Hello there, I've got a piece of information to be possibly added to the first post: How to change mouse polling rate in linux temporarily without rebooting There is a special virtual file to checking out and setting this parameter. You must work with it using terminal being root. Read value: [root@localhost~]# cat /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/mousepoll 0 It says 0 (zero) which means 1 milliseconds (almost zero) of delay between system's requests to mouse which means good aiming in games. But in KSP it also means that while right mouse button pressed game tries to redraw screen 1000 times per second which is impossible. That's why KSP lags when rotating camera. If it says 8 or 10 you should not experience said issue. Set new value: [root@localhost~]# echo 8 > /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/mousepoll And re-plug your mouse to apply the change. Now interval between polling is set to 8 ms (125 times per second) and KSP will behave much better. I'm still in the search of method to change polling rate instantly and without raising my back from the chair. Just thought: I can simply buy cheaper mouse. I'm pretty sure linux can have two mice connected at same time. Just swap them on the table when want to play KSP.

While TACLS can be modified to match new MTF behavior things like ablative shields should not be affected by fuel tanks, modular or not.

While I have prepared a new .ckan update for mft5.4.1 I do not want to send a pull request due to that issue with TACLS. It hit me too

Whoops. My bad. Will be fixed soon.

taniwha, I added your Modular Fuel Tanks to CKAN database, I hope you do not mind. I marked it as supporting 0.90 and as "stable" because it works fine for me. I'm subscribing to this thread and will try to update the metadata when you release a new version. Thank you for your efforts!

I made ckan metafiles and filed a review request to ckan folks.

Hello. I'm using mod install/update tool CKAN. I found Talisar's Tanks aren't in database so I made .ckan file and filed a request to add it. The nice thing about CKAN is that it can automatically install dependencies such as FirespitterCore, ModuleManager and ModularFuelTanks. And yes, once you update FirespitterCore and ModularFuelTanks this pack will work with KSP 0.90.

Those keys are used by game anyways so you'd better not use them. However I feel I have too many buttons on toolbar now and DRE one is rarely used. I'd have a setting which hides DRE button anywhere except KSC screen.

I made an investigation for you Yes it is true. Automatic interplanetary station Venera-8 was using traditional scheme with drouge and main chutes and had touchdown speed 8.3 m/s. Since it was able to withstand 335 g during reentry constructors decided it had too soft landing. Next pair of apparatus Venera-9 and 10 had only drouge chutes (to have more time for atmospheric analysis). After dropping spherical heat shield craft looked like that: (source: http://www.laspace.ru/rus/venera910.php). The flat conical thingy on top (similar to our FL-A5 Adapter) is called "aerodynamic blind" and acted as a sturdy chute. I found no data about impact force but both Venera'es were considered landed "soft" and successfully performed science program. I've found an original 1976 paper (rus), see the second .djvu file here: http://sovams.narod.ru/Venera/9-10/ki-xiv-5.html As we can see here (data collected during descent), the chute was cut at 50km, no typo there: Line and scale marked H represents height, horizontal axis is time h:mm. Paper also said the terminal velocity (for <~1500kg lander with ~2m diameter) before touchdown was ~7 m/s. Such a soup. Further read in English: Don P. Mitchell: First Pictures of the Surface of Venus

@Arch3rAc3 you don not have to do anything unless you explicitly set up your KSP to start in 64bit mode (either in steam settings or by clicking on KSP_x64.exe). Most of 64 bit OS can handle 32 bit software.

Hello. I have an issue with FAR. Two of them actually. First issue: Center of lift indicator moves off center if I move wing. Craft file (Stock parts+FAR): http://rghost.ru/58944964 How to reproduce: 1) Load craft 2) switch to 2x symmetry mode with angle snap off 3) pick thw wing and put it back where it was CoL after wing moved. Part of log after loading SPH with said craft: http://pastebin.com/JD9Fe6WJ Full log (very long one, also I loaded old save with fragments of modded data while mods being temporarily moved away, and after that I created new clean save and made tests within it): http://rghost.ru/58945141 Second issue: That craft I linked above rolls counterclockwise for no reason. How to reproduce: 1) Lift up. 2) Turn off SAS, FAR utils, get rid out of trim 3) roll to any sensible position (-45...+45 degree) and leave controls (maybe you have to trim pitch) 4) watch plane slowly rolling counterclockwise.

I didn't quite understand you here but for me DRE on "normal" (current) and "easy" settings is better than vanilla KSP reentry mechanics.

Because someone wants something better than vanilla.

There is no ingame information telling the player why 1500 km/h is fast, while 1300 km/h is slow. That's my point. (chutes do survive 1300 km/h ~ 370m/s)
