    I dont know if any one else noticed, but with 1.1, if you DONT want KSP to run in the background if you switch windows, now the game also DOES NOT LOAD, while focusing on a different window... So, so much for surfing the web, or playing MS Solitaire while it takes 15 mins for your heavily modded install to load.
    Either you have to stay focused on the loading screen, and go do something NOT on your computer while you wait, OR you HAVE to have KSP run in the background if you switch windows during gameplay, OR you have to go into the Settings menu EVERY time you start your game, AND EVERY time before you CLOSE your game to switch the setting... :(

    Squad, if possible, PLEASE make the Simulate in Background setting ONLY affect gameplay, and NOT game loading like it always has been pre-1.1... :wink:

     Can you post in ModuleManager thread so I don't forget about it ? I ll add something to force the value until the main menu

  2. Well, if I do get a new CPU, it'll be thoroughly researched before that, don't worry, and thanks!

     

    Funny thing tho, exactly the same physics slowdown happens in both 1.0.5 and 1.1 prerelease with the same craft, even when I rebuild it completely from scratch... Even if the rest of the game performs much better!

  3. A combination of available time to play, aerodynamics, and the fact that I have some oversized cargo that is too big even for MK3 cargo bays, and yet needs to be recovered after deployment on another planets. A problem I haven't solved yet in over a year. 

    Also, I never managed to get anything larger than MK2 into orbit. Just can't get it to work, no matter what.

    MK2s work beautifully, but MK3 are a nightmare, it seems.

  4. Regarding Ender's... hmm.. I read the first book, it was interesting, if somewhat strange for me (still can't put my finger on how exactly) but Speaker just bored me..

    Currently, I'm re-reading Vorkosigan saga, for who knows which time. I discovered it long time ago, when my two friends bought me Shards of Honor and Barrayar for the same birthday, and got hooked.

    Also, one book by Clarke that I like: 

    Earthlight

    Rendesvous with Rama is very good, but later books not so much, for my taste at least.

    I'll add some other stuff later, as it comes to mind.

  5. @mikegarrison I think you've hit bullseye. Along with Orao I think that's closest SFRY came to Karman Line

    As for airbase Željava (that's how it was called) I don't think there was enough room inside for any large rocket parts... now, if yugoslav engineers devised something useful to USA, and sold it... who knows.

    Actually, now you guys have sort of tickled my interest... I was adamant about NOT seeing that thing, now I just might... (there goes that expensive adamantium again...)

  6. You know... at this moment, you don't really need a Martian laser station. You just need to bring enough fuel to slow down the probe, or whatever it is you're sending, other than crews. In time, if there is need, I imagine interplanetary civilization could finance building of multiple such laser stations, sort of how the trains receive their power from the powerplant, and only use it, instead of making it, so could some future spacecraft work in similar manner.

    Besides... you can always send a giant mirror to orbit Mars, and target it from here, to slow down your lightcraft with Earth's own laser station...

    Just in the early days, of course

  7. Well, if this is viable, even for small probes, I guess it could practically open Solar system for us. I mean, even if you'd need 20 days to Mars with this, it's still incredibly better than whatever we have today. Send some infrastructure before the crew, and send the crew in a small craft just for them, and I guess you're on to something.

  8. @Ethanadams I know what Tails is and what it does, I was just curious if you really have to use it, however now that I think about it, maybe it's better to avoid that question.. 

    @LN400 And CONFIG.SYS ... and endless wrestling matches with memmaker.exe to get Frontier (Elite 2) to work on my pitiful 486, only to realise it CAN'T work on EGA graphics :D

    Anyway, for Windows XP, it wasn't really that good until approximately Service pack 2. 

    Vista is supposedly ok with all the patches installed, but I really never dared to try it.

    Anyone tried IBM OS/2?
