My entire computer slows down to painful speed. I'm meeting the 8gb RAM needed, but it would seem that the computer cannot handle the mod nevertheless. I don't think this is a problem with the mod itself... thoughts? Ryan When you load kss for the first time it is possible that your game crashes. I'd advice to use kss basic for a first attempt and look if the game wrote the cache files in KSS/Cache -> Sometimes KSP crashes after the cache files for KSS are written. Afterwards this can't be an issue. Edited May 6, 2017 by StarCrusher96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cache is full of what I can presume only to be the names of planets in the form: (planet).bin As the original download does not contain these, I can presume this is the problem? I am only using the basic version at this time. Should I just clear these out and reload, or will the files just be re-written into that location? Cheers for the quick response Ryan EDIT: I cleared out the cache and reloaded, the game crashed at the same point again but only a small handful of .bin files are in the cache.

Voodoo8648 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I'm in the process of creating a Delta-V Map for KSS. After running different scenarios, here is an example of the minimum dV and time requirements needed to travel from an 80km LKO to a full orbital insertion of the Kirb star system at an altitude of the edge of Kirb's SOI. I do plan to make graphic visual map later, this is just a preliminary example for travel to one star system. Note: these are the MINIMUM dV requirements, and the minimum time required based on the dV used. Shorter arrival times are possible with more dV used (obviously). These figures do not factor in gravity assists from other celestial bodies. This is point A to B. Kerbin SOI Escape = 965 m/s 8 days until kerbin escape and next maneuver Inclination Burn = 8771 m/s 110 days until next burn Kerbol Escape / Kirb Encounter Maneuver = 4423 m/s 812 years until Kirb encounter and orbital insertion maneuver Kirb Orbital Insertion = 1831 m/s Total dV = 15,990 m/s dV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can delete all the systems in KSS/KopernicusFiles except from the Kerbol System and VanillaPlanets (dont delete stars!). Some stockbodies are moved to the outer planets so you need at least Vanilla and Kerbol to play kss. Edited May 7, 2017 by StarCrusher96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Betelgeuse Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 What's a good amount of RAM for this mod? I noticed I'm getting some bad micro stutters and I don't know if it's because of my RAM or my HDD getting filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AR3S_TGL Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Finally in a stable orbit! As Helium engines didn't circularize well I had to resort to gravity assists. One more should bring me to an elliptical orbit of the inner planets. Lyrne looks good! Then I will have done a tour of the Kerolon system.

Creating a delta-V map requires a boatload of Math work and simulations to get the average transfer times and delta-V numbers for the various map points, and the artist capacity to make a decent and understandable graphic image (or set of images). In the spoiler is Galileo's delta-V map. That's just one star with 27 worlds. But here we're talking 10+ stars with 80+ worlds. That's at least 6 maps (some stars are close enough to share a map's space). Spoiler @StarCrusher96 I voted for compatibility... which is why I'm here.

JadeOfMaar Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Muse has plenty looks to it, too, if you haven't seen GPP. Faithful to its root in GrecoRoman culture it intends to have you thinking--but not about metal music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
