I do not have the button nor does the display pop up when I create a manuever node on 1.12 https://imgur.com/a/CP4hz3M

This mod don't use "Toolbar Controller"! What is that mod that provide the windows "Toolbar Button Visibility"?

Anyway, did you install using CKAN? Because here it works just fine!

Yep. Installed via CKAN. And it's Blizzy's toolbar that gives the toolbar button visibility. Some mods use blizzy's and some use the stock toolbar. Toolbar controller is made by linuxgurugamer to be able to select where mods can go on which toolbar. It shouldn't be messing with preciemanuever.

I don't know! Try to press 'P' in the MapView, with some maneuver node present (is the shortcut to open/close the windows)!

You could try 'Precise Node'!

They do almost the same thing!

They really don't  Being able to "snap to ap/pe" is a HUGE functionality, along with hitting the "circularize" button. Precise node lets you MANUALLY edit the node fairly well, but it doesn't have the quality of life buttons (like even the inclination turning buttons) that precise maneuver does.

[Dominiquini]

I prefer this mod too, for almost the same reasons!

But I think that Precise Node let you snap the maneuver node on Ap/Pe. I think is hidden and need to be activate in the options! And it also have keyboard shortcuts that helps a lot! But for all I know, it don't have the circularize button, the change inclination button, the ability to use the big gizmo on a separate window, or keep changing the values while I was holding the +/- buttons (I don't need to keep clicking!)...

I never launched 1.12, so no idea how this works there. Also, I'm not sure I'll have time for an update in the next ~couple of months. But I can look into logs, maybe there is something simple there.

[theJesuit]

The great functionality that I use is the snap yes, but also being able to assign keys to functions, such as circularise - I assign as * on the keypad, and finally the keypad to fine tune.

Peace.

[rmaine]

I haven't spent a lot of time with KSP 1.12.1, and certainly can't claim to have done exhaustive testing, but this mod seems to work fine there for me so far. I do prefer this one to the alternatives. One feature I find very convenient is the "turn orbit up/down". Sure, I can do that manually, but it is so much handier this way. I particularly use that for getting to specific contract orbits, where there isn't a target that would allow me to use, for example, the "match planes with target" of MecJeb2. I also like the display of next encounter information, because aiming for a suitable next perigee is often one reason I'm fine tuning a maneuver.

@Morse If you have the time and will, I have some suggestions:

* Integrate this mod with the stock alarm clock. Or at least remove the 'Alarm' button if the user don't have the KAC installed

* Add shortcuts to the feature 'snap maneuver node to the previous/next orbit'

Thanks.

IDK it just won't appear. I have it installed via CKAN along with many other mods. Here's the log file. It throws an exception in the log file literally every frame from precisemaneuver. So clearly something has broken. Just not sure what.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/zn8kswri5wls8t7/KSP.log?dl=0

Ok, there is this line in the logs:

[ERR 12:08:17.224] ADDON BINDER: Cannot resolve assembly: PreciseManeuver.Unity, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

That means something is wrong with the unity assembly. I guess some rebuilding is required. But then again, it works for  some people, so maybe there is some other problem. The bad news is, that to fix it I need a proper dev environment, which I won't have for some time (I just moved to another country).

Dang. No worries though. Just gotta settle for not having your mod for a while I guess  Congrats on moving!

Is this the kind of thing another player who has a bit of coding experience could look into (not me)? Or do you have certain licenses that would prevent that?

Congratulations on moving! Unless it is commiserations, in which case that.

This mod seems to be incompatible with JNSQ for some reason, but only in 1.12. 

When I updated KSP to 1.12.2, everything worked, except for Precise Maneuver. I thought that was because it isn't updated, even though it works for some other players. When I wanted to try something without JNSQ today (I have two gamedata folders, the one without JNSQ is exactly the same, just with the JNSQ folder deleted), I noticed that it worked again. And yes, without JNSQ the Precise Maneuver button shows up again, with JNSQ it's gone.

Do any of the other players having problems with Precise Maneuver here use JNSQ? This seems very weird, why would two unrelated mods be incompatible with each other, and only in 1.12, since it worked previously? Or maybe they are somehow related? Idk, I know nothing about how KSP mods work.

yes, the same thing, JNSQ, ksp 1.12.2. Though  I haven't tested not in JNSQ.

Huh, so, after looking at your log I tried deleting JNSQ/JNSQ_Plugins/Kronometer, and that made Precise maneuver work again. My best guess is that, since Kronometer does something with the clock, that messes with Maneuvers. There were no obvious problems after removing it, but I don't know exactly what Kronometer does, so not sure if deleting it is a good idea. But if I get Precise Maneuver back, I'll take the risk for now.

The version of Kronometer which ships with JNSQ has issues - there's a fix detailed in that thread. As for what it does, it allows different day lengths than 6 hours or 24 hours (JNSQ has a 12 hour day) and does the time and date handling for displaying it. Either Precise Maneuver can't handle dynamic day lengths / year lengths, or Kronometer's issues under JNSQ may be causing it. I'm using it successfully with the patched Kronometer on my own custom 2.7x scale game, with no problems so far, so I suspect it's the latter.

When I install Kronometer separatly, with the 1.12 patch, neither Kronometer or Precise Maneuver seem to work. Either I'm stupid and just did something wrong, installed the wrong patch or something, or there's just a problem with my game. Oh well, I guess I will just play with 6 hour days, maybe Kerbals invented a new system where each rotation of Kerbin is 2 days, who knows.

[Krydax]

Just for what it's worth. Kronometer in JNSQ happened to be the issue I had, and LGG pointed me towards a more unofficial patch that seems to have fixed things.

@Morse

• Feature Request: AN, DN buttons are set to the Equatorial AN and DN, when there is no target.

 

UPD.

• Feature Request 2: support of the the stock Alarm Clock App ("Alarm" button)
  my quick fix is there https://github.com/yalov/KSPPreciseManeuver/releases/tag/Unofficial.2.4.5
  but I will not make PR, because it is doesn't support several nodes, or KAC/ACA switcher
• Feature Request 3: Option for disabling tooltips.
  for example, it hides inclination there
