I would like to request a way to sort waypoints by distance under the celestial body tab. Would that be possible? This mods makes survey sso much more convenient!

Hmmm strange I tried setting the density to 0.000001251 and I still get a crap ton of DeltaV. Hope squad take note and open that up as well to modders. :/ - - - Updated - - - Not with mods

Hi I was wondering by what amount I have to reduce the density of the EVA Propellant resource on kerbals in order to reduce the delta v available by say a factor of 10. This is all since the thruster isp seems to be hard coded. I just wondered if there is a quick/simple calculation that would give a good estimate. Thanks!

YAy for comets that looks amazing 8D

Hey BahaD I know this isn't the thread for this inparticular, but making a new thread seemed like a waste, but what happened to the heat refraction you were working on for jet engines? Thanks!

Dr jet chop shop has some I believe

What super computer are you running? With all my mods load time is usually 5-8 minutes mostly the 40k MM patches, but still not every mod is worth the time. I already bug hunt too much as is

Any news on the next release? No one likes a tease . I just really want those props!

Same still can't get on my plane.

Wow this will be the mod for novas vision simple amazing can't wait.

Under which node for !minThrust = DEL Configs or ModuleEngines? I just checked my MM cache and I don't even have minthrust under the CONFIG nodes only maxthrust.

Thanks Nathan ! Always very appreciated!

See that is a poor way to gauge balance when parts are all massively heavier in KSP cause we play at toy scale. They may match real life but nothing else does so you can't use that as a measuring stick when it's convenient and throw it out when it isn't. That probably how we got the number we have. Good game design may correlate with RL, but likely should not be based on it. Also to add as well I wish the cockpits were lighter as it's impossible to build close replica aircrafts as the cockpit can weigh as much as many ultra light aircrafts total. I think all mk1 cockpits should have a relatively low crash tolerance and heat resistance and should absolutely not be able to survive reentry. That would allow them to be lighter without invalidating command pods. Mark2 should be the star of space planes IMO.

Thanks for taking up support of the mod. THe only thing I would love to see added to the mod is RealFuels compatibility. Ensouensou had been trying to get that working, but never was successful. Some details about it here. Maybe try contacting nathanKell the author of RealFuels.

Might as well report it just to have the dev at least take a look. I have been noticing the same thing when using stage recovery that boosters I dropped 10km up said recovered 100sKm away which seemed strange. That maybe the cause.

The 1.25m K2X engines doesn't actually gimbal the thrustTransform it only seems to move the mesh. I.e. It looks like the engine is gimbaling, but the thrust still comes out straight down. I have noticed on some of the larger engines that it seems fewer thrustTransforms were used than actual nozzles on the part such as the large mother engines. Would these issue be able to be fixed before 1.1? Thanks!

Hey nathan just did a test with minimal mods installed and throttling definitely is not functioning. Here is the code I used. I had the base RealSettings file with the intended throttle limits based on engine type and TL. Mods involved Latest realfuel, MFI, Solverengines, ModuleRCSFX, communityresourcepack, and smokescreen/RealPlume RFStockalike configs. Repro 1. Build an craft and attach an L type engine. 2. Launch and ignite engine. Since throttle starts at 50% at launch. 3. Engine ignites at 50% below launch engine throttle limit of 100% for L type <TL2 Let me know if I can assist in any other way. Thanks! @PART [*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleEngineConfigs]]:FINAL { @MODULE[ModuleEngineConfigs] { @CONFIG,* { %throttle = 1 } } }

Hey Nathan I am trying to set up limited throttling to all engines based on tech level and type. However the patch I am applying doesn't limit the minimum throttle. Here is the code I am trying. Is there some other way to go about this? Thanks! @PART [*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleEngineConfigs]:HAS[#techLevel[3],#engineType[L+]]]:FINAL { @MODULE[ModuleEngineConfigs] { @CONFIG,* { @throttle = 0.75 } } }

Do you guys never have a ship on the runway/launchpad after launching through the normal KCT window that you want to get back to? I usually click the runway/ launchpad as it gives an option to go back to a vessel. Will that still be possible? I don't have the little popup showing a vessel that you can click to take control anymore, so thats my method without having to do a scene change.

New cockpit is the new mk1. No more mk1 fighters. Seriously you're making excuses for them? How long does it take a day or 2 tops? What are the artists doing then? They can't code so what are they doing? I'd rather wait and have a finished product that half assed laziness. And if it is too hard for the current artist find someone who can finish their work in a timely fashion.

It's pretty sad that they can't even include an IVA in a part they make. Screams lazy to me, and replacing parts when they could add new things didn't they learn anything from the round 8?

Options are great but please don't make those default.

I am trying to modify some code I found. It is adding an EVA parachute MODULE to kerbals. Within the parachute MODULE, ModuleKrKerbalParachute, there is a float value called deployeddrag. I want to set this to a value when I add this MODULE to the KerbalEVA part I want to set the value to 10. I am not sure how to write the code to set the value when adding the MODULE. Thank you! namespace EVAParachutes { [KSPAddon(KSPAddon.Startup.MainMenu, true)] public class initKerbalEVA : UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour { public void Awake() { ConfigNode EVA = new ConfigNode("MODULE"); EVA.AddValue("name", "ModuleKrKerbalParachute"); try { PartLoader.getPartInfoByName("kerbalEVA").partPrefab.AddModule(EVA); } catch{} EVA = new ConfigNode("MODULE"); EVA.AddValue("name", "ModuleKrKerbalParachute"); try { PartLoader.getPartInfoByName("kerbalEVAfemale").partPrefab.AddModule(EVA); } catch{} } }}

Here is the relevant code snippet from regolith the system the stock system was based on I would guess it will be the same, but without hearing from RD no one knows for sure. //Altitude band - only applies to atmospheric and interplanetary if ( (request.ResourceType == HarvestTypes.Atmospheric || request.ResourceType == HarvestTypes.Interplanetary) && distro.HasVariableAltitude()) { var rad = body.Radius; var ideal = ((rad*distro.MinAltitude) + (rad*distro.MaxAltitude))/2; //print("REGO: IDEAL = " + ideal); var range = rand.Next((int)(rad * distro.MinRange), (int)(rad * distro.MaxRange)); var diff = Math.Abs(ideal - request.Altitude); var rangePerc = diff / range; var modifier = 1d - rangePerc; abundance *= (float)modifier; } So it is based on planetary radius mostly.

Did anything ever get figured out about the rare circumstance where an engine didn't want to ever show particles because of how it was made or something?
