science center (which would remove all limits) for Career Mode balance and realism for futuristic parts taking even longer to obtain... Could possibly be disabled by default (but re-enabled under difficulty options, with a tooltip "just for looks in the stock gsme") if would annoy stock players. Could be larger/ more impressive than the lvl 4 center, so even some Stock players might use it, for coolness. Would of course also be default level in Sandbox/Science modes (so most players would still benefit from the cool model). - Lvl 4 Admin Building. Should come with a moderate (20-30%?) discount to buy-in costs for all strategies, or *maybe* add a few new, more powerful strategies (or allow existing strategiesto be set to 100%- with lvl 3 only going to 80%, and the strategies all being buffed a bit). Would make the game a bit easier if players bought it- but at VERY low Return On Investment (as the upgrade would be very expensive). Besides, most players don't use the Admin building much. This might give players a *bit* more motive to do so. Could also cone with a larger/cooler building model, maybe also a bigger parking lot? (To represent the increased staffing demands of a more mature apace program, and all the complex clerical work that makes modern space programs possible...) These are just ideas for what each of the lvl 4 upgrades could do- amd I'm sure other players could come up with even better ideas! This is a great game, and little improvements like this (or in the case of players who struggle with launching/landing enormous rockets on the puny lvl 3 pad/runway, BIG improvements...) would make the game even better. I don't expect everyone will agree with me on thos, or all the details, but I would like people not to be closed-mindef about this, or respond "there's a mod for that!". Thank you all for reading this! I think some lvl 4 upgrades, as part of the base game, would be a nice way to show appreciation for the KSP community- and by showing players the game is continuing to grow/evolve in a VERY noticeable way to any playthrough, would keep them involved- and more likely to consider buying KSP 2 and any future expansions for KSP as well...
  18. "Turning KSP into Orbiter since May 2020" So I'm posting this since some users thought it was really cool and wanted to play with it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download: https://github.com/Katniss218/KatnisssCapeCanaveral/releases/tag/1.2.2 (copy-paste everything into the game-data and replace existing files) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Da big list of disclaimers, info and trivia, etc: Requires Module Manager Requires Kerbal Konstructs for the LC39A/B launchpads. RSS-Textures (RSS) should be installed beforehand otherwise it will override the modified heightmap (and make visual glitches!). The mod (custom heightmap) ONLY compatible with the new textures (16bpp). RSS-Textures 18.2+ required! Seems that having KSCSwitcher makes the camera go underground (makes the screen black) - zoom out (scroll wheel) for a temporary "fix". This mod moves the KSC (and us_cape_canaveral in KSCSwitcher) and therefore might conflict with your other KK statics (I think it only affects ungrouped objects). Contains an 8k color & normal maps for the main mesh and 4k color & normal maps for LC39. Textures based off of Google satellite imagery (free for non-commercial use). Install Omega's Stockalike Structures (OSSNTR) to get a real VAB. This mod also contains Uranus rings (separate files, so if you don't want it, just delete it). Shuttle Runway comes with a collider, the rest of the cape does not. It's not 100% complete, and with me being me, it probably won't ever be, therefore it's a release already Cape mesh contains about ~19k manually placed vertices (37k + 2*24k triangles in total). I can't really verify compatibility with RP-0/RP-1 - LC39 should allow practically unlimited mass, size, etc, and cost $0, because balance! I don't know what I'm doing.

  19. RACE AROUND THE WORLD This is a challenge of speed and precision: Take off from KSC, fly around Kerbin, and return to KSC. Shortest elapsed time wins. The Fine Print: 1. Craft must be Kerballed. 2. Craft can launch from either the Launchpad or the Runway at KSC. 3. Craft must land on the runway at KSC. (At least 1 landing gear touching the paved area.) 4. HTOL and VTOL and any combination are fine. 5. Staging is fine. 6. No crash-landing or lithobraking. (no breaking parts on touchdown.) 7. No mods which add parts, or change physics (DLC is fine). 8. Time stops when the craft stops (<1m/s). 9. No glitch-drives, Kraken-drives, or drain-valve engines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submission: It's always more fun to watch videos. If you can't provide a video then show a photo of the craft at launch, the craft mid-flight, and the craft landed (stopped). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Leader-board: 1. @ManEatingApe 21:50 2. @jinnantonix 22:50 3. @RoninFrog 23:25 4. @mystifeid 24:19 5. @Mars-Bound Hokie 34:53 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Honorable Mention (got close or otherwise earned some extra attention): ... ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is some inspiration to get you started. I won't put it on the leader-board, it'll just provide a benchmark at the beginning.
  20. Who doesn't like a good KSC race? This one is simple: Jeb needs to pee and the only working toilet is in the VAB. He's no layman so he isn't using the front door. Get him from the launchpad to the Helipad atop the VAB ASAP! It's just that simple, get from the Launch Pad, to the Helipad in the shortest time. Parachutes are acceptable. Aggressive lithobraking is fine. Kraken driven trebuches are encouraged. Rules: 1. Craft is "Manned." 2. Kerbal must arrive alive. 3. No non-stock parts, DLC okay. 4. Stock physics. Helper and aesthetic mods are fine. 5. No cheating: hyperedit, F12, etc. The time stops when either; Your craft is moving less than 1.0m/s, or your Kerbal is Standing on the helipad. That's standing, not laying down. Videos are always more fun to watch but a pic of your craft on the launchpad followed by a pic of it on the Helipad will do. Make sure you show the time. Get creative, I'm guessing this is going to be a very tight race. The 5 Second Club: The 10 Second Club: Leader-board (Glitch/Kraken): 1. @dnbattley - 2 Seconds ... ... Leader-board (Traditional): 1. @dnbattley- 4 Seconds 2. @Pro100kerbonaut - 6 Seconds 3. @ZZetho - 11 Seconds 4. @Klapaucius - 16 Seconds ... Here is a little inspiration for you guys. I'm sure this time will get stomped pretty quickly.
  21. So, I've been having a problem with some of the textures in KSC Extended (and it's dependencies I suppose). Namely, they've gone black. I've installed the latest versions of the listed dependencies on the 1.8.1 version of KSP with both DLC expansions. I'm unable to pin down the cause and I am also running my KSP in OpenGL, if that may be the problem. If someone can find a solution, that would be well appreciated!
  22. As you might know (and you probably do), there is an island airfield not too far from the KSC. But how often do you use it? For this challenge, you must put the island to use by making it a tourist attraction(due to the KSC spending all their funds on snacks)! This attraction can be anything! A hotel, a statue, a flying ice cream cone, anything! Then you must ferry at least 12 tourists to the KSC peninsula for a tour! From there you must visit every building in the KSC, including the launchpad and runway. The tour can be by surface or air, as long as you visit every building. The Expansion packs are allowed for transport to the island airfield to start, and visual mods are allowed. Hyperedit is allowed, HOWEVER, it can only be used to move craft to the island runway. To sum it up, your goal is to take at least 12 tourist Kerbals from the island airfield and attraction to the KSC to visit every building, or vice versa. Happy touring!
  23. From the video above we can make out a few things about the new KSC. -The first and foremost thing is that the KSC is now separated into islands in a marsh/pond like area. -Second, it has not 1, but 2 very larger runways, I would argue these are longer and possibly wider than KSC OG Runway. -Third, next to those runways are helipads, or if you're a propulsive landing fanatic, they could double as landing pads for boosters. I only catch a glimpse of 4 pads, but I assume there are five or more due to the placement and how equal distant they look along the runway. -Fourth, there are 4 launch pads, possibly 5 or more, all ranging in size and shape. At least one pad has a launch tower, but it can be argued they all do, ranging in size and shape. --The launch towers are on crawlers. Whether these crawlers are able to move or be controlled is unknown at this time. -Fifth, buildings, launch pads and runways do not have a destruction feature built into the game as of yet, but as they have said they want to put everything KSP 1 had and more in, I don't doubt that at release destructible entities will exist. -Sixth, the communication array at the KSC seems to be altered from three dishes to one massive dish. -Seventh, the rockets on the launch pad have chill or cooling effects. You can make out mist falling off the rockets, a sign of real world cryofueled rockets. This effect also lasts for a few seconds after launch, and possibly further. -Eighth, launch pads have or can be outfitted with engine igniters. This might be a sign that engines are more realistic and have starter fuel. This also might be a sign that fuel tanks might need to be settled before engine ignition can begin. Watch out for your upper stages if this is the case. -Ninth, the launch pad the rocket is sitting on may be a part. Modular launch pads my be stock in KSP2. "It didn't explode though." It may have a higher tolerance or may not have damage programed into it. It may be an immortal part as of this footage, but may change at launch or just before launch. -Tenth, The launch tower may be a part, modular launch towers may be stock. "It didn't explode though." See ninth point. -Eleventh, The crawler the launch tower is on may be a part, crawlers might finally be in game. "It didn't explode though." See ninth point. These are the things I noticed in the pre-alpha footage. If I missed anything, please do say so.
  24. As the title implies, your goal is to land on the roof of the KSC, however, this is not your every day land on the roof challenge: Tight engineering restrictions make this a true challenge, one for the can-do-all types. You have to be good not only at engineering an aircraft that fits the rules, but also have the hands required to put it where I ask you to, in the way I ask you to. You might post any attempt with any craft for fun, but competing runs must adhere to the following: Procedures & Rules: •To create a fair experience for everyone, mods are not allowed for competing runs, in any form, save for information mods like engineer. Parts, physics or skill affecting mods (such as airplane plus, FAR/NEAR or mechjeb's autopilot respectively) are definitely not allowed. Again, for clarification: NO MODS - Even if not doing so with malicious intent or even knowledge, you might be gaining advantages over all-stock entries. With the tight regulation margins of this challenge, that's something I can't allow. •Create an aircraft that meets the following criteria •Your aircraft, once built, has to take off from the default runway without any kind of assistance (towers for example), and land at the two helipads on the KSC rooftop. The flight and landing have to meet the following criteria: Lastly, to validate your entry, your aircraft must meet the following criteria after completely stopping: As you can see there's no score system, a successful landing with a craft that follows the rules is all you need. I'll probably make a badge or something to include in your signature. TL;DR - Short, precision landing competition for "standard" aircraft, except the runway is the two helipads on the roof of the VAB. Have fun. You can post entries that don't follow the rules as well, but of course they won't count. My attempt, includes F3 screen to show that nothing fell off after that little slide lol: https://streamable.com/7r7mm
  25. Right now i have a 110 km orbit, but i have 4 main questions: Where to put the maneuver node, where to aim the periapsis, how high the periapsis should be, and how to calculate with all that to the earth's rotation, and the drag what air makes. I made a test flight earlier on with the shuttle, and then i put the node 90 degrees ahead of the KSC and aimed the periapsis 90 degrees beyond the KSC, but i only used my eye, (just like i read somewhere in wiki) and when i reached the maneuver node, the KSC and the periapsis alligned up just to the right direction, but now, i have no idea how to recreate it again.
