Wow, I feel like an idiot. I didn't notice everything was public static. Thought there was an instance somewhere I had to obtain and modify. Thanks!

I would like to activate infinite fuel, ignore heat, etc... from my mod. Is that functionality exposed anywhere? I found the CheatOptions class in the assembly, but couldn't find any way to set it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

After reading the source I think I found part of the cause of my action group woes. protected void Activate() { DebugOutput("Activate"); if (part.State == PartStates.DEAD) { return; } if (camActive) { if (sAllowMainCamera) { RestoreMainCamera(); } else { CycleCamera(1); } return; } sCurrentCamera = this; camActive = true; } If I use the activate action group for a camera that is already active, and I have main cam disabled, it cycles. I suspect there is a bug with cycling in this case that causes some of the active flags to get inconsistent, cause things get wonky after that happens. Anyhow, How do you feel about a config option to stay on the camera if you activate it and it is already active. My desire is that the 1 key always switches to a certain camera, no matter what, and so on. With main camera enabled it is a reasonable toggle, but with main camera disabled, things get crazy. Thanks!

Ok, that actually makes a lot of sense. I got it pretty good using surface velocity under 36000 and orbit velocity above that. Is there a table somewhere of altitudes for switching surface -> orbit mode for all bodies? Or even better a useful formula? Thanks for all your help!

Yeah, I'm having a bit of trouble with the pitch: [FONT=Menlo][COLOR=#009695]var [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]planetUp[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]=[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]([/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]thisVessel[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]rootPart[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]transform[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]position[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]-[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]thisVessel[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]mainBody[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]position[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333])[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]normalized[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333];[/COLOR] [COLOR=#009695]var [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]pitch[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]=[/COLOR][COLOR=#3364a4]Vector3d[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]Angle[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]([/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]planetUp[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333],[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]thisVessel[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]obt_velocity[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]normalized[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333])[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333];[/COLOR] [COLOR=#009695]return [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]pitch[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333];[/COLOR][/FONT] I would expect this to stay at or near 0 as I ascend pointing straight up. It starts at around 90 and shrinks gradually to around 11 or so degrees as I climb. This is obviously not correct. Thanks for your help. I got the heading working perfectly.

I did try that. It didn't make things any better. It actualy got kinda glitchy a few times. It is hard to replicate.

I think the prograde heading is the same as the surface heading in your linked code, so thanks for that. The pitch is not working for me. I'll keep trying a few things and post my code in a bit.

I am working on a console project and would like to implement almost all of the ui on my various external devices. I would, however like to use the in-game navball, as there really isn't a suitable replacement for it. I would normally use f2 to hide all ui, but I do want to show the navball (navball enhanced actually). I would like to hide the altimiter, the staging view, the little attitude thing in the bottom right, the toolbar, the warp indicator, the crew portraits, etc. I am willing to make a mod to enable that, but I am not sure where in the api I can go about finding and hiding those elements, or if it is even possible at all. Can anyone point me in a good direction?

I'm having trouble getting cameras to work with action groups. I want to set it up so 1 goes to my forward facing camera, 2 goes to rear facing, 3 goes outward, etc. I set up action groups to activate the various cameras, but they don't seem to work consistently. Sometimes it feels like it goes to the right one, other times it seems to just jump randomly. Is there a proper way to set up action groups to go to a particular camera? I have tried with and without agx. I have disabled the main camera and am not using rpm.

I am wanting to make a more advanced navball that I can run in a browser for my physical console project. I am hoping to modify the navball code from https://github.com/creshal/telemachus-glass-cockpit which is built on data from telemachus. It is able to draw the navball by reading rawPitch, rawHeading and rawRoll from telemachus (calculated with this code: https://github.com/richardbunt/Telemachus/blob/master/Telemachus/src/DataLinkHandlers.cs#L1123) In order to render prograde, retrograde, maneuver, etc.., I need to modify telemachus to give me raw pitch and heading data for those vectors. If I take [COLOR=#333333]Vector3 prograde = this.vessel.GetObtVelocity();[/COLOR] I get a vector in x,y,z space. That is about as far as I have gotten. I need to transform this into pitch and heading values relative to the current body in order to render them on the navball. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Would it be possible to add a camera to the stock docking ports? I would really love a nice smooth docking view, and just putting aerocams near the docking port never quite gives the proper angle. Looking at the part.cfg files it should be as easy as adding a module to the stock docking ports, but I am not sure what I am doing. Has anybody done this?
