Camera state is not persistent, and the only variable-driven element of the pages are the text overlays, not the backgrounds. I just heard about Avionics Systems, kudos to you for making a successor. You probably already have a persistence solution, but if not, I figured out a persistence trick for props some time ago, and use it with my internal monitors. You can find the relevant part modules here if interested. Specifically, the internal plasma screen and prop state helper. Looking forward to seeing MAS in action.

Lunar Sea Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I just started with RPM and it's very cool - definitely a game changer! Some quick questions though... I got RPM by way of the HOYO Command pod What's the best way to look at those screens while IVA? I've noticed that they are rarely anywhere near eye level of the Kerbal, so it seems I'm always looking at them at some off-angle. Is that just how it is? Is there just the one camera part or are there others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there just the one camera part or are there others? Screen placement in an IVA is a decision of whoever configured the IVA. If they're in awkward or difficult locations, you should take it up with whoever made the HOYO Command pod, assuming that pod isn't recycling one of the stock example IVAs that ships with RPM. RPM includes just the one example camera part. Last I checked, the Hullcam VDS external camera parts have configs that are compatible with RPM, so that provides you some additional options. I've seen a couple of other parts with RPM configs here-and-there in mods, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Sea Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thanks that's very helpful. Can the screen buttons be mapped to keys? Particularly the arrow buttons for selecting a reference part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalparadox0 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Is there anyway that this mod will allow players to set up maneuver nodes from the IVA? Or is there another mod that allows this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there another mod that allows this? I'm sorry! To the best of my knowledge, there are no mods (not even this one) that allow creation of maneuver nodes while in IVA. But it is very fun to learn how to navigate while in IVA without maneuver nodes. There are many Youtube videos that explain IVA Only missions (including a few by me).

FlyinWhale Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I need some assistance... RPM is not showing up in IVA. I have downloaded ModuleManager and placed it in GameData as well as checking if the .dll is in the correct spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeboyt Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Make sure that the JSI folder is in the GameData folder. Try deleting the JSI folder from the GameData folder and replacing it with a newly downloaded version (fresh install). I always open the .zip download then drag & drop the mod folder (in this case JSI) to another window that has the GameData folder open. I've always been successful in doing this and I believe it will fix your problem. Also, make sure ModuleManager.x.x.x.dll is also in the GameData folder (although the location isn't that critical.) Let me know if this works. Edit: Also, make sure that you don't have a GameData folder inside GameData "\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\GameData\JSI" is a common mistake. The correct path would be: "\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\JSI" Edited January 21, 2017 by nukeboyt Another thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyinWhale Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Nope, not working. I have checked if JSI is in the correct spot, redownloaded and tested, yet RPM still not showing up. I tried removing all mods, leaving only ModuleManager with JSI in Gamedata folder but it's still not working. Could it be I'm using KSP x64 bit that's why it's not working? I'll try downloading the x32 bit and test it out. Will get back soon! Edit: Tried with 32bit version. Still not working I feel stupid saying this but... I was testing using Mk1 Inline cockpit. GOSH my bad, it's working! Thanks for the help. Edited January 22, 2017 by FlyinWhale Follow up info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troot Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Getting into IVA-only play and loving it. Having a blast learning how to do everything from the MFDs. One question though: is there any way of transferring fuel from IVA? That's literally the only thing I have to leave IVA for and it would be awesome to find a way to transfer fuel without leaving IVA, even if it's clunky!

enjoystastycheeses Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Installed the mod and I enjoy it immensely. Took some screenshots to show a friend to try and entice him back to Kerbin: Launched up the game last night and threw Jeb in to fly (the previous flight/screenshot was Valentina) and noticed that the cockpit is a bit different: Swapped back to Valentina to confirm I wasn't crazy: Has anyone else noticed this inconsistency with pilots and RPM? It looks like Jeb is a bit taller and looking at this from a different POV? Edit: I should add that this is the Mk1 Cockpit Edited January 25, 2017 by enjoystastycheeses Added the cockpit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The workaround I discovered was that by clicking on the left/right windows I can move the camera around to access the buttons that are obscured.

That's really weird -- many of those cockpits/HUDs were designed pre-female kerbals, weren't they? Why would they suddenly be off for Jeb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of, how do i make interiors? id love to have them in the inline cockpits as those are the aircraft ones i use most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to install Unity and the KSP PartTools (and install the PartTools). After that, load an interior, add props, save, and enjoy. (although that last sentence makes it sound much simpler than it really is - the IVAs I make for myself take 40+ hours to get tuned to just how I want them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
