I hide my toolbar against an edge so, for me, putting MJ buttons on it would be redundant. YMMV. Yes, this is definitelly YMMV kind of thing. It depends on what you want and how you do things. Admitedly I'm in the process of figuring out my KSP GUI layout, so things are pretty much in constant flux. What does not change is I'm constantly running out of space to put all the information on my screen and still be able to control my crafts. Currently I'm solving this by toggling MJ windows depending on situation. Yes I could use MJ drop-down list for that, but: The tick fields are small and there is many of them (specially when you add custom windows), most of which I do not need. Plus the menu is sliding in and out, which takes time. Instead I have created multiple custom toolbars (size, position, shown depending on scene I'm in), sometimes containing just one button to quickly toggle certain windows on and off with single click. That is why I mentioned it in my reply to @chd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperwolf Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 maneuver planner Hohmann Transfer intercept only vs simple coplanar vs neither? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeq Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I tried to figure out why my FPS was low, i found two mods affecting performance badly, Rockets Sound Enchanment ant Mechjeb 2 (unfrotunately 20-30% hit) Could it be possible to optimize mechjeb on situations when you actually need it, rather than slowing game constantly? I Tried shutting down mechjeb controllers on ships but it did't affect. Only removing mod helped. There is couple modules i would need, there is lot of things surely which each capacity for nothing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple coplanar if you do large DV burn for moons and fix ascention later. But at low DV burn i don't use each of them to save time. Intercept only doesn't seem to do anything.

My interpretation (which I grant could be wrong) of intercept only is that it optimizes to intercept the target without taking into account the delta-v that would be needed to rendezvous. So you might get a smaller delta-v for the first burn at the cost of larger delta-v at the end. If you aren't going to do that end burn, then it saves a little. Probably not a lot of difference in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zxzx Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 What does it mean :"Uncaught exception (ArgumentOutOfRangeException):index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index" It appear when I use the Primer Vector Guidance, and Mechjeb doesn't take control of my vessel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMQ Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Ascent Guidance - Time to Orbit Being Long I was just looking at this entry in the manual https://github.com/MuMech/MechJeb2/wiki/Ascent-Guidance#time-to-orbit-being-long and wondered where I actually set the "intermediate altitude" as recommended. I don't see that option in the ascent guidance module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdodders Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I am having an issue with oscillations. Usually it happens during certain stages of launch (different stages for different LV, some don't have any at all). Recently it happened during docking which lead to the RCS supply being burned through very quickly as all the RCS is firing all the time. I have a couple of videos herehttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/dm9r9p1mjxs21hj/AABzp_CWLxzGTE2S6poVjVJ0a?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even by activating any function of smart A.S.S. there is a loss of electricity and monoprop coupled with an annoying wobble. I have noticed this problem since the release of build 2.12.0.0-1039. 2.12.0.0-1038 also works correctly on 1.11.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansAcker Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 My launch tests all look good so far (build #1042). Oscillations sometimes occur if the rocket has structural instabilities and flexes between probe core and engine. (Auto-)struts usually help.

vagabond77 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Yes indeed the vibration depends a lot on the structure of the ship, from the tests I had done the last few days I had not noticed it. For complex structures such as space stations it takes some time to find the right combination of (Auto-) struts to avoid crazy electricity or RCS consumption. Thanks.

Usage instructions: Use the button on the right side of the screen to access MechJeb window selection interface, and click on the buttons to activate the windows. The windows can be dragged anywhere on screen, and their position is saved and reused among all rockets. Manual Useful links and companions mods Manual MechJeb for All or MechJeb Embedded Universal to add MechJeb to all the probe and command module and use it without the parts. Also allow to unlock all MechJeb features from the start in career mode Small MechJeb touchscreen case an alternative model for the part An other model A video from speedio explaining the basic operations you can do with it (outdated but still useful): Another video, this one by tncm for AR202, but still very useful: Adding "eduMode = true" to the module will rename the SmartASS to SmartACS. You can use this Module Manager patch to do it. How to Install Manual install : unzip the zip in KSP GameData directory. You should have something that looks like that : KSP GameData MechJeb2 Icons Parts Plugins CKAN has all the release of MechJeb. If you want the dev version of MechJeb then : open CKAN settings (Settings => CKAN Settings) press the New button select the MechJeb-dev line, click OK and exit the options. refresh select "Mechjeb2 - DEV RELEASE" in the list and then "Go to Change" to install Common problems The MechJeb menu is not showing. First make sure you have the part on your ship (AR202 case in the Control section). Some windows protection and anti-virus can sometimes block KSP from loading MechJeb. You should install KSP outside the C:\Program Files (x86) directory. Steam has an option to change the install directory of a game or you can just copy the directory somewhere else. Some function are not present in career. Some function require to unlock some specific node in the Research and Development tree. Some other also require to upgrade the tracking station to level 2 (Game code restriction we can't do much about) Bugs There is two version of MechJeb available The main version that we release once or twice per KSP version The dev version that gets a a couple or release per month, week or even days. It may also have more bugs than the main version since new features are added The dev release gets all the new features and bugs fix and the main version gets them when a new KSP version is released (or major bugs requires it). If you experience a bug the first thing I advise is to try the dev release. You can read the change log of the dev release here. If your bugs don't seems to be fixed then please open a new ticket on the project tracker. Don't forget to include a link to your log (see here to find it and how to share it) and the version of Mechjeb you where using (shown in MechJeb Menu). Please send Suggestions/Bug reports here: https://github.com/MuMech/MechJeb2/issues There's a weird bug at the moment which causes an infinite loading screen, specifically with the Breaking Ground expansion where it says "Verifying Breaking Ground/Serenity".

Stone Blue Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) @GregSeventy7 are you on Firefox?... did it just update in past few days for you? I ask, becuase my FF updated to v85.0, and since then, when I clcik my forum bookkmark, it goes to an HTTPS warning, before I can click "Continue" button to load the forums. I guess FF just recently added an HTTPS-Only Mode, that if enabled, doesnt let you go directly to a non-HTTPS page without a warning... which, for some reason is happening to me, even tho the forums *look* lie they already ARE, HTTPS.... vOv If that seems like it could be your issue, reply to my thread about it, instead of cluttering up here with what would be an off-topic reply Edited February 3, 2021 by Stone Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
