"Realer" realism overhaul

[axelaxel]

Hi! I am planning a playthrough with the amazing Realism Overhaul mods including RSS. However I would like to add that little extra flavour and also limit my view to IVA, EVA and map view. So no magically floating camera next to my probes etc.

I want to wonder what the H happened when my probes stop sending telemetry (ie blows up) and I want to see Mars for the first time through the eyes of Jeb when he EVAs.

So my question is: What do I need for mods except RO (with required and recommended installed) to make this work?

I'm thinking rasterprop, Hullcam, action group extended (since I want to try and avoid having to click the vessel for science experiments)

Really appreciate your help here!

Thanks!

I love this. The sense of achievement you're gonna feel setting foot on anything!

Sadly I don't have much to suggest in the line of mods that u haven't already thought of. I've not tried to play KSP in a pure 1st-person mode before but I'd imagine you'll have a fair few issues with needing right-click/tweakable menus that u can't get to.

This mod should fulfill your first-person EVA needs (found it while roving Curse). It is a bit old though...not sure what to do about that. maybe you could do this on a 0.25 game and have FAR, DRE and the like?

I'm not sure if it would work with RSS but MechJeb. Without mapview you're going to need computer guidance (NASA does).

Install KOS, that will help

Probe Control Room mod will add "IVA" to a probe, compatible with RPM and HullcamVDS

Just leaving a quick note to let y'all know I've moved this thread over to General Add-On Affairs, since it deals with a request for information on add-ons. Carry on

I'd suggest Kerbal Engineer. Provides identical information, but removes the cheapness of an easy autopilot. If he wants an autopilot, he can make one with kOS. If he wants more detailed info, he should get VOID which provides even more info.

My list of suggestions for a more realistic playthrough (not adding beautification mods of any sort).

Mod Suggestions:

Failure Mods (Boring without em, too predictable) (Kerbal Launch Failure, Entropy, KerbalMechanics, Dangit)

Through the Eyes of a Kerbal/FirstPersonIVA

ProbeControlRoom

RPM

Romferer (and docking alignment indicator (not the navyfish plugin))

Tarsier/Cacteye telescope mods

TextureReplacer (with custom heads)

EVAEnhancement

and I'll get more soon.

I this compatible with 1.04? Doesnt seem to have been updated for a while.

Wow, I am loving kOS! Very real feel - will be perfect for controlling the probes.

Great list, thanks!! Hullcam has first person IVA if i am not misstaken?

Great idea with the failure mods! Will be an incentive to use KIS for spare parts (and an incentive to be completely terrified all the time)
