Capt. Hunt

I downloaded a couple off of the Steam Workshop, ended up having to completely rebuild them to actually get them functional. Maybe some of the stuff on KerbalX would be more reliable.

No, it is I! Perhaps @GRS shall appear.... now!

nuts

We need this. One question though that I don't think has been asked yet, Does it work both ways?

Frankly, I like being able to customize my gameplay, I don't want to be shoehorned into a harder game because someone thought that it was "too easy." Personally, I want to be able to enjoy a game, if some feature is getting in the way of that, I want to be able to turn it off or set it to a lower level. This is why when I play a game with a campaign mode, like CoD, I almost always set it to the easiest difficulty. I want to enjoy the story, not get killed every 30 seconds. On the other hand, a lot of the features that KSP has added over the years are turned off by default. I can see where a new player could get confused by that, especially if they don't take the time to explore the game's options. As a compromise between no options at all and the current system, I would actually suggest that new options just be enabled by default. That way new players won't miss them, and old players can play as they like.

I think you're missing the point of this mod. It is supposed to change the way Kerbin's atmosphere and oceans scatter light, to make it look more realistic, that's why it has a "milky" appearance compared to the too clear cartoony look of stock.

It should be noted that, if you have it, the Dessert Launch site is 6 degrees below the equator, so due east launch will automatically put you into the same inclination as minmus without needing a plane change or a dogleg.

I wouldn't use a craft that you want back. Remember, anything you send to Kerbolar escape velocity is going to need almost that much delta-v to get back to kerbin.

yeah, go to the input tab in settings

I saw a review of it on Xplay on G4, way back in the day.

ok, that does help make them way more visible, still haven't been able to find a large crater though.

lol, yes they are enabled, and I started a new game when BG came out. I am also in NW Crater, one of the biomes suggested by the contract, although the wiki does say the mun large crater can spawn anywhere on the mun. I'll look for that. How is this Surface Feature Finder supposed to work?

Is there a trick to finding the new surface features? I've been driving around the mun for hours looking for Mun Large Crater to complete a contract, but I have yet to see one. I've seen a few Mun Stones and a couple of the smaller Mun Craters, but no large craters. It doesn't help that the features seem to blend into the background from any distance over a couple hundred meters. Is there something I'm missing? Anything that might improve my chances of finding one? Someone on Reddit suggested making a low orbital pass over my landing zone, but it seems like that would run into the same problems that I'm having driving on the surface, plus the added hassle of only having seconds to spot potential targets before my craft passes over the horizon.

IIRC, a while back someone did work out what kind of propellant LFO was, based on the ISP, although I don't recall what the answer was. In my headcanon though, it's equivalent to a hypergolic, like Aerozine-50/Nitrogen Tetroxide, as it doesn't simulate any of the traits of a cryogenic, like boil-off or extreme cold. I use the Cryogenic Engines mod to add those.

can you please use normal formatting so your posts are easier to read? If I understand your questions right, yes you want an antenna on your scansat. Either a relay or a direct antenna will do, as long as it has the range to either reach Kerbin or bounce off of a relay that can reach kerbin. The same goes for any vessel with an antenna, as relays will still work as direct antennas. I'm not sure why you're asking about GPS, since that's not included in this mod. I suppose there's no reason you can't use the same vessel for both purposes, but generally the ideal orbits for a GPS/GNSS constellation aren't going to line up with the ideal orbits for your scansats.

thanks! It does seem to happen for most if not all crafts, so I will try reinstalling GT.

I need a little help, my Gravity turn plugin has picked up some bad habits. I'm not sure what I did, but the last few launches have been extremely steep, to the point where the final stage doesn't have enough Delta-V to circularize. If I understand the tooltips right, the AP hold settings should control steepness, but they don't seem to make a difference in this. How can I correct this? If i reinstall GT, will it reset the plugin to the default profile?

that's what I was thinking, but I don't think I have Interstellar Fuel Switch installed right now, and I can't think what else might be trying to handle fuel type switching. I will post the log as soon as I get a chance.

I've been getting an error pop-up for B9 partswtch on the loading screen for the last couple of updates. I'll post a screenshot when I have a chance, but it mostly looks like errors that say the resource LH2 is being handled by more then one module, or something like that.

Not this time! thus... @The_Cat_In_Space!

You know this thread is over a year old, right? there've been several updates since then, and I think they finally deprecated the part completely.

LOL, I could have sworn I saw that exact shot as a concept render of the real thing.

Scatterer and planetshine help, but I think that's an artist's rendition, not a screenshot of anything in KSP.

IRL, the SLS versions of the RS-25 are lighter and cheaper versions of the ones used as SSMEs, so it makes sense that the mammoth is not exactly equal to 4 vectors+engine plate.

RTGs have built in Radiator fins.
