Today, second unmanned mission arrived to moho. It's currently relaeasing a small lander, packed inside its hull to protect it from the journey, thanks to deployable robotic panels. The lander tried to accomplish its purpose, and did manage ! Side panel deploying to reveal the scanning equipment, to see what moho has to offer ! Also, an old probe did a Deep Space Maneuver to try get an encounter with Jot (inner solar system, QuackPack mod) Also I continued regularly servicing Starlbab station with our new SSTO, while taking some rich space tourists on the ride as well !

Sure ! in what sense ? Basically : Jet sounds Updated edits stock engines %EFFECTS, and add its own sounds to it/etc. But restock waterfall expansion just deletes all effects, and create its own sound effects without particles. (maybe stock waterfall effects too, you'd have to check, but I guess YES). So, to my understanging JSU patches gets simply scrapped by RWE/SWE, thus leading to have their sounds ingame instead. I have no idea ! But imho, jet sounds updated is anyway superior to anything out there The jet sounds of restock waterfall expansion/SWE are awfull that's for sure (compared to JSU), way too loud, lesser quality, compressed, much more basic sound patterns, etc

Hi, thanks for your work on this mod ! It seems like your mod is overwriting Jet Sounds mod, since you delete the EFFECTS node for waterfall's, while jet sounds is editing stock engine effects... Do you think a compatibility patch could be considered ? I also asked in jet sounds thread, since I'm not sure on which side it would be easier to do... Peace

I'm sorry to bother you again.... but It popped again ^^ [WRN 02:06:05.823] [Toolbar] [WARN] [! MISSING FILE !]: "C:\Games\KSP\KSP_kpsie\GameData/" [ERR 02:06:05.824] [Toolbar] [ERROR] button texture not found: notes/Textures/icon_on_24 and the Notes toolbar icon turns into a purple square. At least I can access the mod, which is nice, it's a few log spam tho each time I click on the icon... (of course the texture IS there, I double checked again) Cheers

Hi, it seems like Waterfall (stock waterfall effect / restock waterfall expansion) is overwriting this mod with its own configs, which is kinda sad since their sounds are horrible (I guess they use stock sounds), Could a compatibility patch be considered ? Peace

Glorious Looking forward to see how it all began ! And for you other Kerbals out there, and without wanting to spoil you, I can guarantee that there is a high degree of awesomeness to come ! Cheers

that did fix it ! Thanks for your help

Ok it's a weird one : moved KSP instance to C/games/KSP/ launched directly from exectuable. First time : same errors, toolbar is complaining, and also the texture of Notes is pink, like above. After relaunching the game later, now the "Notes" mod icon is simply gone from both blizzy's and stock toolbar (fiddling with toolbar control does nothing), so I can't even access the mod and use it.... Is there a chance that I'd need to delete some cache files/configs files created by some mods ? since I moved the instance location, I'd guess It could have messed them up.... KSP log just in case : https://www.dropbox.com/s/ftic9lit09rsy3r/KSP.log?dl=0 thanks

First supply run to Starlab with our new and first SSTO. It's very low tech, uses 2 panthers and 4 early methalox engines. So it's quite uncomfortable to fly, since the Dv margins are SO small ^^ Made also a version with only a passanger crew cabin instead of the docking adapter, to carry around those rich space tourists kerbals, that have an urge to empty their pockets in our space program. Amusingly, when I was testing a new launch vehicle, well, it kaboomed, and one of its engines landed, and really didn't want to stop burning..... some.. void ? Also without moving. So at least it's not cheating, he keeps physics reasonable. and lastly, my jool exploration mission is almost ready to launch ! Do you see how rich I am, and how much this thing costs ? Do you start to see the link between this and me desperately trying to make a very low tech reusable space plane to save every last bit of cash? haha

@JadeOfMaar hi again, sorry last question I promise haha What is the default value for those ? Just so I know by how much I'm actually influencing ressources chance compared to default. I'm also confused on why it needs to be run "BEFORE[RationalResources]", If I had something, I'd have surely tried to run it AFTER, but again I'm new to your mod structuration so... Thanks

Hi, do you know if wings welded together keep accurate drag/lift ? Thanks !

That's a neat challenge idea ! well done And, I just tought about something... I actually think Bradley might have just accidentally and retroactively beated you and all others possible challengers, without knowing about the challenge... His crafts are very, very cheap... compared to what they do, since he goes very, very far...... Am I'm pretty sure the first 2 launches are within the 100k funds range.. Cheers

Thanks for your reply, perfect ! Ok, so you actually didn't choose in which biomes certain ressources are spawning/is it done randomly ? Because fort instance you often have water assigned to poles, which makes sense, but If I apply the first patch, do I have the risk, for instance, to not have water anymore at the poles ? Also I assume the 0.4 value is linear, correct ? I'm trying to unrderstand it a bit more all this since I'm not familiar with it : ) thank you edit : looked through your configs and indeed I think it doesn't, since you seem to define ressource distribution tags, and apply them to planets. But I still don't get how is the biome ressource repartition handled within those tags...

Hi, I'm having this bug rn, which weirdly only seem to happen in the Jool system (tho I haven't tested all planets). As you can see in the video below, the vessel seems to be teleported instantly when I timewarp... Bad thing is that it retains this changed position, which is very bad for gameplay.. ksp.log : https://www.dropbox.com/s/ftic9lit09rsy3r/KSP.log?dl=0 Video of the Bug : Thanks a lot for your help ! Peace

Hi ! I'm currently running a career with a very high focus on ISRU chains, I'm using KSPIE, and added "self imposed" rules, to not be able to launch "complicated" ressources from KSC, but rather having to ISRU them in the first place, and use them in Situ, or ship them back to Kerbin, where they're stored in a "warehouse" (my notepad lol) and thus can be used in craft newly construced from the VAB/SPH... I started a few testing things already, but I'd like the ressources to be even rarer in 2 ways : - most importantly : I'd like each ressources to be less available in a given amount of biomes : eg. for the Mun, make urananite very rare and restricted to very few biomes only, same for other stuff. I like the idea of needing to have mutliple mining facilites at the sweet spots , to actually require me to go more all around the planet, and thus increase the need for surface logistics, to attain bases self- sufficiency for instance/manufacturing certain ressources, and open/expand interesting gameplay loops. - global availabilty : also I'd simply just like all ressources to be even in lesser quantity than they are currently. Can those 2 goals be achieved for an ongoing save, via some patching maybe ? If so, could you provide some little guidance to orient me in the right direction, that'd be much apreciated ! Thanks for your help ! Peace

Either directly from KSP_x64.exe, or its shortcut I created. Does that actually matter ? EDIT @linuxgurugamer : oh, and I just tought about something : Does the location of the KSP instance actually matters ? Mine is iirc in special windows folder (documents), and I know from experience certain games don't like that in regards to modding, and prefer to be located in a "safe" location (eg. C\Games\KSP) where less jankyness happens. But until now I never tought about this for KSP... Maybe that could be it ?

Hi ! Oh yes It got added finally, nice

Hi @linuxgurugamer, I've got this issue that has risen a few times, only with certain mods (here it's "Notes"), Toolbar is complaining about the texture not being found, whereas it's actually there, in the mod folder. (had also the issue, IIRC, with persistent rotation (not sure) and with science alter re-alerted (sure about that, only when the flask is animated). In this instance, the icon for Notes mod even turned purple, which didn't happen in the 2 above cases. KSP.log : https://www.dropbox.com/s/ftic9lit09rsy3r/KSP.log?dl=0 Thank you Peace

Today, I worked on making a reusable first booster stage, to improve on funds efficiency ! It use expensive methalox engines, but if we don't smash that thing (just as below), it should be fine ! "Any landing you can walk of is a g...." ...I just hope none of the R&D guys where having a coffee on the rooftop when it landed I also started to think and desgin my first probe mission to Jool for this career. This time, I'd like to try something different, and rather than sending multiple probes with several launches, or one monstruous one that could land everywhere, I'd like to try making a spaceship, kinda in the same way as manned missions, with a mothership (big tanks/engines/main antenna), that would navigate inside the Jool system, and release several landers and orbiters (much smaller, small antennas, etc) ! This would be the orbiter, with scanning equipment, with the goal of scanning and doing polar orbit science on Tylo and Laythe. There would be 2 of them attached to the mothership (or one only, if it has enough Dv to map and transfer between the 2 moons) : I'm very happy with the design and the final shape it ended up with ! When folded, for launch configuration : And here the Jool/Laythian lander (exploded view) : Still need to make the micro landers for the other moons, and actually design the mothership ^^ It will probably involve multiple launches and some LKO assembly ! Cheers

Hi, I'm trying to make a custom fairing part, for my personal use, using stock fairings textures, but a custom base. I took a dummy 1.25m part here to work with, and copied over revelant parts of the cfg from the stock 1.25m fairing, and changing its attach nodes to match it. So far so good. BUT, the actual fairing shell starts a bit above the base, leaving an undesired gap... Do you know at which part should I look ? I'm pretty sure it's defined (I hope) in the ModuleProceduralFairing section, but can't figure out which one... Thanks a lot ! Peace update : was indeed in this section of the part module, defined iirc by "pivot = 0,0.17,0"

Hi, Would it be possible to remove the B9partswitch surface variants, via some patch, to only keep the insulated ones, thus allowing to delete the white/metal variant .dds files and save on RAM usage ? I've tried editing manually for an hour now, but didn't come up with something that worked. And I'm not sure it's even possible ^^ If by the Kraken god it is, could you provide me some little guidance on how to achieve this ? Thanks a lot for your help Peace

Hi again Question : Upon investigating my issue above (see update below), I noticed this regarding scatterer : - when in the beginning range of scatterer effect, in flight scene, so eg. for Duna, the atmo "layer" seems to be very thin, causing those visuals : - as you get closer, this eventually is not visible anymore, since your angle relative to the surface is shallower : - It kinda takes of the immersion, since when you switched from scatterer scaled to local, there's a "slight" haha switch in visuals ^^ - this is a test install with scatterer and spectra installed from CKAN - How could it be improved, should I increase the layer thickness in your scatterer configs ? IIRC yours is slightly thiner than default scatterer one, I think this might be the cause, as it interacts weirdly with the clouds textures... - Update regarding above issue : I tried many things... But once I didn't expect, is I tried replacing EVE and scatterer with the patreon test branch of Raymarched Volumetrics (but without the StockVolumetricClouds folder), and the Nullref is gone..! Who knows what happens Thanks in advance for your help ! Peace

Hi, Is this still useful in 1.12 ? I was being told that garbage collection had been improved in KSP, also that heap padder did apprently increased RAM usage, by allocating more RAM to KSP... I'm running a laptop, with rtx3060 6gb vram, 32gb RAM, i7-12700H 2.70 GHz So I'm wondering if I really need it... Like, the main symptom giving incentive to use this would be having freezes right ? Generally speaking, would it increase performances ? Thanks for your help peace

After some time adjusting ongoing mission gravity assists for Ke-Eve-Moho, my kerbal brain needed a well desereved plane break : Jeb is indeed experimenting a new way interesting way of flying He looks rather stoical, considering his situation With this flight, I did complete a contract asking us to fly under the 2 bridges of the lvl3 R&D center, but I was so concentrated not blowing Jeb in 36 pieces that I forgot to take screenshots : / well he survived ! After, I designed a folding lander/glider for Eve and tested it on Kerbin ! Here's the video, it flies ver well, even with no SAS and minimal control input ! This will be attached inside a 1.25m fairing, with a heatshield, itself attached to an orbiter.Upon entering Eve SOI, the reentry module will detach from the orbiter, and perform a direct Eve entry from its hyperbolic trajectory. Once passed the heat and fire things, the glider will detach and unfold its wings. It can also do incremental deploy, to control wing span and thus lift/drag. Sweet goal would be to aim at a spot with a lot of biomes, and glide as long as possible ! I tested this on Eve and could achieve a landing at 7 m/s, so no landing gear needed ^^ And water or land are both fine : ) For comms, it uses a standard C 16-S, and will talk to the orbiter which has the bigger relay antenna. It's in 0.625m size (using tweakscale), and weights ~500 kg ! Cheers

Oh yeah missed that one ! But.... ^^ it is enabled for me ( as well as KAC integration), but still no alarms are set in KAC for me. That's not a big deal tho : )
