Great mod, it makes my vessels look fantastic, however I have noticed that when I loaded the Stocklike Station Parts Expansion Redux parts mod that this mod turned the windows of the hydroponics module silver, so you can't see the plants. So I was wondering if there is a way to add an exception to the config file so that it doesn't make those parts shiny? Thanks in advance. V.

I can confirm that it doesn't work on KPS 1.0.5 or at least it didn't for me. I tried it on a clean KSP install and the only mods I added were E.V.E, Kopernicus and Module Manager. KSP did load but was very slow and when I went to the tacking station and tried to view the planets KSP froze and I had to use task manager to quit. It's a shame as I really would like to try this, I really love the idea of Procedural planets.

I tried it on 1.0.5 and I can confirm that it doesn't work, or at least it didn't work for me. Used a new installation of KSP and added E.V.E., followed by Kopernicus and Module Manager. No other mods were used and while KSP loads OK as soon as you go to the tracking station and try to view the new planets the whole thing freezes. I tried forcing OpenGL but this did not help. It's a shame because i really would like to try this one. I love the idea of procedural planets. They look amazing too.

Installed a new version of KSP with the KSPRC Rennaisance Compilation and started the career mode from scratch again and my first impression is Wow, it looks so much nicer. even though my Laptop has a lot of power I had to ditch a lot of my mods so I am basically running the stock game with a lot of graphical enhancements, plus mechjeb, chatterer, hot rockets, cool rockets, mapsat and Dmagic Orbital science. Getting large payloads into orbit is going to take a bit more effort without KW rocketry which if I'm honest is a bit of a cheat. Just managed to get my first ship into polar orbit and the view of the Aurora is really stunning. Absolutely love the new suits and textures of ..... well everything. But I'm looking forward to the 64 bit v 0.24 so I can start loading some more of the more memory hungry parts packs. The link to the mods are here. If you decide to install it make sure you follow Proot's instructions to the letter and have all the dependencies in place before installing his mod or it won't work. I don't think I will be playing with regular KSP again. Even though it looks really nice it's not even close to this. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/76972-0-23-5-KSPRC-Renaissance-Compilation-artworks-remake-V-0-1-514-HOTFIX-19-4-14 A view of my first Aurora from Orbit. <a href="http://imgur.com/Y3UPG6s"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/Y3UPG6s.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a>

After successes on the Mun and Minmus decided to try for Duna with a lander and (manned.... er Kerbaled" Rover. MK4 Duna lander was renamed Valkyrie MK4. Realised that to send such a large Lander / Rover to Duna and back I would need a decent sized Launch vehicle. Lander can just about make Kerbin orbit by itself. I realised that I'd also need to refuel before making the trip or the boys would not be coming home. Testing the lander. <a href="http://imgur.com/Gk5PVTy"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/Gk5PVTy.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a> <a href="http://imgur.com/OFah1j0"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/OFah1j0.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a> After a few tweaks, waited for correct planetary alignment and sent Valkyrie 4 to rendezvous with my tanker. Refuelling in Low Kerbin Orbit <a href="http://imgur.com/fE8nz6e"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/fE8nz6e.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a> Off to Duna, Kerbin and the Mun disappearing fast. realised that my craft is lacking in Solar panels, only the lander has panels and if they get knocked off I may be in trouble. Oh well too late now. <a href="http://imgur.com/seI10Di"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/seI10Di.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a> Approaching Duna <a href="http://imgur.com/e2FyaAZ"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/e2FyaAZ.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a> Aerobraking at 14000m not much pyrotechnics as this atmosphere is very thin <a href="http://imgur.com/5fRakTQ"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/5fRakTQ.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a> Bob's IVA view of the Duna surface <a href="http://imgur.com/jDepsHb"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/jDepsHb.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a> On approach Ike rising under Kerbol. <a href="http://imgur.com/WmYnCAP"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/WmYnCAP.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a> Final approach hopefully we'll make it over the lip of the Canyon Wall. <a href="http://imgur.com/fiKTxC0"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/fiKTxC0.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a> Landed!

Now all I have to do is get them home.....

@ Frank-G. That is a very cool ship. Not the prettiest thing I've ever seen but very sci-fi in a gritty & realistic, Arthur C Clarke / Ridley Scott way. I like it a lot. What Mod are you using for the giant heat Shield? I've just managed a landing on Duna so my next challenge will be something a bit further afield. Are you using deadly re-entry?

Today I did my first successful aero braking manoeuvre around Duna and went on to land without a hitch. Well not strictly true I landed hard, the lander bounced and tipped over. Lesson learned and F9 had me back in orbit about to start my descent burn. Changed my landing site to a more interesting location and the second attempt went without a problem. Bill and Bob are now merrily careening around the red dunes of Duna in their ANT rover. Good thing I had 3 solar panels on the thing because I lost 2 when it flipped coming down a slope too fast.

Hi Indy Welcome to the wonderful world of KSP. yes it's a life changing experience when you get into it. Keep practising docking it's great when you can do it without a hitch. I've just about mastered it now but still hit F5 before I attempt to dock and sometimes have to load my quicksave to recover. Look forward to seeing some pictures.

Ahhh that would explain why it doesn't work, I haven't tried in Sandbox. If I want it sooner I'll have to modify the parts.ini file to bring it down a few tech levels. I sort of feel that it is something that would be achievable by less advanced Kerbals. Thanks for the reply.

Tried to Install the Docking strut yesterday but for the life of me I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? I thought maybe I needed to purchase it in R&D but I can't find it? Am I too low in the tech tree? I ended up using normal struts but I have brought a trunk full of KMS strut connectors with me in case I need to stop a wobbly vessel.

aceassasin. I know exactly where you are coming from, I had it exactly the same problem, though a few decades ahead of you so the slang and "cool" clothes have changed. No idea what Snapbacks are. I went to 9 different schools because my parents moved around a lot, always having to make new friends and never really fitting in. I was teased and bullied frequently because I was never one of the in crowd. My last High school was in a small no name town in Scotland and The day I left High school I walked out the front gate, gave the finger to the building and let out a whoop of delight. I have met some of the so called cool kids that made my life hell at school and most of them are pretty pathetic now. They have crappy jobs if they have jobs at all, have mundane tedious lives and have never been farther away from home than Ibiza on Holiday. Ignore them and remember that you only have a few years left and then you'll probably never see them again. Study hard, get the grades you need to get to collage and then the world is any damn mollusc that you want. Make sure you travel when you are young, because later it's hard and don't settle down until you are ready. These people that are making your life miserable now are the real losers. You should pity them because I guarantee they have no imagination. What do you want to do when you leave school if you don't mind my asking?

aceassasin, it's very probably you are a lot more mature than other 16 year after all you're playing KSP which requires you to think. But I'm afraid hatred of High school is just perfectly normal behaviour for most of us. I hated mine. But don't give up, think of it as a way to do what you really want to do and keep studying as long as you can. The alternative is a crappy job that you hate even more than High school. the trick is to get paid to do what you are passionate about. Unfortunately I only managed to do that for a short time, still I can't complain too much I have a job that gives me half the year off. :-)

Thanks I put 6 legs on it because in testing it only had 4 and it kept tipping over. Even landing on a slope on the Mun I managed to keep it upright.

Hi Agent30632, 10 and playing KSP, wow respect. Mind you most 10 year old kids I know are better at programming the TV than their parents. My Son is 10 and top of his class in Maths but he couldn't get his head around KSP. I might have to try him again. Keep playing KSP and keep studying and one day you could be director at Nasa.

Danke philly-idle. Now my ships should be stable in flight.
