Do you have any suggestions? Ah I guess the TST telescopes don't have a strong enough magnification then right? That's is what I'll have to change.

If Valentine is large enough to be seen from Kerbin with the naked eye, I thought it would be a "sure thing" to be able to see it with TST's telescopes... but it doesn't. As I have said, I can get the telescope to point in the right direction. But there is no image... I wouldn't expect any of the planets to be visible, which made me wonder if there's some thing, some component, I am missing. I could be wrong... and often am...

It doesn't looks like you need to add anything extra. Do you have scatterer installed? Maybe you are only able to see it with the naked eye because of Valentine's sun flare, and TST telescopes simply don't show sun flares through them?

Here's an image of what is seen from Kerbin's surface: Spoiler Something appearing that large in the daytime sky should have some sort of image in a space-based telescope. I didn't think to take a picture of what TST showed, but it is just empty space. And yes, I do have scatterer installed... but am not sure why that would affect it...

I wonder if it is the "OPM_ResearhBodies.cfg that makes it work with TST? I can't do it right now, but I bet some tinkering might... Anyhow, I am still running 1.2.2 for now.

Well given that you have scatterer and EVE installed, why don't you use the visual enhancements for Extrasolar? They should make the sun flare less ridiculously large. Either way, though, it seems like a problem of the amount of zoom the telescopes can do (I think). The ResearchBodies config wouldn't have to do with it because to my knowledge TST doesn't require ResearchBodies. Go into the part config of one of the telescopes and increase the "maxZoom" value to something like 20 in notepad. Come back to me and tell me if that works.

Yeah I've been trying to figure out how to manipulate contracts. I'll ask around and see if anyone knows how to do this. @StarCrusher96? In the mean time, I guess just don't do the contracts and only accept them once you can actually get there. It does mean that your available contracts will be clogged up with contracts you can do, but that is the best solution I have at the moment.

It will break saves but any future career will work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galileo Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Yeah GPP does the same thing. I made an mm cfg that give bodies the FGI they had before so people can continue their career.

Is there a particular reason why flightGlobalsIndex influences contracts? The FGI is basically a road map of sorts for contracts and a way to keep ship orbits persistent between updates. I don't fully understand the logic behind it, but merely putting your bodies in order is not the correct way to do it apparently (that would make too much sense). The fix though is to remove them and let kopernicus/ksp set the FGI for you. This definitely fixes contracts and their order.

Love the new homeworld and I particularly love the planet entirely covered by an ocean. I always wanted to do that with GPP but I couldn't find a place for it and I was afraid people would find it boring. I had some cool ideas I wanted to try for it. Maybe one day. The only bit of criticism I have is for the gas giant. I know you are going for realism but I feel it needs more contrast on its texture to make the bands pop a little more and make it a little more interesting. It's a really good start so far though!

xXshadowXx Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Hi, Not sure if this is something that can be fixed by the mod author, but solar panels are doing weird things. They seem to prefer rotating towards Valentine instead of the Sun, despite the fact the Sun is far closer? (This is while in keostationary orbit around Kerbin). Is there any way to change solar panels' priority of star choice?

The panels point towards Valentine even when Valentine is blocked by Kerbin and the Sun is in full view. Any suggestions?
