Running KSP 1.4.5 and IFS 1.4.5

fuel switching is not working for me on stock tanks.

FSfuelswitch does not even show in the part descriptions.

I was just about to post the same thing. It was working in the last version (as far as I recall). When I installed the new version after the recent KSP update I can no longer fill stock tanks with just LF/LOX/LF+LOX. It only has the option to change the size of the tank.

I hope this can be resolved as I rely on having a full LF tank on some of my craft (some already in flight).

Cheers!

Is this bad? I honestly don't understand all the nonsense in logs.....

I'm not using cryo-engines or cryo-fuels or deep freeze, so I don't know what the point of all this nonsense is....

Also why does the mod have so many empty part configs? Are they necessary for the mod to work?

Small bug to report - on many if not all stock tanks where IFS allows for switching to xenon, resource amounts end up being 1 xenon per 1 unit of LF/OX volume in the tank originally. This is off by a factor of ~18-57 (depending on which stock parts we're supposed to take as models). For example: in the FLT100 (100 LF/OX volume), switching to xenon results in a tank that holds 100 xenon. It should hold about 5700 xenon going by the stock PB-750 (or whatever it's called).

My guess is that somewhere in the patches, the Xenon resource value was set to 1 * the original LF/OX volume...

While trying to fiddle with the save files to try to work around the problem described here (ship vanishing when using closed gascore engine), I noticed something weird -

Every time the game is saved there's an additional "part = InterstellarSphereTank" line in GAME->PARAMETERS->SCENARIO[name=ResearchAndDevelopment]->Tech[id=specializedFuelStorage]

When I just noticed it there were already over 500 identical lines like that.

Could that be the cause for any problem?

Perhaps, InterstellarSphereTank is currently defined both in KSPIE and IFS, in next release the KSPIE version will be hidden

I'm having problems with hydrazine. I can't select it as a fuel in any tank. is this a known problem? anyone else has it?

Do have you unlocked high-performance fuel systems? It becomes accessible in most generic fuel tanks only after high-performance fuel systems is unlocked.

For me this is a really hard mod to play without. I love the fuel switching capability it adds to so many of the tanks I use... It's really a necessity for large complex space ship builds.

But this cryo thing is not for everyone... every single IFS compatible tank is spammed with 7 entries pertaining to Cryostat. Video in spoiler.

Could you please add the ability to easily remove the Cryostat stuff?

I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants IFS to be just IFS.

I do have high performance fuel systems but still no hydrazine. maybe it is something else i am missing.

I confess this save was a vanilla save before and I already had the whole tree unlocked. I was actually trying to keep playing that save.

maybe that has something to do with it. i don't know.

on a fresh sandbox save it works fine.

Correction, Hydrazine requires unlocking Specialized Fuel Storage in Mono fuel tank (due to the extremely high toxicity). Alternatively, with high-performance fuel systems unlocked you could use LqdAmmonia or LqdMethane. Sorry for the confusion.

Edit: I noticed some inconsistencies, I will correct them in the next release

Hi Guys,

 

For some reason, I cannot change the Fuel for the stock tanks. I've been reading the posts and I'm seeing that it is a known issue with the mod. Does anyone know how to fix it? I'm looking for a way to "patch" the issue. If anyone knows which part of the code is causing the conflict and how to edit those lines, it will be much appreciated.

 

Also thanks to @FreeThinker for his amazing Interstellar mod!

Why in stock fuel tanks and in interstellar fuel tanks, values of baseResourceMassDivider is different , and how to make them equal? In old version of IFS, I could delete line:
 @MODULE[InterstellarFuelSwitch]:NEEDS[RealSolarSystem]
    {
        %tankResourceMassDividerAddition = 12;12;12;13.333333333333;8.7272727273;12;12;12;12;12;12
    }
in IntegrationLiquidFuel.cfg and IntegrationLiquidFuelOxidizer.cfg, but in current version I`m not found this line in configs.

Hello, here is a log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5sdzcbltobydaoj/saves for LoadingScreenManager.1.output_log.rar?dl=0

Inside I found a bit of this:

Would you so kind as to take a look into this for me please?
