Sounds like changing the boot file in terminal (or in a script) doesn't actually do anything. //1:/something.ks print "THIS WON'T RUN". //hello.ks print core:bootfilename. set core:bootfilename to "1:/something.ks". //core:bootfilename changes but it has no effect. reboot. What am I doing wrong?

Hey guys I made a quick and dirty PartModule based off (Acutally derived from) CoMShifter for a kOS idea I had, but then thought I'd share it here too . It adds the "CoM Offset Limit" slider to control the descent mode offset so it can be utilized by kOS scripts for reentry maneuvering(Or manually for finer control) . Should I submit a pull request? Looks like this (Notice the reduced AoA):

May kraken bless your poor , poor PC

Made a very simple but useful UI function Code:

Similar to mechjeb's Ascent Navball Guidance I'm trying to set a direction as my target . Works fine (SAS can use it) but the target /Anti target markers won't show up and I don't get the "Target : Some vessel" UI message. What am I doing wrong? private DirectionTarget dirTgt = null; public void newDirectionTarget(string name,Vector vec) { dirTgt = new DirectionTarget(name); updateDirection(vec); } private bool updateDirection(Vector vec) { if (dirTgt != null) { dirTgt.Update(new Vector3d(vec.X, vec.Y, vec.Z)); return true; } else return false; } FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel.targetObject = dirTgt;

Finally! Got it down to <0.05 degrees off target inclination Though I should stop trying to "improve" my script. Literally had I spent the time on actual orbital mechanics (and math) I would have had something much much better. than . this. I like this one . Really shows how massive RO rockets are(Core diameter : 3.3m or so)

Space is hard, Smart and flexible autopilots are much, much harder. Sure people can dig in and try to come up with some logic,code,whatever to cover as many different designs and scenarios as possible. But that ends there. If we want the ultimate flight automation (in KSP, of course) we need something in lines of a self-improving AI. This is why mods like mechjeb don't satisfy my automation needs .(And OP's, I guess) But that's just my opinion

Well kids, this is how a RUD booster ends up

After months of frustration and almost shift+deleting my KSP install i finally DID IT! F9 IS BACK HOME! "This is LZ-1 on countdown net , The falcon has landed!" It's not great, landing radius is awful (>400m) can't do ASDS , can't go FH but hey, It WORKS! ( I mean , consistently) More pics (duh)

Discovered Kerbal Konstructs SLC-1 : Got to be the pole , right?

@Reddy what you've done is AMAZING WORK! Your work hasn't got the recognition it truly deserves . PEGAS can be a life saver for anyone who wants to take RO seriously. I haven't run it yet but I can already see the endless possibilities .I tried doing something way simpler and after months of trying I finally gave up , But thanks to people like you I may still have a chance at enjoying a super-accurate , closer to real life KSP without getting overwhelmed by the sheer complexity of things . Go PEGAS !

A.K.A Life Escape System

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask , but how do I obtain the gas constant (R) for earth or other bodies atmosphere? . Need it to calculate air density in a kOS script . Also I don't have FAR if that matters. Edit : Found some stuff (atmosphereMolarMass =0.0289644) in RSS configs .

If you like spaceflight, you WILL kOS the S*** outta your rockets . It's just a matter of time Idk what to say , Overwhelmingly awesome CSM ! Gonna steal borrow that around-the-shield raceway idea shamelessly

I can't believe it you guys! I FINALLY I DID IT WWEEEEEEEEEEEE Took me +2 months of stress eating , swearing , hating anything with math/programming in it and almost giving up KSP entirely . But now i can sit back , design something fancy , hit launch , get some coffee , come back and BAM ! VEHICLE ORBITAL Phew! Learned a ton yet still , i don't know a dime about the real science behind the stuff . Guys , space IS hard

Based on memory i say it's outdated scatterer , try removing it.

So , I have a falcon 9 replica script that can do a RTLS somewhat well. No problems with boostback,entry burn , hoverslam whatsoever . Though the life of me i can't figure out a way to land within a 50m radius . What logic (+Code example / maths explained if possible) do you guys use to nail those tight ASDS landings? or put this way , tell your rocket to steer itself into a point using engine gimballing and if possible , body lift ?

Tried dipping my toes in krPC ????? Back to kOS . Edit : Yay! fixed my code!

I should say that take two did take two very very awesome multiplayer mods for GTA 5 down yeah it was theirs and all , but the way they did it was a bit out of sport . they claimed those mods were rivaling their business . and sent cease and desist letters to the mod devs . Also i know take two had the right to shut them down and i know GTA Online has in-game purchases , but this attitude for a game like KSP ? Meh Edit : however chances are we'll see a brighter and better future for KSP

You bad me played RSS RO , me love RSS RO me miss RSS RO i wants RSS RO i has brick PC rocket hate brick you bad === Jokes aside , i slapped together an Araine 5 replica in like what , 5 minutes? and as always since i build for aesthetics it became way too big for kerbin . meaning my D.U.M.B engine only recovery turned dumb fo' real after i realized i had some 1 km/s left in orbit .stage tank survived. FAIL What ? what jef.. jeb ? i could have landed the whole thing ? what?

KPOLLO IV LANDS ON THE MOON! (read in 70s commentary voice) Apologies for being two weeks late for today lol So folks , i landed my first manned LEM and returned back safely , accidentally successfully doing a skip re-entry that marks my proudest reentry yet to date. I mean i came down to 60 something kilometers and thought it was time to offset my CoM and i did AND FLEW BACK TO 70 KM still gaining vertical speed . chances were if i didn't roll 180 degrees again i would skip off the atmosphere I have some +600 screenshots from this mission only . Meaning there should be thousands of photos from the program (Kpollo I - II - III- III-A - Simulations) but I'm laaaazzzzy so just picked a few : And as i promised , here's the lunar plaque ! @sal_vager Inscription : Kpollo IV honours Sal_vager Developer , moderator , explorer Bring us earth rocks ! Jeb Good luck and godspeed. Bill Answer our call sometime ! Bob

I DID IT! IDIDTIDIDITIDIDTIDIDIT! I DIID IT ! I LANDED THE LEM ON THE MOON! i should note that this is my second successful landing ever on the moon , all unmanned. first one was a tiny probe (say a surveyor mix ) and no return nor manned missions were envisioned at the time , that was like some months ago. And with this , if ALL goes really well , my next landing will be MANNED! my first manned mission to the moon! and it'll carry a plaque of honour just for sal

You will NOT reuse your rocket today!

Took some time to setup some cameras on my crew rocket Its sort of a Constellation / SLS / Apollo Frankenstein rocket for hauling Return Command Service Module to LEO
