Thanks!!

Not certain what you're encountering. Can you share an image if you haven't figured it out yet?

@bcink It seems to just not be connecting like a regular heatshield. Here's a video I made showing it:

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what's causing this for you. I just loaded up the mod in the latest release and put it together as shown without any issues. It looks like you have it attached correctly at the start (to the center node on the bottom) but something looks to be completely messing with the node. Do you have some other mods installed? I can only suspect something, somehow, is interfering. Can you try on a clean install w/ no mods?

@bcink Вроде просто не подключается как обычный теплозащитный экран. Вот видео, которое я сделал, показывая это:

And I have this problem(((

I've been revisiting this mod in 1.12.1, and I didn't have any issues with the heat shield attachment either. Worked fine for me.

However, I do have a major showstopper - ejecting the heat shield destroys one or two of my landing legs every time ... Where/when are you guys ejecting the heat shield?

My failed attempt:

No matter which lander I use - I only jettison the heat shield after the parachute is fully deployed. Makes sense, doesn't it?

No matter anything, anywhere, in any circumstance. Everytime you jettison the shield without deployed chutes, you get that damn thing stuck in there. I'd be surprised if there were any justification at all to jettison the shield before deploying the chutes, in any scenario.

That would be a voodoo-mod using Harmony or what else, I guess. Ask @linuxgurugamer if that effort would even be worth it. :sticktongue:

Sure does, especially when you're not having a senior moment and missing the forest for the trees. Forgot the chute is for the landing, not *only* the return trip.

Huh??? what would be? Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see any request for a mod here

I'm not sure about this one, perhaps also with Kerbalism a ModuleRadioisotopeGenerator still needs to be added as it's ignored by Kerbalism but needed for "stuff" - even for contract parameters.

I guess the

HI! Do we need an update for something?

Perhaps some 1.12.3 checks and the inclusion of the Stock Inventory System?

JadeOfMaar · December 30, 2021

Accordingly to @bcink about me, he's finally free to mod again, concerning what finally launched on Christmas Day. :U

Duna Direct still works well on 1.12.3 as i just tested it ...best mod for habitat...simple (save my CPU and RAM) and quick!

I think we might. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

The Rudaux Nosecone ( MarsDirect/Dockingport/MD-Dockingport ) seems to be bugged. The parachute is not fully deploying, just semi deploying. At first I thought it might be caused by some of my mods. So I set up a test environment, KSP 1.12.3 + ModuleManager4.2.1 + latest DunaDirect. The issue persists. The semi deployed state also does not appear to be slowing me -I mean "my rocket", I'm definitely not holding it in my hand!- down. Weirdly, the Samara Nosecone (the non-docking-port version) is working just fine and the semi deployed state also slows me down significantly.

Can anybody else confirm this issue?

Or is it only supposed to work on Duna? o.0

I can confirm this. However, if you open the docking port, the parachute can fully open.

Yeah, this is a known thing - the docking port needs to be in opened mode for the parachute to truly function. This is some limitation with the game related to docking ports and parachutes on the same part.

My thought -after reading @SkyFall2489's workaround- was that it is related to the position of the chute and that the nosecap is "shielding" it from the drag, similar to a cargo bay. I thought that if it were placed outside (maybe invisibly), it shouldn't happen.

I'm not sure about this one, perhaps also with Kerbalism a ModuleRadioisotopeGenerator still needs to be added as it's ignored by Kerbalism but needed for "stuff" - even for contract parameters.

I guess the
GameData\MarsDirect\Patches\MD-ISRU.cfg
also needs sanity checks and so
GameData\MarsDirect\Patches\MD-Kerbalism.cfg
needs proper ISRU patches.

Hey @Gordon Dry,

Thank you.

Are they still needed or are they now incorporated into KerbalismConfig?

That's an interesting thought. Didn't think of that. Entirely possible..

Hey,

What are your values for the antennas for the Kerbalism science transmission?

Because in my game the "MD-Direct" antenna have: "EC (idle): 2.400/s", "EC (transmitting): 90.000/s", "Max. speed: 1.02 GB/s", see here:

Does it work with 1.12.3-4?

And can you send it further than Duna (EG, Laythe or Tekto)?

there's a good chance that it works just fine. It's just models and configs. But the particular bug might happen (again?) where KSP may hang at any part that animates and has a solar panel module.

You can send it further. Just build a transfer stage or tug with the necessary dV.
