I had the same problem, that happens when SigmaDimensions isnt installed
For me, the github link for Sigma did not work at all. Try installing it from Curseforge, it worked for me

yeah it worked, thanks for the help!

For those of you who also think KSC is too far away from the launch pads, you can use this us_cape_canaveral snippet for config for LaunchSites.cfg.
This should also adjust the height so it isn't floating as well.

 

 

Thanks for posting this, but I have a question before I implement it:  does this apply to the LaunchSites.cfg file for KSCSwitcher or KSRSS? Both mods have a file of this name.

 

Thank you!

Not sure how I missed this question.  It's been a long time since I've fixed it myself, but I believe you only want *one* LaunchSites.cfg, and I believe the one you want to use (the one the game looks at) is in KSRSS/Patches.
I'm guessing you've already figured this out by now, but I'll still respond for posterity.  

Sorry for the delay!

As an aside, is there some way to make the included-with-the-mod VAB become the "default" one, instead of having to use the stock Kerbal Space Center at all?

[DaveyJ576]

@rogerwang86 I must say that I really like this mod. It adds a whole extra level of immersion to KSP and I really appreciate it! I do have a couple of questions for you:

1. Launch pads 5 and 6 are configured in such a way that I have to reopen them each time in the VAB before I send a rocket out to them for launch. They won't stay open once I open them. I have studied the KK windows for each pad and it seems as if the only thing that is different between those two and the rest of the pads is the Set Group is different (KXMS vs CKAFS) and the radio button for "Static will show up on anomaly scanners" is not lit. Is there something that was done to these two pads when they were placed in your mod that forces you to reopen them each time? Can that be changed?

2. I am reasonably familiar with KK and Tundra and I would like to like to add some additional pads. What did you use for roads between the pads? I can't seem to find them in the KK menus.

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

Any plans to make parts for the HLV, SDLV, it would be really cool and you would be able to launch orian with it.

I cant get to orbit with the BDB Saturn 1 Can i have a config for 2.5x Scale?

Are you sure you're using the right engines and right fuels?  BDB, if I recall correctly, is designed for a 2.5x stock scale.
Service Module fuel is important. You don't want it full.  Remember: you're not going to the moon, so you don't need all that reaction mass.
Here's a post link that might help.

If you are using the SLA (spacecraft adapter) that has jettison panels there is a drag issue that prevents saturn IB from getting to orbit. If you use the version with built in hinged panels Saturn IB can get into orbit although its challenging (the real rocket had thin margins too). BDB in general works with 2.5x without additional configs. Its balanced specifically for that.

Well?!?!  We're waiting!  Did you make it?

Yes and no....

So I got the Delta V to get to orbit, And..... My TWR was not enough to get into orbit without reentering...

Did you reduce the service module fuel quantities by at least half?

Just decided to do ETS And use the saturn 1C And twin engine SIVB

The Saturn 1 and 1b are already scaled to 2.5x, they just need a lofted trajectory to make it to orbit. Basically, they don't put enough vertical speed into the upper stage by the time the first stage burns out, so when you go to your next stage, it should be pointed at like a 45 to 60 degree angle towards space for most of its burn time.

I'd highly recommend you have a look through this page, it's very helpful.

And if you still can't get to orbit I'd like to see your craft file.

Im usually at 60 Degrees before staging The S1

I'm actually a huge user of Friznits wiki (That's how I built Apollo CSM Without losing my mind)! Thanks for the help, I haven't checked the Trajectory section for the Saturn rockets, Will Do!

for some reason the pads have just vanished from my game?  i didn't touch the mod or anything, and i've done like 5 reinstalls of the mod, but the pads still aren't there. any help?

 

[dababykerman]

is there a way to change the color of the grass to make it darker? the color is a bit off imo

[DaveyJ576]

My kitbash of LC-37. I like it, but I wish we had a proper truss style gantry to use.

I also added some buildings in the background to add the Air Force station and industrial area. There are additional pads to the south to recreate LC-3, 18, 26, and 11.

Does this mod work with career mode?  Or are all the structures present from the start?

Looks great btw

[donnager fan]

Don't want to intrude but,  How is progress on Baikonur coming along?

[TaintedLion]

I'm not sure this works with KSRSS Reborn.

The pads aren't loading.

Try the master branch of this variant, which I'm using in KSRSS Reborn. Watch out though, unlike this mod, the land doesn't (yet?) have collision :-D

 

 

[forge__gamer]

Is this conpatable with stock ksp instead of x2.5 scale?

[EndAllFilms]

Compatible with KSRSS Reborn?
