  1. THIS MOD IS STILL IN DEV GO TO THE ORIGINAL FORUM POST TO DOWNLOAD THE MOD I've been working on updates to this mod but they aren't ready yet and I don't know when they'll be ready, my schedule has been all over the place for the past few years and honestly I really don't want to be redirecting traffic. The original mod STILL WORKS with the latest version of KSP (at least it did the last time I checked). GO THERE. Thanks, Geo

  3. Hello everyone! New gadgets are coming from the Research and Development facility, the kind that will get Kerbals screaming: MOAR BOOSTERS!!! A brand new update is here and with it comes better performance, fresh new features, improved visuals, and new parts being added to our players’ creative repertoire! Kerbal Space Program 1.8: Moar Boosters!!! is an update focused on making the game perform and look better, all while introducing more quality of life features that will improve the overall player experience. We’re also bringing some new solid rocket boosters to the VAB, as well as introducing some exclusive treats for owners of the Breaking Ground Expansion. Let’s go through some of the update’s highlights below: Unity Upgrade Moar Boosters!!! brings an upgrade to the underlying engine of the game to Unity 2019.2, which helped us implement performance and graphics improvements, as well as better rendering performance and a reduction of frame rate stutters. With the new tools that this upgrade provides, we’ll be able to continue refining the game in upcoming updates. Celestial Body Visual Improvements Mun, Minmus, Duna, Ike, Eve and Gilly have new high-quality texture maps & graphic shaders, and now look sharper and more realistic! You will also be able to select the celestial bodies’ shader quality in the settings and set them to low (legacy), medium or high, with improvements being visible across the board. These are just part of the first batch of celestial bodies being overhauled, slowly but surely we will continue this endeavor. Map Mode improvements Map mode received some adjustments too! Now you can use docking mode and stage your craft whilst in map mode. The stage display button (formerly stage mode) now serves as a toggle to show and hide the stage stack, whether you’re in flight or map view, and selected map labels will now persist when going back and forth between map and flight mode. New SRBs! A range of new solid rocket boosters have been added to the game. From the tiny .625m stack size Mite to the titanic 2.5m wide, 144ton Clydesdale, these new boosters will offer a range of versatile solid-fuel options. Making History owners get an extra bonus here too with the “Pollux” and a 1.875m nose cone to fit on top of it. Breaking Ground Exclusives Kerbal Space Program 1.8: Moar Boosters!!! also includes some exclusive content for owners of the Breaking Ground Expansion. A new set of fan blades and shrouds will continue to push the creativity of KSP players even further. Use them to create drones, ducted fan jets, or anything you can imagine.

  4. I don't know why this is happening, but sometimes, when I have a vehicle on the launchpad and either recover it and launch another vehicle or choose to fly it, the icon for the launchpad stays on the screen during flight and when I am in map mode. I've tried doing stuff like going back to main menu and then going back into the save, but it still stays there, even on the main menu. I know this is a bug, but i'm not sure how to fix it other than closing and re-opening the game. Below are some screenshots i took of this bug/glitch. And this is in Kerbal Space Program 1.8.0, if you're wondering what version. (Also, I can interact with it, but when I click the fly or recover button, nothing happens)
  5. So, i updated my ksp 1.7.3 to 1.8 I tried to start it with my mods,didnt work, it go stuck in the loading time to the start menu. Without mods, it got stuck in the main menu, the 1.8 update window showed, but it go frozen so i cant click anywhere. If i click while its frozen, the game crash. Any ideas?
  6. Hello everybody! I am very excited to update to the new release, but it is running at around 5 frames per second anywhere other than the main menu. The menu is perfectly smooth. I have tried to set the graphics to lower settings, but that didn't improve the situation. My computer is an Ubuntu Laptop that isn't a gaming machine by any means and has pitiful memory, but it runs 1.7.3 fine. I bought the game through Steam if that helps. I did a clean install, but the behavior persists. I already looked through the KSP.log file, but I didn't see anything unusual. I saved a copy of the file if anyone wants to look at it. Thanks for looking!
  7. So, I've got the 1.8 update fresh. I've landed on the Mun and not been able to see any difference. Anyone know how I get to the new textures? One more thing: My altimeter is completely broken. It's not displaying a thing. I've had to track my altitudes from the map screen, but it gets pretty darn annoying after a bit.
  8. I have a Soyuz ship that has to have permenantly opened antennae, but they break on assent now. Am I the only one who has this?
  9. when i press space bar rockets or planes dont stage i have hyper-edit and breaking ground expansion and my keyboard work well but spacebar dont activate anything . sorry for bad english.:(
  10. Despite having owned KSP for two years, and having played 1320 hours of KSP. Before today I had never been to another planet, and the only two missions I've ever done are a Mun mission and Minmus+Mun mission. The main problem is that KSP terrain isn't very interesting, so it never seemed worth the (with hindsight minimal) effort to go to another planet. This changed with KSP version 1.8, not only did they add the terrain shaders, they updated to a newer version of Unity, which runs significantly better on my potato computer. Due to the apparent easiness, I went to Duna with a small Nerva powered ship and started taking screenshots after entering the Duna system. The clouds are from a modified version of Astronomer's Visual Pack, all dependents except scatterer (Which doesn't work anywhere near correctly in 1.8) Oh how very kerbal... There is a dog in a collar and a shirt on this rock. Dust storm. No one told me Ike was shiny! The AVP dust clouds are quite possibly my favorite thing I've ever seen in any KSP image. Some nice pictures of Kerbin that doesn't have anything to do with 1.8 terrain shaders.
  11. Bug: I am not sure where to post a bug, I have never posted a bug or been on the forums before today, but here seems like the best place. I have encountered a bug with the LT-2 landing strut. When ever I put one on a robot part from breaking ground its feet clip into the ground and make the whole craft wobble. If the strut is under significant weight the whole spacecraft jumps into the air and the landing strut becomes possessed by the kraken. I know this is a 1.8 issue because I had a Mun lander that used LT-2 landing struts on hinges in 1.7.3 and it worked fine. But now after the update everytime I land everything blows up. Bug Replication: Step 1: create a craft with some considerable weight Step 2: place a robot part from breaking grounds dlc on your ship Step 3: place a LT-2 landing strut such that it comes incontact with the ground on the robot part you placed previously Step 4: have fun as your ship bounces, wobbles, or slides as if it was in an 80s disco club Videos: unfortunately i couldn't find a way to insert videos into this post so i created a link to a google drive folder with all the videos https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1znXCZ6mAPUEfhA7yj8Ssy-FT8bZJGqMF?usp=sharing
  12. Hi there, I've had the Breaking Ground and Making History Expansions since they day they've come out. Never had an issue with them. 1.8 was released and changed that. 1.8 functions as expected; however, the DLC appears to not have updated with it. I get "Expansions Failed to Load" as the error with a notice telling me that the DLC versions are incompatible with the current version of KSP. Using Steam, I have verified the install, re-installed the game, re-installed the DLCs all to no avail. Any suggestions appreciated.
  13. こんにちは!ついにKSPアップデート1.8「Moar Boosters !!!」がリリースされました。 今回のタイトルは、カーバルがスラングを交えて「もっとブースターをよこせ!!!」と言うような感じとのこと。 ここでは公式の発表内容をかいつまんで書いていこうと思います。 実際にどんなゲームに仕上がっているかは是非みんなの目で確かめてみてね! Unityのアップグレード KSPの基礎となるゲームエンジンを「Unity 2019.2」にアップグレードしました。これによってゲームやグラフィックのパフォーマンスが向上し、アップデートの継続にも役立つはずです。 天体のテクスチャの改善 ムン、ミンマス、ドゥナ、アイク、イブ、ギリーに高品質のテクスチャマップとグラフィックシェーダーを追加し、よりシャープな景観を楽しめるようになりました。 セッティングで天体シェーダーの品質(*具体的にどのメニューなのかはっきりしませんが「地形のディテール」を指していると思われます。)を、「標準」「高い」にすることで改善を体感することができるはずです。「低い」設定ではテクスチャは既存のものですが、グラフィックの品質は向上しています。 マップモードを改善・改良 マップモードでの機体のステージングが可能になりました。マップモードで「ステージを表示」ボタンをクリックすれば、ステージスタックの表示/非表示を切り替える事が出来ます。 さらに、便利機能としてマップモードのラベル(天体・機体・ノードを右クリックした時に表示される)が飛行モード/マップモードを切り替えても保持されるようにしました。 SRB(固体ロケットブースター)の追加 固体ロケットブースターにに新しいバリエーションのパーツを追加しました。0.6mサイズの「マイト」から2.5mサイズの「クライズデール」までのラインナップで、幅広い機体運用をサポートします。さらに、DLC : Making History Expansion を導入している場合には1.8mサイズの「ポルックス」が追加されます。 DLC : Breaking Ground Expansion の追加要素 DLC : Breaking Ground Expansionの新パーツとして、新しいファンブレードとシュラウドを追加しました。ドローンやダクテッドファン機の設計はもちろん、プレイヤーの独創的な機体建造にとって大きな助けになるはずです。これまでのファンブレードへの改善、ロボティクスパーツが消費する資源の調整、資源供給が尽きた場合のオプション追加も盛り込みました。 その他の改善・追加要素 全ての追加要素はこちら↓(英語)で確認できます: KSPアップデート1.8「Moar Boosters !!!」は現在Steamで配信中です。今後はGOGやその他のゲーム販売サイトでも順次リリースする予定です。 それと、今回のアップデートのイメージアートの壁紙を用意したのでダウンロードしてみてね。 1080x1920p(一般的なスマホ) 1080x2048p(Galaxy S9) 1440x2560p(iPhone X) デスクトップ1920x1080p デスクトップ2048x1080p デスクトップ2560x1440p それでは楽しい宇宙旅行を!

  15. I know this is early, but what feature do you want for 1.8.
  16. In the current base game, a lot of the Contracts we see relate to testing out different parts. Yet, these parts are infallible no matter how much they are tested. I am proposing that all parts in Career mode exclusively be given a reliability rating, like 90, 80, or 70%. This value determines if a part is to fail, however, with increased testing and flight-proven success, that rating increases. What are your thoughts?
