Is it normal for GPU usage to ramp up all the way to 92-95% when looking at Earth from low orbit (about 300km)? Not a fan of running my GPU at 72*C even though those are still safe temps, but maybe it's just my cooling that is inadequate. Running KSP 1.12.5, modlist and computer specs are as follows:

Orion drive!

Basically, I want to make a new variant for the A7LB suit in Benjee's Historical Suits mod, but with a blue commander stripe. However, when I open the A7LB-c_diff.dds file, it's mostly translucent/transparent/whatever? And I don't think just using the bucket tool on the stripe will work, since it won't be translucent then? And I feel like that'll mess up the texture? I've no clue how to approach this, so a little nudge in the right direction would be nice

Can you use katniss's cape Canaveral with the 2.5 size?
Running KSRSS Reborn with KatnissCapeCanaveral for KSRSS by TruthfulGnome, it seems to be working perfectly fine

This may not be the right place to ask, but this whole mission report has really inspired me to start using SOCK again, with all the work put into it. How do you manage, or rather, do you have any issues with booster separation? I remember the Photon Corp nose cones (not sure about the aft separation motors) having trouble with that, and I'm just wondering if you opted to use clipped in separatrons in their place?
Again, wonderful thread, beautiful images. Everything from the custom mission patches, orbiter textures, to the kit-bashing for maximum detail is just great. I hope to see a lot more pages in here! -
Is there a way to enable/disable the long distance shadow stuff while in-game? I sometimes turn them off during launches with a hefty amount of parts, but I do like the crisp shadows once I'm in space and things have settled down in terms of performance.

So... the Saturn texture was changed from white with black roll lines to solid black?
Or it could be a new variant alongside the Saturn one

just gonna derp in here and say that I'm sure Cobalt will find what is wonky, but it's also affecting the CM - some of the texture options appear to affect only 1/2 of the model.
If you mean the Skylab texture variants, I'm pretty sure that's how they're supposed to look like: only a part of the CM painted, probably the one facing the sun when docked
-
Any tips on making the anti-aliasing look a bit nicer? Think mine's at max in regular KSP settings but I heard about scatterer (or was it TUFX?) borking them. Especially visible when there's thin parts like antenna booms (if that's the right word lol)

Where'd you get the test payload?
It's a 3.75m ore tank from Restock connected with struts! And I slapped on a funky decal from Conformal Decals for the text

Saturn 1C lifting a chonk into LKO as part of a test flight
EDIT: speaking of Saturn 1C, would the singular F-1A engine even need to be insulated? The Saturn V had the F-1's insulated presumably because they were all in close proximity of each other so they got toasty

Having slight issues with the Apollo capsule exploding on reentry (I play on JNSQ, heating is at 100%). I get my periapsis down to around 30-35 km, set COM to offset, kerbals upside down, etc. Although I have to shimmy my way through the whole period, i.e constantly bop the capsule up and down (SAS off) because it was constantly on the verge of overheating (which it does sometimes if I don't press anything). Hopefully these images can help:
ps. Should I be reporting this on Github instead? ApologiesSpoiler
These two images are from different missions, but the trajectories are pretty much the same (don't mind the 44 day long mission lol)
-
Slightly confused; so apollo-saturn-revamp has the new Apollo/Saturn parts, but the master has the new Pioneer parts? So if I want both I should be getting the master and getting Parts/Saturn and Parts/Apollo? Or I could be reading file names wrong
-
Mmm, Apollo parts... and a stuck valve on one of the RCS thrusters! I wonder how that happened!
-
Should I be using a lofted trajectory for the revamped Saturn V? Seems like I always fly past apogee and start tumbling back down with the S-II stage still running. Playing with JNSQ
EDIT: Tried PVG with the settings from the BDB wiki, 170 km and I circularized without S-IVB seperation. I like to keep my launches fairly accurate like the freak I am and I'm sure there's something I'm doing wrong -
How far in do I put the LM inside the petal fairing? It seems if I just attach it to the node without offsetting it down some tips and greebles on the legs clip through the petals (will try to add pictures soon because my game crashed
) Or could I have built the lander wrong?

That's not what the shadow fix fixes.
What changed between 0632 and 0770 is the default quality settings. If you want the same settings as before, go in 0770 in the scatterer KSC menu (small blue globe icon in the corner) and select the very high preset, that will get you the same shadows as 632 had by default.
I've opted for a lower preset by default for performance but everything is still there. Most people can't run 8k shadowmaps and 50km shadows so it doesn't make sense to have it enabled by default.
Having the same issue here, I switch to the very high preset and it's fine, but I turn some of the settings back off (like underwater caustics, and some other stuff I can't check rn) and the shadows are back to being all wierd and funky. Is there a specific setting that affects this? I don't think I can afford running at the very high preset

Either in the Saturn Update, or in a later update to supplement it, are you planning on adding C-8 'Nova' parts?
We have BDB's M-1 engines in development, and we have the Apollo CSM and the S-II. All that is required is the first stage tanks, a larger third stage tank and a landing stage with legs ( I say 'All we need' because it's to show what we already have, I'm not trying to say modding is easy and making these parts will take half an hour, I'm just pointing out how we have some of the pieces already
)
I think the C-8 Nova would be a great addition to BDB!
I believe the creators have no plans for Nova

Is it possible to resize the live preview windows?

Do you think it's possible to make a bulky life support unit backpack as a wearable prop? Something à la the Apollo PLSS, with holes for the regular EVA backpacks thrusters? I can't imagine going on EVA's without this mod now, it's so great!
EDIT: should've read future plans, apologies -
Got two problems (although now that I write I should've posted in the ReDirect and PhotonCorp forum posts so apologies):
1. Using the edited Vector engines, they have the basic stock exhaust/engine effect. Mods listed below, running latest version (1.11.2 if I remember)Spoiler
Spoiler
2. After the 4 segment SRB's from PhotonCorp burn out, decoupling them somehow smashes the nose cones into the ET, blowing it up. The nose cones should push them away from the tank, so I don't know why it happens unless it's because I'm using the standard ReDirect SRB decoupler with "foreign" boosters from another mod. Could also just be the flight profile going wrong.Spoiler
Again, apologies if this isn't the right place to ask. Images in spoilers
) Or could I have built the lander wrong?
