speaks for itself

Can't really tell but based on my personal experience with a DDR3 8GB - 4th gen i7 -960m (not a low end but still) KSP is generally slower on laptops especially when loading (takes around 15 min to load RSS RO 1.1.2 on mine ) And i'm speaking of 960m. I tried running on intel graphics and barely had 10fps on menu. again its all guesstimate but i doubt you can get 30 fps form a heavily modded install and ... RSS RO is quite a mod so don't expect 30 or even 24.

Would you mind sharing how ? (Could be nice to add to FASA . I love FASA. FASA FASA) ----- Today? Today was a busy day! , ehm . May i present to you my Working 1.2.2 RSS RO install! Don't be hyped so much . took a day to grab everything since everything is "Pre-release" or just patched here and there. MM duct taping and all

RSSVE RC3 ,scatterer v0.300 I get this around 90 to 160~200. Gets worse with zooming out (alt + Scrolling. "fish eyeing"?) and at ~100KM clouds flicker mildly Thanks for developing and maintaining this great mod !

Yup, a few times.

How accurate is the aero model without FAR ? i'm running 1.2.2 prerelease and i sorta feel getting past mach 1 is quite harder (feature?)

I second this . i was trying to pile up a 1.2.2 RO install and it would freeze up on PP SRB configs (PP version : 1.2.8) replaced the dll = problem solved

I know its not the place but , Man you're awesome ! FMRS (HUGE YAY FOR THIS) , State Funding , Hullcam A dozen more mods ,I literally wouldn't play ksp anymore without them

Came by to say thank you for developing this great mod! Makes my ksp missions much more slick looking ! And a little request : It'd be super awesome if you could add tweakscale support for parts like engines and decouplers and fuel tanks and stuff . they look so good but many times i have to drop them just because they don't fit in place (Like a separation being motor too large/small )

Awesome!

No?

Can't put it in words , dammit this is SO Milestone for KSP!! Fantastic job!

@Nimrod I was playing around with Juno jet engine and i found this PROPELLANT { name = IntakeAir ignoreForIsp = True //THIS ratio = 22 } Haven't tested it though ---------------------------------------------- Can i use characters like \n in the description property? (Like description=line1 \n line2)

So i'm doing some modifications to the mk1 pod and again i've run into some problems @mass+=0.210 // Instead of adding 210 kg to the part's mass i got 290 kg in editor! isn't += supposed to be like var=var+value ? Also += doesn't work with title and name, again instead of appending my string it replaces the original value for example somepart{ name=foo title= foo example part } @PART[somepart] { @name+=test @title+=improved } //both replace originals instead of appending , why?

Finally! I plummet kerbals when testing simulating new vehicles and of course ,LES systems . then I revert to VAB/SPH and call it a day soooooo.... ehm I don't often kill my kerbals And also I try to minimize my use of cheaty reaction wheels (or MM patch them to use monoprop)

Nice mod you just made there ! , actually i was kinda trying to add an integrated ablative heatshield to the mk1 pod (Obviously because stock shields are ugly!) and it didn't work at as planned . what i did was that i just added ModuleAblator from the 1.25 heatshield and added a Ablator resource to the pod. it looked ok (ablator Resource was there and it was depleting) however it seemed like it didn't dissipate any heat away and my pod just heated up as if there wasn't a heatshield in first place . is that reentryConductivity or something ?

I second this , maybe even a memorial somewhere? Like a chrome shuttle named Space Shuttle Glenn near the old mk1pod memorial.

Thanks! Changing Module to MODULE did the trick . So does that mean MM is case sensitive ? Also what happens if I omit '@' from :HAS[@MODULE[x]]? Thanks for your reply! Though from what I've seen I believe that adding MechJebLocalSettings is necessary when you want to impose carrer tech limits

Made That

So i wrote a config to make MechJeb available for all Command parts (Yes i'm aware of MechJeb 2 embedded and mine is just for practice ) and i can't seem to figure why it doesn't work @PART[*]:HAS[@Module[ModuleCommand],!Module[MechJebCore]]:FINAL { MODULE { name = MechJebCore } } Have tried both putting it directly inside my main mod directory "GameData\AstroK" and also in a subdirectory "GameData\AstroK\Tweaks\Mechjeb2Tweaks" No luck either place , Looked into Mechjeb 2 embedded .cfg and didn't find anything different . Odd

I really love your story , you know what ? my only space station , The skyGate has modules both launched and planned named after Forgotten Space Program characters Thomlock : life support module D: complete Mcfred (First part launched) : Station core , resource storage , aka jack of all trades module Agake : Science module . Planned Gletrix ; currently don't remember , actually this one's also planned . and i'm launching anything BUT a station module these days

Thanks for replays Y'all ! i wanted to change the name lately myself how about say "The Voyage " ? Guys , chapter two isn't finished , imean it was finished , before losing control of my own mission report . Its just getting Moar and Moar lines . hope i'll be able to finish it somewhere :))) ======================================================================================================================================================================== Chapter two HomeLess Milgard : "Ense , ok ok , how tricky this thing is !

Gene : Milgard was constantly whining about the stability . Sam , was it milgard's ? Sam [Training officer , Test pilot , Head of SimTeam ] : i highly doubt it sir , we covered and practiced all such scenarios , Sam [Clears throat] : Extensively Gene : Neil ? Neil [suprised] : Wh .. What , Yes sir ? Gene : Those being said , do you have a clue on why the lander was that unstable ? Neil [Worried] : No...No...Yes , Nn .. No .....i don't know . Gene :Al...Right then . I'm gonna grab a coffee .you guys work it out now cause I want some sense on this ,you have an hour [kerbals start chattering , mostly surprised,worried ] Gene : 59 Minutes!

Gene : you know what ? WE ARE GOING TO BE HOMELESS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One week Later KSA EC (Kerbin space agency , Endeavour continent) HQ [After hours of meetings with the people involved] Alderson Kerman [Director of KSA EC] : Mr.Gene , you are confusing me . what do you mean of 'partial failure complete success failure but nevermind snacks are cool failure we are sorry we can fix this it was krakene's fault don't fire us please please please ' ? Alderson : and by the way , it's kraken NOT krakene . Gene : Yes..Y ..Y..es ss..s..sure it it it isss.... Alderson : I've heared enough . you may go now [Gene goes for the door] [Stops and turns back] Gene :Sir , Are we ? Alderson : kraken YES W ehm [clears throat] you are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day KSC Guard : Sir , you need to swipe your ID Kard.... [Gene bumps into the gate] Gene : Ouch.... I guess so .. [smiles] a staff kerb : Mr.Gene ? we have a skygate. [gene interrupts] Gene : Gather everyone ! , mission control , 2 minutes !

Thomas : [opening his snack] : ok , sure . Emm want some snacks ? Sam : No thanks doc . I'm on a diet so no extra kalories , y'know [Both chuckle] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas and Sam , walking random ways at mission control Sam : You said Milgard and pasei are kinda injured , am i right ? Thomas : keep it between us , pasei's gone crazy, milgard's paralyzed.. Sam : Oh boy, Thomas : and crazy . Thomas: He kind of said something about some "gas" thing in his suit ,pasei also mentioned it Sam : interesting , hmm I remember Neil saying something 'bout suits , eh Mind if i tell him? Thomas : Should i repeat the " keep it between us" thing? Sam : sorry ! , em btw having said those I think it would be good if we looked for a new , experienced crew , y'know Thomas : So who's on the list ? Sam : remember skyGate ? From what i preserve , the mission is likely be handed over , or even turned down for budget reasons So i thought maybe we could Thomas : wait , you want 'Jeb' to have a seat in our already unreliable prototype slash blueprint imaginary ship ? Sam : No! nononono , that wasn't my point , see there are kerbals other than jeb up there. I'm talking about experienced kerbonauts like crisly kerman , and perhaps bill . Yes he's jeb's buddy , been stranded in a lander can on mun for god knows how long after a disaster much worse than DLM Also , crisly was the one to rescue them , I mean val and bill frim that can , she also has enormous experience both in spacewalks and emergencies , remember when she recovered the dead thomlock (yep ! named it after thomlock . One of my characters in Forgotten space program . :D) module and docked it back to skyGate ? Or when she chased some lost parts at 68Km ? No one else would do that ! Thomas : Fair enough! [ Spots Jason walking by] Jay ! Hey kerb (man) ! Jam : Oh hey guys , what's up ? Sam : Listen jay , I know you guys are busy doing the voyager thing but it's important .It's skygate Jason : I'm listening Thomas : Pasei and Milgard won't be ready anytime soon, so we want skygate's crew can you do it? Jason : Those kerbs have been there for long enough , i think so. Thomas and Sam : Great ! Thomas : emmmmmm... they're fine! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission control 3 days later , Gene is so late to work Gene : [Puts his rain coat on jay's desk] : Hey jay! Jason : Hey! quite a rainy day today huh ? Gene : How do you know genius ? [Giggles] Jason : see [ shows some flooded papers] not so hard Gene [awkwardly grabs the coat , slowly walking away] : Oh I see, that wasn't some important stuff right ? Jason : Gene , may i ask you something ? Gene : Yep ? Jason : I shouldn't have to explain though . After all the things happened this week I think its wiser to get our skyGate crew back home huh ? Gene : Alright ! But just pick a few of the guys you need and hide em . Jason : What ? [Gene sneaks away] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- few minutes later Gene [Holding a giant speaker] : 3..2..1 Pfff testing ........ Jason [looking at Thomas] : He's high on something huh? Thomas : Maybe low? Gene : To everyone's surprise! [clears throat] We are going to Duna , [Kerbals "Owwwww" of disappointment" ] Gene : I want a ship , NEXT WEEK Kerbals : Noooooo...... Gene : Do whatever , violate kopyLeft lefts , steal patents , sneak into government facilities , what the kraken ever you do , JUST DO IT! Gene : 6 Days and 5 hours and 59 minutes , Hurry up!

Videos , took a while , though . Edit (copy pasting embed link didn't work) :

Unexpected Reentry it was 2 O clock in the morning . I had the second "Chapter " written and ready . but first i needed to complete "The voyager" so that i could write chapters all the way to T minus 20 Days . I thought it was going to be just a routine launch . i had tested my LV and tugs couple of times and had the experience of docking HM with CLM so I set everything up and clicked "Launch" <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/OdwLi"><a href="//imgur.com/OdwLi">The voyager propulsion module</a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script> propulsion module http://imgur.com/a/OdwLi Even my CommSats were in harmony <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/NfMyT"><a href="//imgur.com/NfMyT">PM launch one</a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script> can't figure this whole embedding thing launch : http://imgur.com/a/NfMyT Silly me thought it would be a good idea to test mechjeb's Launch to rendezvous function on this dangerous payload so i surrendered my rocket to mechjeb for the "magic" rendezvous only to see myself so close to a 90km apogee (was planning for 110) at a very scary trajectory back to dear kerbin . disengaged autopilot cursing myself both for using mechjeb's autopilot and not figuring the extra weight of PM for LV config So then i desperately burnt to achieve orbit OR at least get some high atmo trajectory . things were starting to look up as the acceleration was increasing but at the expense of .FLAMEOUT . Sounds like it's not my day separated the upperstage and burnt my tug to "keep missing" the lower atmsophere while being "cooked" , it was so stressful as i constantly had to "burst" for keeping preoapsis above 40km and save a "drop" of my fuel for the apogee burn. Can't believe how i made it through See? That's why i love ksp . you plan your every single step , and still witness the impossible happen . I may later upload the videos cause man all the fun is there Chapter 2 is done! *hype* *hype*

I LOVE this ! Much effort put into the posts Also is that RealismOverhaul ? i thought it needed RSS to work . (i'm trying to make Realplume work with my non Rss ksp) Again i have to say . its very awesome KOCMOC , united kerbal states those logos are very well done ! Nice job.
