Please use the new thread.

Also, did you install module manager?

Increase max engage range in the .cfg?

See I tried, and since they're dumb bombs they don't have a line in .cfg for range at all!

I think it's a hard coded limit in BD armory, so idk if I can fix it.

PLEASE USE THE NEW THREAD.

 

Thank you

We lock threads at OP request. We don't generally lock threads otherwise unless we think there is especially some problem, which does not appear to be the case here.

It is predicted that it will cause confusion, therefore it was asked to lock this thread. OP is no longer active and other community members who maintain mod and are more active have opened new thread for same mod.

Is there a version of Burn Together somwhere that works with 1.7 ?

Necroing an old thread.  I discussed with @jrodriguez, and He is fine with me reviving this thread, since I will be maintaing the BDAc fork going forward.  As you all know I've released a beta version of BDAc for 1.12.3.  So far it seems to be working for the most part.  Please post any issues here.  I will post this in the other thread so we have continuity.  I will also be looking over the other thread to try to catch any outstanding issues that remain from there.

I have some issues with modular missiles

1) missile doesn’t move after release, it starts accelerating only if I switch to it

2) missile doesn’t guide itself towards the target

can someone help me with this issues and if this will help I am playing on Mac 

[DirtyVenomSteam]

Is there a tutorial for how to make custom parts around? I've tried looking for one on youtube, but I mostly just get unrelated mod review videos.

Hi @Papa_Joe. (I created an account to tell you this) with a several other mods installed, trying to load KSP with BDArmory 1.3.5 installed causes the loading to freeze. The slideshow of KSP images continues, the game keeps loading, but it never seems to get past "BDArmory_1.3.5PR_01292022_2235/GameData/BDArmory/Parts/20mmVulcan/vulcanTurret/bahaGatlingGun"

I am not sure if this is something that is caused by something I am doing wrong, or a glitch with the mod, I would appreciate your help...

Thanks for the post.  You have installed it wrong.  you have unzipped the archive directly into your gamedata folder as best I can figure.  You need to unzip the archive and then paste the gamedata folder over the existing gamedata folder.  the correct path should be:  Drive\Game\GameData\BdArmory

I would delete the BDArmory_1.3.5PR_01292022_2235 folder completely.

As an update for folks, My school year has ended, I've learned a great deal more about Unity in general.  I will be revisiting my mods with a fresh eye from what I've learned.

In general Custom parts can be as simple as a new config for an existing part, or completely new models, animations and code to support them.  Typically a new Part would be created in a tool like Blender and then exported to Unity format (.fbx or .obj is typical)  they are then plugged into unity and exported to KSP using KSP tools.  Anyone, please correct me if I got that wrong.  Parts and modelling are next on my list of things to learn.

Where do I find the latest release of not-Runway Bdarmory? Furthermore I found a relatively major issue with version 1.3.4: I cannot zoom the targeting pod

Thank you... seems a bit more complicated than other mods, but it works now, so thank you!

Thank you! It was hard to find though, you might want to make it more visible and easier to find.

I cannot figure out the new Vessel Switcher though, why do Vessels drop off of it at some distance?

Never mind, I haven't activated PRE properly, it works now and I love it!

The update is truely awesome!

Noted.  I've updated the OP to place the links under the banner, and make them larger, so they are easier to see.

Hey there, having some issues with BDAC currently. Specifically with the zoom function on the tracking pods. When I zoom in it doesn't appear to be doing anything, however I've noticed if I'm zooming with a portion of the sky showing, the zoomed image appears in that - almost like it's an image *behind* the default zoom level. I'm not really sure how else to describe it (but can get pictures if you want)

Any idea what's up with that?

 

(And yes, I did make this account just to ask haha)

Update; so I removed a few mods, and I think it was Scatterer that was messing with it. Appears to be working now.

[vikt2324]

I am curious if it is possible there is a plugin for BDA or RPM that can integrate the data displayed from radars, RWRs, targeting pods, etc on to RPM MFDs/screens?

Very interesting question I'll have to look into that.

The Kerbal community always follows up. I had this problem.. I suppose I can go without Scatterer for my BDA install. Thanks!

Sorry, I am REALLY late with my response, as I forgot to check, basically, I'm asking what the structure looks like for making new guns, or if there's an up-to-date tutorial for making them?

Basically speaking, I want to do is turn the Browning into a turret, with an attachment, so it wouldn't just be rotating off of nothing, however, trying to make custom guns in my past attempts (Like trying to scale down the Browning to match a 7.62 role, as scaling the model in the .cfg didn't move the ejection port, so it's ejecting shells from above the model, and looks kinda'... Jank.) has lead to the "Hey, this is firing this way!" going through the craft and into the ground, being stuck at it's starting location.

This happens whether I make a custom turret, or a new stationary gun, so, I'm really just trying to figure out the ideal workflow for this stuff to actually work.

Is it possible to extend the [Target Camera] locking distance?  The stock range for LR locking seems to be around 15km, but many IR locking missiles have longer potential range.

I tried to search for a relevant parameter in BDA gamedate folder but didn't find it.

I think it would be better with MAS because it has things that RPM will never get since it's development is stopped. Such things as touchscreen MFDs, ability to have multiple subpages on a single page, more flexibility in prop configs and optimization.

Just imagine this large central configurable MAS MFD filled with BDA data: radar in the center, minimap underneath, RWR and weapon selection menu on the sides.
