  1. It's not pretty though, you have to admit that, which is why I went for the hardpoints. Also I find the cubic struts are Kraken bait, so I use other parts such as empty Oscar-B tanks where I used to use cubic struts now.
  2. Fixed your pics, gotta "view image" then copy the url. All parts have drag now, even physicsless parts, this is normal.
  3. Gnomes per second with Vulkan and OpenGL ES. Unity5 will likely support Vulkan, especially on Linux but also on Windows, and the performance gains from that look impressive if this is any indication. If only they'd uses Kerbals...
  4. Fixed? Unlikely. Improved? Possible. 64bit does allow for more numbers after the decimal point, but whether or not those numbers are more precise depends on a lot of things.
  5. Hi gonzo, press 1 or click the other icons Urgh double ninja'd!
  6. Kerbins atmosphere ends at 69,100m, though the music doesn't start till 70,000m you're in vacuum before then.
  7. Moving to Support. Floating point errors add up over time, the further you are from the center of the game world the worse they get which the krakensbane sought to resolve by resetting your position and speed, and moving the universe around the player. SAS was added to KSP to deal with floating point induced rotation as well as to provide flight stability, and improvements have been made to the accuracy of speed and trajectory calculations, see the readme/change notes. Things are as good as they are going to be until Unity5, sorry :/
  8. You're right, there's currently critical packet loss between Savvis and Verizon as can be seen here. Though global internet activity seems okay, see here and here.
  9. To be honest I'm really surprised we aren't seeing tons of magic engine and perpetual motion guys clamoring for attention for their devices now that the EM drive has been discovered, yelling "I told you so" or similar. In fact it's all gone pretty quite, I guess that may be because all they have is easily staged videos where a guy pulls on a wire, hyperbole websites with no science and fantastical claims that have not got a hope of being taken seriously by the scientific communities, and just hoped to drum up publicity and venture capitalist funding and then trying to make something that works (or disappearing with the money). Now there is a drive that seems to actually work it looks to have taken the wind out of a lot of these magic engine peddlers, all the attention is on the EM drive. It's harder to sell something that doesn't work when there's something that does...
  10. Well, from the AmpYear page... That explains the message, but you'll need to check the logs to find out what caused the explosion.
  11. Is it plugged in? Laptops by default go on a powersave mode when on battery.
  12. Timewarp doesn't use E/C, at all. What addons do you have installed? What is in the output_log.txt?
  13. Yes, when imgurians/redditors are spamming reposted memes it can get quite slow. Try later when the majority of Americans are at work/school or asleep.
  14. Does rotating the view with the mouse, or opening the action menu on a part make the issue worse?
  15. I think that a non-admin is just unable to query those lines, it shouldn't matter too much what the display is. Also, I don't know how you will find the cause of this issue, it may be a setting in your user profile but finding it may be difficult, the only thing I can think of would be to compare the regsitry between the current profile and another. You could follow this guide to "fix" a corrupted profile (essentially by making a new one and copying files over), allowing you to play KSP with full textures and allowing you to do some sluthing in the registy at your leisure.
  16. Thanks guys, it means a lot, really it does, but I'm just another member and player like you, though I was dragged into this moderating stuff, you might be too one day. I hope I manage to set a halfway decent example, though I have my off days just like anyone else, but I think this thread has run its course and it is time it retired. Again, thanks to all of you, and don't forget all the other people who use these forums who deserve your praise. Closing
  17. Hate to give you bad news Raptor831, but AMD dropped support for that and earlier cards, I have one as well though it's in a box now, and I can only use it with the open source driver. X.org saw major updates around 2012 and AMD didn't want to update their old drivers for it, forcing Linux users to downgrade x.org just to keep using their graphics cards, my guess is they hoped to spur people to buy new cards, they late relented and released a 13.1 revision of the legacy driver but it seems to be no longer available, at least it is not on the AMD website. The last version of Ubuntu known to work with HD4000 series cards is 12.04.1 which is supported till 2017. There's no easy answer here, you could try to run KSP on an older version of Ubuntu but there may be other issues with KSP needing later libraries, you could try downgrading x.org, or just stick to the open source driver, or if it was a desktop, replace the card. The treatment of Linux by AMD, Nvidia and others leaves a lot to be desired.
