None of my stock LFO tanks are able to switch to mono prop even though in the module on the part info it says they will hold monoprob. I only get the LFO, LF, and O options. Any thoughts?

The same issue.

I have also B9 bart switch installed, which causes strange behaviour - I dont see any IFS controls until I change tank type by B9 controls. Then I can see IFS controls, but they perform the same way - cycle only through LFO/LF/O types.

Had a quick twiddle with this in 1.2-pre, noticed my spaceplanes get some free ΔV...

Dry masses of tanks are slightly lower with IFS installed, e.g. Mk2 rocket fuel fuselage goes from 570Kg dry to 500Kg with IFS patches installed.
Intentional?

Note: this patch appears to keep stock dry mass intact (it's the one I was using in 1.1.x), looks like yours scales everything based on the rocket tank mass-fractions... negating the mass penalty of the lifting-body Mk.2 tanks.

Keep the hordes from bugging me.

I installed this today but am not getting a context menu when I right click on tanks or any indication that it is installed. I downloaded using CKAN and already had tweakscale. The version in Ckan is 2.1.4 and I installed both the Switch and the Core.  

 

Is there a possible conflict in the following mods?:

[X{ Science!

CapCom- Mission control

Community Resource Pack

Contract Configurator

Contract Parser

Contract Reward Modifier

Contracts Window +

Field Exp

Kerbal Alarm

KAS

KER

KIS

Landing Height Display

Module Manager

Navball UP

Progress Parser

Smart Stage

Station Science

Stock Bug Fix

Transfer Window Planner

Trigger AU Flags

TweakScale

Waypoint Manager.

Further details to my above post, I do have one tank that I can change the contents of: 

 

'The Interstellar Gas Tank PB-X50R'. All other tanks seem to only have stock fuel.

Version 2.2.2 is not working for me with KSP 1.2, there is a message on startup that the mod is only compatible with 1.1.3.

 

The included Module Manager is also not the newest, but I get the same result with MM 2.7.1

 

this is the latest 1.2 version updated via steam.

[drtedastro]

Need to check your links.

the bottom link, for the 2.2.2 1.2 actually downloads 2.1.4

If you go to the 2.1.4 link, in the right hand side you can select the 2.2.2 and it IS the one for 1.2

Just for your info...

Cheers and thanks for all of the work.

The pre1.2 topic is actually newer than this one...

I'm interested in adding USI-LS resources (Supplies & Mulch) to the list of options for IFS tanks. Has someone done this already or could you point me to where I can learn to make this change myself? I looked through  the .cfg files and it wasn't clear where I'd make such a change.

Thanks!

Is this on purpose or is it a bug? I have noticed the price for fuel tanks has doubled not even including the price for the fuel in them. 

I have the interstellar mod installed and tweak scale.

No it's a bug, I already fixed it and added new tanks by Eleusis La Arwall

@FreeThinker

sir your last post and the op page says 2.2.4 but the link in curse says 2.2.3?

[FreeThinker]

I'm afraid Curse is a little slow with reviewing today

Edit: it is available now

Edited October 15, 2016 by FreeThinker

[Jiraiyah]

got it thanks

[Pesho]

Hi again. It's about the price of the tanks and fuel. Now the tanks cost the same but without the fuel.

For instance the biggest tank "Kerbodyne S3 14400" in stock you get it for 13000 with the mod you get it also for 13000 but without the fuel. With the fuel it goes up to 19600.

Edit: This part is about the Interstellar mod

When using the "Laser Plasma Particle Accelerator" things become very very lagy.

Today I discovered another bug where you can make billions of money in matter of minutes. All you need is 12 MW of electricity, ISRU Refinery, minimal quantity of Ammonia, minimal quantity of Uranium Tetraflouride and as many empty tanks of Uranium Nitride you can put ..... and with a magic wand once you hit the Uranium Tetraflouride Ammonolysis you get all of the empty tanks full with Uranium Nitride which is very expensive .

Also the antimatter in the small antimatter bottle is with negative value. You can get 1 empty large antimatter container 8 full small antimatter bottles. Launch, transfer the antimatter from the bottles into the large container, get rid of the bottles, recover and voila you get 8 mil.

I changed the fuel from the left nosecone tank, small tank and the middle big tank without a problem, but as soon as i right clicked the right nosecone tank this happens:

 

Find the corresponding Log-file here

After that no right-click menu works anymore (not only tanks, all of them). When the vessel is saved and you leave the VAB and enter it back again (and load the vessel) right click menu work again. You can even click the right cone tank. but after a few other right clicks on different tanks the error occurs again.

 

I'm not even entirely sure that its fuel-switch fault. If not, tell me, so i can report that issue to the related mod-post.

mm, what what I can tell from the log is that the bugs manifest in stock but is probably triggered by IFS. It's kind of too bad this is reported now and not durring 1.2 open beta testing phase, now I need a way to get arround it ..

could you explain in detail what steps I need to make to reproduce the bug?

I made a little picture guide here. While i have a lot of (part-)mods i stuck to stock-parts for this.

If you need anything else (e.g a mod-list, other/more log-files) let me know. 

[FreeThinker]

Alright, I think I know least 2 method of solving the problem ...
