This might be related to the random deletes...but I have had all of my alarms simply disappear, when changing vessels. I wasn't deleting anything. I had gone to the tracking station to rename a vessel (not one with any alarms set, yet). When I go back to control that vessel, all of the alarms for all other vessels were gone. Note this could still be related to the rename in some way, as a maneuver node I had set on the vessel, before going to the tracking station, was there...but not really...I can see the maneuver node in the map view, but all of the delta-V values have been set to 0, I can no longer edit them, and the maneuver node controller says there are no nodes.

Any possibility the vessel naming issues will be getting resolved in 0.2.2? Example, I launch two vessels, using the same built ship, lets call them DCN1-16 and DCN1-17. Each carries 3 comms sats for two rings around Duna. DCN1-17 arrives first. I get it into a resonant orbit for deployment. I'm using the alarm clock. I've previously set an alarm for DCN1-16's SOI change when it arrives at Duna. I stage the first comms sat on DCN1-17. I go to set an alarm for the comm sat (which _should_ be something like DCN1-17-A) and I see an alarm for DCN1-17. Checking my other alarm, DCN-16 is now also named DCN1-17, so I have three vessels, around, or nearing Duna, all named DCN1-17, and I have no way to rename them, (I could probably fix it in the save file), but I'd think that would be a fairly easy thing to fix...at least assuming you're programming in an object oriented language.

I am either missing something or found a bug...I just installed the latest version of the mod. I wanted to set up a resonant orbit to deploy some comms sats at Duna. I set the number of sats to deploy and the number of orbits. I click on the create button, and bam, I get a node...but, there is no dV shown in the node. Just for completeness, the current vessel is currently in a stable circular orbit, 1100km AP, 1098km PE. The system does report that I need to increase my AP to 1700. Since the maneuver node was set, I tried using the maneuver node tool (the mod) and setting the AP to 1700km, but the orientation is backward...when I tried to do the burn, my PE decreased, and the AP stayed the same. In addition to Flight plan I have these mods installed: Alarm Clock (AlarmClock 1.2.1) BepInEx (BepInEx 1:1.9.2) Cheats Menu (CheatsMenu 1.2.0) Commlines (Commlines 1.1.0) Community Fixes (CommunityFixes 0.12.0) Community Resources (CommunityResources 0.2.2) Docking Alignment Display (DockingAlignmentDisplay 0.4.3) Hide Orbits (HideOrbits 0.5.0) I Wish They Made UI Customizable (IWishTheyMadeUICustomizable 0.3.2) K2-D2 (K2D2 v0.12.3) Kerbal Life Hacks (KerbalLifeHacks 1.2.1) Kerbal Notebook (KerbalNotebook 0.1.0) Kerbonaut Manager (KerbonautManager 0.2.3) Maneuver Node Controller (ManeuverNodeController 1.2.0) MapView Focus and Targeting (MapViewFocusTargeting 1.0.1) Micro Engineer (MicroEngineer 1.7.1) Node Manager (NodeManager 0.7.3) Orbital Survey (OrbitalSurvey 0.9.1) Patch Manager (PatchManager 0.11.0) Premonition For SpaceWarp (PremonitionForSpaceWarp 0.2.0) Probably Askew (ProbablyAskew 0.2.0) Shadow Utility LIB (ShadowUtilityLIB 0.0.9) SpaceWarp (SpaceWarp 1.9.2) The Nuclear Option (TheNuclearOption 0.3.1) UITK for KSP 2 (UITKforKSP2 2.4.2) and I am running on the latest game version.

I see that the wrist control issue on the magnetic manipulator hasn't ever been resolved. Is this mod still supported, or should I uninstall it?

Something broke this mod. It was working, now I still get the edit tanks button, but the gui never comes up. I _think_ is it related to b9 part switch, which is required by BDB. I originally installed this mod from CKAN, and as I said it _was_ working just fine. I tried uninstalling, and verified that it did uninstall, although it did leave a couple of files behind (which I then moved to a different location, in case I needed them back). I checked and the 'edit tanks' button was gone. I tried downloading from git hub and installing manually. I get the 'edit tanks' button, but again, when I click on it, I don't get any gui. I did try to figure out what to do with the 'intrusive patches' part, but the stuff on github doesn't tell you how to install it. The thing that bugs me the most is that I only want like two of the parts from BDB, and neither of them are parts that would be affected by this (perfectron and lateraltron)...if I could get just those two parts I wouldn't need BDB, so wouldn't need B9.

I'm not so sure the latest docking port rotation fixes actually worked. I set up a very simple walker. In the SPH, when I run the KAL controller sequence, everything works fine. Ports are set with rotation lock off, and the legs swing as expected, as do the piston extensions and retracts. I launch the vessel and the vertical leg motion still works fine (using pistons) but the docking ports barely move at all. I've tried cheating the vessel to a lower gravity environment and the legs still do not swing (the ports do not rotate). I revert to the SPH and look at the ports again, and they are all marked as rotation locked...and I did make sure to save the vessel before launch, and I am 100% certain that the ports were set to have rotation locking OFF.

MechJeb, smart RCS, zero relative velocity?

I don't know if it is exactly what you are looking for, but there is this:

Isn't there also another mod called something like "MechJeb For All"?

I've just figured out an issue that seems to be related to MJ. If you have autostage turned on using the Utilities tool, if you dock with a station, docking seems to trigger staging, causing various decouplers to fire. Example, I have a small fuel depot in orbit of Minmus. It's basically a probe core, a reaction wheel, some fuel tanks, some monoprop tanks, some batteries, solar panels and 3 jr docking ports. I have a second identical craft that docked to it just fine. The I sent a lander, and it docked fine. Then I sent a crew ship. That also docked fine. Transferred the crew to the lander, landed, got some science, lifted off, rendezvous with the fuel depot. Get the ports aligned, and move in for docking...keeping things very slow...like 0.1 m/s. As soon as the port makes contact, two decouplers fired. One attaching the lowest tank on the second fuel ship, and the really bad one was the decoupler between the crew ship command module heat shield and everything below that! I reloaded from S.A.V.E to before the decoupler incident, and repeated the sequence, but added a quicksave only a few meters from docking. Docked and it fired. Loaded from the quicksave, and disabled autostaging in MechJeb, dock, and no decouplers fired. So, somewhere in the auto stage code, docking causes an auto stage event.

It took several hours, but I figured it out...MechJeb was set to auto stage, and it seems that docking causes it to trigger.

I had this issue some time last year, and IIRC, I had to do a full reinstall and start again. It's back! I've got a minimal space station (really just a probe core, some LFO and monoprop fuel tanks, some batteries and a couple of docking ports). I docked a second identical vessel, and everything is fine. Then I brought a lander and docked it. So far everything is still OK. I flew a crew out and docked. Everything is still fine. Crew transferred to the lander. Lander goes down to the surface (Minmus in this case) gets a bunch of science, gets back into orbit, rendezvous with the station, and I go in to dock. Everything is aligned, I move in slowly (less than .25m/s) and as soon as the lander makes contact with the station, two decouplers fired! One for an empty fuel tank, which was no big deal, the second one was the decoupler between the command pod heat shield and everything below it! Recently I had another, unrelated issue, that caused me to try a new full install of the last version of KSP, along with the latest Breaking Ground and Making History DLCs, and a bunch of mods (other than Restock, Restock+, and Restock Extra -Rigid Legs, which are supposed to only reskin some parts, I don't think I've added any parts).

This was a hard crash...meaning I could start the task manager, but I couldn't even kill any processes from the task manager, so I had to power cycle my PC. After leaving the system powered down for about 5 minutes, I started it up, and then started KSP. I went into the VAB to work on what I had been working on, but when I went to load the ship, it was missing! OK, maybe that one didn't get saved during the crash...I was in the process of moving from the VAB to the launch pad, so I checked and the VAB is reporting there are no ships at all...not crewed, not uncrewed...nothing! I left the VAB and went into the Tracking station to make sure if the things on orbit were still there. I selected my newest Minmus station and clicked on 'Fly'...the scene loaded just fine and my station is in place and everything seems to be fine. I went back to the Space Center and back into the VAB. Still no vessels! I went back to the main menu and tried a restore from an older S.A.V.E...about an hour before the crash, loaded the restored game, went into the VAB...still no ships at all! I again exited the game, and cd'd to the KSP install directory and I do find all of my ships physically in the right locations...craft and loadmeta files are all there. Is there some way to rebuild the VAB database of vessels/subassemblies etc from the files that exist in the game directories? Note I checked the SPH and those vessels are fine.

Something has changed. I'm not sure what. I was checking CKAN for mod updates, and I got a message that a huge list of mods had meta data updates and it asked me if I wanted to re-install them, so I did. Since then, ever ship I've built (and some that were there before and fine) has this uncontrollable spin, and the really odd part is it seems to come and go! What I mean by that last statement is, it seems to be related to targetting or maneuver nodes...I can get the ship to stop spinning, _some of the time_ if I set up a new maneuver node, or if I click it into warp for a second, then back out...the ship will usually start to spin again, but if it is slow enough, and I keep my eyes on how fast I let it get, I can stop it, or slow it enough to make the next maneuver. However, it isn't just in one direction...it may spin clockwise, it may spin counterclockwise. At first I thought it was competing probe cores, but all of my probe cores are set to hibernate, except the one that is currently operating the craft. It seems to happen more often on ascent/circularization, then goes away for one stage, but then comes back when I stage next. I'm thinking about doing a complete uninstall and reinstall of the game, then the expansion packs, and finally the dozens of mods I have installed and seeing if that fixes it. I've had other oddities over the years, that a complete, fresh install seemed to fix it.
