Is it possible to change this with KSP  settings? I mean not the in game settings panel :) Just askin'

 

What specifically are you looking to change?  The distance where KSP loads the model?  When DOE renders a flare?

The distance where KSP loads the model

That's configurable (as part of KSP, not DOE).  I know it can be hand edited in (KSP install directory)/Physics.cfg - search for "load =" in that file, and you'll find the load / unload / pack / unpack ranges.  However, you'll want to be careful editing that file, since you can really jack up your game if the wrong values get tweaked.

Physics in KSP are a bit confusing. You are either loaded(the active vessel basically and everything in the physics range (or in loading range) or on rails. The second means that the physics is basically limited to the trajectory (no woobling, no drag, no rotation etc.) .

When a vessel is getting closer, KSP has an intermediary state where the vessel is loaded but packed : not all capabilities are possible ( for example no trottle) but models are already loaded and some parts can be interfered with (ports can be targeted for instance). ;

When the vessel gets closer, KSP unpacks the vessel and its has full capabilities

Minor update to DOE.  @Kerbas_ad_astra provided an update to the Blizzy's Toolbar interface code to take care of some exceptions that may pop up (Thanks! I haven't been keeping up with Blizzy's Toolbar, so I missed the change).  I removed the last remnants of Linq in this mod while I was touching code,  Version 1.8.1 is now up on GitHub.

Hi, is there a way to make the skybox dim even more while looking at the sun? Now when I look at kerbin the skybox is pitch black but I can still see the stars while looking at the sun. I have tried to change the maximum brightness but it just makes the skybox too dark to see at night

Skybox dimming when facing the sun is controlled by stock KSP, not DOE.  So, unfortunately, there's nothing DOE can do about that.

I'm seeing Jool flare rendered as a darker dot against Sun flare. Looks as if it passes before Sun, while actually it is behind.

Debian testing, Intel i7-3540M.

Yeah, I had that fixed, but it's broken again.  Not sure exactly what happened yet.

Is it possible to have DOE work with another star? If so, is it possible to change the distance that you would be able to see the flare from DOE?

It depends on your definition of "another star".  If you mean something that replaces Kerbol, yes.  If you mean one of the mods that adds additional "stars" to the game, no.

As far as the distance you can see the flare - for a planet/moon, it is a function of the size of the planet and its distance from Kerbol.  There are no hard limits saying "only show planets closer than X from the player".  But, like in our solar system, a small, dim world isn't going to be visible.  Past a certain distance, they simply are too dim to see.

As far as vessels, they are hard coded to be visible no more than 750km from the active vessel, and most vessels are small enough that they aren't visible at those distances.

Not seeing anyone else post it, but thought I would give you a heads up, but it looks like this is having the issue with Contract Configurator and Toolbar. When it is installed the button disappears, and in list of what buttons to show it is replaced by question marks. If it is the same issue details of whats causing it is here. Most are saying its an easy update fix.

Hi, i'm not sure to know what is the problem and if it's about distant objet : i can't see myu skybox while in KSC. Don't know with what mod option i have to play with to have beautiful star on kerbin ground. If you have an answer i tak it :wink: thanks !

 

Oups my bad, it works, it's just very dark.

Unfortunately, crashes have returned. Perhaps with 1.2.1 release. Tried to enable log flushing in debug menu, still no error messages at the end of the log. If debug mode is enabled in DOE, it just spams this repeatedly all the time:

Distant Object Enhancement v1.8.1 -- FixedUpdate

No change at the end, when crash occurs.

I don't have a crash here with 1.2.1.  Can you post the entire log somewhere (DropBox or something similar)?

Rare, but sudden thing. If my memory doesn't play tricks on me, it usually happens in orbit, with several vessels in the scene. But sometimes with single vessel too. Split second freeze, yet another frame, crash. Nothing on stdout or stderr.

I see a lot of NullReference exceptions coming out of Kopernicus in that log, and a couple of other exceptions that look a lot like a out-of-date mod is lurking in your installation (RCSBuildAidToolbar is throwing exceptions during load).  At the very least, you need to look into the Kopernicus exceptions - they're not being caught, which means all bets are off with respect to other mods functioning correctly.
