MJ is great for a lot of things but for ascent I highly recommend GravityTurn Mod. Just use the default settings to start but set the target altitude to the value you want an tweak as needed to get more efficient launches. Edit: Just checked and it is confirmed working in 1.8 Expand That worked a treat, managed to get an orbital-weight CSM to 250km orbit (JNSQ) at 50deg inclination with only a bit of SM fuel used.

Expand Works well enough. Besides, Saturn revamp will fix that. And honestly, the redstones around the Juno are just like .1 meter too wide to line up with the s-ivb. The only real problem I have is getting the right length. I had to add the tank extensions to make it long enough to look right, but its longer than the actual modeled first stage, so I settled for longer than shorter.

Expand I've found there's a glitch in KSP where something will be highlighted as if it has been selected, but it's not. This was in 1.7.3 as well, so I doubt its a 1.8 bug. @subyng Click the option again and it should fix itself. If that doesn't work, try changing the option from the in-game menu.

New official craft files are coming soon and there is a very detailed build guide on the wiki here too: https://github.com/friznit/Unofficial-BDB-Wiki/wiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would changing any option in the game menu change the sound for 1 part? Its literally just the F1 engine from this pack that has its sound much louder than any other engine.

oniontrain Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Is there anything that could cause all the mod antennas other than the Gemini ones to stop working mysteriously? There aren't any differences in the moduledatatransmitter section in the cfg files that I can notice that are wrong or could be causing problems. Here's my modlist, every BDB antenna except the gemini (Leo) ones have no data transmit capablility. It's missing in the right click menu in the VAB, and craft equipped with them are unable to transmit data. Things were working fine earlier but I'm not sure what I might have installed to affect them An antenna with two modules (like one combined with a science experiment or a solar panel) have the other module working fine but the data transmitter one not working.

oniontrain Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Ah, that's the problem then. They have ModuleRTAntenna and not ModuleDataTransmitter. I don't have RT installed though, why might module manager do this and is there a way to disable it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Something is using FOR instead of NEEDS and triggers assorted patches for RT, which you don't have. You'd have to locate the offending patch and remove it. Various mods had this problem in the past, so I'm not sure which specific one could be doing that.

oniontrain Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Deleting the BDB remotetech compatibility patch seems to have fixed the issue. I'm not sure what actually caused it in the first place and will need to dig through everything. Which I will probably not get around to doing because KSP is working again, which prevents me from doing pretty much anything productive.

PeteKonrad Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I've noticed that the antennae used for Skylab will refuse to accept Extend commands until a crew docks with the station. Is this expected behaviour and I'm just missing something, or a bug? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
