When it comes to tourists contracts, what's the difference between a sun fly-by and a sun orbit requirement? Or is it just the wording that's different and they both just need you to pop out of Kerbins SOI and back?

I can't seem to find a corona texture generator. I need it for a blue star.

I edited Kerbin with Kopernicus mod and the wrong side of the planet is lit up, i have no idea how to fix it. And i have no idea how to remove oceans on Kerbin. To fix : Issue 1 - Convert the normal map to ".dds", Issue 2 - Add this to the config file : @Kopernicus:AFTER[Kopernicus] { @Body[Kerbin] { @Template { removeOcean = true } } }

hi , i have signed a mission to put a station in the orbit of the sun.. ie solar orbit.. i have build up station put everything on board as was asked in the contract(antennae,docking port etc) .. now when my station is in orbit around sun ,, all the parameters required are green except "have your station near the sun" although i am in solar orbit just escaped the Kerban .. howc close do i have to get in..? any idea? i have tried reducing the orbit slightly but it dsnt work..

Ok so I don't have an entry yet but I'm working on one already so maybe it's okay to make this challenge. Also I searched a little but couldn't find anything just like this. So briefly: Send one or more kerbal(s) as close to kerbol as you can and bring them back to kerbin alive. Rules: 1. No cheat menu or other stupid cheating attempts 2. No mods that alter physics. Visual and informative mods are ok 3. Hyperedit is allowed for testing purposes but not on the actual mission 4. Must be manned and able to return to kerbin safely obviously 5. This is a little weirder BUT STILL VERY IMPORTANT!! Absolutely no timewarping 1min prior to and 1min after your kerbol periapsis since that seems to alter how heat works. So at least 1min before your kerbol periapsis set time warp to x1 and don't accelerate it before you are at least 1min past your pe (not even x2 x3 or x4 warp). Otherwise you are free to timewarp as much as you like. 6. Take screenshots or video. On case of screenshots the rule number 5 must be based on honor code. I trust you are all honest anyway 7. That's all I can think of Oh yeah, use either 1.05 or 1.1 I'll make seperate leaderboards if necessary. Score is your closest distance to kerbol. Simple. And lastly to give you some benchmark to try and beat. My ship that is still WIP is able to clear a kerbol pe of about 80Mm but I still need a way to send it there and back (I play 1.1 so new inflatable heatshield is a thing. I vaguely remember that when I tried 1.1 I got something like 140Mm but that might be just me remembering wrong.) Oh and have fun and fly safe.

Tengo una misión de turismo espacial, en la que los turistas tienen que volar cerca del sol. Ya he cumplido la parte de orbitar el sol, pero para cumplir "fly by he sun" no estoy seguro de a qué altura tengo que estar con respecto al sol. En otros cuerpos celestes no hay problema, porque puedo pasar muy cerca, pero el sol está más calentito. Leí en un post que hay que estar a menos de un millón de km. Mi periapsis es de 998.618,4 Km, y no se muestra la misión como realizada, pero si me acerco más la nave explota por el calor. Podría intentar realizarlo con otra nave con más paneles refrigerantes que disipen mejor el calor. ¿Alguien ha logrado hacer esta misión y sabe exactamente cuál es la distancia al sol a la que hay que acercarse? Es que en la nave ya fríen huevos en las ventanas, pero los turistas quieren acercarse más y más. El termómetro exterior de la nave marca 861º (en este momento estoy en el apoapsis)
