[1.3.1][WIP][BETA] Kerbal Combat Simulator 0.1.0!

[Guest]

A while ago, I was watching a DCS tutorial (mind you I don't have it, but I like it). Then it came to me "why not turn KSP into a DCS type simulator" After all, KSP has the BDA addon, tutorials, scenarios/missions, and, best of all, you can build your own custom airplane. So here is my proposal :

A pack that you place in a clean KSP install with select addons (RBDA, FAR, APP, etc.), tutorials, manuals, scenarios, and built-in crafts made by me, and anyone else who would want to help, for those who dont want to bother with building their own airplanes. The manuals would be either in KSPedia or .pdf format. Another thing to do would be to add the BDA displays to IVA cockpit screens. I would also modify parts into new parts (e.g, AIM-9 without warhead for tutorials). Now, it is ready for the first beta release. If you have any suggestions/questions, ask here.

Nice work

Nicely laid out release there, @dundun92. You mention that you have included "Mouse Aim Flight, All rights reserved, specific permission needed". Since All Rights Reserved (ARR) means that redistribution is normally not allowed, please can you confirm that you have specific permission to include it with this pack?

Also one small thing. Instead of writing "contributors", can I suggest you write "Mod List" or something like that? I say that because "contributors" makes it sound like each of the people in that list are actively suppporting the pack by sending you their mods.

Ok, will do. thanks!

[Matuchkin]

Yes! IT'S ON!

Instead of having to distribute a modpack, you can make a "metapackage" for CKAN. You can then solve part-balancing with Module Manager files.

Also, have you seen this? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRCNVzCVrRC4yY2Nyd4_BWA/videos

Dude thanks for the mention!

I prefer doing a modpack actually, and I don't use CKAN personally either. I generally consider it a bit buggy. I never got BDA to work with it. I will think about it though. And, yes, I play FlyOut Alpha.

[Guest]

Just a heads-up that this may not be 1.4 ready for a while, since so many different mods are used.

[Guest]

So I've decided to put up a poll, for suggestions about the content/development you would like seen in KCS.

We can totally release another mission, then do a huge announcement for it so that this thread will be on top again... right?

To be honest, I kind of expected this to happen.

That's the plan anyway...

[Guest]

Really nice! I hope it will get to 1.4 soon.

 I have a KSP version folder named KCS since like a year, filled with some warbirds and stuff.
I also got myself into C# and the SDK. So if you need/want help, I'd be totally into it. Contact me.

I'd also like some more scenarios

[Jhorriga]

Found a big bug. Everything from the new airbases except the runways appears floating in space on the menu screen.

Some examples from my old KCS

I'd really like to merge my content into KCS and let my own version die

Sorry, I didn't notice that there is a dev thread.

Hi.....i just love it. Can we make it bigger?Can we create a 5Dim Redux or DCA expansion? More like an RTS.

[Guest]

Sorry all for the inactivity, been busy lately. i plan to make some progress with the mod now. Unfortunately, it will still be for ksp 1.3.1.

[Guest]

After some careful thought, i will totally redo this for KSP 1.4.

[Jhorriga]

I made a thread for sharing your scenarios
