  1. Hey Sigma,

     

    Just found this mod out of the blue the other day, it's exactly what i wanted! Scaled every planet to 3* size in the input file but other than that i have been having a blast! What an awesome idea! Hope you keep your eye on it every so often and don't let it get abandoned!

  2. Hey GRM,

    I've been using a variety of your planet packs forevvvver now. I remember full well where the "trojan moon" minmus idea comes from :wink:

    I actually really like it. It is, as you said all that time ago, "a stepping stone. Something between going to the moon, and going to other planets", a dry run at leaving kerbin's SOI and returning to it.

     

    So please please please, is there AAAAAANY chance you can leave an optional trojan moon rendition?

  3. [quote name='NathanKell']All RO-required mods are updated for 1.0.5, and the RO repository is basically updated, just nailing down a few engine bits, so there shouldn't be much for Truth to do on top.[/QUOTE]

    Ahhh good to hear about RO being almost ready! You're a Kerbal institute all your own Nathan. Thank you for all the work (and others too)
  4. Hey so, stock install, Linux 64 bit, the latest RSS is hanging up on loading for me. My mod folder is NOTHING but stock, kopernicus, and RSS (and modulemanager). Unfortunately i don't have a log for the log gods because it doesnt crash, just hang up on an endless loading loop. I'm going to test this on my windows install and see if maybe she just no likey the linux 64 hack (it hasnt been a problem before for more than a year)

    [B]EDIT: Oh jeez ignore this foolishness, i was missing the RSS textures ... let that be a lesson to everyone[/B]
  5. Yeah,

    It's hard to have something a certain way, know how you want people to experience it, and then put it out there and not have them get the experience you want.

    I'll say though, people downloading your mod, literally titled "harder solar system", who then try to find an easy way out of it, are not really your target audience are they?

    It would be nice to have the option, and in the end it really is your call, but i mean if people want to cheat themselves out of the harder, i guess that's their call?

  6. Have to say stevehead: Would be VERY interested in a 6.4x rescale or even just 6x rescale of this system.

    Though potentially it would be nice to have an optional more "equatorial" launch site even if via kscswitcher if things move up to 6x scale.

    Other than that, so far nothing to say but good things: The axial tilt is a great little feature to add some depth to the experience! And i enjoy the kerbal system for a bit of a "realism remove" over the realistic system

  7. Hey Beale,

    Still love this pack, it's stock 2.0 to me.

    2 questions/requests of you, since you always seem to find work anyways :)

    1) Any chance you could revamp the front post? Link to Contares, Tantares Procedural Textures, Q orbital systems, Curt's tweakscale revamps, do an accumulated "Tantares Industries" kind of linkfest? Surely you must know there's an endless sea of work centered around your own amazing pack, and being able to access it in one place would be fantastic.

    2) Now i believe this was discussed a long time ago, but i'd like to weigh in on it again: Any chance of some more "colorful" optional reskins for some of the models? A black or green soyuz, some more color banding for the r7? I have actually tried my hand at it a few times but you have a very tight set of skins and mbms that are a little overwhelming to get into in the first place. I understand you set out to be stock-alike, and i think everyone in the thread can agree: You ARE the new stock. But i would really appreciate at least the option for a little more color and variety than grey on grey on grey.

    Thanks almighty loaf

    Hi, it's always weird to be sorta ... needy but, i think i just got buried or missed. Any thoughts on this, Beale?

  9. Curious here:

    I would very much like to take the realistic engine configurations of this mod (and maybe the rcs and reaction wheel changes), without the changes to capsule size and the size of most other components.

    Sort of a "stock with realistic engines" for a 64k playthrough.

    How much work am i looking at? Do i need to manually filter through each config and cut out what i don't want included?

  10. Hey,

    Just for my own personal interests i started putting together a very small "soviet" tech tree based off of tantares, tantareslv, hgr, energia/zenit, and a small amount of stock items.

    It functions more around a "1 tech unlocks a rocket, 1 tech unlocks resizing it larger" kind of schematic, so it is a fairly simple tree, but very clearly soviet and structured. Wonder if at any point in the future when its more polished you would welcome a peak at it? Might be a nice alternative tree.

  11. Meh I played around with the beta FG and i'll tell you this:

    Yes, its a little tipsy and surly and uncooperative, but as summed up before: "y'all are gravity turning wrong". FG flies like a fairly real rocket. If you get yourself more than 5 degrees outside of angle of attack, expect to start flipping. When you lose your booster tanks, don't expect to do more than 3 degrees AoA. You should be doing a long, slow, wide gravity turn starting at just under 100m/s. Set up mechjeb to keep your max q under 30k, your max speed under 30m/s, and your max AoA before booster sep to 6 degrees, 3 degrees after booster sep, and a nice long 40 percent turn. Watch how it handles with mechjeb at the controls, and get a feeling for what the grav turn on this bad boy really is.

    There is no flaw to this rocket, it's just... ice skating in a cement truck. You need to handle it with some respect, not whip it around. Treat it like a lady!

  12. Here's a quick and dirt antenna range remix for Tantares. Can't wait to see what they do with antennas in 1.1 and integrate it to Tanta

    You can just name this whatever.cfg and slap it in your KSP gamedata folder anywhere, so long as you have AntennaRange. It just essentially assigns a range you would roughly expect to each antenna, perhaps not too historically perfect but gets the idea out there. I'd love to use the needle antenna to enable or disable DPAI where only crafts with the needle or a couple others can let your ship use DPAI, that would be some great next level mod integration!

    ALSO: IS THERE ANY CHANCE WE CAN CALL THE NEW BELL X1 THE BEALE X1??
