Sanchez_1 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 When the Altas update comes out will we be getting both the copper and silver CCB? (as seen below) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as seen below) That's actually all the same - the coating turns from green to silver to copper as it's exposed to sunlight+oxygen (as I understand it) Testing going poorly. Question - we're almost ready for 1.11 release. Do we hold it off for a week to make sure these parts are included? Or save it for a point release/hotfix.

septemberWaves Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I'd say wait until these parts are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, so could it still get its own separate color switch? Like the Delta IV tanks have the weathered variant, if not that's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we hold it off for a week to make sure these parts are included? Or save it for a point release/hotfix. I'd vote to wait a week to conclude your testing. I was going to post a bug report last night, but I've been resolving most of my own minor issues with 1.11 dev over time (Version Update October 12th). Such as the fuel change for the Able, Ablestar, and Juno engines. At first I couldn't figure out why my designs (Vanguard, anything with an AJ10) suddenly had zero thrust. Or why I can't even get Vanguard to orbit anymore (Aerozine is weak and I apparently cannot launch correctly). I also wanted to experiment with the Metholox Extras, but it gives a laundry list of errors and I removed them for now. I'm still getting B9 errors on startup about texture issues with some parts and color palette changes, but I presume these will be ironed out by release and/or they are from mod conflicts (because, I have a dozen part mods, the same as all of us! The error could be a coincidence and not from updating to 1.11 dev). It doesn't and didn't stop me from making Viking, Vanguard, and Jupiter-C rockets last night. Overall I look forward to playing with the new LEM configurations. Is that Skylab "LEM" @KeaKaka was using one of the new parts of something of his design? As always, thanks BDB Team for all your excellent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fuel change is an optional patch, you don’t need to install it, like everything else in bdb-extras. if you can post a github issue with your ksp.log with the errors you’re getting though, I can take a look. It does seem like it’d be some mod-interaction or installation issue, as I don’t have any of those issues using any of those patches.

Get it to the point where you are comfortable with it. The only thing that takes longer than work is rework. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyJ576 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 @GoldForest, Mercury Titan I to orbit from LC-15: Spoiler Not perfectly circular at 100 km, but pretty close.

Also Hypergolic H-1 powered Saturn I would be lower performance than H-1 powered I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried Titan I first, that didn't work. Titan I upper with Titan II lower didn't work either. Tried a Ablestar on top of a Castor boosted Redstone, that didn't work, so fully decided to put some power behind it and go with Delta 900. Finally made it into a low 110 x 100 km orbit. Fun, but have you done mercury-atlas-able? I have more cursed designs... Maybe I could share them.
