[1.12.x] ConstantTWR


Recommended Posts

Just found this mod and decided to give it a go, but either it doesn't work with 1.9, Or I don't understand something. I had set it to maintain a 1.25 to 1.69 TWR during launch, and the stock TWR display and Mechjeb showed my TWR got to over 2.5 during the launch. I do have mechjeb installed, and was using it, but only the smart A.S.S. to control vessel pitch. I was not using the ascent guidance. Does using any function of mechjeb over-ride the mod, or is it only if mechjeb is controlling the throttle?

If Mechjeb is controlling the throttle, then you are stuck with that.

Can anyone else verify that it's working in 1.9 or not, or perhaps I'm just not understanding what the mod is supposed to do or how it's supposed to work? I may just be using it wrong too, completely possible.

Silly question, but did you activate it in the flight scene after setting the params in the VAB?

I activated it in flight, but I set everything in flight before launch, I didn't realize anything needed to be set up in the VAB

I'm not sure if setup in the VAB is required, that's just the only way I've ever done it. Never tried it with Smart A.S.S., though, so I can't speak to whether or not it's overriding Constant TWR. A simple test would be to try launching full manual control.

I don't know why It didn't work for me the first time i tried it, but it's working now. I've tested it everyway I could think of, mechjeb control, and not, I though maybe it was because most of my designs use engine clusters of different types that it didn't work, but no matter what i throw at it, it works just fine now. that first failure must have just been a random KSP glitch.
