Well, as it has been said, there is no fix as of this moment (2017-05-03)

I have found an issue with the Tsar Bomba (Translates to "King Bomb"). When ever I arm and release it, it keeps exploding like a normal fuel tank. (Playing in 1.2.2)

For me, none of the nuclear weapons are functioning.

Do you have the patch linked in thread a page or so back, that I believe is still the fix, not sure not checked this week

I did not catch that. Thank you very much. Works just fine now.

I have a suggestion. In the old explosions there was a shockwave (white cloud at the outside of a nuke) and I'd like to see it brought back.

I'm having issues with this mod. From what I understand I have installed it correctly (pic below), and the missiles and bombs I can select and place on my ships in-game. Except when I launch a missile or drop a bomb, the explosion is just a normal explosion. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Try re-installing the mod.

You installed it wrong, inside that folder is a GameData folder, and you want to take the contents of the gamedata folder out of it, and put it into the KSP GameData folder (its the same for every mod)

Hi your install looks ok to me , have you tried it with the temp fix dll linked in post below

Hi, I have an issue where when I fire the missile it doesn't actually decouple but the rocket fires so It blows up my plane. Is this a well known issue and is there some way to fix it?

Well this is a new one I have never heard before.

Are you sure you are putting the missile on the rail, and the right way (Not half inside the pylon, or anything)

Yeah, I tried using both the attachment modes, different rails from other mods, and I tried offsetting the missile off the rail to prevent clipping.

There are 4 nodes on the BD rails, bottom, right, left, and the node for attaching the rail to the plane. Try placing the missiles on the rails via surface attach, rather then using the nodes. I have never heard of anybody having this glitch before (If its even a glitch), so you might be doing it wrong, post screenshots of the missile on the rails

[XOC2008]

Also what missile are you using?

[UnlawfulWaffle]

Every time I drop a nuke, even if I am very far away from the mushroom cloud, my ship overheats and blows up. Is there a way to fix this?

It appears that this is something that is actually universal to all missiles, so it's not just North Kerbin. What's weird is that the missiles work and fire normally on most of my planes. I usually don't use the nodes for placement so it's odd. 

 

The plane with 4 engines and the giant intake under the nose is the one where missiles don't decouple, while the MiG looking one does work. I have a few other planes with the issue of missiles and bombs that don't decouple but this is the most recent. I just hope there is a good identifiable reason the specific planes don't work so I can fix and avoid it later.

 

Edit: Sorry guys, it appears an auxiliary power unit from Red vs Blue continued caused the missiles to fail.

Nukes are after all dangerous, how far away is very far away? it matters .   As for steps toward not getting toasted again,  check the  cfg for the weapons blast radius and be a good deal further away than that when it goes off.  One of the nukes has a blast radius of over 7KM so local is not going to cut it

I checked the cfg file and the B61 bomb had a blast radius of 0. I'm guessing that means forever. It doesn't make sense because if I am 20 km away from the B61 and it explodes I explode immediately.

Edit: The B61, B83, TSAR Bom-a, and Castle Bravo all have a blast radius of 0 meters. 0 meters? Either it goes on forever or the blast is nothing. I can't escape it?

Checked config files, found more with a blast radius of 0 meters.

Nope, they don't you are failing to understand the arrangement of cfg modules,   B61 blastRadius = 4910,  B83 blastRadius = 7470, Castle Bravo  blastRadius = 11300, so that seems considerably more than zero.

You only have to use one of these nukes once to realize that all is not right with, their operation, the effectiveness, the area of effect., the blast and heat functions,  I'm sure when H designed this code that he did not intend for objects at ground zero or close to, to remain undamaged while the damage at the periphery is way out of proportion.  

No slur or disrespect intended to H or the mod ( as  he's a very clever mod maker, smarter than me )  ,but right now, as gameplay goes, and  for those who are interested in setting up combat scenarios, the nukes are fairly useless ,  as a toy and a bit of fun fine, but expecting them to contribute to an enjoyable combat scenario is a little optimistic right now.   They certainly do not fit as a low yield battlefield nuke, not with areas of effect , spreading , as far as i've been able to tell in excess of 20KM

But then there's a reason only two have been officially used in anger, in the history of warfare, they have nasty side effects. SO perhaps they are just perfect as they are, and actually serve as a timely reminder of why nukes aren't really fun

 

Thank you for the help!

Edit: Oops, I didn't scroll down enough. I see it now, thank you.

Edit 2: This is what I mean, it doesn't make much sense that it is 21 km away and my plane explodes immediately after the nuke goes off.

Um, I don't know why, but none of the explosions, even for conventional bombs, work, at all. At all. At all.

Yeah, I experienced same problem before a 2 months, I fired cruise missile armed with nuclear warhead (Tomahawk so W80) and flew away. And it hit me 80km from the impack instantly destroying my plane. No idea what happened that day.  It was Tomahawk from your PEW mode btw.
