Wavechaser

The resolution of the clouds are still bad in LKO and such, is there a way to fix this? BTW, liked the shadows of the clouds a lot. Nice work! Though it could be better if the shadow darkness is tweakable.

Updated v0.1.5.14X, which should work in KSP v1.0.5.

NVIDIA has an Photoshop plugin for .dds files. Just Google it. AMD should have one as well, though I'm a NVIDIA user, so I never paid too much attention on that.

It'll be great if you can set up a download after it's useable. You click the image button on the top toolbar, right next to the URL buttons, then you paste in the image URL (direct URL, not stuff to the image page, for example this: http://i.imgur.com/K2I7abg.jpg).

For sure:) Just some models and textures will be great!

Thanks. I'll try that.

There are alias and random black bars over the edge of the terrains in far background. Not sure how to fix. Like this, especially when you zoom in a lot (second img), or even at raw resolutions. I have AVP installed with medium textures and a couple optional features (like auroras), with 8x anti-aliasing. I do have a bunch other graphics mods (HotRockets, Ven's Stock Part Revamp, Destruction FX, Engine Light, Collision FX and a couple others), but I doubt that they would have caused this. My machine runs on Windows 8.1, with 4720HQ, GTX 960M and 16GB DDR3-1600. This happens in both Forced OpenGL and not Forced OpenGL (DX11, I assume?). Any idea what to do?

The model ands textures look rough-ish. Is it supposed to look better under higher anti-aliasing? Or will there be a more detailed one later on?

Sure, that's very nice of you. Though it will probably not be our first priority at this time, since bugs are flying around our mod everywhere. After we fix those, we can work on its RSLV config alone with modeling CZ-6. Um, I think there're already a couple people who has created the Wenchang space center in RSS, though it's not made public (as far as I know).

That does not support KSP v0.1.x, and I believe that's one of the things we're continuing from. For real scale, it's 1:1 size as to the real thing.

We're not "never" gonna release stock scaled rockets in this pack, but this is not our first priority. Once we have the RSLV configs settled, we can then move on to Kerbin-compatible ones.

Downloads are online now. Dropbox should be around very soon, and v0.1.5.01Y dev preview is available on KerbalStuff and GitHub. Please refer back to the thread itself.

There is now a release as a developmental preview, which is guaranteed buggy. As Kerwis is no more interested on working on the Chinese Pack, we KerbFilm Studios will continue to maintain it. Well duh, I know by our name, we're "supposed" to make videos and stuff blah blah blah, just ignore that part and move on. ===== Congratulations to the Chinese on successful maiden flight of CZ-7 on June 25!! ===== This thread will be updated (or not) as soon as possible when new progresses are made. This pack is currently intended for RSLV (Real-Scale Launch Vehicles), and THERE ARE NO PLANS FOR STOCK SUPPORTS in the upcoming version (and very likely a couple more after) yet. After we finish up with the RSLV configs, we can then consider making a Kerbin-compatible version of these. If you have a feature request, feel free to post it under this thread, we will weight each option and choose some to add to the planned features list. There's already a CZ-9 mod (The Martian Rockets), you can find it [HERE]. It only supports stock instead of RSS and RO. Its author, MajorLeagueRocketScience, kindly allowed us to write RSLV configs for it, and we'll start working on that once CZ-1, -2F, -3B, -5 and Shenzhou are stable. For now, balances for Career Mode are by far not finished. It will be still useable (somewhat) in Career Mode, but do so at your own risk. Unless it's a good bug, supports will not be provided before a version with official career support has been released. Here are some pics. Images provided by mark7 As this is WIP for now, the formal release date is unconfirmed as far as this thread. It will possibly be around December this year. It's just ComingSoon™ – MAIN FEATURES – Chinese rockets and spacecraft CZ-1 CZ-2F CZ-3B CZ-5 CZ-6 CZ-7 CZ-9 Shengzhou Spacecraft New manned spacecraft (No official name yet) FAR compatible fairings based on PF – WIP FEATURES – CZ-1 rocket (Mostly done) CZ-2F rocket (Models are mostly done, cfg fixes WIP) CZ-3B rocket (Mostly done) CZ-5 rocket (Remodeling & Revamp done, texturing WIP) CZ-6 rocket (Models done, texturing WIP) CZ-7 rocket (Models done, texturing WIP. Est completion by 07-20) CZ-9 rocket (Half way through modeling, engines are not done yet) Shenzhou Spacecraft (WIP, now a somewhat working prototype) New Spacecraft (Models done, texturing WIP) CZ-7 Models New Chinese manned space craft pics (name still not determined yet, we'll call it Next Generation Crew Vehicle, or NGCV, for now) The NGCV can hold up to 6 astronauts, and is capable of reentering at the speed of 11.2 km/s. Somewhat comparable to Orion. – PLANNED FEATURES – Stock balances and support Career balances – DOWNLOADS – >>>>>THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE, AND EXPECT IT TO BE BUGGY<<<<< Secondary: GitHub Tertiary: Dropbox No source codes of this mod are available as this is essentially a part-only mod by itself. Links to source codes of the plugins we've used can be found on their dev/release thread, see "Dependencies" section for more info and links. Legacy downloads can be found at SpaceDock changelog page and GitHub releases page. – DEPENDENCIES – Module Manager* (NOT INCLUDED) Community Resource Pack (Included) XT Landertron (Plugin included) Procedural Fairings (Will be one in the future, but not done by now) * If you don't want RF and RP patches, then you don't have to have it. – NOT DEPENDENT BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED – RSS or 10x Kerbol System (unless you like single-stage-to-Jool rockets) Ferram Aerospace Research (unless you like the soupy atmosphere in RSS) Kerbal Joint Reinforcement (unless you like noodle-like rockets) Kerbal Crew Manifest (Shenzhou's orbital module's hatch doesn't work, this provides a temporary workaround for crew transfering) Real Fuels (Will be supported in future versions, integration WIP) RealChute (Provides some help for Shenzhou's chute problems, and it is a good mod afterall) RealPlume (If you can run RSS at a reasonable FPS, I guess some pretty FX won't hurt anybody) – EXTRAS – There are none as far as of this thread. Sorry. RP FX is on its way of being integrated. – COMPATIBILITY – It is designed to work in v1.0.5 so far. As it is a mostly part-only mod, it should more or less work with 1.1.x. It is likely to work just fine in v1.0.0, v1.0.1, v1.0.2, v1.0.3 and v1.0.4, but if you are using such installations, just don't expect too much support. This pack is on the Comprehensive Kerbal Archive Network, or CKAN. It's done via KerbalStuff (which means I'm not quite sure what exactly happened to it). It also works in the Community Windows x64 Workaround. You will receive support on x64 builds as long as we can manage it. SUPPORTED MODS: (Not a complete list) No conflict with other mods are known. – INSTALLATION – 1. Hit a download button somewhere 2. Unzip and extract content 3. Throw the stuff into \KSP Root Folder\GameData\ folder the same way you do to other mods 4. Make sure all dependencies are there (they're included), maybe a couple ones in the recommended section 5. ...? 6. PROFIT!!!!! You are encouraged to manually delete the past versions of it before installation, despite that your OS will ask to replace them anyway. Especially during the developmental and pre-release phase, any left-overs can cause really bad stuff to happen. I don't even want to imagine those. – RECOMMENDED HARDWARE SETUP – Minimal: Intel Core i7 5600U (2C4T, BF 2.60GHz, Turbo Boost 3.2GHz – 3.1GHz) Intel HD Graphics 5500 (24EU at 300MHz – 950MHz, 1GB Shared) 6GB DDR3L-1333 5400RPM SATA3 HDD Recommended: Intel Core i7 3632QM (4C8T, BF 2.20GHz, Turbo Boost 3.2GHz – 3.0GHz) NVIDIA GT 750M (384EU at 967MHz, ≥1GB GDDR5 Dedicated) 8GB DDR3-1600 SATA Express/PCIe NVMe SSD – KNOWN ISSUES – - Shenzhou's parachute only has the upper half visible, but does function normally (somewhat) - Shenzhou command pod will slide sideway during parachuted descent like [THIS], it will be better under RealChute - CZ-3 RP FX is buggy and needs some more work, thus it is disabled by default - Shenzhou orbital module's crew hatch is un-clickable (no menu popping up), see MMG's devnote for more. This bug is now currently beyond our ability to repair, due to that it's something wrong with Unity or KSP itself. UPDATE: it works fine in 1.0.5, but still buggy in 1.0.4. Not sure why. – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – Q: Will this pack cause my computer to blow up? A: Not this pack itself, but RSS and RO. See the recommended hardware section for more. Dual core CPUs with strong single core performance should be enough, as Unity 4 isn't multithreaded and Unity 5 will do fine under 4 threads with HyperThreading. Although disliked by many modders, the Community Windows x64 Workaround is highly recommended if you have more than 8GB of RAM. Remember to use the Windows x64 Unfixer with this. Q: Do you support installations with the Community Windows x64 Workaround? A: Yes. We. Do. As long as it's within our abilities, we will provide as much support as we do to the x86-32 stock builds. Q: (some sort of bugs, instabilities and whatnot) happened! What the %$#@& is wrong with this! A: Please refer back to the known issue section. This mod is still in heavy development phase, and as I've said above, use at your own risk. Nearly all pre-released stuff are buggy, and do expect that when using it. We're working hard to debug, though there are some beyond our ability or it takes longer to fix. Please, do backup your install before using this mod. Q: Will you add (this and that) A: Probably not. But feel free to comment if you find something you want and it's not in the WIP Features list. We may add it to that if it's good. – CONTRIBUTORS – mark7 (Project lead, some cfg editing and realism integration) 01010101lzy (Modeling, texturing, some cfg balancing) fantzz (cfg editing advisory, cfg debugging.

This should be a easy fix. Somebody has hacked \KSP_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll to disable this thing (but it's against the EULA), and it would be a one-minute fix for Squad.

This thing really annoys me. When trying to hide some Separatrons inside some boosters, or start an engine in an opened cargo bay, they don't work anymore after v1.0.0. All of my custom built LAS (which is stuffing some boosters inside a PF fairing) don't work anymore. I've seen people not being able to activate engines in some semi-closed space. Never paid too much attention on that one, but it seems to be there. In some cases, this could be helpful, but mostly (for me, at least) it's just plainly annoying. So shouldn't there be a way we can turn it off for whoever doesn't want it?

Among stock parts, the large one (Gigantor XL) can retract as well.

Textures still look a little rough-made from the picture given. Adding more details, and itty-bitty thing may help. And, BTW, adding some normal maps can help bring up the detains a lot. For the FX, you can try steal some stuff from HotRockets. Or, at least support for HotRockets.

Really great mod! Could be better if everything except for active vehicles are turned into green/blue screen though...

Will be great with First Person EVA!

Make sure you acknowledge and give credit to its original author. I made the "Deal With It" pic.

So it seems like you've replaced the Squad folder...(which is fine for me) It looks to me that it should support TweakScale and other mods with a bunch of MM Patches on the stock parts. Is that right?

Quick question, does it support HotRockets! natively or is there some MM Patches somewhere?

O-h m-y G-o-d!! (should it be "Oh my Kraken" in this case though?) This is amazing! I love this!

It's been couple months after I first found out it didn't update for 0.25 (I think) or whenever they changed the editor UI. It probably just died...

You might be missing some components there for your HotRockets!, as it works fine on mine.
