    Is there supposed to be an adapter or something to go from the "K" profile to the "KH" profile? The one with the hump is interesting, but I see no parts to close it and match with the other fuselage profiles, so it seems rather useless. Also, is this compatible with FAR? I don't see anything saying it isn't, but then I see a lot of posts about deleting empty FAR folders to fix problems. I'm having an issue where every vehicle I've tried designing using these parts flips around tail first above about 200m/s. Doesn't seem to matter what I do in the design.

    Excellent!

    Ah. ok, that makes sense. I did notice that the Nova Kirbani system didn't have the same problem. Didn't know why.

    Ok, I was mistaken when it looked like the systems moved when I changed the Distance Factor setting. Setting that from 1 to 2.5 indeed has no effect that I can see. I did not try testing it at 0.5 or 10 as it takes close to 15 minutes to load KSP and I've already spent over 2 hours troubleshooting different settings. The 2.5x rescale also does seem to be forced in effect, as changing that also does not seem to have an effect. I did modify the MM patch as suggested and that seems to have fixed the moon orbits now. Curious, why would that be considered a "temp hack solution" as it seems, based on how the rest of the rescale patch works, that this would have been the original intended fix. I must admit, though, that MM patches are a mystery to me. I've tried to figure them out many times with little luck. They just don't make a lot of sense to me.

    I'm thinking this isn't right. I just installed KSS2 over an existing installation that includes JNSQ. I adjusted the settings file to rescale for 2.5x and left the dimensions distance factor setting at 1x. When I loaded the game, I found this at Aethera, Iores. What we see here is Pythan orbiting inside of Iores. I closed it and adjusted the dimensions distance factor setting to 2.5x and it seems to have pushed the systems out farther, but I don't think it actually altered the systems themselves. This screenshot was take in the second attempt after changing the dimensions distance factor setting. Any ideas?

    Related to TheHelicopterKid's question, what elements of the wing's geometry and position affect the amount of lift it generates (using FAR)? I have a similar problem in that anything I design that uses these wings seems to require insane speed to generate lift. The speed is reduced significantly if I add some incidence (angle the leading edge up a couple of degrees), but it still seems underwhelming on lift unless I make a massively oversized wing. Central question is, does the thickness of the wing and the width and profile of the leading and trailing edges affect the amount of lift the wing generates? It seems like it should, as a deeper loft to the airfoil (thicker wing) would generally increase lift in reality (to a point, at least), but my testing, while a bit inconclusive, seems to indicate thickness does not matter, and leading & trailing edge profiles/geometry might only matter by changing the overall chord length of the wing. I tried with a test airframe adjusting the wing thickness from 0.100 to 0.900 and it seems to takeoff at about the same speed in both configurations. Can anyone who knows how the code works help me here?

    I am a little confused. Has KSS2 been released (after merger with GU)? I'm not seeing how to download it if it has. Also, why is every image showing an imgur placeholder image saying the image is no longer available? Even the image just posted a few days ago (on Jan 6th) is not showing up. Also curious, since I see KSS2 will include a 2.5x rescale support, does that mean it should work with JNSQ? Been away from KSP for a long, long time and was looking forward to playing around with GU again.

    From what I remember with IR, actuators start acting real strange if you scale them. At any rate, TweakScale is blocked (likely for good reason) on the stock and Angel-125 actuators (I think).
  9. kananesgi
    Is there a mod around that adds very small sized actuators? I'm thinking of something small enough to put folding antennae and such on a micro-cubesat like the SSR Micro-Sat mod. All of the stock actuators and those that Angel-125 created are all at least as big as the entire satellite or bigger. [KSP 1.8.1]

    I noticed this issue the other day, too. I tried flipping them around as suggested, but it didn't help. Noticed that they deploy fine from the PAW button, but screwed up when using an AG to deploy them. I then noticed that the fins have several deploy, extend, or toggle actions when setting up the AG. I was using one called "Deploy Fin" or something like that. I switched it to the one labeled simply "Toggle" and it fixed the problem. Since they are now working for me, I haven't bothered to try to sort out what caused this to begin with.

    Yep, found it last night. I'd looked it it a long time ago, didn't realize the inline had double and combo options (I'd only looked at the mk16 chute before). Cool that the presets actually adjust the size of the part, gonna start using this a lot more in the future.
  12. kananesgi
    Is there any way to manually enter drag data in Trajectories? I make extensive use of the Inline Balutes mod for reentry, which unfortunately makes trajectories almost useless because my craft has a massive increase in drag over what it expects, so my impact is dozens, even hundreds sometimes, of km shorter than indicated. The mod is still useful some in helping me generally plot my reentry burn to come down in the vicinity of the KSC, but there isn't really any "precision" to it to speak of. I haven't a clue how to calculate the drag of the inflated balute, but I figure that, if it's possible to manually enter data, I can just do trial and error to get something close to correct.
  13. kananesgi
    Combo preset? Don't know about that. I haven't explored the RC options real deep yet, though. Only thing I've seen "combo" in was the big combo cone, which is too big for my applications usually. When I get off work in a few hours I'll see if I can figure it out.
  14. kananesgi
    I think this is an issue I keep doing. Almost every time I set the chutes up, it gives the warning that they are at max and not enough, but I know they are. This would be because I'm setting them up as a last step usually and it's calculating the mass of the entire launch vehicle instead of just the reentry vehicle. I always set deployment to altitude and pre-employment to about 5000, with full deployment at the default 700. I've found these settings typically guarantee that the craft is slow enough for the chutes and cuts down on the dead time waiting for the capsule to float down while still giving a decent margin of error above the ground. How do you set up a drogue and main in the inline chute part? I've wanted to do this, but the big cone is the only part I've found that lets me setup more than one chute. I've done it with that part, but it doesn't fit well on most of my craft, and often seems to screw up somewhere and looses the drogue chute (programmed for drogue and main, but then had two mains in flight). I'm still on ksp 1.8, so maybe that has something to do with it.

    Sweet! That looks even better than the stock function I've seen (never tried it myself, as RC is one of my "can't live without" mods). Any idea if RC2 will be backward compatible with mods that depend on RC1? Specifically I'm thinking of the Inline Ballutes mod. I use that extensively and it requires RC.
  16. kananesgi
    First off, let me apologize for this question, as I suspect I could find the answer if I could search this thread, but I can't find a way to do that on mobile. How do I get the chutes to offset and not clip into each other using RC? Doing Google searches, all I can find is information on using advanced tweakables (stock, not RC), or folks saying that RC does it with symmetrical parts, but my symmetrical chutes are still clipping. Is there a setting somewhere that I have to activate the feature, or is this something that's no longer supported by RC? I've been away from KSP for a long time now, just getting back into it. Running ksp 1.8.1. Thanks

    [EDIT] NVM. Figured out another way.
  18. kananesgi
    So the original of this mod is on CKAN, but this updated version isn't yet. I'll have to remove the ones I got then and manually put this in its place. @linuxgurugamerjust curious if you plan to tweak the thrust values on the engines any? I haven't actually done anything with these parts yet aside from look at them in the tech tree. Just seems like something like 23,000 kn of thrust from the BFR engine cluster seems outlandish, considering the most powerful stock engine is around 1500 or 1800 kn I think. I know the BFR is massive, but is it really that massive? Even the Falcon 9 cluster seems exorbitant at 5500kn. [EDIT] Oh wait, these are probably built from real world specs, and ksp is like 1/10th real scale. That would explain the discrepancies. I'm playing with JNSQ, which is about 1/4 reality I believe, so these are still massively overpowered I think. But then I can't say for certain until I actually use them in game.
  19. kananesgi
    My apologies, I didn't see this till just now. I simply stopped using the mod and started using the default contracts toolbar button. Less convenient than CW+, but it works well enough. I haven't tried CW+ in months now.
  20. kananesgi
    My apologies for this. I know the answer is around here somewhere because I had this problem some months back with the 1.7.3 version, but I can't seem to figure out how I resolved it then. When I load JNSQ, my KSC is not located at the right place. It's on an island kinda hanging half off of it. As I said, I remember this problem before and it seems like it was a mod conflict, but I've removed KK and KSCExtended, which was where I thought the conflict was, but it didn't help. Anyone point me in the right direction? [EDIT] I'm running 1.8.1, btw. [EDIT 2] Found the conflict. KSC Switcher, which I don't remember installing and doesn't appear to be a dependency for anything else. No idea why it was there or how it installed, but removing it solved the issue.
  21. kananesgi
    For some reason I cannot delete the above bit. Sorry LGG, don't mean to ping you. @vardicd Since I don't have the expansion, I don't select a pad from the editor as you do. With KK, there is a button in the regular toolbar which opens a set of windows that allow you to open and close facilities, as well as choose the launch site. This does not work, however, with KCT. The asterisk menu is how I'm doing it. May seem strange that it's rolling out to a pad on the other side of the world, but I just imagine that it was actually built at that location instead of the KSC.
  22. kananesgi
    @Master39 Yes, I use KK. I haven't had any issues so far with the beta, but I'm not much of a beta tester. I'm not sure if I'm getting errors in my log from this, because I've got several other mods that are throwing errors (but they still working). I did get one CTD the first time I tried to launch from one of the KK pads (from KSC Extended) in my career game, but I reloaded and it worked the second time around. I do not have the MH expansion, though.
  23. kananesgi
    Hmm, I didn't have any problems like this last night, but I only briefly tested it with a tiny rocket from the VAB. It recovered to the VAB without incident. I'll be doing more with it today most likely. I'll report if I run into issues.
  24. kananesgi
    This has indeed solved the issue I was having. The "select launchsite" is now showing up, and the KK launchsites are listed and usable. Thanks a million @linuxgurugamer and @siimav. KCT doesn't honor KK's purchased or opened sites system, meaning I can launch from any KK site, whether I've paid the fee to open it or not, but that's a very minor issue. I can always just force myself not to use a base until I've opened it within KK.
  25. kananesgi
    Ah, I got you. I don't have the making history expansion, so I don't have those. I'm pretty sure at one time, KK and KCT were compatible cause I think I used them, but maybe not.
