Will be fixing this bug this evening It would depend on what sort of interfacing you are looking for. Would this be watching for a particular contract and then do it?

First I've heard of this. Please test it in the original, and do NOT have MKS installed. Keep the log. Assuming it fails, then that will be all I need. If it works, then test with MKS and keep the log again. Not sure what's going on, but it seems that there is something in MechJeb which isn't being initialized properly. I'll want to look into this, and maybe get together with @sarbian to figure this out. @sarbian if you have any ideas, please let me know

If you can could you send me the save file?

Pretty sure it a feature. Are you close to the waypoint? It blinks when you get close

Better yet, post a log file, that will have all that info and more

That's code I put in. But if there are profiles, they should be visible I'll take a look soon

Please note that the following are updated for 1.8 and under my control: Store My Reports Kerbal Space Transport System (KSTS)

First you record the flight, to start a rerun, start at the space center

Will be trying this out tonight

Would also help to know your system specs

Welcome to the forums. Feel free to ask questions, most everybody here are extremely helpful

Hi everyone, I've started work on updating this to 1.8. I am also evaluating a number of changes made by a GitHub user to his forked version, they look good and I just need to fully understand what they are doing before inclusion in to my new version Linuxgurugamer

I've adopted this mod, new thread is here:

Forum user @-MM- wrote this md back in 2016. He's left the scene and gave permission for me to adopt it. Original thread is here: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/148071-142-kerbal-space-transport-system/ If you are running a successful space agency, you will be flying to Kerbin-Orbit a lot. The Kerbal Space Transport System (or KSTS) will allow you to record launches of your transport rockets and planes to be used in automated missions later. It will allow you to transfer resources, crew-members and even deploy brand new ships directly into orbit. And because the cost of launching your payload is only as high as the cost of the mission you've previously recorded, you will benefit greatly of building reusable space planes without the hassle of landing them by hand every time. New Dependencies Click Through Blocker ToolbarController SpaceTuxLibrary You can for example record the launch of a space-plane and deploy a payload with a mass of 2.5t at an altitude of 286km before returning back home: Afterwards you will be able to pick this recorded mission-profile and launch new vessels with a mass <=2.5t into an orbit with an apoapsis below 286km for only the cost of the fuel used by your space plane: The new ship can be deployed at any orbit of your choosing that is within range of your mission-profile or right next to an existing reference-vessel, making your life in low-kerbin orbit much easier: Features: Record transport- and deployment-missions for rockets and planes. Deploy new ships directly to Kerbin-Orbit (must have less or equal the mass of the payload from your reference mission). Transport resources to vessels in Kerbin-Orbit (provided they are in range and have compatible docking-ports). Use multiple transport missions to construct new ships at space stations in Kerbin-Orbit. Transfer kerbals to and from vessels in Kerbin-Orbit. Compatible with KRnD (newly launched ships will always use the latest part-upgrades). Compatible with CLLS (modifications on vessels and crews are communicated via game-events). In-Game help which explains how to get started and how it works. Third Party Support: StageRecovery: With this mod installed the total cost of your recorded flights is reduced by the value of successfully recovered boosters. Known Incompatibilities (this mod skips the usual launch phase, any mod which depends on this might not work correctly): ModularFuelTanks (tank-configuration does not work) USI Life Support (some timers connected to the launch-time don't work) Availability Source: https://github.com/linuxgurugamer/KSTS Download: https://spacedock.info/mod/2303/Kerbal Space Transport System License: CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 Available via CKAN Usage KSTS allows you to automate missions like transporting payloads into space, refueling orbiting vessels and shuttling crew-members from and to Kerbin. To get started, you should build a rocket capable of reaching orbit and record your first mission. Recording flights (see below for payload info) General While on the launchpad hit "Record" to start recording and then try to reach orbit as fast and efficiently as possible. Once in orbit, you can select your desired payload and hit "Release Payload" (it might be wise to save your game beforehand). This will allow you to later transport a payload with equal mass to a similar orbit. The maximum apoapsis of your future missions will be your current periapsis, so try to fly as high as possible. After releasing your payload you can either hit Stop & Save to store the current recording as a new mission-profile, or you can try to return your vessel to Kerbin (if you have a pilot on board, you have to return). If you successfully land your ship, the current value of the vessel will be subtracted from the cost of future missions and you will be able to transport crew-members back to Kerbin with that mission-profile. Deployment mission-profiles A deployment mission will allow you to deploy new vessels around Kerbin. For a deployment mission you will need a vessel that has a subset of parts connected to your vessel by decouplers, separators or docking-ports. Please note that these parts must not be used during your ascent (no running engines, no fuel-consumption), they may not contain any crew-members and they must not contain the root-part of your vessel. Once you click "Release Payload", the selected parts will decouple and will count as "deployed". Transport mission-profiles To perform a transport-mission your ship will need at least one docking-port as well as some RCS-thrusters for docking. Once you are in orbit, you can select any amount of resources that is still left in your vessel and when you hit "Release Payload", it will get dumped into space. Afterwards you will be able to transport an equivalent amount to other vessels in orbit. If you want to record a mission that includes a return-trip, make sure to leave some fuel in the tank. Also note that there is no distinction between crew and resource transport-missions, just record a resource-transport mission and you will be able to also shuttle crew-members into orbit, providing your transport-craft has enough seats. Deployment missions To deploy a new vessel into Kerbin's orbit, you just select the desired payload, and then the desired ship/mission-profile which can lift the required mass and a target-orbit. Once the ETA is reached, the new vessel will appear. Please note that for technical reasons deployment missions can only be executed while you are at the space center. Transport missions To start a transport-mission, select a vessel in orbit around Kerbin and a valid transport mission-profile. Please remember that the target-vessel and the vessel from your mission-profile need matching docking-port types. For technical reasons transport missions will only complete on vessels which are not currently active. So once the ETA is reached, you might want to switch to a different vessel for a while or return to the space center. For the sake of simplicity crew-members will get transferred at the time mission completes. Which means that there is no time required for possible return-trips and you should leave Kerbals alone, which you have selected to get transported into orbit. Construction missions Construction-missions allow you to build new ships directly in orbit which would otherwise be too large to be launched with a deployment-mission. To launch a construction-mission, you will need a space-station in Kerbin orbit (the vessel-type must be Station) with at least one engineer on board as well as a transport-mission profile, which is able to reach said space station. The space station will function as your space dock and while the engineer constructs the new vessel, the selected transport-vessel will shuttle all the required parts into orbit. Please note that a single engineer will only be able to construct a vessel with a maximum dry mass of 10t and that the construction will take some time, one Kerbin-day per ton of dry mass to be exact. You can however halve the required construction time with each scientist stationed on the dock and double the maximum construction size with each additional engineer on your station. Creating Payloads You create a payload in the editor (VAB or SPH) and save it as a vessel. Give it a recognizable name. Then exit the editor, and open KSTS, when you select the mission, all saved vessels will be listed as potential payloads. Make sure that the payload that you select is less than or equal to the maximum payload brought to orbit by the recorded mission.

Thank you, updating now

New release, 1.1.10.1 Deleted log spam (leftover debugging statements)

I gather that both Galelio’s Planet Pack and JNSQ planet pack have better basic design?

I like the last, but couldn’t it be explained by having a very strong magnetic field which deflects most of the radiation?

Look for any files called MiniAVC.dll, if you find any, delete them. They will be in the mod’s directories

Use The Gimp. It's also possible that DDS4KSP will do it for you

Looks like a WIP, there are several issues outstanding

I like it. Seems to have the feel for a kerbal-like pod. I'll have to try it. although 45MB (16Mb for dds) of textures for one part is rather heavy

KSP Physics is still physics, and follows the same laws of physics. Specifically, mass, inertia, CoM all play into it. And have you considered the actual speeds involved? 10m/sec is more than 22 MPH or 36 KPH. A significant amount of speed, especially when you consider that I've seen people traveling at 30m/sec and then complaining that they flip, but they don't realize that that speed is more than 66mph. m/sec is not intuitive for most people, while MPH or KPH is intuitive since that is what we use on a daily basis

Use Editor Extensions Redux, then you can change the angle of the adjustments

FOR says that the modname is available, as if the mod was actually there. Doing a FOR in the same mod is pretty much useless, AFAIK, other than to make it obvious what the file is for. Doesn't hurt to do that, but doesn't really do anything. As soon as the file is read, the mod is known to MM and other MM scripts
