Omg, that is quite amazing I must say. Very creative on your part, I'd love to see more iterations when they come up, but thing is, the wind shows up backwards on your arrow, this is probably caused by the shape the airbrakes make when you open them and how wind doesn't like going inside that little cavern you make under the brakes, it'd much rather prefer to go over the brakes than under them. Try having the brakes on the front of the arrow instead, see how that works out.

@kiwiak: I'm not sure what you mean exactly, windsocks have already been mentioned, and if you look on my GUI, it explicitly tells you the direction of the wind.

@Javster: It's planned to have a windsock, it's all about getting wind touched up a bit and expanded on. It's also a bit of a challenge to get things that you aren't focused on, or switched to, to animate/ do things properly. In due time my friend, in due time.

@Dragon01: As I've said before, the creator and I have talked in the past, and it may be something to look into, but for now I'm working on getting some things finished up and polished, debugging and testing and the such.

Just a Quick Update guys: I will be releasing Alpha 0.0.3 soon! I'm just working on some GUI changes and getting some info to look pretty.

@Helix935: No. And im glad you enjoy my mod!

@CaptRobau: oh stahp it you~ *blushes* This is only scratching the surface at what Weather has in store for KSP

@Helix935: Micrometeorites have nothing to do with weather, there is already a mod for that also. And yes, duststorms, snow and ice are all in the planned features section of my post.

@ahappydude: FAR worked with Hooligans Airship stuff, so my plugin works with it as well. Any mod that works well with FAR, works with my mod as well. @BFGfreak: EVE is something I was talking to the creator about, but I'm most likely going to add my own clouds and such. It's a possibility though!

KsWeather Requires you to have FAR, NEAR is not supported and does not see support with KSWeather.

That's right! Weather is here!(just wind + a few clouds for now ) And that means you can go sailing, flying, and worry about your rockets drifting off course! It's a WIP and is in it's early alpha stages, but there's enough to warrant an alpha release! Screenshots + Videos: Videos: Community Creations: Known issues: -Kerbal Weather Systems will NOT work with Windows 64 bit KSP. -Setting the wind high enough will cause your craft to become subject to Kraaken attacks. -Broken Solar Panels dont update properly with FAR, it is a FAR issue, not Kerbal Weather Systems. Incompatabilities: -NEAR Installation + Download: *MAKE SURE TO DELETE ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF KWS BEFORE INSTALLING!!! 1.Latest Version of Ferram Aerospace Research is a requirement! The mod won't work without it! 1.5 FAR Thread: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/20451 2. Copy and past the GameData folder over to your KSP directory 3. Boot up KSP and enjoy the cool breeze! If you really love using this mod and would like to contribute to help alleviate the money it takes to have this going at the pace I have it going, or just want to show support in a little way, then feel free to check out the donation link in the download on Kerbal Stuff below!: Download: (Kerbal Stuff!) (Down) Alternate Download (Dropbox) https://www.dropbox.com/s/zz77c70es81512r/KerbalWeatherSystems%20Alpha%205.2.zip?dl=0 Instructions For Use: -GUI is pretty self explanatory, make sure you don't put letters where numbers belong and vice versa. -When starting the Wind Gust Storm, it will first kill the wind, which will take about 20-30 seconds, even if you see the wind speed is 0.00, it might still be less than that and still killing the wind, you WILL NOT be able to change the wind speed, or direction during a wind storm, as changing the wind direction and strength, would change those for the windstorm as well, this is all apart of slow integration to automatic wind values. Embrace the love of the wind. -For the Wind Gust Storm, when selecting direction, it takes in an Integer!! not a string, so please input numbers 1-9 for the 8 cardinal directions, otherwise, things will break. Weather Functions/API Thing: So, I have gone out of my way to make a weather function caller/api thing. What it allows you (as a modder) to do, is say, getAltitudeFromCell(Cell in question) and it will return you the value. there are plenty of functions you can call, and it's only just the beginning! These will only grow in number as this mod grows more features. If you are referencing the KerbalWeatherSystems.dll, you'll find WeatherFunctions class under namespace Database, and can be found with the following functions: getCellAlbedo(WeatherCell cell) getPressureDifference(WeatherCell cellA, WeatherCell cellB) getAbsolutePressureDifference(WeatherCell cellA, WeatherCell cellB) getNeighbourWithHighestPressureDifference(Cell cell) getCellPressureGradientVector(WeatherCell weatherCell) getCellVector(Cell cellA, Cell cellB) getCellNeighbours(Cell cell) getCellWindSpeed(WeatherCell cell) getCellWindDirection(WeatherCell cell) isCellHigherPressure(WeatherCell cellA, WeatherCell cellB) isCellHigherTemperature(WeatherCell cellA. WeatherCell cellB) isCellMoreHumid(WeatherCell cellA, WeatherCell cellB) getNumberofCells(int gridLevel) getCellAltitude(WeatherCell cell) getCellLongitude(WeatherCell cell) getCellLatitude(WeatherCell cell) getCellHumidity(WeatherCell cell) getCellTemperature(WeatherCell cell) getCellPressure(WeatherCell cell) getCellDensity(WeatherCell cell) getCellPosition(Cell cell) getCellAtLocation(CelestialBody body, Vector3 worldPos) getWeatherCellFromCell(CelestialBody body, Cell cell) getCellMap(CelestialBody body) These are straight from the WeatherFunctions class and I am even now working on adding more functions for everyone to use! Have fun modding and do let me know if you come up with a mod that uses my values~ ALSO! If you have any suggestions for possible functions for the WeatherFunctions class, please let me know and I will see what I can do to add it if possible, thank you~ Changelog: ver 5.3: -Updated so that CKAN users will get an updated version. -It's all hakan's fault!
