TheAngryHulk Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Yesterday I had the ability to change to another launch site. Today I do not. I do not understand why. I tried both the VAB and SPH. No options. Any help would be appreciated. Output file: https://goo.gl/T5iXDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your difficulty settings if 'Allow other Launchsites' is enabled. Btw. thats not the correct log file, this one is created by the launcher (which is quiet buggy and you should not use it). If the difficulty settings are not the reason for your issue, please upload your KSP.log (located in your ksp install directory) or your output_log.txt located in this directoy: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Squad\Kerbal Space Program\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but when I made this save file I did not have Making History. I bought it when the file was already in use. Could that have anything to do with it? The right output file: https://goo.gl/Hd2drM EDIT: I just looked deeper into the settings and found where to turn on alternate sites. I just went into the settings of the existing file while the file was running, clicked on difficulty settings at the top of the window and clicked on allow other launch sites. I didn't have that turned on in the existing save file. Thank you for letting me work this out.

The right output file: https://goo.gl/Hd2drM Uhm, I'm not quiet sure if I understand you right, so please let me ask again: Did you check the difficulty settings for the savegame which doesn't allow you to switch to other launchsites? These settings are different from a new game especially if you have created the savegame before you bought the DLC. So what you have to do is: Load the savegame which doesn't allow you to switch between launchsites hit ESC and open the settings window at the top of the settings window, you will find a button to open the difficulty settings for this savegame check if other launchsites are enabled (they shouldn't be enabled since you have started this savegame before you bought the DLC) I'm sorry if I misunderstood you and this is what you have actually done already but it sounds like you just checked the settings for a new game. The log file shows that the dessert launchsite is loaded into your game, so I hope you just checked the the wrong settings because otherwise, I have no other clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAngryHulk Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 I did open a new savegame and it did allow me to use the other sites. Other sites were enabled. I'm sure you didn't misunderstand I have a horrible habit of just skimming text instead of actually reading it. I'm sure it was my error. I apologize.

This is the point where I'm confused. It works on a new savegame, that's fine, nothing to do here. But if you want to use the other launchsites in an old savegame, you have to check the difficulty settings for this particular savegame by going through the 4 steps I've listed above. 7 minutes ago, TheAngryHulk said: I have a horrible habit of just skimming text instead of actually reading it.

TheAngryHulk Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 As I said in the "answered" post when I checked the existing savegames custom settings I had to turn on extra launch sites. That fixed my problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachsvenn Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I am having a slightly different problem with alternate launch sites. I have flown over the Cove Launch Site and "unlocked" it but no alternate launch sites appear in the VAB launch list and more importantly, there is no option to "Allow Other Launch Sites" in the difficulty settings. I've tried creating a new game and no game options show this option in the difficulty settings. I have Stockalike Station Parts and Freeiva mods installed but no Breaking Ground or Making History. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachsvenn Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Unfortunately, the Advanced tab does not contain the "Allow Other Launch Sites" option either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4cheesecake Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 This option in the setting only exists if you got the making history dlc. The discoverable launchsites are not part of the dlc but the 1.12 update and should be available and appear in the launch list without this option present. In fact, I just tested it and it worked fine for me (without any dlc or the said difficulty setting present). Did you land and recover the vessel after discovering the launch site or did you revert the flight? If you just reverted, it also reverts the discovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachsvenn Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Oh, interesting! Well I had just reinstalled the game and simultaneously added the DLCs so now have the settings option and the ability to select the other launch sites. Wish I had tried what you noted first! Thanks.
