@DeadJoe You should only use one Module Manager. I've testet MM v3.1.2 and all engines that i've testet so far worked for me.

your Gamedata folder should look like this:

  • RealPlume
  • RealplumeStock
  • SmokeScreen
  • Squad
  • SquadExpansion
  • ModuleManager.3.1.2.dll

If you installed RPS via CKan, the RealPlumeStock folder will be inside the RealPlume folder. you should check this!

You can try the following:

go to your Gamedata folder and delete

  • ModuleManager.ConfigCache
  • ModuleManager.ConfigSHA
  • ModuleManager.Physics
  • ModuleManager.TechTree

check if there is only ModuleManager.3.2.1.dll installed. if not, delete MouleManager.3.1.1.dll

Go to your Kerbal Space Program folder an delete

  • PartDatabase.cfg
  • Physics.cfg

Then do the following

  • Load the game until you get to the main screen.
  • close the game
  • Load the game again an test your engines

The configs do not seem to be loading for me on a modded 1.6.

I have them installed in the correct location (I think), in GameData/Realplume-Stock/(lotsoffolders)

I have module manager 3.1.2, RealPlume 11.1.0 and Smoke Screen 2.8.00, which creates its icon on the toolbar, and set to 5,000 particles.

I do not see a "Plume" entry in any of the engine's right-mouse information pop up in the VAB.

Here is a link to my log file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w4jijksj9v0961d/KSP.log?dl=0

I do not know what I did wrong buut I do have a lot of stuff installed :/ soo yeh. I have tried this without the various visual enhancements and it does the same thing. Do you have any ideas about this?

@jospannerThere is a newer version of SmokeScreen available. You can get it via CKan or download it directly here: https://ksp.sarbian.com/jenkins/job/SmokeScreen/

Incidentally, this is a fairly large modified installation, and troubleshooting is likely to be difficult. Maybe it's better to start from scratch by moving your KSP Folder out of E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ and do a fresh install of KSP via Steam, then install your mods one after an other and test run KSP between its installation.

@Nhawks17 Arrrgh I just realized that in the configs I made available for the Sounding Rockets mod I left in my custom thrust curve for the SRM-XL booster :sealed: Could you please repack a release with that removed or at least make a note in the OP? Sorry!

Woops, will do! I'll try and have a repack out by tommorow at the latest :P

So, my rockets have realistic fire effects - at higher altitudes they billow outwards instead of just keeping the normal little flame.

 

But smoke. I have like... ZERO smoke. Worse than stock. There's a teeny-tiny amount there, but it is barely anything.

 

It sure as hell doesn't look like this:

LREs do not produce as much smoke as the SRMs so the result that you are seeing is correct.

Sure they aren't as smokey but the current smoke is kind of pathetic. It's like half the length of the rocket flame. LFEs produce a dark smoke and some thick contrails at altitude.

The current assets have white smoke (an all-around solution for both low and high altitude smoke + a kind of condensation). Contrails cannot really be modeled, as they depend on more parameters than just atmospheric pressure.

In any case, the "LREs do not produce smoke" issue has been beaten to death in the past.

I'm having a problem with the way cryogenic engines mod looks with realplume. Is it supposed to look like this:vvQepKK.jpgThey don't look anything like the engine exaust on the cryo engines pictures. Also real plume looks fine on all the other engines. As in they look great. My installed mod list is:

B9 Part Switch

Community Resorce Pack

Community Tech Tree

Cryogenic Engines

Cryogenic Tanks

Deployable Engines Plugin

Dynamic Battery Storage

Easy Vessel Switch

Engine Lighting

Kerbal Alarm Clock

Kerbal Atomics

Kerbal Attachment System

Kerbal Engineer Redx

MechJeb2

Module Manager

Real Plume

Real Plume Stock Configs

Scansat

Smoke Screen Extended FX Plugin

Would the log files also help?

Original issue was not an issue. Hopefully this one is though.

@Natokerbal Facepalm.png You should read more than just a title.

It is the same method. Find the config you wish to change. Read the documentation how to add a plume to an engine and you will figure out how to change the plume of an engine. Don't expect anyone to write a "how to" for you when there is already exactly what you are looking for.

@Jack the Green Ghost As you may know, RPS depends on Real Plume and Smoke Screen. You can see all available plumes here: https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealPlume/wiki/PreFabbed-Plumes-and-Screenshots

For now, there is no possibility to change a plume by config to get a green one. But you could make and add your own particle and config to Real Plume to get something like this:
