Nice details!

Already did a full insight mission, and it worked like a charm. though the fuel tanks seem to run out very quickly.

[drtedastro]

Nice mod.

cheers.

Did you put the spacecraft in a parking orbit first?

Huh. Saw that video and downloaded the pack... Lander looks excellent and all, but...

Holy. Cow. Seriously overpowered. I mean, the lander has over 2.7 km/s dV on its own. The antennas ALL work from Eeloo. and the cruise stage engine has a vacuum Isp of 600 SECONDS. I've been tinkering with different edits to the config files to correct these, if you're interested in a balancing pass, @kunedo...

[Insanity_BK]

will this mod be updated?

[SpaceB0i]

is there any chance you will add RO configs? this is a great mod and i would love to use this in my RO/ RSS game

Unfortunately, this beautiful mod is no longer updated. I wrote a patch to rebalance this mod. I also added waterfall and cryoengine support to this mod.

Here’s the config

I’m going to contact the author about this, would you mind if I incorporate your patch into a new release?

Sure, feel free to use this patch, but I think we can directly edit the cfg if we get permission from the author.

That's what I was planning on doing.  I will also do a pass to make sure everything has bulkheadprofiles, tags, etc, although if you want to do tags, that would be great as I'm not great at tagging

Edit: Just looked at a couple of parts, they already have tags (yay)

Fixed the broken science animation by switching ModuleAnimationGeneric to DMagic Science Animation, but generating a weird issues - if you deploy 2 instruments at the same time, you will have two robotic arms. I Also changed the waterfall template for landing thruster to hypergolic UDMH-NTO.

I've finished merging the patch, noticed that the example vessel needs to be updated.  do you think you could rebuild it using parts updated with your patch and get it to me?

The picture doesn't make it obvious, since I'm not familiar with the parts

Here’s the craft file and new waterfall config. Could you replace the old waterfall cfg with this one. I did some extra change to balance it, could you also merge the new patch?

Will do.  I'll try to get a preliminary beta out in a day or so

I'm getting an error when trying to load the new craft file.  Did you rebuild it or just edit the file?

Never mind, it was the game version, I fixed it

I've decided to NOT move ahead with an adoption of this mod, other than the insight part itself, most of the parts aren't really worth using, there are much better parts elsewhere
