hmmm, ok just so we are on the same page, the setting you are referring is "Build Engineer Overlay" there are 3 settings "Visible" this toggles the overlay on the mouse and the bottom panel, then there is "Names Only" and "Click to open"

none of these settings can remove just the Overlay when you hover with mouse over a part but leave the bottom panel

Not that one, that just turns everything off. Gimme a second I'll show you wich one is

Sorry, my bad. I thought we had that option. Right now we can only hide the additional info, the name of the part will still show on mouseover

yeap, that's what i was thinking, anyway thx for checking!

So it doesn't work with fancy setups like asparagus staging or if you plan to pump liquid fuel around, but for a rocket with several discrete stages it works great and also leaves you with modular pieces you can assemble into various configurations through the use of sub-assemblies.

KER does just fine with asparagus, in my experience. Pumping fuel around or running docking cycles will throw it for a loop though. Basically if you can run the ship through its staging with the spacebar only it will very likely give accurate results.

heads up, incoming bug report! It appears that the kerbalCrewMass setting in the physics globals file is also being applied to landing gear, of all things :huh:


@PHYSICSGLOBALS
{
  // http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/15451-the-mass-of-a-kerbal/
  @kerbalCrewMass = 0.03125
}

The mass of the gear changes according to the number of kerbals you have in a pod, if the gear is attached to a pod. Tested this under v1.2.2 with just Squad, MM, Kerbal Engineer and Loading Screen Manager installed. Was not a fun issue to track down, lol

Edit: ok, actually now that I know what to look for it seems the extra kerbal mass is being applied to everything - it's just the landing gear was the most obvious descrepancy to me since they don't carry any fuel or modules that would affect their weight when I was looking into why my aircraft suddenly weighed so much

But hey, thanks a bunch for accounting for kerbal mass properly in pods! Annoying the game itself does not do so in the editor.

Just noticed this bug too (in the RealismOverhaul setup).  I'm gunna open a squad bug.

This isn't a Squad bug. The stock Engineer Report always shows the correct mass. If you remove all the kerbals from the ship you'll see KER matches the mass of the Engineer Report. The only bug on the Squad side is not showing the increased capsule mass when you add/remove kerbals while building in the editor, and I'm not 100% sure whether that's an oversight or a design decision

Ahh, you are right.  It appears that mechjeb is plagued by the same bug then.

I finally tracked down a long-standing issue with KerbalEngineer locking up the game when a ground base is targeted with the rendezvous window open. Posted issue #126 about it.

Somehow the intercept angle becomes infinity and this causes an infinite loop when trying to clamp it.

I can offer to make a PR to fix it, but I'm not really sure which of the possible fixes would be best.

Kinda suggestion, because I couldn't find it, or I'm just blind - it could show closest current distance to target. In meters, of course. Default text in map mode isn't accurate enough.

It's one of readouts in the Rendezvous section.

For anyone wishing to use KER with the KSP 1.2.9 pre-release, I have put together a build that seems to function reasonably well.  This is built from the test129 branch on my GitHub.  The only changes, so far, from 1.1.2.8 are to add the version suffixes.

Download KER 1.1.3.0p from my DropBox  (only for KSP 1.2.9 pre-release).

I'll try to find a bit of time to catch up with what's been happening for the last couple of months and also try to contact @cybutek to find out if he is still going to be active.

Nononono that's not what I meant (I'm fast). Now I found proper words, yay me. I wanted to know the closest approach. Like that one we see in map mode but in meters.

..Not to mention that map view is inconsistent. We see orbital distances in meters, but rendezvous data in kilometers. Pfeh.

Yeah. Closest approach to target isn't there.

If you mean distance to a target, that changes units when you are close enough, if I'm not mistaken.

As i understand, mass setted correctly (mass = 0.74)

So I tried to apply the engineer to stock antennas to encourage me to use them more, but it didn't workout can anyone help?
  

@PART[SurfAntenna,longAntenna,mediumDishAntenna,commDish,HighGainAntenna]
{
	MODULE[FlightEngineerModule]{}
}

I tried it forth and back but I can't spot my mistake :S

edit (fixed): 

@PART[SurfAntenna,longAntenna,mediumDishAntenna,commDish,HighGainAntenna]
{
	MODULE
	{
		name = FlightEngineerModule
	}
}

I believe that's an error from Kerbal Konstructs (?) when KSP has got into some dodgy state in some way.  I've not looked into it in any detail though as I don't have any reason to believe the problem is caused by KER, sorry...
