Yay! Welcome back! Your mod kicks green ass!

Thanks again for all the help guys! I now have satellites mapping Kerban, Mun and Minmus!

What is the kethane used for? I don't know anything about kethane....

I finally got my MapSat working and finally had a chance to play and get a satellite in orbit. Thanks for all the help getting the mod working for me. I've got one orbiting Kerbal at 250 km at 88 degree inclination. If I leave it in this orbit, will it eventually map the whole planet, or do I have to periodically change the orbit to map the entire planet?

I use Kerbal on Steam, and the mod is working for me now. My issue before was that I thought I had the latest version of the mod, but I didn't. I used the link on the beginning of this thread, and it's out of date. If you go to the previous page of this thread (80) there's a link to the new version on Spaceport that worked for me.

Ooh awesome Amaroq! I'm going to make that fix now. Do you also make the same change to part.cfg in the ISA_MapSat directory?

Woo hoo! That did it! Thanks guys!

No, I was using the link on the first post of the thread. Thanks for the link!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/67516965@N05/8673723720/ Sorry, for some reason I can't get the image to imbed Here's a screenshot with the satellite. I'm at 1920x1080 resolution with the UI at tiny (smallest it will go). Maybe the problem I have is I have version 3.3.1, which is what I got from the dropbox link in the first post of this thread. The other link to the spaceport goes to a page that doesn't exist, probably because it was created after October. Anyone know where I can get the latest version? Hopefully that will solve the problem.

Yes, I did all that. I've even done and redone it 3 times just to be sure.

Thanks for all the help guys. I have definitely not seen that button, and I have tried it with the correct dish on my satellite. It may be a screen resolution thing, as I have mine at 1920x1080. If I'm able to change my resolution and find it, can I then move the button? I really don't want to play at a lower resolution just to use this mod. Thanks! Edit: Ok, just played around with it. I made the UI as small as it goes (Tiny), and I still didn't see a button.

I cannot find the MapSat icon anywhere on my screen. I made the change to the hilo file, I even tried putting a satellite with the dish on the launchpad as suggested. No button anywhere. You guys said it should be on the bottom left of the screen, but there's UI there (pitch, yaw, etc.). Maybe it's behind it? I can't find anyway to move the pitch, yaw, roll ui... In sheer desperation I copied over the MapSat files AGAIN (3rd time now). Still no button. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks!

Yeah, I'm having a similar problem. I see the satellite dish and GPS parts, and I launched a satellite with the dish, but I've never seen any kind of UI for the add on. I've gone over the install instructions at least 10 times, and there's nothing there I missed. Seems either it's not working with the current version or the install instructions are incomplete. Has anyone gotten it to work, and if so, any ideas what I can do to get the UI to come up? I even tried doing a fresh install, and no dice.

About mapsat, I sent a satellite up that had the dish on it. It was orbiting Kerbal at 250 km, but I never saw the interface to map or anything. I think it must not be installed or running correctly, but I uninstalled and reinstalled it and still no dice. Thanks for all the suggestions! I have a lot to think about.

As for the Steam issue, I'm betting you'll have to go into the steam folder and manually delete the files and folders for the mods. Steam doesn't seem to delete everything when it "uninstalls" a game. In case you don't know where the game folder is, on my machine the path is C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\

Hello all! I'm relatively new to Kerbal. I've gotten into orbit (many times), landed on the Mun, and put some satellites in orbit of the planet and the Mun. I'm curious where some of you have gone from there. Also, I'm wondering what add-ons you guys like. I've got MechJeb, Protracor, Alarm Clock, Subassembly Loader. I've been playing around with MapSat, but can't seem to get it to work. Anyway, any tips or pointers as to what I should try to do next would be appreciated. I've been thinking about going for the planets, but it would be cool to build something, whether a space station or lunar base, I'm not sure.

An, ok, thank you! I found them! What a bizarre place to put them. The Science or even Utility section would make a lot more logical sense.

I've been trying to get this mod to work. I extracted the files and copied them into the apprpriate KSP directories, however I'm not seeing either of the parts in-game to put on my craft. Can anyone help me out here?
