Thanks a lot JohnMcLane. Then everything will be alright I guess? I won't lose a lot of features if I downgrade?

WIth RO you only gain a lot of features that the standard game (RSS, RealFuels/engineUllage, limitedIgnitions and and and) cant give you! Much higher immersion into rockets and spaceflight. I also recommend using Realistic Progression 0 the developmental version (which is for 1.3.1), that makes it even more real and gives you contracts and avionics and stuff (https://github.com/KSP-RO/RP-0/tree/Developmental green button: "clone or download"). If you never played Realism Overhaul it can be it little bit overwhelming, it has a high learning curve, but:

RO/RP0 are the BEST :D

To put it into perspective... KSP has a steep learning curve, adding RO + RP0 or RP1 makes that curve go vertical, like a sounding rocket ;) but it’s well worth it.

I'm getting a crash on loading screen, while trying to Install RO and the recommended mods. I went mod by mod, and the problem seems to arise when I try to load RO and TestFlight together. The setting works fine with only one of them, but not both.

Using TestFlightCore-v1.8.0.1 and RealismOverhaul-v12.1.0 as linked in the OP. I also tried the respective master versions that are linked in the RP-0 1.3.1 spreadsheet. I uploaded a crash folder under that link:

Hey, how do you guys roll back to 1.3.1 ?

Not sure how to do it if you got KSP from the Squad store.  But in Steam you look under Betas and they offer many KSP versions: 1.0.5, 1.1.3, 1.2.2, 1.3.1, and all from 1.4.1 to 1.4.4.  So you can select 1.3.1, let Steam download, then copy out of the Steam install directory (usually "<Steam root>/SteamApps/common/Kerbal Space Program/") to one you maintain (I use "C:/Prog/KSP/v1.3.1" for a pristine copy and "C:/Prog/KSP/v1.3.1+mods/" for the modded install where I ran KSP 1.3.1).

CKAN doesn't work with this anymore?

At a guess because you are trying to install into a 1.4.x version of KSP.   RO and some of its dependencies haven't released 1.4 compatible versions yet, so there are no 1.4 compatible versions for ckan to install.  In the meantime you should be able to install Ro in KSP 1.3.1.  If you use Steam instructions on how to get a copy of 1.3.1 are a couple of posts up.

If you use GOG, then write support and have them make the install files available to you. It might take a couple of days before they reply, but in my experience, they upload it to an FTP-server pretty soon. If enough of us requests older versions of KSP, they might end up having a better backlog of versions available on their homepage or the GOG Galaxy application. :)

I wanted to play career in RSS but didn't want to go full Realism (I like Kerbal parts and don't want to mess with fuel types, ullage, restarts, etc.   I also wanted to use 1.4.x).  I installed the ROMini.cfg patch to rescale and real-size the Kerbal parts.  It seems to work well, mostly.  Some of the Making History parts are glitchy but nothing you can't work around.

The thing I was wondering is this:  Does anyone know if there's an in game reason to have fuel tanks nearly double their  fuel-to-mass ratio compared to similar real world tanks?  A script modified LT-45 engine for example is a very close analog for an early Merlin 1 (very similar thrust and ISP), but it needs half the fuel mass to get the same burn time, thus giving it a huge boost in dV.  It means you can get away with much lighter (and shorter!) rockets.

Before I start messing around with the cfg file to get more realistic(ish) numbers I figured I would ask in case I'm missing some important point or my math is just crap and I'm wrong about the fuel/mass thing.

The fuel/mass ratios were adjusted along with a bunch of other things to adapt to the 1/10th sized solar system. If you used RL ratios it would be too easy. There's a mod called SMURFF that tweaks them for you

KSP 1.3.1/RO 12.1.0/all required dependencies specified in the OP

I'm unable to get RCS to work.  I'm mounting thrusters directly on the fuel tank and have configured the fuel to match the thruster requirements.  I've tried many combinations of thrusters and RCS tanks, but the engineering report in the VAB always indicates "consumers not receiving mono-propellant".  If I uninstall RO/Real Fuels/Real Plume, RCS seems to work fine.  Thanks for any help.

I'd like to report a bug. I'm not sure if it's RO doing this so sorry if this is the wrong thread.

Basically, patches of the ground start floating up as I approach the ground. I haven't noticed it when I'm ascending, but definitely when I'm descending. You can also crash into these ground patches, and I've observed them to be as high as 40km in altitude. They're not just stationary, either. You can see them moving upwards as you get closer.

It's actually kind of funny sometimes, until I end up crashing into one

EDIT: I know the screenshots only show the moon, but it happens on Earth too. 

EDIT2: Narrowed it down to scatterer.

Atlas V Common Core Booster

Eight STAR 5F solid rocket motors (6 kN each) to aid the separation of the Centaur upper stage.

The engines are not working?? (realism overhaul)

That is stock behaviour.  It's called show activation toggles.  If you don't see something like that, then open settings and check you have advanced tweakables turned on.

 

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you. Thats going to really help, when I come to think about it I was also missing the fuel priority so that make sense. I simply hadn't really needed it yet however as default generally works out. tbh that should be on by defualt as it's super handy.
