Been using OpenTree as a required plugin for the LMP server I play with friends. Been working great! Thank you for the quick fix on the autostrut!!! edit: If anyone else wants to use this as a plugin for online, I recommend launching a new game without opentree, unlocking the tree that unlocks autostrut, and then restart with OpenTree. This will force unlock autostrut permanently. A new player joined without OpenTree and disabled autostrut before I had the chance to make it a required plugin. But the fix above will prevent that from happening. I don't think OpenTree was designed for LMP, but it is by far the most balanced TechTree I have encountered, and works great online.

Liking OpenTree so far, but encountered an issue. I just unlocked Structural Engineering II for the struts and autostrut is not available. If I use the cheat to unlock all technology, autostrut is available. What part unlocks autostrut now? I am only in the beginning of career. I did start a new game to confirm that autostrut does work if I unlock all. edit: Started a new game and manually unlocked each tree and no autostrut has appeared. I have advanced tweakables enabled. If I use the cheat Maximum Technology Autostrut appears. So it does appear autostrut is removed in this tree

Was getting random crashes using this on 1.11 during the load screen when launching a craft. I edited the config file's 30 seconds to 600 seconds and haven't crashed at all. RAM Usage is nice and low, below 6 GB. I notice my game takes a long time to load the VAB when game uses 20 GB of RAM. Glad this tool exists; without it, I'd be restarting the game a lot more.

Yeah, my station turns into a bendy mess when doing 4x time warp or with a decent TWR. Doesn't happen on my older copies of Kerbal. I'm used to using BetterTimeWarp with high physics time warp. That is definitely off the table until this gets fixed. I sure love my autostrut. One thing I was thinking about was taking a lot of strut parts into inventory and welding them on and back off when needed.

Turning off Reflection Refresh Mode in settings fixed the low fps problem for me (CPU bottleneck). I get near identical FPS with Parallax on or off now. I have a few planes act funny and flip over on the runway (especially prop-driven ones), but most act fine. Wheels break very easily compared to vanilla, but that makes terrain feel like an actual threat now. I can't expect to travel 200m/s in a 1000t plane, taking off on an alien world anymore, because it lacks strong VTOL engines for a slower take off. The way it is right now makes the game more challenging, realistic, and prettier.

Works great on 1.11.0. No more flickering black lines!

Sorry for late reply. Lots of Kraken!

I sometimes get a bug where the cargo bay has far more drag than usual, so I have to open it and close it back to get it to act normally.

Getting whenever I right click on a kerbal and click on a command on 1.8.1. I did say yes to check for updates on launch.

Anyone go to Venus in a propeller craft using Breaking Ground DLC? It is very glitchy. What can I do to make it feel more realistic? The TWR for a propeller craft at sea level on Venus is outrageously high.

I just docked my asteroid mover to a 35 million ton asteroid. It has 6 nervs and 4 darts. I cannot move the asteroid one bit. I have about a 0.004 TWR if I do rough math. Game reports 0.00 TWR. I assumed it is immovable. But for testing, a Mammoth will produce 0.02 TWR at max power. I cheated a craft to the asteroid with a Mammoth. The Mammoth could move the asteroid. Here's my problem: The Mammoth can still move the asteroid producing just 60 kN of thrust at around 1% thrust. My asteroid mover vessel produces way more than that, but its max TWR is below 0.00. What can I do to move the asteroid using my craft?

The fastest propeller plane on Steam uses R-25 Ducted Fan Blade. I started using them and they seem to be overpowered. Would be interesting to see their numbers. Good testing!

Getting Kopernicus error using this texture pack. I tried renaming the biome files from DDS to PNG and that loaded up without any errors on 1.8.1. Wow, looks incredible. Earth is so pretty. I am currently orbiting around Umbriel in Uranus system. The stock texture pack made Umbriel a pixelated mess. This actually makes it look pretty good! Gonna use this texture pack from now on! Was kinda weird that the fix was just renaming biome files from. DDS to .PNG. Am I doing something wrong?

Is the download link still available? Not seeing a download in the Github link. I may be blind.

Very excited for the next update. Beyond Home is so fun! I'm currently doing a 5x career on 1.7.3. Going great. I am having an issue with Lua's Space Center being buried under terrain at 5x rescale. Fortunately, the beginning of the runway pokes out of a mountain, letting me launch crafts safely! Too funny. I doubt there is a way to make KK behave well with resized terrain So far, the Beyond Home planet pack has felt by far the most 'alive' planet pack. Even stock feels like a dead wasteland.

Anybody? Do the extra launch sites on RSS 1.7.3 not work?

I currently am playing career on Real Solar System. I first started playing RSS on 1.6.0 and was able to use the Making History launch sites. Now that I am on a fresh install of 1.7.3 I no longer have the additional launch sites show up. I tried this in Sandbox as well. In Difficulty, I have Allow Other Launchsites checked. When I hover over the launch button, only the local runway/launch site option is available. In tracking station/map, the launch sites are not loaded up either. They just don't exist. In my copy of 1.6.0 RSS, it works perfectly. I just tried redownloading a fresh copy of KSP 1.7.3 on my Steam, and copied Making History expansion into my RSS KSP installation. I have all the Making History parts at least... Would love to make use of the other launch sites like I did in 1.6.0 RSS. Heck, the Desert Island one even starts underwater, making testing submersibles and boats super convenient.

Whenever I time warp in a vacuum to do a burn, my FPS drops. I am fine with that. The issue is my fps fails to recover even at 1x speed. The only fix is to restart the game. The issue gets worse and worse the larger my craft is. Overclocking CPU is the only fix to improve the FPS. It has gotten so bad that I am avoiding time warping with physics (alt+>). Is there a fix for this? Why does this happen? My CPU is an i7-5775C @ 4.2 GHz. The issue gets bad with part counts above 200. No mods! I can get 30 fps with a part count of around 300-500 parts. It stays at 30fps very consistently. As soon as I time warp to do a burn and go back to 1x speed, I am at 10fps. Reloading save, going to main menu does nothing. Re loading save after restarting the game fixes the FPS bug until I time warp again. Doing a 20 minute burn suddenly becomes a dreaded occurrence. I solved it! Someone mentioned Physics Delta Time to me. It was already set to the lowest setting, but setting PDT to max got me the FPS drop that I experience. I downloaded CheatEngine to search for 0.3 in float, found my PDT of 0.02999999933. With CheatEngine open, I was able to see my Physics Delta Time in game. After using alt+> to time warp with physics, I saw my Physics Delta Time permanently change to 0.07999999933 even after going back to 1x speed. Using CheatEngine, I forced it back to 0.02999999933. Thus putting my FPS back to how it should be. This is a bug! CheatEngine is a bandaid. This occurs on every copy of KSP I have. Tested on 1.7, 1.6.1, and 1.6.0. My friend helped me make this script for CheatEngine. Because of all the negative stigma using this program, I won't link any downloads for a trainer. Now I can play the game without restarting every time I warp! All the script does is call up the PDT value without you needing to search for it on restarting the game. { Game : KSP_x64.exe Version: Date : 2019-05-25 Author : Anonymous This script obtains the Float value of Physics Delta Time.

Got it working! Deleted my settings.cfg file. This issue was NOT related to Beyond Home.

Will do. Was about to edit my post! I deleted one addon at a time and Kopernicus is the reason it isn't loading.

I made sure to follow the install instructions, yet KSP 1.6.1 cannot get past the black loading screen for me. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I am trying this on a fresh install of KSP. Would love to try this mod. Sorry if this is not in the right place.

Thank you for the response, OHara! The Plane is using a 32t 2.5m Rockomax fuel tank. That seems to fit perfectly with the Wolfhound, Poodle, and Skipper (engines tested). Since Whiplashes are powering the plane to a high altitude, I attached a stack seperator and a nose cone (or an airstream shell) to the back of the 2.5m rocket engine. Doing this to the Wolfhound allows very low drag. The red drag line emitted is so short, that it is inconsequential. Doing this to the Poodle actually hurts drag. I get better performance without any nose cone or shell. The red drag line emitted from the poodle is massive, approximately 3x longer than the craft. This is with the airstream protective shell, or using a nose cone. In the end, it takes about 90 seconds longer to hit 400 m/s with the Poodle equipped than it does with the Wolfhound or Skipper. All these engines are 2.5m.

I recently purchased Making History and started testing out some of the parts. I made an SSTO with a Wolfhound rocket and 2 Whiplash engines. My friends and I often share crafts and I removed the Wolfhound for a Poodle as they do not have Making History. With the Poodle equipped, my plane cannot hit 400 m/s at sea level due to huge amounts of drag. With the Wolfhound, it can hit 400 m/s easily. The Poodle weighs less as well, but the red drag line is considerably larger. I then attached a stack separator and added a nose cone to help remove some drag. While it helped the Wolfhound version, the Poodle version still cannot hit 400 m/s with the Whiplashes even with a nose cone or protective shell. I replaced the Poodle with the Skipper, and it can also hit 400 m/s+ at sea level. Is there a problem with the Poodle Engine having too much drag? Or is this old news that I have missed? I am on 1.6.1 stock. I have made crafts using the Poodle before, but this is the first time I have noticed that it does have an unusual amount of drag, mainly because I now have access to the Wolfhound which also has 380 ISP. edit: I removed the main fuel tank and added it back and suddenly I can hit 400 m/s with the poodle equipped (whiplashes are the only engine running). I can hit 400m/s faster and have less drag with the Wolfhound still. Should the Poodle get a drag buff or is it ok for the Wolfhound to have less drag despite it weighing more? I may be missing something here, sorry.

I found the hardest reentry is when the plane is essentially out of fuel, as the load balance could potentially be very messed up. I set up fuel priorites so my CoM and CoL is always very close together. I like to test by turning off SAS at high speeds in atmo and see what happens. If the plane stays nice and level with SAS off (at all fuel levels), then it is very safe imo. When making a plane, I like to also test unsafe reentries at high speeds. Say 300km Apoapsis and a steep 0km Periapsis. I sure as heck won't do that on a real mission with a crew, but I always need to know the limits!

I made a 500 part plane a few days ago. Worked quite well for the first launch. I reverted back to launch to test again, and I noticed a few parts were missing... So I reverted again and I saw the missing parts glued to the runway. I found this odd, so I reverted to SPH, and saw nothing wrong. I launch again, and suddenly, my plane is in orbit! I eventually tried any other ship and they all started putting me in LKO at launch. After rebooting the game, the missing parts from the giant 500+ part plane start floating behind any vehicle I launched. I eventually opened up the massive plane and to my surprise, removing any part started crashing the game. I even backported it to 1.4.5 and the same thing happened. I spent so much time on that stupid plane, and I eventually had to start a new save. Even after deleting that monster plane, those missing parts were constantly chasing my vehicles at launch or in orbit!I had no idea that was even possible on stock 1.5.1. I still have no idea why this occured. I am wary to go past 300 parts on designs from now on. I still have this plane backed up in case I want to try it again....
