[1.3.1] Ferram Aerospace Research: v0.15.9.1 "Liepmann" 4/2/18

[tetryds]

Speaking of variation of outline, does the new system take into account the shape of undeployed landing gear? I hope not. In real aircraft landing gear actually fold right into the body of the craft so that there is no break or bump in the outline, but in KSP we don't have that choice, and even undeployed landing gear make a profile change.

You will have to either clip it or balance it so it does not become an issue.

You need to install Module Manager FAR wont lunch properly without it, the main package that Ferram ships it in comes with it but github is a open source development platform so they kinda expect you to read the prerequisites at least.

Thanks, that was the problem - I was sure I had it installed, but apparently kicked it out with the spring cleaning as 1.0 launched.

With nuFAR, all my attempts at building transonic aircraft are exploding, being torn apart by aerodynamic forces, or completely losing control authority.

In short, good work! nuFAR is incredible.

So where can we download nuFAR?

I wanna try it so bad!

if you go to the FAR github page (link in OP) and go to the VoxelAeroPort branch and select download zip on the right side that zip will have a GameData folder with nuFAR in it

Thanks a lot

Some things I hadn't thought of before - how does area rule treat long inlets? does a inlet shock cone structure give some sort of seperate localised area rule calculation? how about bodies a long way from the main body like wingtip engine pods which would end up outside the shock cone from the nose at some speed?

Is the pre-release nuFAR really buggy?

[klgraham1013]

Ferram, please save me from Squad's aerodynamic indecisiveness.

[AndreyATGB]

Is the pre-release nuFAR really buggy?

For me yeah. Beside the UI not working, it doesn't seem to be working at all (no drag/lift). voxelAero works (on 0.90) though.

[Enceos]

I see the RealChuteLite folder in FAR. Does this complement RealChute by StupidChris or conflicts with it?

[etheoma]

I'm going to guess user error again, do you have module manager 2.6.2 installed, also voxelAeroPort is 1.0 not voxelAero... I suppose this is why Ferram doesn't advertise the dev version.

Further more do not try using FAR with Deadly Reentry in the dev version, I think 0.90 is ok to use with nuFAR and DR dev versions... although I don't know if there is a DR 0.90 with all the new functions, but you can at least use the old DR which is much better than default heating by far.

ProceduralParts doesn't work with the voxels.

EDIT: Neither does TweakScale.

How should I attach my AJE engines that are not 1.25m?

[Hodo]

ProceduralParts doesn't work with the voxels.

Is it just procedural parts or Pwings and Pwings B9?

Have you gotten it to work then? I don't have any other mods installed on my KSP test install (MM always there obviously).

[etheoma]

Sorry but pleas just check that module manager is in the game data folder, also you are using the voxelAeroPort for 1.0 not voxelAero which is for 0.90

Also you did just grab the game data folder from the the github zip and just merged it right?

And yes I have it working in 1.0.2, just check that all those things because apart from tweek scales procederual parts and some other mods which change in the VAB I haven't seen one person not being able to run the dev version of FAR, if your having a problem after you have checked everything you possibly can then its time to go to github and post an issue there, along with as much information as you can give.

etheoma, wouldn't it be more helpful to stop mentioning the dependency everyone knows about (ModuleManager) and start mentioning the dependency that no one knows about (ModularFlightIntegrator)? Surely you know about that one if you've got it working, right?

[Yakuzi]

So looking forward to the next update ferram! FAR is so much better than the current indecisosphere!

Must have lucked out and somehow got it inside another mod. In my defence it was the last persons problem who had similar problems.

Thanks. MFI fixes it (even used the latest version from source to make sure), also the null's came from DevHelper, I guess I'll deal with 2 extra clicks. These overlays in the editor are so cool.

[etheoma]

Although to test out weather the problem the last person was having could be caused by removing module manager I did a clean install and then just installed the Dev version of FAR without module manager then with and it was working just fine so I don't know what going on there which is why I was confident there wasn't anything else shrugs, I really don't know how I magically got it working but w.e.

How do I get ModularFlightIntegrator?

Any updates on the ETA, Ferram?

I have truly tried to play my new career save with NuStock Aero, but it just won't do. This mod is by far the most essential mod I use, I eagerly await it to be updated. Keep up the good work, KSP wouldn't be what it is withought you!
