Nevermind, sorry. It's my browser. It seems to think "Security" means turning off 90% of the internet. I knew by your reply what was going on. I seem to get that a lot lately.

Documentation removed?

I am. I will make sure to keep that in mind. This is my first time playing Modular RSS and I have not opened any other bases yet so this info will come in handy! One thing is certain, I am glad I found this script because I was pulling my hair out trying to plot a glideslope like you would your algebra homework and it was not working.

@Caerfinon @ss8913 I realize that the last post was 2 years ago but I was hoping you could help me use the flight plan script properly. The environment is Modular RSS 1/4 sized real solar system. Earth is 600000 meters in diameter. python kramax.py -p="Earth" -g="3" -r="600000" --name="KSC27" --description="KSC Runway 27" --latitude="4.99730396296269" --longitude="-52.791191178751" --heading="270" --altitude="21" It returns waypoints with their respective altitudes at MAXKY, HIKEY, LOKEY, etc but they are all at the same coordinates as input via the command line. My results are not generating distance as they are in Caerfinon's posts. I am trying to plot a 3 degree glide slope from MAXKY to FLARE/STOP, assuming that STOP is the position I parked on the runway to gather the coordinates, if that helps. EDIT: DUH! I think I fixed it. Radius is in km and not m for one... There is distance, it's just 1000 times compressed. Using --debug returns distance. Without it, it's a vertical descent.

Just a quick question. I saw it asked but not an answer about custom waypoint hiding/removal. Is it possible to reset the waypoints to the ones shown by default without deleting custom ones from the menu panel individually? I can set them to active, of course, to hide them on the screen.

@ColdJ Thank you!

I downloaded a ship that requires cjtroopseats. KerbalX lists the needed mod as "unknown." Google cannot find it. Does anyone know which mod this a part of?

That time when you crashed your helicopter and it came to rest balanced on its tail...

I love the tiled bottom and nosecone. I still can't fly a shuttle but I look awesome back flipping onto the ground.

If the server is down, the addon mod breaks and pops a big window up on my screen that I can't close. Is there a way to close it that I am missing?

I can get a rocket to hover. I can get one to land at or below 1 m/s. I even have success inching to a flatter spot without a catastrophe. The second I try to do this with an airplane or hovercraft, there are more flips than there are at gymnastics competition. I have gotten as close to the vessel as zoom will allow to align the center of thrust with the center of mass. Flip. I use only one tank of fuel because I am only trying to get it to work at this point but the flipping is almost immediately and rather hard so I don't think tank drainage is the cause. There's no time for anything to drain. I have tried a single engine at the center of mass. I have tried 4 engines in an X spread out around the center of mass. I have watched/read every tutorial I can find and mimicked them the best I can but most of them are outdated and many versions lower than current. I have even tried mods. CKAN says they are current but I can't make them work. Every single time, mods or not, it immediately flips. I turned to Breaking Ground propellers instead of engines. They flip, flop, and spin if they even have enough power to lift off and use electricity faster than I can generate it. Again, I have watched/read every tutorial I can find. I guess my question is simply, is it even possible anymore? Why is a rocket easy but a hovercraft is seemingly impossible? I know it used to work because I see the videos of it.

Thankfully I am the other way around and my CPU is better than my GPU. Graphics are expensive. Upgrading would probably be a new computer because I am sure I will need a power supply as well as a video card and more system RAM would probably be necessary. I only have 16. I've only had KSP1 for a about a month so I have plenty more to explore. As I understand it, the Kerbin system is the only solar system right now in KSP2 and I am already there. :-P

Yeah with both DLC. I love it. I can't fly anyway without blowing up, falling over, or running out of gas so KSP2 can't be much worse. If I can't fly in it either, I am already used to it.

According to UserBenchmark, mine is half again more power than the GTX 960. Maybe I will give it go this weekend. You said 970. They say pretty much equal.

RX 5500. 4GB VRAM. It plays KSP1 just fine though so I can still crash rockets.

I'm only afraid to buy it because of the system requirements. My processor and RAM is fine. My video card is almost 50% below the card they list as minimum. I can afford a $50 game but a 5600 XT is about $500. I won't be upgrading that much any time soon.

Since I fly a space potato and miss the minimum system requirements for KSP2 by more than I miss my maneuver burns, I went anomaly hunting on Mun. I flew into the top of East Crater Arch today. On the second attempt, my rocket fell over when I landed and I couldn't RCS my way back upright. Time to test what a horizontal burn while on the Mun's surface facing the arch will do.

I am excited about more ways to crash into more varied celestial bodies.

@Cavscout74 Yes, the hill is my problem with the island hangars. If I go in from the east toward the hills, I will inevitably hit them. If I go in from the west over the hills, I hit the hangar. It does count if pieces of your plane go through it, so long as your pilot is alive to recover. Ugh about the science center. I already know what that will be. Driving under it hard because of the way the camera reacts. It would definitely have to be a slow craft for me because I can't fly well with the camera going crazy. They almost all require a safe landing also, which can be tricky. Planes are not as forgiving as rockets. Thankfully, there is no wind or fog or otherwise foul weather to contend with. But all that said, I do love planes in this game (especially at mach 3.5 engulfed in flames LOL).

@Cavscout74 I haven't gotten far in the contracts. I can't seem to storm any hangers without awakening a kraken. At that point, I return to flying thermometers to the other side of the planet. I do see the Coast Guard category. Maybe I can storm a couple hangars in a mini helicopter that can slowly glide through them and progress onward to bigger things.

It was over the past few days but I put 9 comms satellites in orbit around Kerbin, Mun, and Minmos. If you put them high enough, evenly spaced is not a problem, which is a good thing because isosceles was totally my outcome. I think I will use 4 over Duna to spread that out into a trapezoid. heh

Yes, it works just fine in 1.12.5. It's a breath of fresh air to have something other than flying a thermometer half way around the planet. :-P

I will be a while getting KSP2. After the release of the requirements, I don't think I can even play it. I have CPU and system ram enough to run it with a Ryzen 5 5600G and 16GB RAM but my video card is not even close to the minimum requirement. I have an RX 5500 with 4GB Vram. A 5600 XT is not quite twice as powerful but it's pretty close to it.

I love this mod. I just need to figure out how to assemble the aircraft. Thanks for the update!

It feels like my space program operates in real time. I will play in science where money doesn't matter until I can carry out a mission well enough to not go broke in career. It took me along time to land a legit rover on one of the moons. I made that landing today in career without crashing into Minmus. I tend to think like Howard Hughes and launch one Spruce Goose after another, so I am not sure I would get anywhere without YouTuber Scott Manley's tutorials. Here is my submission for the commemorative stamp. (Special thanks to the geyser going off as I readied the shot.) I didn't think to take the shot before crashing the mini skycrane. It was docked under the lander with the rover docked under it and the landing was done in two parts. There is a lesser chance of Jeb being killed that way. Now I just hope that the World's Firsts make a dent in the price tag or I might need to file Chapter 11.
