PS4 (no pro), career mode. Main mission to perform docking on or around Kerbin 1) I shot one rocket to the orbit 2) I shot second rocket to the orbit. 3) I docked them together (mission completed) 4) I undocked them and brought one of them back to the ground. 5) After recovering the vessel, both ships were recovered (including both pilots, etc). The second ship did not stayed on the orbit.

I've played KSP on and off for a couple of years now, but always struggled getting the game to run smoothly on my aged laptop. With everything turned down to minimum, it could just about chug along. Having long since given up the dream of having a nice gaming PC, I took the plunge and went for a PS4 for my 50th birthday. I've really enjoyed some of the games (namely Witcher 3, Cities Skylines, MudRunner and AC: Origins) but missed the mental workout that you get from KSP. So, when I saw the Enhanced Edition had arrived on the Play Station Store, I crossed my fingers and bought it straight away. I've started afresh in my favourite game mode - Science. No angry customers when things go a little off plan and as much tax payers money as my Space Program needs. I've just completed my first Mun Fly-by and I have to say I'm rather pleasantly surprised. The controls are never going to be as intuitive as the traditional keyboard and mouse but after only a day's play, I was able to do everything I wanted to and, more to the point, didn't do anything unintentional. It's nice to see the game a little more like how it's supposed to look. With the better textures and shadows (beyond my previous laptops abilities) you get a much better sense of height above the ground. Sure, I'm going to miss the wonderful Better Burn Time mod, but at least I'm back in the game.

I know the answer to this is already on the forum, but I just can't seem to find it. Could someone please clarify how you both set and remove trim whilst using the Radial Control preset on PS4 please? I've managed to accidentally set the trim on one axis or another (usually roll) and I've also managed to clear it, but however I managed it, I don't seem to be able to repeat the procedure. Another more general question - does anyone have a link to the full set of controls when using the Radial preset? I haven't been able to find a full list and have stumbled across quite a number of useful controls whilst experimenting. I'm actually finding the radio menu's to be almost as easy and quick to select as the mouse keyboard combination on the PC, but it would be nice to have a complete crib sheet. Cheers Clipper

The new edition looks good but is buggy. I am playing in career mode and i am finding vehicles i just recovered still out there needing to be recovered. I also did my first rescue mission and just finished the space walk transfer and had time before my reentry so i went to the tracking station to clear the other ship and when i jumped back the kerbel was gone from my ship and my ship was reset back to where i was before where i am guessing it last auto saved. Lost that whole mission and cost. Leaving the tracking station to the KSC has bad lag and graphics problems. And i do not like the throttle controls. They are reversed from your first attempt and it feels wrong. So i guess my question is, is there a way to change that? Tried the analog throttle but there was no change. On the plus side it hasn't crashed or lost my data. So maybe a hot fix in a week or two not a year or two.

Here is a list of bug I encountered (PS4, default control scheme): 1) I can recover ships even from space (getting parts, crew and science back) 2) When getting from tracking station to space center the enviromentns is loading slowly part by part, object by object. It is not game breaking but adding longer loading screen to hide this may look better. 3) Sometimes windows (at least the notification about new achievements) can not be closed. Once you open it, and switch off the cursor mode (L3) the "continue" and "exit" buttons does not appear and window can not be closed. It is drawing the focus, so the game becomes unplayable. 3) I still have a problem that from time to time my ship is not responding to any commands (rotations, staging). This happens both in ships and EVA (can not move the Kerbal). Switching to tracking station and back helps. Here are some potentional problems I alraedy excluded: - I have electricity (so the rotation is not stopped because of this) - I dont have locked staging mode - Im not in the time warp mode - I dont have RCS enabled As far as I know all these can also "lock you our from controls" (and as noob it took me while to fiure them out when I had these problems by mistake). But when the problem occurs it has to be even something else. 4) Sometimes progress is not saved when switching between buildings or recovering vessels. For example you accept the mission, go back to the space center and the mission is not accepted and you have to do it again. Similar problem leads to loose of mission progress. I have mission to test chute. I completed the mission (all green in the mission log, I got the notifications about obejctives and contract completed. I could see the money on my account). But as soon as I recovered the vessel, the mission was again active and no money on my account. Recovery behaved like loading the state before mission. I tried this several times with same result. What helped is to save the game during the mission (when objectives are completed). Then they remained completed even after ship recovery. Apart from this, the game is running fine for me.

Hi all, After an enforced break from KSP, due to the lack of a laptop/PC to play it on, I was delighted to see the new port to PS4 has been released. As an aside, so far I'm impressed. The radial control menu's take a little getting used to, but I'm surprised how easy it is to do things after being used to the keyboard mouse combo. The only thing I can't work out how to do; in order to choose the option "Warp to next maneuver node" you have to be on the map screen. Once you start the time warp, is there any way to switch back to the main view, or do you have to stay in map view? It's not a major issue, but I do like to watch my target getting closer as I travel! Regards Clipper

PS4. When I revert the flight back to VAB, I return to the VAB but the ship and crew don't. Lost Jeb, Val and Bill because I didn't realize before it was too late. Restarted game and console but problem continues. Sad...just sad. I have found that reverting back to launchpad and recovering the vehicle works.

Hello everyone! We are super excited to announce that Kerbal Space Program Enhanced Edition is coming out on January 16th, 2018 and it will be available on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Kerbal Space Program Enhanced Edition is a new console version built from the ground up in collaboration with the experienced team of BlitWorks. Exclusive to the Enhanced Edition, we included re-worked and console-optimized UI, the addition of a new control scheme for the maneuver nodes controls, and three completely reworked controller presets that players will be able to switch between at any time during play: Cursor, Radial and Simplified. Click here to learn more. Kerbal Space Program Enhanced Edition also incorporates the KSP 1.2.2 “Loud and Clear” update. This version includes a broad range of improvements and features that will improve the overall game experience from the prior console version, such as the introduction of CommNet and KerbNet, more tweakable options of many parts, a complete fuel system overhaul, and much more! We also want to reiterate our commitment to stand by our promise to the owners of the previous console version, who will be able to redeem the Enhanced Edition free of cost. KSP Enhanced Edition will appear on your library as a separate game and no data will be overwritten from the older versions, so you won’t lose your progress in those versions. However, because the Enhanced Edition was built from the ground up, save files from the previous version will not be compatible with the new Enhanced Edition. But that does mean you’ll be able to get those trophies and achievements a second time! Happy launchings! [UPDATE] Here are the detailed release timings for the various territories where the game is going to be released on both platforms: · Xbox One: KSP Enhanced Edition will be available on the Xbox Store at Midnight in your Local Time Zone. · PlayStation 4 (North and South America): KSP Enhanced Edition will be available on the PlayStation Store at Midnight EST. · PlayStation 4 (Europe): KSP Enhanced Edition will be available on the PlayStation Store at Midnight in your Local Time Zone. · PlayStation 4 (SGT/HKT/TWT): KSP Enhanced Edition will be available on the PlayStation Store between 10:00am and 12:00pm in your Local Time Zone.

Firstly, thanks to Squad and Blitworks for making the enhanced edition, even with all the major issues in the last version, I still dumped many hours in playing because I had so much fun anyways, and now I can do so even more to my hearts content... Thanks! Anyways, I've been doing a science play through to help get me more familiar with the parts and new controls before going into a career mode, but early on I was playing with space planes and when putting on one of the wings, they started bugging out and disappearing briefly, flickering in and out of existence. I tried to move it to alleviate the error, but instead it just left a ghost of itself in the original place, still flickering. I couldn't move or delete the ghost, but I could delete the actual part. I don't remember what wing it was, but it was one of the bigger ones you get from the first science unlock for wings.. The reason I mention this is because its the only reasonable thing I can think of that caused what I'm about to explain next. After going back to the space center and reloading into SPH, it worked fine... until I tried to launch my plane. The camera spawns in pretty randomly, sometimes under the runway, in the sky, or just pitch black. I can't pause, bring up the cursor, move the camera, or anything. Also, the time in the top left always says 999 for the years and days and what not.This continued to happen no matter how many times I reloaded. To get out of it, I have to close application and not do it again. Any help is appreciated P.S. Wow, okay. I just tested it again to confirm some of my info, and it loaded in fine... This had been happening my entire playthrough from the start and it suddenly works. I will leave this here though, because its still a pretty serious bug to have happen, and hopefully it can be recreated so it can be fixed. To clarify, this bug had been happening for a long awhile, I have no idea what fixed it suddenly.

So far this is the only bug I had come across, but it happens often. I've unlocked Tech from the R&D building only to have it relocked after going into the VAB. Happened 2 or 3 different times Contracts that I have taken have disappear after entering the VAB building. Happened 3 or 4 different times Last game I played I took a couple of contracts then time warp to next morning. When into VAB, built my ship and when I went to launch it was back to night, however the contracts I accepted where still there. Happened twice. Built a ship for tourists, loaded the tourists in, went and launched only to realize when I got to space my tourists weren't there. Had to revert and re board them. This happen on 3 different occasions. I play on PS4 and use the radial controls. I am not 100% sure but from my recollection it happens when I enter the VAB building and it's usually the last action I did that reverts.

Hello everyone! We have an exciting announcement to make regarding Kerbal Space Program on console. Here at the KSP HQ, we put the players at the heart of every decision we make and everything we do. We are very fortunate that an amazing community grew around KSP, whose members are passionate, supportive, engaged and provide us with invaluable feedback that we are always monitoring and listening to. We are currently working to bring Kerbal Space Program 1.2.2. - Loud and Clear! as a free update for console versions, allowing players to enjoy the game at its fullest. We are working hand in hand with BlitWorks, who specialize in optimizing PC games for consoles and have worked on several hit independent games for several platforms. We’re thrilled about our collaboration and we’re certain that our conjoint efforts will bear the fruits we are hoping for. The latest Update, Kerbal Space Program 1.2.2 - Loud and Clear! for consoles will let you enjoy a broad range of improvements and features that will enrich the overall game experience, such as the introduction of CommNet and KerbNet, a rewrite of the Stability Assist System (SAS) that makes your launches more accurate and fuel efficient, more tweakable options for many parts, a complete fuel system redesign, and much more! This update will be FREE for all owners of the Xbox One and PS4 versions, regardless of the date of purchase. Moreover, we are also very happy to announce, that with this update's launch, the PS4 port will be made available in Europe, too! Our goal is to release the Updates early next year. Here are some of the highlights for this update: Set up your own communications networks and have better control over your probes even when they cannot establish a direct connection. Link your probes back to Kerbin via an antenna to be completely autonomous and build relay networks for better science transmission! Use satellites for reconnaissance purposes, scan the terrain below you, find biomes and anomalies, and place custom waypoints with a targeting interface. The Fuelflow system has been rewritten and now you have total control over how the fuel flows through your vessels! The stability of Wheels has been greatly improved. Your rovers, wheeled vehicles will now turn and handle smoothly, making the overall driving experience more pleasant. Aircraft are also more stable, and all wheels have realistic load limits. You can see the full 1.2.2 changelog here : =================================== v1.2.0 ============================================================ +++ *Fix data corruption file issue *Fix freezing issues at VAB and SHP +++Unity 5.4 * Engine change from 5.2 to 5.4.0p4 +++Libraries and Packages * Implemented Text Mesh Pro, which basically vectorizes all of our fonts, making them look much better, especially at larger font sizes. Also has a lot of extra utility that we can leverage for various effects. * Upgraded Vectrosity to latest version. * Upgraded Vehicle Physics Pro to latest version. +++Code cleanup * Heavily reduced garbage generation caused by foreach loops, Linq usage, and various other things. * Made sure that all of our singleton classes properly clean themselves up. * Optimized KerbalEVA. * Rewrote CrewManifest and related crew handling (roster, vessel crew list, etc). * Optimized PartModules. * Optimize latitude/longitude/altitude calls to often use a combined get-all method. * Fix how some enumerator interfaces are declared in classes. * Optimized waypoint site name generation to generate a lot less garbage with its string lists. * Many part modules now cache parts instead of polling the entire vessel multiple times per frame. * Revised how most forces and torques are applied (see note on this subject below in Moddability). * Added DoubleCurve * ScenarioModules now awake and load during game load and so are valid in modules' OnStart. * Considerable work to Krakensbane and FloatingOrigin to improve precision and performance and lower garbage. * Various ISRU fixes and performance improvements. * Default KSPEvents and KSPActions to being nonpersistent in terms of state. This means all their fields won't be serialized/deserialized to and from the save game files. * Now always use g0 = 9.80665 and G (big G) = 6.67408e-11 for gravitational constants. +++Flow Overhaul * Rewrote resource flow entirely. Now just four flow modes. Can set per-tank priority for all but AllVessel and NoFlow. Surface crossfeed for rocket engines as well as jets. Fixed priority issues. Much faster. PartResources no longer MonoBehaviours. Can set crossfeed per attach node. Electric Charge now uses STAGE_PRI so can be prioritized. Resource transfer in flight can be set to require valid crossfeed for those resources which obey crossfeed. With Advanced Tweakables on, can see flow graph in VAB/SPH (right-click on a part). +++SAS * Fixed SAS unlocking for all ships in physics range when maneuvering the ship in focus. * The code for the older “Stability Assist” and somewhat newer “Pilot Steering” modes has been unified. * SAS now dynamically adjusts for the vessel’s mass properties and available control authority. * SAS uses a “stability decay” method to reduce oscillations (or twitching) when very near the target orientation. * Pilot Steering modes now include a “coast” and “stop” mode when transitioning between steering points. +++Wheels * WheelColliders are now properly handled by collision manager, and no longer require the wheel "blocking" workaround to clip into other parts. * Fix hill "sticking" force overcompensating, resulting in a not so slow drift uphill when parked on one with wheels or legs. * Wheel deployment modules now search along the animation timeline upon retraction for the time closest to where the wheel suspension is located, instead of starting from 100%. This fixes the hop when retracting landing legs. * Added tweakable that allows player to specify whether his wheels deploy while shielded in a cargo bay. * Fix landing legs being exported to the wrong collision layer. * Wheel gravity is now properly handled in a standard manner, which should fix a good deal of instability. * Fix EVA kerbals blowing up wheels on contact. They now go through them. * Fixed landing legs teleporting from a semi-deployed state to a semi-retracted state when retracted. * Wheel damage does not process damage for two seconds after a vessel loads, prevents spontaneous explosions. * Suspension colliders are no longer disabled for 0.5 seconds upon retract, causing them to fall through the ground momenarily, blowing up your engines. * Deployable landing gear and legs now have deployment sounds. +++Communications Networks * Additional functionality and gameplay components to the Antenna and Probe parts through a series of distinct but related mechanics. When CommNet is enabled, probes will require a connection back to Kerbin or to a control point to have full control, and crewed vessels lacking pilots will have slightly limited control without such a connection. Relays can extend the range of such connections and bounce signals around planets and moons that would otherwise occlude. Science transmission receives a bonus for high signal strength. New antenna parts allow building complex networks, which can be visualized in map view. See KSPedia for more details. +++KerbNet * Added KerbNet, which allows the player to see terrain under their satellite, and place custom waypoints with a targeting interface. Allows the player to see biomes and anomalies at higher levels. Scan field of view for KerbNet varies by part and smoothly changes between surface altitude and orbital altitude. * KerbNet allows all probes and labs manned by a scientist to map as long as they have a communications network connection that eventually bounces to Kerbin. * Gave KerbNet visibility modes to hide some of the interface around the map. * Gave KerbNet auto-refresh settings to allow it to refresh without player intervention. * Gave KerbNet enhanced mode, which activates on some vessels such as rovers to give them better sensors in certain situations. * Add game option that allows KerbNet to either orient to the orbit normal, preventing flipping when passing over the poles, or to orient to north, which is less disorienting for some players. * Many aspects of KerbNet given flavor and fluff. Scanning a sun results in yellow and white noise, scanning a gas giant is similar except hued based on that planet. Stars and scan static can appear in the background past the horizon of a scan. * Resources can specify a scientific abbreviation. Utilized in KerbNet for the mode icon. +++Debug Window * Completely overhauled the debug window to utilize new Unity GUI. * New debug console has syntax highlighting that highlights classes with persistent pastel colors if they bracket their names. [Bracket] your class names in debug logs modders. * New debug console has command input support which is moddable, type /help for a full listing of commands, and what they do. * Added new debug screen for creating kerbals with specific names, genders, skills, levels, and classes. * Debug options for displaying errors/exceptions as screen messages. * Added set orbit debug cheat screen. * Added rendezvous controls to set orbit debug cheat screen. +++Orbits * All anomalies (ObT, mean anomaly, eccentric anomaly, true anomaly) are now consistently negative when approaching the periapsis for both elliptical and hyperbolic trajectories (previously, only hyperbolic trajectories used negative anomalies). This means that eccentric anomaly and true anomaly are now in the range -pi..pi instead of 0..2pi for elliptical trajectories. * Reference frames instead of quaternions are used for calculating orbital position and velocity, leading to increased speed when rendering patched conics. * Improved precision in orbit calculations. * Rewrote orbit targeting / closest approach finding. * Fixed issues where objects jump when going on and off rails. * Fix target orientation markers when the target is on rails. * Refactored such that orbital position and velocity and vessel position and velocity are correct for the FixedUpdate cycle. * Made target relative velocity work for celestial bodies. * Trajectories that re-encounter a body just escaped are now detected. * Trajectories that encounter two bodies now correctly show the first encounter even if it is further out (eg, Mun stealing a Minmus encounter). * Elliptical encounter trajectories no longer flicker. * Conic patch settings (draw mode and limit) are now exposed in the Video Settings. * Added game option for legacy orbit targeting. * Map node labels space themselves out nicely when cluttered. * Targeting info for moons in other SoIs now works. +++Contracts * Contracts are now also weighted by celestial body, so if the player starts declining contracts to Jool, they will see them less often. * Contracts now keep track of if they have been viewed. There are three states: unseen, seen but not clicked, and clicked and read. * Contract weighting now applies negative weight if a contract has been viewed when it expires. * Exploration contracts now always appear in Mission Control if there is not one currently available. * Explore contracts overhauled, they now utilize the same logic World Firsts used to use to select a "package" of related objectives. They can appear multiple times per planet now, and should have a much more logical progression than they used to. * Exploration contract progression slowed slightly, now requires science on a planet before allowing a fly by of the next one. Also, in the early game, return from orbit and return from fly by are required before advancing on the Muns of the homeworld. * Removed old single objective World First contracts, other than the initial four. * Waypoint captions for survey contracts now state the altitude band of each waypoint. * Fix contract orbits not cleaning up properly when their contracts are cancelled as opposed to completed. * Grand tour contracts now require a new vessel to complete, so they cannot be cheesed by keeping one around that has seen every planet. * Fix contextual surveys not properly bouncing the navigation waypoint. * Asteroid recovery objective reworded and given a note for clarity. * Asteroid side objectives in facility construction contracts will now not appear unless the same requirements for asteroid recovery contracts to appear are met. * Crew transfer progress tracking objective reworded to make it clear that it does not need to utilize existing crew. * Reworded objective to hold above a waypoint in stationary orbit contracts for clarity. * If Kerbal G limits are enabled, tourists can either require going unconscious or require not going unconscious during the trip. Check the parameter details! * Adjusted Exploration contract flavor text to work better in multi-objective scenarios. +++Biomes * Biomes for many bodies have been redesigned for clarity, beauty, and utility. And we've hidden a few extra surprises around as well! +++Easter Eggs * Added hidden fun stuff to almost every planet. * Mohole given an empty PQSCity, which allows it to appear in KerbNet. * Gave many easter eggs colliders. * Fix Duna's SSTV not playing. * Unburied Duna's MSL. +++Other Work * Advanced Tweakables option in Gameplay Settings. With it off, some advanced features are hidden. Defaults off. * Autostrutting available for all parts (AT). * Autostruts can be gated behind a technology in career and science mode defined in Physics.cfg, by default it is the same technology regular struts are on. * Add grandparent mode to auto-struts. * Parachutes can have automatic holding of deployment until safe (AT). * Actuation toggles now affect symmetry counterparts in editor (some other RCS/gimbal bits do too). Also hidden under Advanced Tweakables (AT). * Utilize HSV color space in more locations. * Quadrupled the amount of loading screen messages. You know, the important stuff. * Loads of new options in the difficulty settings. * Science data can be transferred by the part-part transfer mechanic (for certain probe cores). * Added physics easing for when landed/splashed vessels come off rails. * Certain probe cores (and the new science container part) can transfer data with no EVA required. * There is an additional drag curve whose function is to raise drag coefficient to a power based on the mach number. This leads to blunter things having (relatively) more drag supersonic than they did and pointier things having (relatively) less than they did. Pods will slow down better on steep reentries and planes will produce drag in better proportion to how streamlined they are (less overpowered airplane drag). * Fairings now include support for placing multiple payloads in them (and showing trusses for said payloads). * Tourist contracts work better with the Kerbal Gee Tolerance option. * Add a small negative contract weight for contracts that are read but not accepted. * Existing resource narrow band scanner ported to KerbNet interface, allowing it to zoom, among other things. * Removed biome readout information and flag rendering on narrow band scanner. * Added ellipsis to many text labels and fields, to prevent overflow while looking nice. * Input keys in the settings screen automatically expand with screen resolution. * Default parachute deployment mode set to "when safe" - players everywhere rejoice. * All tooltips cooked to a nice golden color. * Added Viewmatic Survey Satellite stock relay craft. * Added /b4d455 command, which starts a game off with basically everything. * Background ambiance in the space center scene now fades smoothly between birds by day and crickets by night. * Background ambiance in the space center scene now fades out when at max time warp. * Background ambiance in general no longer always starts at zero, it randomly seeks when the scene loads. Hence, loading a game no longer immediately plays the exact same bird trill. * Most stock planes given a look over based on player feedback. * Added editor part categories for ground, electrical, communication, thermal, payload, and coupling parts. * Screen message text given much higher visibility. * Facilities in the space center now have verbose context menus in sandbox mode, allowing you to see their upgrades. They always show the maximum level of upgrades. * "Require Complete" on antennae is now persistent and its state is saved. * Added community contest winner kerbal and unique waypoint names. * Camera can now be pointed at parts, not just vessel center of mass. * Added Plane and Relay vessel types/icons. * Airbrakes now have deployment limits. * Rebalance fairing panel mass downwards slightly. * Difficulty options for limiting part pressure and G-force tolerance. * Difficulty option for kerbal G-force tolerance. Kerbals go unconscious if their tolerance is exceeded. * Slight performance tweaks to some early 1.25m engines. * Swap around some early science parts in the tech tree. * Redid Eve's atmospheric pressure curve to smooth it out and remove errors. Eve's atmosphere thins out much faster now, so the high atmosphere is thinner. Also tweaked Jool's atmosphere so it rapidly goes from 15 atmospheres to 50 in the last few kilometers to achieve crushing pressures. * Can right-click on icons in the staging list to trigger the Part Action Window. * Support Rigid Attachment (non-bendy) option for part joints in cfg and in the PAW. * Added an "Action Groups Always Allowed" advanced difficulty option. * Add 0.625m heat shield. * Lift from capsules and heat shields better handled to make lifting reentries better (easier). * Restructured in-flight pause menu to better show all options. * Don't lock all controls when using Warp To, only some. * Fix terrain vanishing at 1000m depth. * Allow targeting of close vessels by double-clicking. * Angle the canopies of parachutes in symmetry away from each other. * Resource transfer rate when transferring between parts now based on ingame time (taking warp into account) not realtime. * Fix issues with TR-2L stats. * Show tooltips on kerbal portraits. * Fix scientist skill text. * Fix issue with ladders not being re-grab-able if you board a seat, retract a ladder, leave the seat, then extend the ladder. * Update maneuver node patches (for targeting) when the vessel target changes. * The runway lights now follow the day/night cycle. * Moved a low tech wheel to a lower tech tier. * Moved an atmospheric sensor down to the science tech branch. +++Misc Fixes and Changes * Fixed issue where disabled RCS would enable during staging. Mods need to set stagingEnabled=False in their ModuleRCS blocks (unless they want staging on). * Catch exceptions during part loading so the loading process doesn't come to a halt. * Fix some issues with decouple modules, allow specifying the ejection force vector. * Try/catch the other PartModule update loops so one bad module doesn't interrupt others. * Don't try to set constant KSPFields. * Null check when getting resource mass on unloaded vessels with removed resources. * Remove some debug spam when querying Science Subjects by ID. * Fix Resource Display to show all resources correctly. * Improve launch clamp stability on revert. * Fix an issue with ModuleTripLogger not applying to kerbals in non-root parts. * Ablative shields with Ablator tweaked down in the VAB no longer show up pre-scorched in flight. * Ablative shields no longer show solid black when reaching zero ablator. * Fix serious regression with flow multipliers in ModuleEnginesFX. * Fix a wrong rotation in Moment of Intertia calculations. * Correct stock temperature gauges to use gauge threshold. * Fixed currency symbols not displaying properly when UI scale is changed by using inline Text Mesh Pro sprites. * Probe cores now have a hibernate feature which offers only partial control when activated but draws much less electricity. Can be set to automatically hibernate in warp (advanced tweakable). * Added a game setting for default throttle (rather than keeping it in Physics.cfg). * Fix bug where space center view can be messed up on loading a save from the main menu if the game was switched away from during load (old workaround was clear the input locks). * Renamed Science Tech to Scanning Tech since that's what it's for. * Fixed where CoPOffset and CoLOffset had CoMOffset added to them during application. * Fixed where an exception during loading of parts would stop the game loading. * IVA navball works like normal navball (vectors hidden when velocity is too small, radial and normal cues show only in Orbit mode). * Fix an issue where prop requirement met (on engine menus) was not being intuitively correct. See note in Moddability, below, for how to update jet parts. * Fix kerbals sliding on ladders. * For EVA kerbals, 'SAS' light shows whether the kerbal will reorient when a translate key is pressed (as set in Input Settings). T toggles this behavior when in EVA mode. * Several dialogs (such as quicksave) now accept Escape and Enter keys for dismissing or accepting contents.

(onVesselPartCountChanged, onVesselModified, docked, undocked, et al) * Added onScreenResolutionModified event, fires when the screen resolution is modified. * Added many accessors/setters. * Vessel control level can be clamped to a field in Vessel (so can be restricted to Partial even if otherwise would be Full). * GetModuleMass/Cost methods can now be passed the situation. * Fix where kerbal mass (if set to nonzero) was not applied in the editor. * Added two new dictionary-related classes (DictionaryValueList and ListDictionary). * Celestial bodies now cache all of their PQS Cities. * All game root nodes now generate a random persistent seed, which is different from game to game. * All forces on valid parts except wheel forces are now done via Part.AddForce/Torque/AddForceAtPosition. Note that the forcemode used is Force; to use a different forcemode, convert the force to the correct amount. It is the job of the Flight Integrator to then apply all these forces to actual rigidbodies (rather than all the disparate modules' job). * Use mass-weighted average angular velocity of parts for vessel angular velocity. * ITorqueProvider now reports two Vector3s, positive torque (that produced by control actuation 1,1,1) and negative torque (that produced by -1,-1,-1). * Added various accessors. * Node definitions can take an extra digit after size, either 0 or 1: that sets whether the node can crossfeed. Defaults to 1 (yes). NODE definitions can take crossfeed = True/False * ModuleEngines now supports `clampPropReceived = True`. This will clamp the ratio of propellant requested based on prior results, so if IntakeAir is listed first and less than the full requirement is returned, it will request only that ratio of further propellants. In this case the "Prop Req Met" display will show the minimum requirement-met ratio rather than the average. Engines that use IntakeAir (or other cases like that) need to have `clampPropReceived = True` in each of their MODULEs that do that, and need to have that PROPELLANT first and the other PROPELLANTs later. See stock jet cfgs for examples. * Added another crew transfer event. * Added more startup options for KSPAddon * Allow kerbals to have/save/load arbitrary experience points. * ResearchAndDevelopment.GetTechnologyTitle(string id) will convert a tech ID to a tech title and is available as soon as parts start loading (can be used in GetInfo() ). * Support max pressure (dynamic + static), `maxPressure`, and max G, `gTolerance`, for parts. * Added system to allow mods to add custom difficulty settings. * Added CelestialBody.hasSurface so mods that add a PQSController to gas giant don't cause silly things such as "Plant a flag on Jool" contracts. * Replaced all checks for experience traits (Pilot, Scientist, Engineer) with individual experience effects. They are now loaded before part loading so can be queried in GetInfo(). * Icons in TechTree.cfg can now use a relative path (allows mod icons to live outside the Squad directory). * Added KSPAssemblyDependencyEqualMajor as an attribute. Use instead of KSPAssemblyDependency if you want to force requiring the stated major version, not >= the major version, from your dependency. * If you are setting a vessel's position and/or changing its orbit, call Vessel.IgnoreGForces(framecount) on the vessel for the number of frames that g forces should be ignored (try 1, then 2 if that doesn't work, etc). * ModuleDeployablePart (covers antennas, solars, radiators) also has a gResistance (for Gs) as well as windResistance (for Q). * Crew transfer now derives from a generic abstract PartItemTransfer class. Classes can derive from it to implement any kind of (crew transfer-style) part-part transfer. Also we fire an event right before a crew transfer is created so mods can just kill it and easily create their own CrewTransfer-derived class and have that be called on that event. * Extended ModuleScienceContainer to allow sending and, (from ModuleScienceExperiment) receiving, experiment data. Also added support for a Collect All option to such containers. * ModuleColorChanger supports changing arbitrary shader colors and implements IScalarModule. ModuleAnimationSetter works similarly and is used to more directly link an animation to being set by IScalarModule. * PartModules now support upgrades. In a MODULE node, add an UPGRADE node. Inside that add one node per techID you wish to provide upgrades, in ascending order. Inside that place keys and nodes you wish to upgrade. e.g. `UPGRADES { basicRocketry { maxThrust = 250 } }` will change maxThrust to 250 once basicRocketry unlocks. Upgrades will never override persistent data. Further, by default they overwrite each other; to make a node apply on a clean slate (so you can, say, add two PROPELLANT nodes and not have them conflict due to the overwrite logic) set `IsExclusiveUpgrade__ = True` in the upgrade's node. That will clear the upgrade state and apply that upgrade fresh. Upgrades are applied only when you add a part to a craft in the VAB/SPH, they don't magically apply in flight. When a part on a craft is upgraded, a new option will appear in the PAW (when in VAB/SPH) where you can view the current stats of all those modules with upgrades. * ModuleEngines now supports alternate (RealFuels-style) throttling and rates. * ModuleEngines now supports throttle-Isp interactions. Turn on with useThrottleIspCurve = True and set the throttleIspCurve and throttleIspCurveAtmStrength curves. Final Isp = input Isp * Lerp(1, throttleIspCurve.Eval(throttle state), throttleIspCurveAtmStrength.Eval(atms of pressure)) * Support part upgrades, see docs. * Added events dealing with kerbals going on/off ladders on parts and added a new vessel field for accessing the vessel of the part of the ladder the kerbal is climbing (if all of those are valid). =================================== v1.2.1 ============================================================ +++ Bug Fixes * Fix Maneuver Nodes not showing dV when target changes. * Fix highlighter chewing memory every frame. * Fix CBs being in different places in 1.2 by adjusting GeeASL. * Fix engine glow not originating from engine thrust location. * Fix for non-resettable experiments listing a reset cost. * Fix KSPedia inaccuracy about reentry friction. * Fix for drills shutting down when you approach. * Fix "Mammoth" collider pushing away parts on stage. * Fix for MysteryGoo container having collider too large. * Fix for ModuleRCSFX KSPField. * Fix for contract weights getting messed up in save files. * Fix for Gas bursts on decouplers being in the wrong place. * Fix for EVA orientation on lab hatches. * Removed duplicate "Lowlands" biomes from Mun. * Fix for revert deleting Messages. * Removed writing from Mk3->Mk2 adapter. * Fix for text overflow, etc for flag plaque. * Miscellaneous KSPedia text tweaks. * Fix for Subassembly DropZone tooltip not closing. * Fix for StackGraph not following links across decouplers if one of the decouplers is a root part (Fuel crossfeed issue). * Fix for ladder slide on Mk1 Inline. * Fix for ScientistBonus in ModuleScienceConverter being broken. * Fix loop using wrong iterator in GetModulesImplementingInterface. +++UI Fixes * Fix UI Flickering in Editor when lots of parts loaded. * Fix UI Flickering in MC when lots of Contracts listed. * Fix for Mapnode text not updating when controls locked. * Fix for UIScaling applying incorrectly to the AppLancher and apps. * Fix for asteroid KB Info text wrapping. * Fix for text missing against some Action Menu items for wheel actions. +++Miscellaneous Stuff * Update to Biome Maps for Bop, Gilly and Pol. * Adjust minimum FoV for enhanced mode on Roverbody and NDS to allow more zoom when landed. * Add Reset All Settings option to settings. * Add customizable binding for Editor Scroll Modifier for Zoom - default to left-command for OSX instead of left-shift. * Add new default binding for precision control of "Return" for OSX instead of capslock. * Change default camera reset binding to not clash with Abort Action group. * Change default eva light binding to not clash with translate left. * Allow mods to circumvent contract weight limits =================================== v1.2.2 ============================================================ +++ Bug Fixes * Fix crash to desktop when using Aero Overlay display and Part highlighting in Flight. * Fix one final GUI flickering issue regarding the Parts List Scrollbar. * Fix CommNet occlusion multiplier GUI setting. * Fix to prevent kerbals with existing name being created. * Fix MPL(Science lab) ladder sliding. * Fix Grass textures around Research and Development Facility. * Fix for corrupt save files breaking the resume menu. * Fix where some science experiments only trigger once on action groups. * Fix part action menus remaining on screen when switching to the Astronaut complex. * Fix Building Picker Lines in Space Center not being cleared when application loses focus. * Fix null reference exception when overwriting SubAssemblies in VAB/SPH. * Fix resource converters load percentage display not updating after start/stop. * Fix for several issues with the KSC flagpole outside the Administration Centre. * Fix for vessel on the Launch pad at Baikerbanur (KSC 2) blocking ability to launch vessels from the KSC. * Model fixes to the large drill part. * Fix some more Text overflows in GUI. * Fix where Fairings Disappears After using settings in flight. * Fix for strut connectors attaching below surface on SRB-KD25k. * Fix edge smoothing on Mk1 Inline. * Fix particle effects on drills. * Fix asteroid drill mass calculations. * Fix for selecting/focusing craft that are very late for maneuver nodes. * Fix for contracts app showing the wrong number of contracts. +++Modding Stuff * Add a common base class to all gameevents to allow mods to register and fire their own gameevents. * Add method for searching for gameevents and mods can register to other mods gameevents. * Add title to ResourceInfo so we can have a displayname that's not the key. +++LoadGameDialog When a game is saved it now creates an associated metadata file - called .loadmeta alongside the .sfs. This file contains a hash of the sfs save. When the loadgame dialog opens it will compare the hash in the .loadmeta file with the hash of the savegame, and if so it will use the data in the .loadmeta file for the load dialog details instead of parsing the whole save file. +++Miscellaneous Stuff * Biome refresh for Ike, Moho and Dres. * Add Right-Shift as a default secondary binding for editor scroll when not OSX. * Stop inactive aero/thermal data being shown in the editor scenes. * Add display format to difficulty options values. * Vessels now remember active navigation (Waypoints) when loading save games. * Apply Engineer bonuses to drills and ISRU correctly. * Update more details in DOxygen api docs. The Update is still in development and changes may occur to this list Developing Kerbal Space Program has been and still is an incredible journey where we have faced many challenges and learned a great amount of things throughout the many years it has taken to be where we are right now. As always, we want to extend our immense gratitude to all of you for your understanding and support, we are certain you will enjoy this update of KSP for consoles. We will be giving regular updates regarding the development of these new ports in KSP Weekly. Best regards, -The KSP Dev Team

Hi,I Was just wondering when the Estmated rerelease date for Ps4 and Xbox 1 is. If you could awser that would be great

PS4 question. When is a patch happening for PS4?

Just read about the new port coming to consoles and was wondering if people who owned the game currently on console will have free access to the new port.

So, i recently discovered that KSP was indeed on ps4, but when i searched the store, there were no results for Kerbal. This confused me a lot, so i did some research on it but i couldn't piece together why its not on Australian stores. Basically, is it possible to get KSP in Australia?

This game has so much potential on ps4, and yet I see we haven't gotten a meaningful update since about release. I took my expectations from ksp on pc and so far I am thoroughly disappointed. I feel like I've been swindled. Is there any meaningful plans to update on ps4? And not oh were working on it for the Many months in a row that has been the answer

i'd like to get ksp on ps4, but i've looked on ebay, amazon, the playstation store and the ksp website, and i have no idea where i get it, please help p.s I have a 2017 british ps4 slim

I am wondering how to use my PS4 controller to play KSP on pc

My first experience of Kerbal Space Program was on PS4. I put a lot of hours into it. As I discovered later it's behind the current release and it's tendency to corrupt save files is now legendary. So, I figured, let me try it on my Mac book pro. Mouse usage has been great. Flight controls leave a lot to be desired. When I connected up my ps4 controller, I couldn't help but notice that the controls are behaving like the keyboard. Yaw and pitch are just on and off, despite having full analog control on the ps4 version of the game. My basic question is, does anyone know what the best ps4 controller setup is for Mac? I'd like to be able to do more that just throttle on/off and binary movements. It's so bad that I'm just sticking to the keyboard until I can find a solution to this. Before you say "use big picture mode", I've tried that and KSP hangs or crashes on startup if I enable big picture mode before starting.

So I finally got into orbit a few hours ago by watching Scott Manley's tutorial but one weird thing that happened is that I passed my apoapsis but still got into a very stable orbit. (and even re-landed) However now whatever I do I pass the apoapsis and theres nothing at all that I can do about it even though im using the same ship and doing the same maneuvers. Note: I am in career mode and on PS4.

If you EVA it groups all of your staging into one big group. Very annoying when you forget about it and activate all parachutes and decouplers at once.

If you press X or O on an observation site marker on the map the game will run incredibly slow until you cancel the textbox.

First off, if there is discussion on this please point me to the topic. I've never really gotten into forums and I'm trying my best. Now to it. Do you think KSP on PS4 or Xbox One worth investing in? If so is there any significant differences between the two systems game play? If there is a YouTuber who does an excellent play through on each system, I'd be interested in watching. Thanks, and may your launches be successful and your sandwiches delicious.

Please Squad release KSP on the Australia PSN store I beg you my ps4 is the only thing in house that is fast enough to run it and if you don't can I get it another way please hear me... BYE
