Fox62 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Genuine question - is there anything that would stop someone from being able to use BDB v1.12.0 in KSP 1.12.3? Or is there some difference that means you should use the latest version of KSP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 1.12.3, because I'm too lazy to update. 1.12.4 and 1.12.5 didn't change anything that affect mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleta Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Hey, I am just putting some random ideas here (some may have already been asked/posted but I can't be be bothered to read all 1100+ pages) My first idea would be a MEM lander and or tug. I think someone may have already asked this so I wont go further. (also I am aware there is a MEM mod already, although I think it may be partially outdated) The second idea I have is possible LASS (LM Adapter Surface Station) parts? I have seem pictures of people who have made their own versions (kitbashes though), but I don't think we have any actually dedicated parts for it. Those are really the only ideas I have for now. BUT, I was wondering how to access the new MORL on the github? I heard that you guys had some MORL parts (and hopefully a craft file, as I suck at building) on the github, but when I checked (and downloaded the newest version) I couldn't find the parts. Edit: I did find a MORL part, it was only the gemini ferry module though Edited June 18, 2023 by Kaleta Edited because I wanted to say I found one part. Thats it.

RocketBoy1641 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 1199 pages. Man this mof has been epic....and continues to grow in how epic it is. Thank you to team BDB for the most amazing mod in KSP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dressian Exploder Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 This is probably outside of the scope of BDB, but I think a set of parts for an LLRV could be pretty cool... I can see parts of it being pretty lego-able, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's working perfectly now, also the parts are absolutely beautiful A few more things, one is a question; How do I turn off the engine ignitor mod/system? As a new player I find it quite hard to use rockets with this. (apart from the CSM service module engine, that has like 50 ignitors ) In fact, while I was doing my first Apollo recreation (which also is my first mun landing with parallax 2.0!), the LM descent engine decided to not ignite. Annoying, but it's okay I have 2 ignites left. It works again but I have to disable the engine because the first ignition was for de-orbit. I ignite it again to land, but the game decides my luck is too bad, so it fails and I had no ignitors left. I ended up landing using hyperedit but.... it's not the same as landing properly Sometime later I will try again (except this time with a rover and a science control station as I somehow forgot most of the things I took needed it ), but until then I will be playing around with the new voyager mars (as i found out that interestingly, most of it doesn't have the ignite mod thingo gizmo gadget...(???)) Oh and, just one little question about development, will there be a Grumman LSS rover? (There isn't much out there about it, the only pictures I could find were ones combining it with the LESA and/or ALSS, and a 1-man version mockup from the early 60s) There is already a large rover platform for the LM truck in this mod so I was thinking if that exists, maybe the LSS could be a thing? Also, I'll add some pictures below later, but in short it kind of looks like the 1992 project PLR. Quote \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess my brain just forgot that it was probably a mod included with the pack that BDB's download comes with . Also may or may not have been playing around with Voyager mars, or I guess Voyager Duna (Never really a fan of RSS, it's nice but stock system has it's funny little quirks). Also it seems that to post images I need a URL? Kind of annoying but I can just post images to discord and use that URL. Additional message: Parallax 2.0 is frickin' amazing!!!!!!
