Couldn't care less if we have em on PC. I think Microsoft and Sony mandate that games have em so the console ksp has em. If we get em can I or we toggle em back off? If yes let PC have em too.

I get that the orange suits are technically "launch/entry" suits but these are kerbals why cant the prime crew suits for EVA not be orange with RCS packs?

My Search Fu is weak, I will admit, but, quick suggestion x2. 1. If I am doubling up, merge please. And 2. My true suggestion, with the prime crew of Jeb, Bill, Bob and Val, make EVA suits match what you see on IVA please. Being orange in IVA then suddenly White on EVA is jarring. Yes, this is an old issue since like EVA became a thing, but, holy cow guys, can we do something about this please?

glad im not goin mad as a hatter then

Has ANYONE noticed that, with the original crew members of Jeb, Bill, Bob and Val that inside the craft their suits are orange but on EVA they turn WHITE? Anyone notice that? Am I just batty? Also, did you know that on the EVA pack <at least with Bill I think <who ever is the scientist lol> your flag shows on the EVA Pack?

@Pine Looking forward to it also glad things seem to be back on track for you I may have a pic or two more for your creative eye if that's cool

@Nightside the effect IS stock. Its an extension of the rocket smoke effects. the code is in game, but currently turned off thanks to prior unity and lower end machines having issues. Squelch said, it may get turned on with U5 and how it handles particles, but its a down the road a bit thing for now

Thats the version im running if its july4 ish and at 1500+- ms in atmo going up or down it comes on

I posted this issue to the tracker some days back. I find it rather difficult to use. I test as best I can and post my results where I can. This sadly seems to be insufficient for people. So, they blindly chastise with out looking deeper or simply asking why the noise is being made here and call it a tantrum. I am tired of the slings, arrows and barbs flung at me. This community overall has been wonderful but I find more and more that people would rather attack than ask. Closed minded barbs, attacks and insults finally win. Thank you for showing me I do not belong, that I am doing wrong the only thing I know how to do to try to help fix a problem.

I want to posit something. This is for the camp of put it on the tracker and hush. When in the history of anything has file complaint, then say nothing any more ever worked? To my knowledge, never. The problem is, there is no indication by the game, in construction or on mission that something you placed externally on a cargo bay or service bay will and sometimes DOES become deactivated because of the cargo doors. Take my Goliath Shuttle, the very craft that sparked the resurgence of this conversation. Had I not by intentional design had a secondary method of recovery, namely a ton of parachutes, the lack of any indication that opening the cargo bay rendered the nose wheel inoperable I could have lost the crew. But I am an experienced player so I know to plan for failures. The fresh from the box newbie? Nope. No, as Wildlynx said, we, the vets must fend for ourselves, and by extension we fend for our incoming brothers and sisters. We must rise as a chorus, we must sing loud of these issues, only then will they hear us, only then will things like this take priority.

@Adelaar sadly, at least with the mod <maybe its in the games code?> the moment you are fast enough and have a solid reentry like heat effect going you generate the plasma trail. Yes, even during launch if you go fast enough lol

@suicidejunkie Manning a satellite completely goes against the point and purpose of an unmanned device and drastically reduces service life and exponentially increases cost and risk. Imagine Earths GPS satellite system or our communications satellites, let alone Voyagers 1 & 2. Imagine the cost to have a human, just 1 human on each. And thats not including any probe beyond Earth. Now picture every probe thats left Earths SOI. The cost in Human life alone would be extreme. Its bad and tragic enough we lost all those brave souls to tragic accidents, but can you imagine the moral and ethical cost of deliberately sending people on a mission that ultimately will kill them? No. Probes are perfect as is. Low cost (relatively speaking compared to an intentionally manned mission with a return home) and basically fatality free.

Ya I dont get it either. The reentry effects are, at least according to Squelch the same type of thing as rocket exhaust effects, yet complaints about performance hits on launches, where you are the most part heavy yet on landing you are what? A command pod, 1-4 chutes and a heat shield for a max of what 6 parts?

Tbh im not sure, but Squelch made mention of the same thing but the plasma trails according to Squelch are essentially an extension of current rocket plumes so with U5 we may yet see this come up.

@The_Rocketeer Im making noise because im not the only person having this issue. as to the other bit, not even a kerbal, not even jeb is that reckless lol.

ive a little LCD read out on my keyboard showing CPU usage and RAM usage, and it stayed normal during all those pictures.

really? I mean really? come on now.

the thing is, according to pizzaoverhead and the youtube channel i first saw the mod in, the codes there, its jut not turned on. we can only hope its turned on proper soon. let the devs know what we want!

KIS/KAS make engineers soo much more fun

for me? it was learning that <via a youtube video and the mod it spoke of> there is a Squad developed, programmed set of code to give us superior re-entry effects that mimic the REAL THING. The fact that they programmed this and never enabled it just blew my mind away. Frankly nothing I have done myself or seen in any videos or screen shots is crazier than the fact they coded superior reentry effects only to never use them and leave us what what is clearly a place holder. crazy huh

Hi folks. I want to make a suggestion that seems simple, and stunningly IS easy to have done! Now to sound like some late night infomercial lol. Do you feel your reentries are lacking something? Do you feel that they could use some more pep? Do you feel that they just simply are NOT realistic enough, especially those of you using the RO mod? Well, have I the solution for you! And for no additional cost the code for it is ALREADY IN THE GAME!!!!!!!! It just has NEVER been turned on!!!! A fellow forum user has located this code and turned it on via a mod. @pizzaoverhead is the user to have located Squads code and generated the mod I speak of, and to you sir, as I said in your thread, you are a god! The mod can be found: It was on youtube that I found this mod. KottabosGaming is the channel <is it ok I mention a youtube channel here? and ya know give credit where its due and all that cool and nice stuff?> Since I am unsure on the linking of YouTube channels, I just will leave his name. BUT, lets check this out: Re-entry as we know it: Re-entry as it is with the aforementioned code thats in game and mod that turns this code ON: I zoomed out to show its length of the plasma trail. Some other shots, and yes, anything that comes off your ship that is moving fast enough shows the effect: What I keep wondering is, why is such an awesome feature not turned on by Squad? Why are we left with a bland re-entry effect when the coolness is just sitting dormant in the code? I truly, TRULY wish to thank both the folks I mentioned for first finding the code and making a mod that turned the code ON, so, PizzaOverhead, thank you soo much. I also want to thank KottabosGaming for taking the time to review and show off this truly astounding feature turned mod. Thank you! I now wish to suggest that Squad go ahead and turn this feature on! Lets hear what YOU my dear readers have to say!

oh come on SQUAD, why wont you turn this effect on? @pizzaoverhead you are a god. hey um @Squelch any chance you guys can just go ahead and turn this on? I mean yall did code it in there according people who found the code... please?

1. I really wish that @Vanamonde had NOT merged my post from 16 hours ago into this thread as it points out something should NOT BE BURIED in a similar thread, so I beg for an unmerge please. Thats why my opening said "deserves its own thread" but here we are.... 2. The devs or at least Claw, Squelch and Arsonide are aware of this BS at least insofar as gear/cargo bays go. I should know having spoken with all 3 on that. 3. Already made a bug tracker ticket on the gear portion and it was confirmed by another user. 4. @The_Rocketeer #3 and #4 are for you, not putting gear on a cargo bay ever just isnt realistic.

@Tex Mechs Robot @Ten Key MWO has gotten better. Its still not perfect, but, its something. I myself am an Elite founder and was wave 2 closed Beta. We do have the clans now if yall missed it coming in.

fun truth nugget: Squad has 0 zero obligation to do ANYTHING MORE than what we have RIGHT NOW. Also, imagine what it must be like to spend all day looking at lines of code, chasing bugs, accidentally making NEW bugs fixing OLD bugs. Its soul crushing Id imagine. After some point, they need a new project. What comes tomorrow will come. Good, bad, what ever it may be. Enjoy today.
