[1.0.5] Harder Solar System (Kopernicus) v1.2.0 11/20/15 - Axial Tilt and More!

[Laminator]

Fantastic Mod!

Fiddling around with HSS x4 atm, it´s absolutely great. It gives some of the epicness that RSS gives without the need for alternative part configs etc. No more tiny silly single stage launchers to get a payload into orbit, finally :)!

 

Many thanks to the author for this great piece of entertainment and challenge!

Hi, @stevehead.

Could we wait update to 1.1?

This mod is awesome, and I can't play in stock system anymore.

[jo_jo_binks]

Unofficial update to KSP 1.1.

OPM compatibility included.

Other things (RemoteTech, EVE, career fixes) are unchecked. But i believe they should work.

Has anyone tested this in 1.1? I had some re-entry difficulties in 64K, hopefully not the same here too?

EDIT: I should add that these issues are likely because of Kopernicus being updated.

@NyanTurian, link to unofficial update is in my previous post.

[NyanTurian]

It looks like this works fine with the latest Kopernicus (1.01 yesterday when I tested), and re-entry is survivable in Mk1 Command Pod with the stock 1.25m heatshield unlike the fiery death in 64k.

Would you consider offering the Deep Space Network as a separate mod? (or does anyone know of something similar?)

[RA3236]

Since @stevehead has not been here since January, I think I might maintain it (just update it) as a public repository. Since I don't use 64k I will be dropping support for it in favor of Sigma Dimensions. If you have any objections to this please notify me. SD is simpler to support than a bunch of rescales as well as halving the size of the mod. This is only because I cannot be so good as to figure out some minor problems. And no, it may not be hosted on CKAN until I get it to work.

If stevehead decides he doesn't like those changes, he can revert to his state of the mod. I want the mod to be as easy as possible to maintain and have a good rescale customization.

[RA3236]

Added my own Github repository.

Well, the new version is here. If you want rescale get SigmaDimensions.

Feel free to do whatever you want with the mod. I've had a lot of life changing experiences over the past months. Barely have time to play KSP, let alone maintain mods. Would love to see my work built on and continued.

I'll take over it for you.

Edit: Although now that I come to think of it, this is very similar to my existing mod...

This is true, but I like this version better, seeing as how Laythe still exists in it and it's 100% compatible with the scope and vision of the other Kopernicus pack I consider essential: Outer Planets Mod.

I love OPM as well, and I am pretty much done with implementing it into my mod, all I need to do is work on things like science values and descriptions.

Made a few videos of my actual HSS x 4 walkthrough. I'm still on 1.0.5 waiting for all mods to be updated, I'll probably move to Kscale 6.4 + HSS axial tilt config...

Hello, people!

I am just unable to find the option for switching the KSC which I'm launching from. I don't have KSCswitcher, so I guess this is the mod that shows the available KSCs as red dots in the Tracking Station.

If this is not the mod that causes that, could anybody tell me which is it?

If you're using Remotetech, that's probably what is creating the red dots--I'm guessing there is a config file that this mod uses to tell Remotetech where to put them tho.

Yes, I'm using Remotetech, so these are that. But, you mean, Harder Solar System lets you launch ONLY from this site? I guess it has the inclination of the moon and solar system, but still...

What leads you to suppose that those dots are available for launch? Harder Solar System, as the OP documents, adds additional ground stations for communications. There is nothing in the OP to suggest it adds launch sites.

Frankly, I haven't tried Harder Solar System, but what damerell said (quoted below)...

... and some familiarity from RSS/RO's later releases, leads me to believe you'd need to have KSC switcher to be able to launch from other sites.

I used to work with KSCswitcher, and I thought these were launch sites, because the KSC was changed when I tried HSS. But the question is: Is this really the only one?

And the question is really answered in the OP by the complete lack of any mention of additional launch sites or a mechanism for switching same.

Testing this in 1.2.1, tilt appears to work, and moving the KSC does too, but I don't see other ground stations or DSN with remote tech installed.

I don't have any clue why this is, I haven't played with RT in ages. I don't actually support this mod, so I can't help you, sorry.
