Clearly... get their Keristmas Stockings filled with minty green science samples. Homer

Reported Version: v0.1.5 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes OS: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 22621) | CPU: Intel Core i9-10885H | GPU: NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 Max-Q | RAM: 64GB Is anyone experiencing issues with Escape towers fired with the Abort action group? I've tried making both a Mercury clone with sepratrons and an Apollo clone with the bottle rocket without success. If the motor(s) and coupler are in the same action group only the coupler fires. If I put the coupler in say the Brake action group and the motor(s) in the abort action group, they work pressing Brake followed by Abort. I would expect an abort action should fire both the coupler and motor(s) together. I confirmed this is the behavior in KSP 1 (Coupler and escape tower in the abort action group, fire together). This is an un-modded installation of 0.1.5.0.28834 Homer Included Attachments: NewWorkspace.json

FYI, I think this might be a bug or the Abort key has changed. I'm clicking the "!" icon and all I get is the decoupler and arming of the motor. I tried with the escape tower part, Bottle Rocket, without luck either. OK: The issue is putting the coupler in the same action group as the abort motor. If I just put the abort motor(s) (Bottle Rocket or 3 Sepratrons) in the Abort group and the decoupler in the Brake group, then it works. Brake to well break the capsule off and abort to fire the motor(s). I'm not sure that is right. Homer

Thanks. I have done this with either or both of the available options, Activate Engine and/or Toggle Engine, along with the capsule decoupler. Neither results in the happy case of the capsule being pulled off the stack with firing sepratrons. I can stage the sepratrons with the tower decoupler just fine. The current unsatisfying result is abort fires the decoupler and arms the sepratrons. I have to remove the tower decoupler from the stage and then hit spacebar. Homer

So, I'm making a Mercury clone and I'm using sepratrons as an abort tower. How do I use the abort action group (can I?) to separate the capsule from the booster and fire the sepratrons? I only see activate and toggle when adding the sepratrons but cannot make them fire without staging. Homer

Does anyone know how to select silver/aluminum as the part skin color? Homer

I just unpacked the new one over the old one. Homer

The save files got moved to a more common spot, not in the install directory. See here: Also, I can confirm, just unpack the new version over the old version and overwrite. I'm guessing when they add major functionality, just delete the contents of the old version and unpack to start fresh. Homer

@DareDrop Did you go back to the same page where you fulfilled your original download? Mine shows a new version 0.1.1.0 is there. No patch but I assume you just copy it over the original. Homer

With either the Mk 1 or Mk 3 capsules, the craft sinks when it splashes down. It also spins uncontrollably. https://support.privatedivision.com/attachments/token/QjP0PKodQZrAVC0zoqF7cxMjV/?name=Kerbal+Space+Program+2+2023-02-26+20-24-48.mp4 Posted here at the request of PD bug report support. Homer

Is this by country? I bought from PD and it is in my PD account. I log in, go to My Account/Game Downloads and there is a link for my direct download. Homer

I agree... performance will come. First, fix things like spinning out of control, pushing a soggy noodle and other game breaking bugs so at least I can enjoy/get somewhere while I'm watching a slide show! Homer

Can you show the same chart for a similar, long duration, early access game? Say, Baldur's Gate 3. Gut feel: lots of people bought as it *will* be an awesome game but they don't want to faff around on a daily basis. I loaded up BG3 at EA inception and then left to let things sort out. I'll be back at full release. I only got into KSP1 at about 0.8 or so. Missed a great deal of these same issues. Homer

Uh... Can't you just make the .../SpaceWarp/Mods point to .../Bepinix/Plugins via The Complete Guide to Creating Symbolic Links (aka Symlinks) on Windows (howtogeek.com)? Or will that make Bepinex choke on the SpaceWarp mods? Homer

Not to sidetrack but... @linuxgurugamer On your Apollo style mission, did you stack your CM atop your LM for launch? If so, how did you do it? KSP1 let docking ports be staged. I'm struggling to get mine stacked without a bunch of decouplers that will fly all over the place. Homer

I believe the technical term is E-AF-A... Seriously, is there a way to see when patches get posted for those that bought direct from Private Division? Here is what I think I have seen so far, I'm sure of the first two... 0.1.0.0.20893 Patch 1 (or whatever) <- live now 0.1.0.0.20892 EA / Scott Manley's first video 0.1.0.0.20658 Matt Lowne's first video 0.1.0.0.20375 ShadowZone's first video Homer

CKAN is awesome! My vote, if we get those things still, is to sort of separate them. With one executable, make two branches of the meta data and manage them via the game instance. Only load the repo for the base game either on the default or the one you load. That might make it easier-ish for you to maintain while allowing people to quickly launch their default and then allow them to switch back and forth without too much overhead. That all relies on KSP2's devs sharing their planned mod structure now. Otherwise, it might have to get redone when they officially release mod structure. Unless they already have... Homer

I love the idea of this mod but I can't get around using it in Career mode. You end up with being able to get a rocket that is only meant to go 1000 m beyond the Karman line and it looks nothing like the original because you haven't unlocked the right parts yet. Is there an easy way to play these missions with all the right parts? I was thinking to convert this to Mission Builder format but it is not straightforward, or I haven't found the right set of instructions. Homer

Bug replicated by Matt Lowne: Homer

You could always publish this as a mod "shell" where people would have to locate & provide the old files needed from their legit copy of the last software version where this existed. I'm assuming GOG/Steam/SQUAD still let you download the old version... Homer

KSP: 1.8.1 Windows 64bit Problem: Hinge leads to pinwheeling, see linked video. Mods installed: Both DLC and below. All the mods are current according to CKAN 1.26.6. Those marked are pre-1.8.0: AutomatedScienceSampler Chatterer ChattererExtended ClickThroughBlocker CommunityDeltaVMaps DistantObject DistantObject-default DockingPortAlignmentIndicator EasyVesselSwitch EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements KerbalAlarmClock KerbalEngineerRedux KerboKatzUtilities ModuleManager NavballDockAlignIndCE PlanetShine PlanetShine-Config-Default RealTimeClock2 Scatterer Scatterer-config ScienceRelay StageRecovery StockVisualEnhancements SVE-MediumResolution SVE-Sunflare TacFuelBalancer TextureReplacer Toolbar ToolbarController Trajectories TransferWindowPlanner PRE-1.8.0 TriggerAu-Flags unBlur PRE-1.8.0 UNDOCKINATOR PRE-1.8.0 VaporVent WaypointManager xScienceContinued Reproduction steps: I have a station en route to Minmus. The station uses 2 of the hinges to deploy solar panels. Launched, extended and performed trans burn no problem. Switched to Space Center and a few Kerbal days later switched back. The result is here, sort of amusing (10 second video, about 14MB). Anyone seen this before and short of redesigning without the hinge, how can i fix it? My mod list is above in case one of these is the issue (I sort of doubt it.). Note that in the same game save I have a hinge in a shuttle as part of a grabber arm and it works fine. Update: Reduced mods to just these two, as they have parts on some of my craft. KerbalEngineerRedux (1.1.7.1) VaporVent (1.1.10) Switched to station and still pinwheeling. Homer

Love this mod! Question: I see two tweaks with SVE: scatterer I'd like to make, how do I do them? I prefer the opaque water from the default scatterer config, how to change the SVE: scatterer to use it? The low sun clouds, especially from the ground/below, look like a dark and stormy morning/evening, how to reduce the horror movie look? Homer

I started a pull request. Let's see? Homer

Hey, If you are still around, can you get the CKAN meta data changed to "any" for KSP version? That way, when Chatterer gets revved the excellent Chatterer Extended doesn't appear to be disabled in CKAN? I know I can manually download and install but... Homer

I threw in a meta bug request. Note that on this page, the updated ones still state "For Kerbal: 1.4.3". CKAN closed that one so I reposted here. UPDATE: Someone kindly opened a Pull Request as well. Homer
