The Minmus Derp Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Why? I LOVE It. @Gameslinx Add moons to Thelai. The rings wouldn't have pretty gaps without moons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinxerH Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Looks like im going to have to postpone the colonization for Niebos. Well then off to Olu'um! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niebos' atmosphere now contains oxygen again for the new update I had to completely redo Niebos' scatterer atmosphere because it was way too bright, had issues transitioning to its scaled version and the clouds were a horrible blood red colour at night, which has now been toned down a fair bit. The general colour of the atmosphere has been preserved, but it's been darkened from orbit along with its config points adjusted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract system just isn't very good so you'll have to ignore it Any ideas on how to allow for picking other launch pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a feature in 1.4.2 (maybe earlier?) there's a little drop down under the 'launch' button in the VAB, letting you pick one of three launch sites.

Likely either a raise or depression in the terrain which looks weird as i haven't adjusted the sites at all, except KSC. 20 minutes ago, JinxerH said: When will this update be available for CKAN I'm aiming for some time this weekend/monday, but due to my exams it could be later than that.

AmpCat Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'm looking at the delta-V map and the original post, and trying to find some information on where the boundary between high/low orbit and atmospheres are.. or is that something to discover through experimentation?

AmpCat Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Just now, Gameslinx said: That information can be found in the tracking station. Planetary information is displayed there. Sweet! Man, this mod is a ton of fun. Nightmare is officially my favorite moon. So far. Looks so much like a real moon, despite the strange shape. And it is a nightmare to try and get a good orbit around without crashing into it. The flare from the sun makes it look beautiful, and coming in to land off the equator, the rings in the sky are just amazing. Need a launch site off the equator! See if you can get that desert site from KSP in a nice desert area on Gaia! (if there are any) Oh, interesting note about the desert launch site on Kerbin. It's located just right to send you into the correct orbital plane for Minmus, if you time it right. Maybe a similar setup on Gaia might work?

I think I read it's at 6 degrees? Scott Manly talked about it in a recent video. It's the same inclination as Minmus' orbital inclination. It's actually the ... Dessert runway. Cause you can go there to the dessert moon, Minmus. So, match its latitude with Gullis' inclination, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the plan - a prograde burn from that latitude when launching at the correct time of day would align you with Gullis' plane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its terrain needs an update, since it's been around since last year and I don't like the appearance of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
