I don't do requests these days. The NFLV update is almost done. Only one part (the large decoupler) is now missing, and I have done a couple of balance passes. Appreciate any and all tests/opinions.

The UI provides you with a button you can click to set the Mean Solar Altitude to that of a target body. In your use case, set it to Jool, and you will see all solar panels are scaled to their predicted output at Jool

Maybe not 406... Besides adjusting the existing engines, I'm expecting that project to add no more than 4 new models. There's a potential for a Raptor redo as it's now pretty different, if that was considered I guess it would make 6.

@coyotesfrontier is correct. A bunch of work will be done to them, they'll be different. You can still find the current models by searches/filtering as with all deprecated parts.

This is actually a KSP bug 'fix', where previously it appeared that nodes that were moved via PartVariants did not respect directionality. As we copied the stock PartVariants node blocks for our patches to replicate the node locations on replaced parts, we copied a couple instances where the stock parts had nodes pointed the wrong way, which was hidden by the bug in 1.8 and earlier. When 1.9 fixed the bug, Squad also fixed these parts' node locations, so we had to do that too.

No problem, I fixed on in the large cargo bay, but for things like this, screenshots are really helpful.

Fixed most of those: Yes, now that I did balance to them, they are no longer TBD ;). Have you tried holding Alt to restrict attachment to nodes only? I don't really want to do more work for that right now but maybe in the future.

It will for a short time as those engines still exist in a deprecated state. However it will not apply to any of the new engines, as they are all kerolox. You can review the current roadmap here.

Cool, some questions. I'm not sure what you mean here, both of those parts still exist. Done. Can you be more specific? I didn't notice any problems just now.

Yes, I've actually read the Scorpion report. It's very optimistic, just like everything even vaguely related to Skylon :P. I have also considered making it - might happen someday...

I am moving towards release of NFLV. To that end, you can head over to the development thread if you are brave and want to help test for bugs.

The NFLV major update is 95% complete so it would be great if people could help me iron out any bugs. It should be backwards compatible with older NFLV versions and KSP 1.8.x as well.

Dependencies are ModuleManager, B9PartSwitch and DeployableEngines (all latest versions).

Just ScanSat functionality. You can patch in whatever you like though.

Thanks!

Yes. However it has been partially remodeled and completely retextured. Because you've all been so patient:

I like putting more advanced things behind size classes. It's my understanding that getting a lab basically gives you infinite science in stock, so there's that. When I get around to 1.875m parts I have scoped a science lab but that's in the future.

So this is purely a name swap? Can you make a git issue? Legs suck - I don't have any interest in working on those any further. They more or less function correctly and that's as good as I can get right now.

You probably don't want to do this - the model changed dimensions with 1.9. Our update (hopefully coming soon) will add a new revised model that fits within the current envelope.

Optional patch, I think, with CryoEngines. Yes there should be zero of them, just the two 'service tanks' CKAN has a NF Solar Core thing that is only the plugin. However NF Solar got a non-backwards compatible update some time ago which will probably cause issues with some ships. Finished off the 1.875m booster which is based on the TR-107... Just one more engine left then I'll be done with them!

I followed the steps shown in the video and didn't have any issues - linked extension and individual extension all work fine. Is anyone else seeing this?

Something like @PART[thePartIWant]:BEFORE[ReStock] { @MHReplacement = false } Should work

I'll try to remember but it's really best if these go as GH issues, then they're really in my face when i am about to do a release.

aaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ok we'll handle this through git then.
