Telescope functionality


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I posted this in the general section the other day and on a whim. I did a tutorial for how I was able to photograph through the telescope connector.

Please give some constructive criticism if any on the tutorial as I will be doing more in the future. Possibly modding the game as well.

I think I will make a telescope mod at some point in the future with zoom or some edits of the camera rig to make the telescope function properly.

till then this is just a plain camera rig under the telescope model.

I have made a quick tutorial for you gents to enjoy.

you will need the Camera pack http://svn.mumech.com/KSP/trunk/Releases/CameraPack_1.0.zip

then you will need the Probodobodyne diy kit Requires 0.14+

lastly something to place the strut on like a fuel tank or any body piece.

I poked around in the .cfg file today and tried changing stuff... I didn\'t break anything but nothing changed in the camera functionality. I believe since this camera thing is a plugin based mod the actual zoom setting is probably in the .dll file for the mod, I have no idea how to open that file though :( any help in making this camera zoom able would be appreciated.

Something that would be good for a satellite is a module that keeps the spacecraft/satellite pointed toward Kerban. Like the SAS, it keeps the spacecraft pointed in the same direction.

MechJeb does that if you use the -rad option if you are using the Mech Jeb orbital stuff. The +rad option points you away.

and

do that.

Unfortunately a camera with small FOV (high magnification) does not give an enlarged view of a planet unless the camera is close (<=~60km) to it.
