    Sorry for the long wait - I had everything ready but I just didn't have time to write this, since I was getting into a few other commitments. Chapter 6 "I see Earth! It is so beautiful!" - Yuri Gagarin

    All my attempts to fly SSTOs end up in crashes, so I think I count. @Maria Sirona?

    Great to see you back on the forums!

    Instead of turning up, I think he took a wrong turn @Autochrome?

    Definitely! I do have a bad habit of designing a singular launcher (at least, one for each size class). I switch them out if they get old, but there's not much variety. I'll try my best to mix it up this save. I'll try my best, though I did mostly do some extra storytelling for this one since it's an important mission. I do enjoy writing storytelling parts, but it does get a bit exhausting (and repetitive, I feel. You can only have the same launch sequence so many times.) I do think it adds a lot of neat perspective for sure, so I'll try my best to incorporate some more.

    Continuing my JNSQ playthrough, I've finally launched the first Kerbal into orbit. Since it's an important mission, that means... Cue the dramatic angle screenshot spam! (for sanity's sake, I'll stuff it into a spoiler.)

    This one is a short one, and for once I don't actually have that much commentary. Here we go! Chapter 5 "Zero G and I feel fine!" - John Glenn

    Interesting, out of all mods I would have thought Kerbalism would have had failure modes for everything. Indeed, I originally designed a lot more spacecraft for future programs, but with lessons learned here, I'm going back and designing them with even more redundancy out of fear. It's something that I never even considered before installing a failures mod, which has been really eye-opening. You really have to do a lot more testing and design than just 'haha space rocket go boom.' Hopefully, they actually work!

    Sorry for the delay, the first time I wrote this chapter I was about 90% done when I accidentally hit refresh, and the forum editor didn't catch it like it usually does. Also, I've been trying to fix a few mod issues (all fixed now!). Anyways, this isn't the most exciting of chapters, but it does lay the foundation for the next one. Small sidenote, I probably spend the majority of the time I spend writing chapters actually just looking for a quote, so if anyone has any good quotes, please send them to me.

    Um I'm not sure actually, I'm just using the default JNSQ scatterer configs. Sorry that I can't be of much help here, I don't really understand this haha. That would be the bottom of the command pod seen through the water.

    Alright, I added SRB waterfall effects back and modified the patches as shown, and everything is working now! Thank you very much! So that was a rabbit hole of things - because of a missing bit in RSE's patches, when SRB waterfall effects and RSE are installed together, Realplume is broken. At least, that's what I think happened. Thank you all for the help!
  12. Misguided Kerbal
    Yes, I have SRB waterfall effects installed that adds Waterfall configs to SRBs, and also uses Realplume for the smoke effects. I had no idea it might be causing problems, I'll uninstall it and see what happens.
  13. Misguided Kerbal
    I tried removing the realplume patch RSE had, but that still didn't seem to do anything. I thought that might be causing some problems too, so I removed it, but nothing seems to have changed. At this point I have literally no idea what might be causing the issues, so I'll just wait for the next release of RSE and see if that fixes anything.
  14. Misguided Kerbal
    Yeah, I only have stock waterfall installed for the few engines that waterfall-restock doesn't config, like the jet engines and the bobcat and cheetah engines. Yeah, I don't understand that either. I'll try removing the RSE patches for Realplume, that'll probably fix it.

    I just deleted the old folders and cleared the MM cache, and made sure to install the latest versions from github, but realplume still isn't working.
  17. Misguided Kerbal
    I've been trying to do a bit more digging and RSE just doesn't seem to want to work with Realplume.
  18. Misguided Kerbal
    Alright, thank you for helping, I'll go ask on the RSE thread itself and see if anything is wrong.

    Here you go. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1enhq_qgRy6O8rQbNgZwix6gIG_4rgEo9?usp=sharing
  20. Misguided Kerbal
    Yep, removing RSE fixed Realplume.
  21. Misguided Kerbal
    In my new modded install, I have realplume and all the necessary dependencies installed. However, realplume simply refuses to show up, no matter what I do. Clearly it's being loaded, but it never shows up ingame anywhere, and I have no clue why. I'm pretty sure Rocket Sound Enhancements is the culprit here, since Realplume was working fine before I installed it, but I'm not sure. Player.log https://drive.google.com/file/d/160t8TM-hn24gfWn6YSRS1Ii1WIHlqd9p/view?usp=sharing I also have a bunch of other mods installed, including Waterfall.
  22. Misguided Kerbal
    Hi, I've recently installed Rocket Sound Enhancement and I've been enjoying it greatly. However, it seems that it just completely disables realplume, when RSE is installed realplume just refuses to even show up where it normally does. I was wondering if this was probably just some installation mistake on my part, or if this is a known issue with RSE/Realplume?

    Continuing in my JNSQ playthrough, I've finally got a satellite into orbit - after 6 consecutive failed launches, thanks to BARIS: After all of these launch failures though, Explorer 7 FINALLY got to orbit successfully, with only minor hiccups. I've never really appreciated just how hard the early days of rocketry were - now I'm pretty sure I more than understand. Normally, I would have image spam of every single moment of the launch, but I was expecting more launch failures. Only when I realized that the launch might be actually successful did I start taking more pictures. Here, we have flawless stage separation. No problems to speak of! Ironically, some parts fail right after reaching orbit. However, redundancy prevents this from becoming a derelict satellite - only one of the 4 antennas are taken out, and 3 out of the 4 batteries. Finally, Explorer-7 becomes the first satellite in orbit!
  24. Misguided Kerbal
    Yes, haha - I was a bit sleepy and tired when I wrote that last night.
  25. Misguided Kerbal
    Well.. I would have gotten this out earlier, but I proceeded to have 6 launch failures in a row, literally. If you thought the last one was long and boring... here we go again. I promise things will get more exciting - unless we happen to have 6 launch failures in a row again. In fact, I originally thought I only had 5 launch failures in a row but I got so confused I missed one. Chapter 3 "Our two greatest problems are gravity and paperwork.
