ISA mapsat on KSP 0.90 help

[maceemiller]

Hi everyone. Quick question if I may. I have tried to install ISA mapsat x4 on to KSP 0.90. I attatch the dish yet all I see when I hit the icon on the bottom left of my screen is a grey rectangular box on my screen? I have tried extracting to ksp, moving to ksp etc, yet every time the outcome is the same? Is it me or the wrong mapsat?

IIRC, ISA Mapsat is no longer being developed?

[EDIT: It isn't.]

If that's the case, it will not be able to find the biome information, as that was moved to a different location in 0.90.0. I'm not sure if there'd be any way to fix it short of editing the source of the mod and recompiling (assuming the license allows you to do this [EDIT: It doesn't (at least, you can't publish any modified code).]).

My suggestion would be to switch to SCANsat, which is in current development and is full compatible with 0.90.0.

Added info after research.

As AlexinTokyo correctly surmised, ISA MapSat does not work for KSP 0.90, and is no longer being developed/maintained.

SCANsat is the alternative that works in 0.90.
