That is a relativit-ly modest warranty for a clock... I'll see myself out.

Thanks for bring this back!

Peace.

seems to be a bug in the CKAN dependencies, it insists that I must have TAC-LS for this, but ... do I?

[ss8913]

Hm, I think with the new way that Kerbin time is calculated, the default time values are wrong (and changing them is non persistent through reloads/scene changes).. should be 60 sec per min, 60 min per hour, and 6 hours per day.  changing it thusly makes it match up with the in-game clocks at the KSC scene and seems to be congruent with reality.  I'd advise making these values the defaults (I'm going to edit my files and do this myself for now).

Also, can confirm this mod does NOT need TAC-LS to function.

Follow-up: the time settings.. I'm not sure where it stores these.  Are they hardcoded into the DLL?  It doesn't seem to write a settings file anywhere...?

Thanks about the TacLS, I've removed the dependency from CKAN

Regarding the values, it pulls the values from the game directly, look at the file Settings.cs for details.

It looks like, currently, the part is useless, as you can still use the toolbar button to display the time, when the part is not present.

I guess I'm one of those weird players, that prefers to have these little mod parts, required to be present on craft, for plugins to "work".

Any chance to mebbe get a part/partless mode added? ... Since I'm probably in the minority, I would be fine with "partless" being default mode... but would be awesome if there was a switch for "part required" mode, for those nuts like me.   vOv

I'm working on reviving an old part mod, and would like to add my own part support for this mod.
