Just started using bon voyage but it says "bon voyage control lock active" trying to make a route several clicks out of the KSC for testing.

I followed all the steps and I have enough power.

You have to look away so the magic can happen. Rovers are known to be shy, so just switch to another scene or watch the progress secretly from the tracking station ;)

I want to second the requests for BV operating with fuel cells.  I've just upgraded my rover to use 4x TR-2L wheels drawing 3.5 amps each for a total of 14 amps.

I have one PB-NUK for standby current (0.75) plus 4x fuel cells providing 1.5 amps each for a total of 6.75.  The fuel cells are enough to keep the battery charged between mixed acceleration and coasting.

(So I'd need a total of 8 PB-NUKS to get the equivalent without fuel cells...?  I'll give this a try since I'd really like to have BV in operation again.)

I'll report back here on success -- or otherwise.  OK!  Well, it looks like it works comparably.  7 NUKs with the fuel cells turned off was not bad and the BV did work.  So, OK, I'll look at a redesign with no fuel/cells...  (The PB-NUKs are pretty bulky is the main drawback...)

UPDATE: OK, looks like a happy ending on this: I actually had 6 fuel cells under that buggy.  I've now got 6 NUKs and 2 fuel cells.  Everybody is happy.  I've posted this as Ninja for the curious...

POEHALI!!

Hi :)

I use Bon Voyage for the first time and it's awesome ! But i only use unmanned rover and the 80% malus of average speed is too slow !!

Is it possible to remove this feature ?

No. A remotely controlled rover doesn't have the same reaction time as a skilled pilot behind a wheel.

Notice about the new update:

I'm in the middle of an overhaul, so you can wait few more days for me to finish it or if there is some critical bug (not counting a burried rover, this can be fixed by World stabilizer right now) I can do quick recompile for KSP 1.5.

I just used CHEATS to attach a BV module to one of my rovers on IKE. Hope it works.

UPDATE: After it reached its destination I reloaded to it, and it was falling through the surface of Ike. I now have to reload the game from my backup drive.

Has this mod been abandoned?

No, it's not abandoned....just one post above yours, maja told us about the work on an overhaul and that the 'burried rover'' bug (which is probably the reason for your rover falling through Ike) can be fixed by using the world stabilizer mod.

As @4x4cheesecake wrote, you can use World stabilizer or alternativelly change vessel height in a save file. It seems, that KSP is sometimes returning wrong terrain height at given coordinates.

And no, this mod isn't abandoned. There is a devel branch and issue on the github, where you can see the progress of the overhaul.

When I say it was falling through the surface, I mean it was IN FREE FALL under the surface, and I don't actually know how to edit the save file on a mac, or PC for that matter, but I use a Mac.

I'll look into this "world stabilizer" when I get the chance.

I understand, what you meant by falling through suface. It happens sometimes and I have fixes in the new version which hopefully deals with it once and for all.

Do you have it for the last release of 1.4? I haven't updated yet as the Mac version of 1.5 doesn't seem to work yet.

Go to the Spacedock page of the mod, switch to Changelog tab and download the propper version. I see there version 0.9.2 for Kerbal Space Program 1.4.3.

I just added a BV module and a better antenna to my oldest mobile base, and sent is a quarter of the way around Ike. It got there, but even with World Stabilizer it was partially inside Ike when I loaded back into it. It ended up the right way up, but the ordeal still broke it a bit. Still since I didn't have to drive it 174 km, it's fair trade.

Enjoy! :cool:

  • Localization support
  • KSPWheel module system check change
    • Required EC is scaled by a motor's output setting
    • Maximum speed is taken from maxDrivenSpeed field, which is scaled by gear setting, and capped at max safe speed
  • Direct input of target coordinates
  • Stabilization of a rover during scene switching into flight, if it's moving or just arrived at a destination. The function is switched off, if World Stabilizer or BD Armory is present.
  • Updated Wiki

@maja thanks for the update, you did a really good job on the overhaul! The new UI is wonderful and so far, my rover spawns perfectly fine, slightly above the surface, even on a slope :)

Well, I may found a little bug anyway. The result of the 'System check' is just displayed within the console (actually it is a warning saying  'maxWheelSpeed = 59'). Not quiet sure what is supposed to happen but I've expected a message on the screen, telling me the result of the test or something similar. So far, I cannot see anything happens when I hit the button.

Ah, I see it. This is only a debug message I forgot to delete.

You can see the result of a system check in the controller window. It just automatically runs when you open that window. System check button is there to rerun it, if you change some setting (start reactor, switch off wheel motor etc.) and have controller window open. I may add tooltip to the buton or screen message to make it clearer.

 

The advantage of the new UI is automatic rescale depending on main settings. And of course, it was past due to use the new gui functions.

And try right click on the toolbar button. It opens Controller window ;)

Ok :)

Every other button actually displays a message (or open the map view), so I got confused when nothing happened after the system check. A tooltip sounds like a good idea :)
