    re: SoyuzV2 hot staging, here's how it's working for me ... numbers showing for comparison. Does get a heat bar for a moment, but no booms.

    yeah that's the exact reason I edit all the launch sites in KSRSS, especially the historical ones. Using MLP to build as historical as possible will often violate the footprint in the default values, so I've edited most of mine to have no size limits.
  3. OrbitalManeuvers
    If it's not asking too much, I know myself and I'm sure other people would be interested in your approach - if you had some details you could share about what you changed or what info you followed to know what to change, that would be an appreciated contribution

    There's this, too: https://github.com/kochiBR/katniss-baikonour-for-KSRSS

    Those parameters are editable via the KK editor UI. If you've never used it I'm not sure I can type out a full tutorial here, but let's try the major plot points: in the flight scene press Ctrl+K. find the launch pad in the local instances. click it and in the editor click Edit Launchsite. edit the obviously named values. use 0 for no limit. press save everywhere you can as you close windows. revert to vab. Idk whether that's all you have to do, or if you also need to close/reopen the launchsite with the KK button in the VAB. it might even get automatically closed when you edit it. to be safe, use the KK button in the VAB and find the launch site and close/reopen it. hope that helps!

    This is awesome, thanks for the updates! I seem to have a new nit, though. I'm in sync with Github and finding that the pipe sliders aren't doing anything on the Atlas stand. Here the sliders are moved but the pipes are still in their default position. Just me?
  7. OrbitalManeuvers
    I was able to reproduce this too. If I'm correct about the cause, there's not really anything you can do without a fix from the authors. I created a Github issue here: https://github.com/TundraMods/Kerbal-Reusability-Expansion/issues/5

    Not sure about "should" but Oranges + PhotonCorp is a common combo. Personally, since I don't do historical shuttle stuff, I use Oranges + srb's from ACK since I have ACK anyway.
  9. OrbitalManeuvers
    OK you lost me on copying stuff around. I don't recommend any of that Just install KSRSS Reborn + Eve + Scatterer and nothing else and you'll have a working KSRSS install. Here's what a minimal install looks like:

    One thing you'll for sure want to do is get rid of MiniAVC. I confess that I don't know what -V2 of that mod is/does, but I suggest checking out the ZerMiniAVC mod for a description of the problems with this mod. You have two copies and both need to be nuked afaik: KIS/Plugins/MiniAVC-V2 KerbinSideRemastered/MiniAVC

    From that Gitlab page, you'll need to select either the Reborn branch or the EarthHomeWorld (?) branch. Not selecting a branch gets you the old version which doesn't work. For the Reborn branch, install just the KSRSS folder - not the additional 64k textures (they don't work with Reborn).

    You will need to get rid of this. See the mod "ZeroMiniAVC" for more info on how/why. 1736 [LOG 18:53:59.663] MiniAVC-V2 -> Executing: MiniAVC-V2 - 2.0.0.0 1737 [LOG 18:53:59.663] MiniAVC-V2 -> Assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\KIS\Plugins\MiniAVC-V2.dll

    Yeah, I was able to confirm this. Wasn't sure if you're a github user or not, so I created a Github issue for you so it doesn't get lost - the BDB team usually looks through issues when they're actively working on stuff. The link for the issue is here if you want to follow it. I added a picture.
  15. OrbitalManeuvers
    Yeah. Katniss makes things for RSS. Both their Cape and Baikonur mods have been resized down to 2.5x for KSRSS by two different, generous forum members. Don't expect perfection out of either - they're being shoehorned into a smaller size and don't line up with existing terrain in exactly the same way as I'm sure they would in RSS.

    yeah tbh, i don't know how large it should be in the field of view of a video game, and i don't really sweat it. but here's how it looks for me in default FOV

    I haven't been back since that post, but I had a couple Dragonfly missions in flight so I landed one, and here's my screen now. I've made several changes since back then, that was over a year ago. So this is Reborn, TVC (both eve/scatterer from that), and the TUFX profile is either Steven_Colour_Hassel or Steven_Hassel_Lesserbloom (can't remember which) in the Lowlands. But yeah it's better for me with this configuration. TUFX can reeeeeeally change the color of the atmosphere so I got very different lookgs going through all my profiles. But that persistent "in shadow" isn't happening for me any more with this setup. Dunno about the sunflare -- as seen from where?

    This mission, with the new Proton parts .... * chef's kiss *

    I've always wondered about tech tree mods: do you have to make decisions on every part that appears in the tree? And does that require looking at the part or at least knowing what it is/does? I'm wondering how much tooling you have to help, or if it's just hardcore manual labor?
  21. OrbitalManeuvers
    Hi - thought I'd give this a go. Thanks for sharing your work with us. I think you might also have an incompatibility with HideEmptyTechTreeNodes. Screenshot shows my tree with it installed. Seems ok once I removed it.
  22. OrbitalManeuvers
    you guys, this mod is really great. it was already great at beta 1 and it's just gotten better and smoother. thanks to all of you for sharing this hard work with err1 If I may ask about a couple things: I remember landing on top of the heat shield in the water in the early betas, which didn't seem ideal and I meant to ask about it. The last couple of betas I've noticed there's much better separation between the capsule and the heat shield. I'm using all the auto-deploy/jettison features at the default altitudes, it just seems like it's working better now in 7/8. Did you guys change something? Or maybe I finally got something right? either way it's working well. Last q ... (and I kinda have the same question about the Kane capsule) what is the right altitude to jettison the parachute cover? Do I want more atmo pressure or less atmo pressure? Sometimes it comes back and bonks into my docking port or whizzes by at disturbing speeds ... and sometimes it just disappears silently into the blue sky. Please help me achieve the no bonk scenario.

    Yeah, in KSRSS from the Cape, this one ain't gonna happen. It's at least a few hundred m/s short. I am currently not fluent in direct ascent from the Cape with the inclination mode set to Default. If I'm not mistaken it can only be done once a month with a very small launch window at night. There was a time when I didn't know how to get to an equatorial geosynchronous orbit either, and I do now, so maybe there's hope for direct ascent. I also know that even with Default inclination, the relationship between the moon and the earth in KSRSS can't be precisely correct without axial tilt, so that makes me a little meh about direct ascent missions in KSP. That said, Pioneer 4 is entirely possible in JNSQ. I just tried 3 times and was able to get to a munar PE of 800k, so it would just take some tweaking to the timing/ascent angle to get it closer. But I did get to escape velocity, and my solar orbit was lower, so I'm calling that one a ... whatevs. Also, check out this old NASA video of the Pioneer 4 launch, around 50 seconds. Interesting - might need to bury some prograde RCS jets in the bottom of the guidance unit ... someday ... if I ever try this again
  24. OrbitalManeuvers
    But if we take on Pioneer 1 ... you in? No suicide burns! Luckily the rest of it is horrible enough to make up for it.
  25. OrbitalManeuvers
    there is nothing bundled in the KSRSS Reborn download from Gitlab. I dunno what you got there but here's a picture of a minimal KSRSS install. If you just do this, and nothing more than this, then you should have a working KSRSS, which you can then add the rest of your mods onto. But it's best to start a solar system change from scratch instead of adding it to an existing install. That way you can do just this much, test it, make sure it's good, then continue adding others if you want.
