[1.3.0] Kerbal Engineer Redux 1.1.3.0 (2017-05-28)

[Wyzard]

In my 1.2 game, the Flight Engineer panel would appear whenever I hovered my mouse over the KER button in flight mode.  After reinstalling everything for 1.3, I have to click the KER button to make the Flight Engineer panel appear.  Is that an intentional change in the mod, or is there a configuration setting somewhere that I'm overlooking?  I'd like to get it back to hover mode if possible.

Yes, it was an intentional change.  See the release post of the latest version here:

There should be a fairly obvious setting in one of the usual places...

Thanks, I'd overlooked that.  Turns out there's a button on the settings screen in the VAB — I didn't see it because I was looking for Flight Engineer settings in flight mode.

Actually I have to untidy a well borked install again.

What is this about?

I have an odd -

Does KER have a resolution setting outside of KSP?  Or, is there a way to make KER' windows re-sizable? I ask, because in a save somehow , my KER appears to be at a higher resolution and smaller?

Just curious.. what it might be.

I run KSP at 1920 x 1080
 

[Gordon Dry]

Is this a known issue?

I just recognized that in VAB on middle-click over parts the GUI does never show the ASL thrust, only the VAC one.

I don't think so.. I must have done something .. somewhere.. just curious if anyone else had done this or knows about it?

[blorgon]

Can I make a quick suggestion? Add a line break into the miscellaneous section for the readouts. It's super trivial, I know, but I'd prefer that over the separator line that's available, and I feel like it wouldn't be too much trouble to add. Just a thought.

When you check the KER settings, there's a miscellaneous section. In it you'll find a GUI size selector you can add to your readout:

See the HUD I've got sitting in the middle of the screen? There's a GUI size selector at the bottom of it that I added from that miscellaneous category.

Is there a way to keep Kerbal Engineer (for building) but to remove the flight engineer icon + disable flight engineer? 

[KerbMav]

Feature request: Can you add "post burn eccentricity" (orbital tab)? Useful for these contract packs that require a satellite with a specific eccentricity without specifying AP/PE.

So I've been running into a weird problem with KER. The TWR it shows is a lot higher than the actual amount. The weird thing is that I also have mechjeb installed and it seems to be showing the correct TWR. The delta-v data shown by both mods seem to be accurate. I'll add screenshots tomorrow.

The version of KER I have is 1.1.3.0, most of my mods are installed through CKAN.

I think the issue might be related to KWrocketry engines, because all the times I noticed the issue was when using KW engines, but that might just be due to me not using any other engines.

Are you certain you activated atmospheric mode? i.e. you have the atmosphere sliders at the bottom of the window.

[svenkroesen]

I'm having a problem with the deltaV readout in my RSS save. For some reason KER always says the current stage has 0 deltaV left. So when a stage has lets say 1300 Dv, the moment the engine ignites it says 0. And when i turn the engine off again it shows the correct amount thats left. why is that? and how do i fix it?

I'm pretty sure I did. Even if I didn't, I don't it would have caused that much of a difference. MJ was showing about 1.8 TWR while KER was showing 9+ if I recall correctly.

 

Nevermind I solved it. Apparently KER was set to Duna for some reason.... I must've forgotten to change it back.

Because there is a bug in KER's handling of RealFuels engines that no-one has got around to fixing yet.

You don't unless you know a reasonable amount about KSP mod development using C#, in which case you work out where the problem is in the mod code, fix it and then submit a pull request on github...

[msssaf]

There's a problem with J404 and rapier. This mod cannot identify these two double-mode engine. I mean if you only place these two kind of engines on your plane, the dv, TWR, thrust and everything like that which is related to engines' properties will just show nothing; and if you place other kind of engines on your plane, this mod will calculate these data only based on engines you just placed. It seems this mod only considers these two engines as dead weight. Does anyone meet the same problem as me? 

 

I'm useing the latest version (1.1.3.0) with ksp1.3

sorry.....I just saw the answer on the previous page.

[Gordon Dry]

With RealFuels for KSP 1.3 the deltaV readout of an upper stage is messed:

Stage 4 say 0 m/s dV left, the MJ readout is correct.

Nah, this time is just a known KER/RF interop bug. @Gordon Dry this was acknowledged by @Padishar literally two posts above your own...

I saw, just poking fun at the fact that he's asking for support without first narrowing down the possibilities. Besides, he should be able to read the earlier posts too....

[Phineas Freak]

@minepagan Yea, i should have also make the "lightheartedness" of my reply more obvious...as you said, reading at least the last few pages of a thread can usually answer/solve about 95% of the user questions/bug reports. Besides, this specific bug is not something new.

[Gordon Dry]

@minepagan: blah

@Phineas Freak: darn

[Khatharr]

Bug report - Minor - KSP 1.3.0 x64, latest KER from CKAN:

"Impact Time" in seconds appears to be off by a factor of 10 when parachuting.
