The JASSM seems to cause a lot of lag. Large frame rate drop in the SPH. When loading onto the runway, it goes down to about 0.5-1 fps.

Seconded. Not as bad for me, but significant frame rate drops all the same

[Angstinator]

Can confirm. My computer's not exactly a toaster, but the JASSM seems to make it slow down noticeably.

 

...Additionally, it appears to only be selectable by the fins, and doesn't fly right side up.

Just a thought for after our next update: the AGM-69 SRAM (Short-range attack missile). This was a nuclear air to surface missile that carried a W69 warhead with a 170 to 200 kiloton yield. It had an operational range of roughly 110 nautical miles and was intended to be launched from a B-52. The missile also used an inertial navigation system and radar altimeter for semi-ballistic or terrain following flight paths. While it was eventually replaced by the AGM-86 in the early 1990s due to safety cautions, I believe it would be a neat, but powerful add on for the mod.

Already moved to Spacedock, rehosting isn't really necessary.

I wonder (due in no small part to MalFunc) if you could give the Tomahawk a booster pack and a tail attachment slot so it can be launched from a VLS cell.

You mean like the Tomahawk in PEW?

I didn't know they had one, never used it because redundancies.

Check it out. Its generally a good idea to try other mods before requesting something lest it already exist. No need to take up a mod maker's time and resources building something that's already out there

So in the next update could you please add nuclear capabilities to where they should be, or at least to the scud

Yup, I'll add that to my todo list

This next update so far will include:

- Revamped bump textures for most models

- Some new parts, including turrets mainly (giving me issues because unity isn't importing my Tiger turret and the zumwalt gun doesn't like to... Not be glitchy)

- New progressive explosions tested and approved by me... Now I need to fix up a new module for the weapons

- New explosions for: on the ground, in atmosphere, and in space (implimented this myself, will increase update time though)

I know I haven't said much, but I'm getting through very tight schedules, so please understand this may be a long update in the making until I get a nice long break from other responsibilities.

Not installed correctly (put in default directories) or used without BDArmory

I just checked.I installed everything properly.

Nope

Make sure the North Kerbin Weaponry folder is in GameData, not any other folder

How are you launching the nukes? Please describe in more detail what you are doing.

[MAXIMUMPOTATO]

Just installed this mod, i have BD armory and CAL working just fine, none of the weapons have textures (just plane white) and the bombs don't go off, they just break like normal parts. Any idea what i did wrong?

I tried dropping a small nuke (but this applies for all nukes and bombs) from a fighter with and without decoupler.Didn't work.Tried it on a test platform with wheels (like SWDennis), again with and without decoupler, didn't work.I even tried changing the bomb settings by right-clicking on the bomb.Didn't make a difference.

Just crashing the bomb into stuff won't work. You need to use either the bomb's "Fire Missile" action, or a BDArmory Weapons Manager. A decoupler isn't needed.

If you still have trouble, look up some BDArmory tutorial. The nukes are used just like any other BDA bomb.

That definitely sounds like bad installation. How did you install the mod? As said shortly above, the mod folder must go inside GameData, not BDArmory. That's one of the common mistakes.

Thanks a bunch man! Will try it today.

So it appears I have got the progressive explosions/shockwaves to work on the nuclear bombs... so here's a video to demonstrate

 

It's not much but something I just kinda threw together... couldn't help put a few cinematic elements in of course.
