[V5.0 RC1 released] AeroKerbin Industries Modified IVAs

[Beetlecat]

I especially like the career-friendly approach of instrument upgrades. Too bad it has to be completely separate cockpits, but that's the obvious method to do it. Another could be the fuel-switcher tweak menu in the SPH/VAB, but that's not likely something that would affect IVAs, right?

[edit] -- it also appears that, as of the 5.0 version, none of the other cockpits are now present in this pack (especially the KN-2).

Did the Kossak IVA from this mod ever get released? It looks so awesome.

[Ghosty141]

We NEED an update :( I just can't deal with a stock IVA cockpits like the MK1 has it currently. SQUAD really should integrate RPM !

[Maverick221]

when is the kossak IVA released?

[theonegalen]

IIRC, the Kossak IVA was released in an earlier version of the pack, but is no longer available.

[Maverick221]

Why it was removed?

[theonegalen]

No idea. Perhaps not up to the standard MasseFlieger wanted. :-/

[m4ti140]

Are you planning to update it to 1.0.5, now that the stock mk1 pit has been completely redesigned?

[Kuroshine]

Are there additional download mirrors for this mod since Kerbal Stuff has gone off line?

[pingopete]

EDIT: So I tried again and actually got it to work... to an extent. I grabbed the 0.9Beta off the KSP site and mimicked the gamedata/squad folder to have the old mk1 cokcpit back in 1.0.5, then changed the texture addresses in the configs for modified IVA to point towards the new squad folder with the old mk1 cockpit. The cockpits mostly work however the MFDs will not display cameras and sadly not the Nav Utilities page either; this stuff is beyond my capabilities

This mod is by far the best IVA enhancement IMO and I'd love to see it over the ugly new stock mk1 cockpits! Cheers for any info or such

That's how I use it in my install as well, except I put the old parts and internals into the AKI folder.  NavUtilities works for me, though. So does the placeable external JSI cam - I don't think the parts have cameras built in.  Do you have the AddNavUtilstoASET.cfg in GameData/AKI/ModifiedIVA/Configs?

Hi Guys,

 

First, let me apologize for the absence, I have been away due to real life (boo). Back now and with new computer! Bad news is the old one ate my files.

If anyone has previous versions of the ModifiedIVA, it would be very much appreciated. PM me with link  Otherwise, I will be restarting the IVAs from scratch.

[theonegalen]

@MasseFlieger, I don't appear to have the zip file, but I do have the mod extracted in my GameData folder.

(Unfortunately, I also have some personal modifications I made to the original to get it to work with 1.0.5, copying over Squad files from 1.0.4 and renaming some things in the .cfg files - I'm sure you'll be able to figure them out. Can't post the Squad files here. :))

Thank you! I've also received some file from Stone Blue as well, I think I have enough to get (re)started with these!

[MasseFlieger]

I've opened a dev thread for this mod (about time). Working on the mk1 pit for 1.1.

Check it out, and let me know what you think!

I'm focusing on spaceplanes and aircraft cockpits at the moment - but will likely get to pods as well.

Are there any command pods included with this mod?

Not at the moment mate. Im focusing on the aircraft pits first, almost done on those, and will take a stab at the command pods - mind you there are some spectacular mods already out there with those IVAs.

[nukeboyt]

Sounds good.   You're right about the other good command pods that are available   I was just curious.   Keep up the good work

@MasseFlieger

download still points to kerbal stuff? and nav utils is listed as either a dependency or a recommendation....

Edited May 13, 2016 by Deimos Rast

[MasseFlieger]

Hi Deimos,

 

prior to 6.0 (in developement now, navutils was recommended, but not required - I didnt make use of its prop), the dev version requires it.

I'll upload the previous version to github or another site (and add CKAN support as well)

I checked both threads and didn't see a link. I'm not trying to rush you, take your time, when it's ready it's ready. However, I have a copy of Modified_IVA-5.0.rc1b (the last available version from Kerbal stuff), will that likely still work? I hear tell one of the stock cockpits got redesigned, not sure if that was before or after this version (8/15/2015), so that one probably wouldn't work.

Lastly, and feel free to say no, would you mind terribly if I threw up a dropbox link to it? Obviously it's old, but two threads and no links is bad karma (or something). Is there a better version that you'd recommend, say 4.2 instead of the release candidates, that I link to, or would those be fine (assuming you're okay with the idea)? Again, if you say no, I won't.

Cheers.

There really isn't a version downloadable that just fits with the current release of KSP. I have modified my own install to include the old cockpits and it required a lot of fiddling around with configs. Until the next version of Modified IVA comes out, I'm using an alternative mod, by fast_de_la_speed. It works quite well, but doesn't include the career progression I greatly look forward to with MIVA.

I'll have to look at that, thanks!

I compared the IVAs from 4.2 and the release candidates 5+ and I found the missing Kossak IVAs by the way, and a few other ones (I think you mentioned them earlier in the thread). I'm not sure why he got rid of them, but 5.0 is a big departure from his earlier work, at least from looking at the configs.

Thanks again.

I don't have any of the IVAs from before 5+. Would you mind sharing them with me? It's valid by the CreativeCommons license on the mod.

As long as MasseFlieger doesn't mind, of course.
