Wjolcz Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Airplane icon is finally a thing wooooooooo! \o/ I gotta say I really enjoy the first look at the new update. Thanks, @SQUAD. I know I'm giving you hard time about career mode, but 1.2 is actually really good and I'm enjoying it so far. Will definitelly play with the G limits and comms enabled. Good stuff!

(What if you have a probe core?)... Do they... Die? I was at least hoping for the K.I.A screen to pop-up again, but when a Kerbal passes out, their portrait turns to static and you get a notification reading "[Kerbal's name] has lost consciousness". Also, as a neat little detail, there is a meter beside a Kerbal's portrait, showing how many Gs the Kerbal is enduring. I haven't played with it a lot, but I get the feeling that braveness and stupidness levels affect how many Gs the Kerbal can stand (so far, it seems that Bill always faints before Valentina). If you have a probe core on the same vessel, provided you have a good relay network set-up, you'll still have control over the craft. So yeah, it's good to have some form of auto-pilot. (I'm wondering how long a Kerbal could withstand entering Eve's atmosphere with this feature enabled...)

Bedwyr Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It looks like the Steam Controller does not correctly change modes. By testing, the controller remains in menu mode when inside the VAB and airplane hangar. Haven't yet tested whether flight mode engages at launch.

Passed through without any problems luckily, I half expected to have to demonstrate that it was actually a real, edible, birthday cake and not something 'more exotic'.

I agree, from what I've seen it does look pretty good, certainr better than 1.1, and I am optimistic for this week, but we don't know what loose ends they need to tie up.

C04L Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Hey Squad, I'm loving 1.2 , played a few hours with no problems! wish we had flight indicators though. and i love the new loading screens, I really want those artworks to go on my slidshow desktop wallpaper..... Any chance anyone can tell me where the art is stored in the ksp folders? or can Squad make them available to download in lots of resolutions? please.

Waxing_Kibbous Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) 1.2 seems a lot more ready for release than 1.1 was, but I hope they wait at least another week just to really polish and tweak things. I feel like the comms thing is still getting adjusted quite a bit and it still isn't in the KSPedia yet. 1.2 feels so nice though, it is as much a quality of life release as it is the comms release.

Honestly this is one of the better KSP updates. So many quality of life changes and long requested stuff that has been added (plane and relay probe icons, splitting some of the categories etc). And I'm finding it to be a lot more stable than 1.1. And we also got a taste of Porkjet's parts (albeit in a separate mod folder)! I am way more satisfied with this update than I thought I would be.

The only QoL improvements missing for me are : - Hold current attitude (plane's will keep heading upwardws as you fly, meaning always having to be at the helm to pitch down and redo ASL altitude, this fix would do it automatically). - Cruise Control for wheeled vehicles. You tell your craft to maintain 10 m/s and it will automatically accelerate, decelerate to try it's best to oblige (bad design = computer can't/won't do jack). Those are the 2 things that are minor yet annoying. That being said, in no way does it diminishes the hype for 1.2 Edited September 25, 2016 by Francois424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerano Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Any way to reclassify ships that don't have a command capsule? I love rescue missions, but dislike the clutter it leaves on my tracking station screen. I prefer to relabel empty capsules post-rescue as "Debris" so they disappear from my tracking station, but can't do that when it's just a crew cabin. If it's not currently an option, can we gain the ability to reclassify ships inside the Tracking Station please? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerano Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Okay, discovered how to do it after some searching - double click orange bar in info box. Not as obvious as it probably should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
