HorizonFulcrum Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Thank you jrodriguez for the quick reply, now I can finally build that coastal gun battery without it falling through the ground. ***EDIT*** Changed visibility distance both in config and manually, still no effect. I am clueless as to why... Edited April 12, 2017 by HorizonFulcrum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete and install it. 3.Kill your KSP.exe if it is running. 4.Update all the files in GameData\KerbalKonstructs\NewInstances. Changing the VisibilityRange = 2000000 5. Start KSP 6. Spawn a new vessel and move it to a KK runway for example. 7. Spawn a new vessel and fly it straight to 50 km. Everything should work fine. I just did it Edited April 12, 2017 by jrodriguez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did it This solved my problem, but I think it caused another one, after using vessel mover, and moving father than 50 km, my crafts start to twitch around before exploding. Is that a bug with Physics Extender or should I consult the Vessel Mover thread? ***EDIT*** Pretty sure it's VM's fault, need more testing to be sure.

Woopert Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I see that this is included with BD Armoury - and this is a cool mod, no doubt. I am wondering if it will affect my save games - does it do this if you have active flights, for example?

What d'ya mean, it affects all active vessels, all it does is extends the stock loading range from something like ~2 km to 2000 km in the current mod version, however jrodriguez said that he is working on making that distance configurable.

the_machemer Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Every time I spawn a vessel my space station breaks in two. Anyway to stop this? I'd really hate to have to uninstall BDA just cus of one thing like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think am I wizard or something that can guess what exactly are you talking about? If you want me to invest my precious time analyzing your problem, at least you should report an issue on the issues section on GitHub explaining with 0. 0 ambiguities how to reproduce exactly your problem.

Look dude I don't need you to analyse my problem, I'm just leaving this here to see if anyone has run into something similar and has any quick tips. Considering that I'm just testing out you're mod, it'd be easier to uninstall and move on that to jump thru the hoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtleSt Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 when are you thinking of adding a system to change the values? because i am a bit tired of my game lagging so much when i only need like 50 - 150 kilometers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDestroyer111 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Well, the range used to be adjustable when PRE was integrated into BDArmory. Unfortunately, it *doesn't seem* to be adjustable now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Known issues Vessels landed on normal terrain can be destroyed when the terrain starting to get unloaded - this happens usually at 20 km distance. A workaround is to place your vessel on a static objects like runways, KSC, Kerbal Konstruct statics, etc. Just for confirmation, does this mean that I can say goodbye to my "Useless" class planetary lander probes ? I guess also that somewhat FPS impact is to be expected on low spec systems? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodriguez Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Hi all, I have published a new release https://github.com/jrodrigv/PhysicsRangeExtender/releases/tag/1.2.0 Added settings.cfg to allow adjust the ranges. RangeForLandedVessels: parameter that can be reduced in order to avoid landed vessels to crash into the terrain. (10 km by default), GlobalRange: For all scenarios different than Landed. (100 km by default) Now you can adjust the ranges using a settings file, by default I have reduced the ranges to 10 km for Landed vessels (I want to avoid people complaining about landed vessels colliding into the terrain) and 100 km for the rest. Of course you can always increase the range to whatever crazy value you want to test but bear in mind that you might see crazy things 28 minutes ago, vdr1981 said: Just for confirmation, does this mean that I can say goodbye to my "Useless" class planetary lander probes ?

Sorry but I don't really know about your useless lander probes The FPS impact depends on how many parts you have in play. Of course is not the same to have a 100 parts vessel that having 4 vessels of 100 parts each loaded at the same time. As usual this is up the user to decide if they are happy with the overall experience.

Used Car Salesman Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Thanks for adding the user-configurable option. I seem to have an issue with landed ships teleporting about 5 km into the air when I approach them from a distance outside of what I set PRE to. I get to within 10 km or so and suddenly a ship that was landed jumps to the same position, only a few km straight up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is one more of the list of wrong behaviours you can see when playing on the edge of what KSP supports. I can't really say all of this things are really mod issues because the mod code does not change any position "per se". It just uses KSP API methods to increase some distance number when different events are triggered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor22 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm having a bug where the parts kind of vibrate in place. They just kind of jitter around, like one of those "intensifies" memes: It gets gradually more violent (over a long time), until it starts to become uncontrollable. I have bd armory, and hyperedit, if that makes any difference. It also affects different parts of the parts. For example, different parts of the kerbal's face will be shaking. If it's, say, one of the M230 machine guns from BD armory, the barrel and the mount will be shaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor22 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 It's not when using hyperedit. It just happens normally. After playing for a while it starts shaking. It also happens more when there's more parts and more craft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor22 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I can't turn it on or off. It's a bug! It happens over time. It's a kraken-like bug. There's no deciding what it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
