International Workers Space and Aeronautical Facility (IWSAF) Mod List

Theme : Gameplay focused on IVA without relying on the default HUD. Missions will be conducted from crew perspective. Additional mods make flight much more difficult, such as Deadly Re-Entry, Engine Ignitor, IFILS life support requirements, and Remote Tech 2 which add commsat requirements for probes.

I really like this. I hope you would fix up your microphone however and add more commentary when you fly and such.

Will sub for more!

Thanks!

What's wrong with the microphone? I'm not completely happy with the sound when the movie editor compresses it down into a youtube format, but when recorded and played without compression it sounds excellent. I think there's something I could learn about compression rates and such, but I try to keep the videos under 500mb in size so people with lower bandwidth or metered connections can watch. When in raw format, the videos are 3 or 4 GB.

Well the problem is that it gives out a lot of static noise and such which makes hard to hear you and when you have lift-offs or flying in space the game volume is loud and its hard to hear your voice too but so far its okay.

Yes that is indeed an issue at times. The way I record is to have the mic plugged in and the speakers on, rather than rely on settings in game or in the recorder to include game or system sounds to the feed. When I used the recording software to include game sounds, the sound level was almost completely unpredictable and required multiple tests before I could record a mission. Each time.

Using the speakers, I have to set the mic to 'conference' so the range is extended just a bit (even though the speakers are only 3 feet from where I sit). Windows doesn't handle sound input very well (and I've read up on this for exactly these reasons) and so for example the 'conference' setting takes 1 or 2 seconds after the mic is turned on to adjust itself, and this sometimes results in a fuzzy low volume static sound which I try to edit out if I can. Window Movie Maker software as well doesn't make things easy when it comes to sound . . . sometimes that software alone adds a sound pulse when switching scenes or clips! I've got a library of bookmarks on new editing software . . . because I've grown into a passionate hate of WMM. And I have to remember to set the speaker volume manually - and I sometimes forget. But, overall, it's much easier and more reliable to do it this way than to use the recording software settings, which is ironic.

Either way, the sound track isn't a separate track, so I don't have many options if, after a mission, I notice that my narration gets drowned by the game sound.

I'm still kind of new at this video recording and editing stuff, but things I think are improving sound and content wise.

[Sakai]

I actually enjoy the content a lot! This is the sort of series I look for. Realistic styled ones with mods! Everytime I see videos with stock KSP and those ridiculous rockets it makes me cringe >.>

To improve the sound quality you could use headset! It would stop the speaker contamination into your microphone and everything would of be crispy clear! As well you could use audacity to record your voice and edit it, audacity is very good software when it comes to that!

I used to be a youtuber before but stopped so I perhaps could help in such way ^^.
