Thank you for a great explanation. I'll test this when I get home. What happens if the 80% thrust isn't enough to do it?

Oh, that explains a lot. Yes, this is a problem. Either one or the other, but not both. Personally, left click is an action, right click for a menu or popup.

Question: I have a ship with mechjeb and a pilot on board. The pilot has no xp, so when I turn on SAS, it doesn't show any of the icons to the left of the navball (maybe this is my problem?) I turn off mechjeb, but this doesn't seem to work. What do I need on the ship to make this work properly (I'm assuming I have a mistake somewhere). Thanks in advance

Diazo, Another suggestion, although I'm not sure how difficult it would be: Have two sets of numbers: Maximum Altitude to activate at Desired descent rate at max altitude Altitude to stop working at (location hover height) Desired descent rate at this altitude The idea would be to not start the engine until the maximum altitude is reached. Then to start slowing the ship down. Scale the descent rate from the first rate to the second rate along the flight path. For example, I'm landing on the Mun, from an orbit which is 45,000m high. I do my deorbit burn and start descending. I set the max altitude to 5000m, and a descent rate of 100m/s I set the min altitude to 10m, and a descent rate of 0m/s So, at 5000m, the control would start the engine and slow the ship to 100m/s. I'll list some values below, my feeling would be that the descent rate would be continously calculated depending on the height: At 4000m, the control would calculate a descent rate of 80m/s At 3000m, 60m/s at 2000m, 40m/s at 1000m, 20m/s at 10m, 0m/s, and in a hover mode. If altitude was set to 0m, then it would be a landing mode The calculation could be: maxAGL = max altitude above ground level maxAGLv = descent velocity at the maxAGL minAGL = min altitude above ground level minAGLv = descent velocity at the minAGL Assuming that current AGL is <= maxAGL: targetV = ((maxAGLv - minAGLv)*(curAGL / (maxAGL -minAGL))) + minAGLv This calculation would also work (if desired) for altitudes above the maxAGL, it would be proportional. Again, thanks for all your hard work.

Hi, running CKAN 1.5.6-0-g windows 7 KSP 32 bit I tried doing an update of two mods at the same time I wanted to install a new mod. CKAN had some sort of error. I don't think it actually did the updates, but now when I run it again, it says there are no updates available, even though I did do a refresh. How can I force CKAN to check to see what version are actually installed?

Hi, I'm wondering what the difference is in the CKAN packages between the following: Standard EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements-7-4.zip High res EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements-7-2-HR.zip Low res EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements-7-4-LR.zip I think it is obvious what the low and high res are, but what is that first one one ? Is it needed? Thanks in advance

Diazo, First, thank you for a great mod, I couldn't land without it. Now, I have one (very minor) request. When I click the button, it turns blue/red. It doesn't matter if it is actually engaged or not (ie: if I am too high it is inactive). Would it be possible to have some sort of visual indication (maybe flashing the button) that while it is engaged, it is not active?

Steam downloads the installer, you can find it and do multiple installs. Alternatively, do a clean install and then copy the entire directory.

Re. directory navigation. Windows uses backslashes, OSX and Linux use forward slashes. Also, Windows has a drive letter (ie: c:), OSX and Linux do not.

Thanks. I'm still working on my first few space stations, actually just marooned a couple of Kerbels on the Mun, need to go rescue them. But I'll keep this in mind for the future.

Does mechjeb work with this?

My apologies also for the offtopic question. Thank you

Just curious, can you define what a "64k" install is?

Thanks. I started using SmartParts about 4 days ago, after the previous post. Works well

ATM will do that for a while, until it's compressed all the textures. You don't say for how long it freezes, or what the CPU usage and memory usage is.

Why not have both? Doubles the fun!

It seems that CKAN is now showing 4 different ATM mods, 2 for X64 and 2 for X86. This would be fine, except that I had installed it using the previous version, when there was only one listed. Now it seems that I can't update any more, or even delete the old. I tried removing the ActiveTextureManagement directory from the GameData, but CKAN keeps complaining: About to remove: Done! The following inconsistecies were found: ActiveTextureManagement-x86-Aggressive conflicts with ActiveTextureManagement-Aggressive. * ActiveTextureManagement-Aggressive conflicts with ActiveTextureManagement-x86-Aggressive. Error! Yet the directory isn't there any more. I tried clearing the CKAN cache, but no change. It appears that CKAN is keeping some information around, but I have no idea where. Can you help, or do I need to contact the CKAN people? Thanks Edit: I removed it by hand using the ckan.exe command line tool. For anyone else who runs into this, the command is: cd to directory where ckan is, then type: ckan remove ActiveTextureManagement-Aggressive Cavaet: I only have a single installation controlled by ckan, if you have more than one, you need to find directions on how to manage specific installations from the command line

You need spaces: -force-d3d11 -no-singlethreaded

Yes, but the drogue chutes should work at much higher speeds. I use FAR, DRE, and RealChutes, so it makes sense to me. I suppose it depends on what mods you are playing with.

Well, what if your ship is symmetrical enough (or asymmetrical enough) that it just tumbles when it hits air? Drogue chutes are designed (in real life) to both keep ships oriented correctly, slow it down a bit, and, sometimes to actually pull out the main chutes.

Other than for initially learning the game, I wouldn't recommend anyone play without FAR (or at least NEAR).

I'd welcome that as well. I've seen lots of interesting ships, but many of them look stupid because they wouldn't work in real life. Same thing with the chutes

Thank you! Just updated, it came in correctly. - - - Updated - - - Just wanted to say again thanks for a great mod. Solved my staging issues very nicely.

I'm using both FAR and Trajectories, along with about 60 other mods. Windows 7, 32 bit KSP Most mods installed by CKAN Works fine for me.

Ah, I understand now. I actually was using a search in the VAB, so saw both types in the same window. I understand about the solar panel. I didn't know where the issue was, so wanted to make e-dog aware of it
