Real Ships - Version 0.1 Released!

[SaturnianBlue]

I've been working on Prince Of Wales with RealShips, but is it intentional that the part contribute negatively to the cost (In career mode, would you make money?). (Notice the -67,598,470 funds number.)

If people are interested, we might consider a career mode with missions, a tech tree and realistic costs/rewards. Until then all costs are total bovine excrement.

Kerbal Joint Reinforcement is updated for 1.1, KerbPaint works but is still a bit wonky on Windows, doesn't work yet on Apple & Linux. Editor Extensions Redux is fully functional. Vesselmover needs an update.

Oh, well I guess I need a fresh KSP install because they all bug my game when installed, along with many other mods

It's always a good idea to make a copy -or multiple copies- of a fresh install into a different folder and install your mods there.

I'm on 1.1.0 right now, but the problem is that my Prince Of Wales hull is jittering and shaking out of control.

Yes that's something that needs to be solved. Am I right you've maxed out the armour? The problem is the mass increases but the joints don't scale with it, I think I need to have a chat with ferram4 about creating a custom version of KJR specifically for Real Ships. Right now the only solution I can think of is reducing the amount or armour.

Another problem is that BDArmory weapons heat up the core of the part instead of the skin, which at this moment makes armour ineffective. Maybe BahamutoD would be inclined to rewrite the code but we might need to request it.

Yep, I've got armor on.

@Azimech 

The problems with exploding/shaky ships continue, though this time I took out a massive portion of the armor, just how much is left is down in the bottom there. The album also shows the forward superstructure exploding, but in other trials the whole superstructure and the deck below it were taken out.

Any potential fixes?

I'd like to analyze it, would you like to put it in a dropbox or something? You use the same mods as with you other ships?

Yes, i'll send you the link later today.

[SaturnianBlue]

@AzimechHere you go!

By the way, i'm using KSP 1.1.

[SaturnianBlue]

So any updates to the ship analysis?  I still haven't found a fix.

I had some small craft that were shaking badly and I added struts to stop the shaking, not sure if this will help with a large ship.

@AzimechI was able to mostly fix the shaking to death issue, but another issue remains: The ship won't reply lower into the water. It just floats along on top! Do you have any ideas for what might be happening? The problem isn't restricted to Prince Of Wales too, it happened on the Hood, and I don't really know how it got fixed.

@AzimechIs there a way to get both this mod and WW2 Warships to work together? Because in both 1.0.5 and 1.1 one mod or the other refuses to work.

I could make the mass of the keel variable in the editor, that should solve the problem.

Real Ships was planned to be a successor on top of WW2 Warships but I could change RS so they can co-exist. But this would need some user manual input: changing the ID's of every part into a new one. Since RS is at 0.1 I'm inclined to look for the possibility. After publishing Kerbal Piston Engines 0.1 I'll continue work on RS/WW2W.

Is there anything I can do right now?

Any idea how this works with RO? the cargo ship looks useful to actually get to the equator for a nicer launch. (as in, stick a rocket on a ship and sail to the equator to launch).

Welcome to the forum!

I'm not familiar with the abbreviation RO, the cargo ship needs an update but it can probably handle the load of a simple rocket with launch facility.

Unfortunately not. I want to publish Kerbal Piston Engines first and then get back to WW2W/BS/RS.

My ksp game does not want to have this mod work. I put the mod in my gamedata folder but the game does not pick it up. Is there any chance that you could get this mod put on ckan?

[HorizonFulcrum]

Sorry for grave digging...

Azimech is this mod compatible with 1.3, if no, do you plan on continuing support for it?

I would love to know as well.

I have been sinking out my ships for the past 6 hours, but the one included seems to work fine in 1.3.

pls let it work
