Yes, it is indeed. It's intimately tied to KAE though.

Yeah, what's the point of separate "LiquidFuel," "Oxidizer," "Xenon," and "MonoPropellant" resources? Why not just have one "BurnyStuff" resource? And one fuel tank too, that would really cut down the part list. On a more serious note, humans die after minutes without oxygen, days without water, and weeks without food. This means that your spaceplane, for instance, *needs* to pack Oxygen, but could get away with not bringing water or food. On a tight mass budget, that *matters.*

Well, then add that to the suggestions forum

taniwha has some updates for this, I'm also looking into it (but he's better'n me ) If you go to the git repo, you'll see a test release (with taniwha's updates). However, it's not actually useful for end users (plugins that use this will have to be recompiled to use this new version) but it might help plugin makers at least *test* their stuff in .24.

I really, really continue to not understand why "have to build a somewhat bigger rocket" = difficulty. It's not like clicking on an extra part is hard, right?

This is a limitation of 0.24 There's a hacky hacky Majiir thought of, and I thought of trying use a module to force a part to use a new AvailablePart object customized for itself, but...that's about it.

Ratzap: Is that also patched for .24? The position of controls moved.

Because it offers more functionality and is available in all scenes (unlike the standard one).

The point is not that people will read it. The point is that saying "Read the FAQ" is easier than retyping it each time. I will find a better version of my BC screed and put it in.

The word is "stupid_chris is working hard on it, but is a busy dude"

Yep. This is why I was poking rbray to have ATM use bicubic resampling.

Agathorn: yeah, AFAIK mipmaps were always loaded into memory; this isn't LOD. You do however get a performance boost (or did then) because you're sampling from a smaller texture, I think, for your filtering, when you're not on mip0.

Fixed. Forgot to include MM, so I redid it.

So it's no longer all PNGs get made unreadable? I thought it was that at one point. (And you use PNGs in EVE). Because, y'know, GameDatabase, loading textures before it knows their use.

Do please recompile, however, as there was a Unity upgrade involved as well as plenty of changes.

v2 \/ *Add support for Stretchies and PP tanks. *Add support for KSPX parts (Supernovy) *Update to 0.24

Changelog: v4.8 \/ *Starwaster: Fix handling of FS animations, fix inflatable heat shield properties. *Fix for .24 compatibility *Upgraded to Module Manager v2.2.0

AFAIK .24 didn't do anything to the PNG mipmap issue or the TGA-uncompressed issue. Your experience differ? (Also, I *think* that textures by default are made unreadable, which would screw with EVE unless ATM made the clouds etcs readable)

First of all, Launch escape systems usually have side thrust anyway to be *sure* they don't stay nose-first. What's the point of an escape system that simply launches you up high and then (if from the ground) you fall right back down onto the raging inferno or (if in flight) the rocket meets you again and smashes you? LES need to get you *away* from the problem, not just forwards from it. Now, as to scaling parts. RedAV8R, would you mind adding one of my ballistic coefficient talks to the FAQ? This seems to come up often. The tl;dr is that Squad parts are way too heavy for their surface area. The Mk1 pod (Mercury equivalent) should mass only about a third of what it does in order to have the same ballistic coefficient as Mercury, and the Mk1-2 pod needs to mass about 40% (and everything you add to it, also 40%) to have the same BC as Apollo. Higher BC = less drag on the way up (unrealistic, but in general a good thing) and *much worse heating* on the way down (a *very* bad thing). Instead of making a Mk1-2 pod that supposedly carries three human beings and masses only 1.64 tons, we rescale it to reasonable proportions.

It will be needed to fix KSP texture loader issues.

Oh. Of course it won't. Saturn V doesn't. Who cares? You can still build above the ceiling with Hangar Extender or RSS.

Currently uploading RSS v7.

ThorBeorn: the prop modeling is weird. I was going to replace it, now .24 hit, so wait a few days. I'll also fix anything weird between AJE and .24.

That 64 bit compatibility thread is...hit or miss at best IMO.

Save it as a subassembly.
