Release KSP2 Release Notes - Update v0.2.1.0
wasml replied to Intercept Games's topic in KSP2 Dev Updates
I noticed you changed the A/B on the intercept markers to a pod icon and a target icon - I like it! -
I saw this last night on a simple stack (cmd pod, env sampler, heat shield, decoupler, fuel tank, engine, decoupler, fuel tank, engine) after the side boosters had been staged. Was a small but noticeable translation to the side in two spots.

"For Science!", KSP2's First Milestone Update is Available Now!
wasml replied to Intercept Games's topic in Announcements
Made a rover and drove 20Km south hitting 27 m/s and didn't hit any of the invisible bumps - looks like that bug has been squashed! (also found a starfish on the beach - nice touch Intercept!) -
Release KSP2 Release Notes - For Science! Milestone v0.2.0.0
wasml replied to Intercept Games's topic in KSP2 Dev Updates
That's an impressive list of additions and fixes! Looking forward to taking this for a spin. -
An unordered dump: 1) PAW menu as in KSP1 in addition to the current all ship parts menu - each have their advantages. 2) Robotics. 3) Have alternate UI - While the current retro UI was an interesting idea it's hard to read and bigger than it needs to be - blocking my view of what I'm primary interested in. If not this then please make it modifiable so a mod can replace the UI (actually this would be a good idea regardless) 4) Weather (with wind) to enable aerostats/weather balloons/More interesting flying. Should probably be optional. 5) More wheels, more torque for current wheels - unable to climb 5 degree slopes with some of the current wheels. 6) Alarm Clock/Transfer Window Planner 7) Procedural fuel tanks 8) Something similar to Precise Maneuver Node 9) A functionality similar to MechJebs custom windows. I liked to make custom windows for launch, landing, docking and roving - gave me a window where I could select the parameters to display. 10) Ability to loop structures like the KSP1 Recoupler mod

@NerteaI found this very interesting and look forward to these dev blogs. With that said I would understand if you discontinue them because it takes too much time away from bug development/bug hunting.

Reported Version: v0.1.3.1 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes OS: Windows 11 Home | CPU: i7-12700KF | GPU: GeForce RTX 3060 | RAM: 64GB When switching to a vessel on the ground in map view the AP/PE markers for both vessels are shown in the wrong place. (Note: The screen shot didn't pick up a second set of AP/PE markers) To recreate: Put a vessel in orbit, switch back to the VAB and put a vessel on the launch pad. Go to map view and switch to the vessel in orbit (Control and Focus) and then take control of the vessel on the pad (Control). Expected: AP/PE markers on the orbit line of the one vessel, absent on the landed vessel. Observed: AP/PE markers for both vessels in the wrong place. Zoom in and out and the markers don't move.

A QOL suggestion. In map view you can click on an on rails vessel and select control or focus. When I switch control of a vessel I almost always want to focus on that vessel too. It would be nice to have the control option also focus at the same time. I do like that the map view doesn't change to flight view when control is clicked as I often want to check the orbit/maneuver node/etc before going to flight view.

Reported Version: v0.1.3.1 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes OS: Windows 11 Home 64-bit | CPU: i7-12700KF | GPU: GeForce RTX 3060 12GB | RAM: 64GB In the VAB Place a part. I used the Mk3-5. In the lower right corner click the parts manager button to open then click the engineer's report button. Observed - engineer's report opens under the parts manager. Expected - Last windows opened opens on top of previously opened windows. Of the four window buttons - only the Engineer's report seam's to have this behavior.

Calvinball? More like Spherical Hydrogen Tank-Ball!
wasml replied to Nate Simpson's topic in KSP2 Dev Updates
Would like to second Sea Kerman's ScanSat comment. ScanSat involves planning orbits based on scan width, orbital period and planet rotational period - all very rocketry related. Plus it not only gives you points to advance the tech tree but it gives you useful information for planning further exploration. This is the kind of science I would like too see more of (though I have no idea what else would hit so many points). Edit: Agree with this for the most part - would think docking ports would be a bit more wobbly than a stack of same sized parts as IRL they aren't really meant to take large loads (assumption on my part). -
UI/UX suggestion: Patched conics UI proposal
wasml replied to Kavaeric's topic in KSP2 Suggestions and Development Discussion
I really like this idea. I had not noticed the SOI ring motions indicated entry/exit and had figured the 1A/1B, 2A/2B were the position markers but was not sure if the 1's need to match up or the A's need to match up for intercept. As "The Aziz" suggested colors that are easier to distinguish would help (especially for the color blind) and different colors for later orbits would be a big help. The new AP/PE markers are a good idea but having played with them a bit I must say I prefer the KSP1 markers - they are more compact and lining up the points just seems more intuitive and a 1 for first intercept and 2 for second intercept makes sense to me. PS: I like how the maneuver node now has a arrow in it when it can be clicked to drag. -
Thank you! Looking forward to this patch and next weeks Dev blog. This reminded me of the ReCoupler mod from KSP1. It would be great to see the ReCouple functionality added sometime in the future (post 1.0?) as it would open up additional design possibilities - anyways - just a suggestion!

Had a save with a rover parked in the hills around the KSC. On returning to the rover by way of the tracking station I found the rover upside down 6 or 7 meters in the air and rising - having apparently been flung from the ground on loading.
