They suffer from the wheel rotation thing that happened between .90 and 1.0. Other than the sedans and rover colliders not working with kerbals, they are functional. (You can play bumper cars with them, but your kerbal will walk right through them.) Well, they slide everywhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect sedan. Will come in handy for my next video series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damaske Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I have tested and found that the station parts of this mod "DOES WORK" with "KSP 1.4.1" and "The Making history DLC". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smotheredrun Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) @Nazari1382 , @BlaZe119, @panarchist, @Capt. Hunt, @shdwlrd and pretty much all others Thanks to some help in (no particular order) from @blowfish, @DStaal, and @Apaseall we now can have zero Module Manager errors upon KSP start up. Here are the updated MM configs for the KSO Community Patches, nothing else has changed. The updated patches address some syntax issues relating to parts from both Orbiters. I don't believe there were any MM errors with the station parts, but I've been wrong before - let me know if there are! There is a "Quick Update Instructions - Read Please" file included in the archive. Please read that before doing anything with the GameData folder. I've also included a ChangeLog for 1.3.1 file in the KSO/Configs folder. Please have a look at that and let me know if anything should be addressed. I have been using the Super 25 in 1.3.1, in both clean and modded installs. So far no problems. (Still haven't solved the "texture load error" regarding the "blank0.dds" file that gets thrown in the KSP log on start up.) Thanks and again, let me know if there is something that needs attention regarding the configs and I'll see what I can do. EDIT: I saw that there was one file that still was throwing an error. I have fixed it. Restored the link. Edited April 14, 2018 by smotheredrun Removed link because I goofed on one patch. Hold on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Hunt Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) awesome, I was wondering if you got this working again. Does it have any issues in 1.4.2? Edit: I checked it in 1.4.2, it works, but it does suffer from the same annoying RCS bug that everything else had when 1.4.1 was released. From what I've heard there's an easy fix to that. Also, I'm not sure if this is a Smokescreen issue or a KSO issue, but I'm not seeing any rocket plumes Edited April 15, 2018 by Capt.

Also, I'm not sure if this is a Smokescreen issue or a KSO issue, but I'm not seeing any rocket plumes hmm... Haven't tried it in 1.4.x yet. Just did a quick forum search for smokescreen and saw your post. I'm wondering if it's just simple renaming of the model names? erm nope..? Here is what I have in the "Engines_with_comment.cfg", located in the KSO/Configs/Patches - Super 25 folder: Spoiler // Low atmosphere exhaust expansion effect @EFFECTS { @powerflame { @MODEL_MULTI_SHURIKEN_PERSIST,* { %logGrow { density = 0 8 density = 1 0.7 density = 10 0 } } } @powersmoke { @MODEL_MULTI_SHURIKEN_PERSIST,* { %logGrow { density = 0 8 density = 1 0.7 density = 10 0 } } } } } Now in the KSO/Parts folder, the "omskso.cfg" has this in the "EFFECTS" section of the config: Spoiler powerflame { MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST { name = flamethrust modelName = KSO/FX/omslow transformName = smokePoint emission = 0.0 0.0 emission = 0.05 0.99 emission = 0.75 1.21 emission = 1.0 1.25 speed = 0.0 1.70 speed = 1.0 1.65 energy = 0.0 0.33 // Same for energy energy = 1.0 0.99 // Same for energy fixedEmissions = false } AUDIO { channel = Ship clip = sound_rocket_hard volume = 0.0 0.0 volume = 1.0 1.0 pitch = 0.0 0.2 pitch = 1.0 1.0 loop = true } } As you see, "MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST" is in the omskso config. Does the patch "Engines_with_comments" not tell KSP to use smokescreen instead? Or am I waaaayyy out in left field here? (This is a whole new thing for me.. used to music and power tools ) EDIT: "MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE_PERSIST" is also in the part configs "super25enginekso" and "super25boosterkso" EDIT EDIT: Have you tried Real Plume yet? Does it overwrite anything that Smokescreen would do? Edited April 16, 2018 by smotheredrun Stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Hunt Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) I was just about to find out. I hadn't gotten around to trying the Super25 yet, so it's possible that it already works. I'm no coding expert either, but from what I can tell that might only change the Super25 plumes. I also think I've got the fix for the RCS: Edit: ok, so before instituting Sarbian's fix on the super, it still doesn't have plumes, so that's not what that script does. The fix does seem to be working on the KSO though. As does the RCS fix. Edited April 16, 2018 by Capt. Hunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Hunt Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 ok, so I am having trouble getting the super25 to launch with Gravity Turn or Mechjeb. MJ immediately flies it into the ground after liftoff. GT gets to the end AP hold time and then flips out and goes into an irrecoverable tumble, no matter what I set it to.

Still working up the courage to update to 1.4.x. Going to wait until 1.4.3 comes out to be honest. Buuuuttt.... I'll have some time (maybe) this weekend to do an update for a test save. If I can, I'll look at it. Never really flew with either Autopilot though. I've used Mechjeb just for the readouts. That said, let's start with Mechjeb: When setting up an ascent profile, how does MJ deal with the throttles? Does (or can) it throttle down at a certain point?

Does (or can) it throttle down at a certain point? It can't unless you script it. The problem with MJ is it can't handle the sudden center of thrust shift. Also, reduce the roll settings for the RX wheels about 60%, and turn off the roll gimbles for the SSME's and boosters that will help with the roll issues. You may have to fuss with the control surfaces too. Edited April 18, 2018 by shdwlrd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ does throttle back automatically if you set it not to exceed certain conditions, such as a certain Max-Q, engine temperature or acceleration, and you can set a minimum throttle level. GT has similar functions, and also will reduce throttle to hold a set time to apokee. BTW: @shdwlrd , the Super25's rudders also have RCS. Also, each of the RCS thrusters on the Super25 are tuned, when you replace ModuleRCS, make sure to check the ThrusterPower line. Edited April 18, 2018 by Capt.

To keep everything organized, I'll make a new archive of patches (copy paste) for 1.4. The RCS fixes can go right into the new archive, and I think I know which file, but I'll need to test it. Can you also send me what you have for your patches? I want to take a look again at whatever your most recent changes are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
