@Iodyne This fixed the issue. Thank you very much. I might have deleted the moho-ablation module as well as the duststorms one, and may have ended up with the bugs you encountered later on. Weird how when I commented out the duststorms module I left the ablation one in there, but probably for the best. For the sake of Google searches: if you find a graphical or visual glitch with Moho, where there is black sky or a black band around the planet, follow the quoted instructions. They will remove the dust or haze surrounding Moho. This is caused by the mod AVP, Astronomer's Visual Pack. It is not caused by EVE, Environmental Visual Enhancements.

Thank you for the suggestion. I can find a glow.cfg, is this one of the files I should delete? I can't find anything called "ablation" though. Can you give me a hand here? No idea what you mean by "modules".

TL;DR: If nothing else, I need help finding a way to remove the dust, or haze, surrounding Moho. I believe this would fix this issue, but cannot for the life of me find out how to do it. More details: At wit's end with visual glitch surrounding Moho. I believe everyone should be experiencing this. Black sky, or noticeable border between black/dark and lighter sky. Screenshots below. The effect can be more or less noticeable depending on how you tweak some settings within TUFX and PlanetShine. I believe what we're looking at has something to do with the dust or haze surrounding Moho. At certain points, it looks like there's some distance culling in the mix, as the effect enlarges or shrinks in a circle as you move the camera around. Could not reproduce on video. The effect diminishes and disappears as one goes down to the planet's surface or up into high orbit. Attempted fixes (using CKAN, so dependencies are managed automagically): Log files and gamedata screenshots (check filenames to see what you're looking at if you're reading this): Please, anyone, if you can at least help me find the effect, shader config, or texture of the haze surrounding moho (in orbit, not on the ground), you have my deepest thanks. I have already spent way too many hours trying to hunt this bug down. If anyone can hop by Moho with AVP installed and confirm whether they observe the issue or not, it would also be immensely helpful. Especially if, in case you don't, you can share which mods you have installed and any out of the ordinary configs. Note that the effect surrounds the planet. If you're looking at it straight down, all is good: Complementary AVP screenshot and why I don't want to live without these mods:

KSC's Engineering Team Awarded Medal for Uncanny Persistence Relay Satellite Launched for Just Under 2.3 million Kerbucks The Kerbal Space Center's engineering department has been ingratiated with the Kontinental Medal for Outstanding Resillience, after having successfully placed in high Kerbin orbit a fully functioning relay satellite, equipped with the new and improved RA-100 Relay Antenna, manufactured by Ionic Symphonic Protonic Electronics, which is replacing the outdated models currently in orbit. The decision to attribute the award to this team stems from the otherworldly difficulties it had to overcome. Indeed, the first through to the eleventh launches were all comprised of an assortment of instances of insufficient fuel to make LKO, or standstills on the launch pad with engines roaring full blast, sometimes lazily tipping over into a fiery doom. The twelfth launch was thought to have been the one, until the fairing was ejected in orbit and no signal reached Kerbin. It was later found that Leroy Kerman, a janitor at the KSC, mistakenly took the RA-100 Antenna for a communal barbecue grill, and had taken to throwing somewhat of a parking lot low-end cuisine party after his shift. Nobody noticed the missing antenna, or the party. But at last, the deed was done. An exhausted Bill Kerman, representative of the engineering team, received the award with the following inspiring speech: "This mission took us forever because we had no way of knowing what was going to happen until the engines were actually ignited and things started happening. However, we are very confident that the AI program under development by the intrakerbinal community, codenamed 'Cybutek', will allow us to run all the necessary calculations for future missions before a rocket so much as leaves the VAB. Let's just hope so, because I'm not going through this ever again."

*sigh*, so long ago and I'm still needing moderator approval =P Well, here it goes! No Intelligent Alien Life After All Fist Fight at the KSC As this reporter is certain the reader knows, the entirety of Kerbin has been ablaze over the last two weeks, when the recently launched Wernher von Kerman Orbital Electromagnetic and Spectroscopic Ultra Magnificating Space Telescope (we all know how folks at the KSC love acronyms, so everyone just calls it the WVKOEMASUMST) started transmitting crystal-clear pictures of an incredible alien civilization extremely similar to our own. Well, it seems the similarities were just too much to accept for one particularly astute scientist at the KSC, who decided to actually analyze the pictures! Truly, the brainpower our space program harnesses knows no bounds! Dr. Sweeny Kerman took it upon himself to further magnify the already extremely high resolution pictures (much higher than expected), and upon discovering what appeared to be a landing strip and launch pad sitting on one of the continents' shores, decided to zoom in on a particularly garish automobile exiting the facility. As the vehicle approached a nearby dwelling, Dr. Kerman discovered, to his dismay, that the dwelling was his own, where himself and his loving wife (at home at the time) reside, and the vehicle belonged to one of his coworkers, Dr. Vilnius Kerman, seen entering the premises. When confronted with the WVKOEMASUMST's bizarre behaviour, one technician in charge of the telescope's guidance system is reported to have asked "Wait, so the mirror points away from us?". And that's how it all happened. We have yet to find life in other worlds. In unrelated news, a fist fight broke out at the KSC shortly after these discoveries, although details on the reason behind it remain unclear.

After 200 hours, I made it to Duna. Before that, most of the time was spent designing a mining, refueling, and shuttling system to get fuel to LKO without spending so much money, so I could have a proper ship go interplanetary, with its own science bay, and rover, and nuclear engines, and everything I could think of. There was also a lot of time wasted on over-engineered stuff, as I had no idea what to expect, and only on the later stages of that career save did I find out about the interplanetary transfer guide thread, and the dV "subway map". I only play stock on my first playthrough of a game, since I want to experience the game as the devs intended it to be. The exception is when I find a game is broken without a feature that a mod offers. In KSP's case, it's KER.

Thank you. Goddamn, I', glad I cam do this without any more spoilers! Now to figure out resource harvesting and aeroplanes! Cheers!

Hi there. Got the game on the Steam sale, first post on these forums, of course it had to be a question, hope you guys can help me out! I'm trying to figure out how I can access more information on celestial bodies without resorting to the wiki or other out-of-game resources. So far, I've gone as far as Minmus, but I'm getting to the point where I want to start exploring other planets. However, without knowing what gravitational forces and atmospheric pressure I'm dealing with, I can't really design an exploration vessel and set its course. I've tried looking for the atmospheric scan results of the bodies I've visited, but I can find no such thing. So, after scouring the internet trying to figure out how I can gather information about my next destination without spoiling the entire adventure, I resort to you good folks! Can anybody tell me if it is possible to figure out a planet's diameter and atmospheric pressure, in order to set a course for scanning and eventual landing, and if so, how I do it? Cheers!
