not my case... triple-check already ! and the mod is loaded as the blacklist seems applied.

ckan does install other mods correctly... that was mainly to rule out an install error on my side.

Problem solved after a fresh install and reinstalling ReStock and Engineer Redux mods through CKAN. Not sure what caused the issue. I still have the faulty install on the side, if a dev want me to dig a bit more. If not, I'll simply wipe it out

No, In all my attempts the craft was oriented retrograde of course. Yes, they're some realchutes (radial), but the actual real chute parts, not stock (using for a while, so don't think it's this).

Anyway, I did like 10 reentry tests, and it wan't nominal. But I'll test further before considering this as an issue,  with just a command pod heatshield/ with a shuttle/etc (reentry profiles I know), to see if there's really a difference.

I've seen something similar. My last 3 craft, 2 of them hit the ground at 600+m/s coming in from a standard 70K orbit, but one hit terminal velocity of 200m/s up around 8Km and landed nicely - just as I was expecting. Also no FAR, etc. here. So at the very least I think it's intermittent. Those were all different craft, so maybe it's related to specific parts in use? Almost as though one part such as the heat shield has a near zero drag coefficient where we only see the effect when it's not occluded during reentry.

if we just install real plume not the stock real plume config does restock's plume still work?

The best way to do it is to install both Real plume and real plume stock configs and then go to GameData/RealPlume-Stock and delete the Squad folder in there. Despite the name, the real plume stock folder has patches for many mods (about 40) not just stock parts.

This way you are guaranteed to have real plumes for any mods that support it and also have Restocks plumes for the revamped squad parts.

Isn't that what you're testing? Plus that config file, that is. 

A copy of the logfile would be nice.

This is using the compatibility patch: https://github.com/PorktoberRevolution/ReStocked/blob/master/Distribution/Restock/GameData/ReStock/Compatibility/RealChute.cfg (that looks like the following)

...
@PART[radialDrogue]:AFTER[RealChute]:NEEDS[ReStock]
{
  @MODULE[RealChuteModule]
  {
    @PARACHUTE
    {
      @preDeploymentAnimation = semiDeployLarge
      @deploymentAnimation = fullyDeployLarge
      @capName = RadialChuteCapDrogue
      @parachuteName  = B_ParachuteRoot005
    }
  }
}
...

The above patch is should be correct, but B_ParachuteRoot005 and all the other custom canopies will need to defined in the file(?): https://github.com/StupidChris/RealChute/blob/master/Output/GameData/RealChute/Materials/TextureLibrary.cfg

The work is, I guess, on RC's side?

Ok, I consulted with an expert and he suggested that my suspicion was probably right and likely a corrupted drag cube config in the part database. Deleting PartDatabase.cfg and letting it rebuild (simply restart KSP) appears to have solved the problem. Valentina appreciates the more predictable return procedure.

For restock +

Suggestion: Increase the general engine sound volume (don't have an exhaustive list, but I noticed that a quite a few of them).

The engines sounds are pretty lower than the stocks ones.

Edit: I've got real plume tho* (don't know if it mess with sounds)

Doing some tests right now:

----> Sound is low only for solid boosters, and for Lv-303 so far

So I'm getting a glitch where the parachute parts have crazy drag. I don't have Restock + and I've tried installing and reinstalling but this issue persists.

I think Twin Boar is too silent too.

On the other hand, the Rapier engine is way too loud. Same goes for other airbreathing engines, although Restock doesn't touch them.

Edit:

Oh no! These 180° rotations cancel out! What have you done!?

As suggested recently in the thread, close the game, navigate to KSP's root folder, Drive:/Path/Kerbal Space Program/, and delete the file 'PartDatabase.cfg' and then re-run the game and see if it resolves the issue.

[Rawenwarcrow]

@Nertea, on SpaceDock, the new Restock+ version is the "standard" Restock file

And thanks a lot to you and other modders for this, this is just brilliant <3 

[kurgut]

ye, restock + download link on spacedock gives you restock instead.

And gj on update

@NerteaIt's fine on Github tho

Edited March 10, 2019 by kurgut

[Nertea]

Yes, I discovered a bug in Spacedock. 

I need to make a new project for RS+ now. Stand by. 

OP is updated, but for shortness's sake, the new link is https://spacedock.info/mod/2106/RestockPlus.

It's worth checking the parachute mesh is called "canopy", or bits of the code will base things off the fully open size. As far as I know this doesn't include drag though. So clearing out the old drag vibes should work.

With this update, I'm not able anymore to switch between the different service bays variant, is it known around?

Just screenshoted in VAB

Thats not the Restock service bay... are you trying to install Restock and Ven's at the same time?

crap, ty, just forgot to tweak again vens cfg stuff..

Yes, I use Ven's only for solar panels which I like more (but shhht!)

[iSquared]

is anyone else experiencing only one door opening in the animation of the  SC-9001 Science Jr in the VAB?

 

-cheers

[Rawenwarcrow]

Yes, inside the VAB, and outside, on the launchpad, only the left door will open...

Thanks for reporting this, I just pushed a fix which will be included in the next update

[Shalfar]

These part revamps are way better than the stock updates that have been trickling in.  I especially love the new parachutes.

[PocketBrotector]

Here's a thing. (This might be the first mod that uses Restock as a dependency?)

[kurgut]

When pivoting lights, the light effect doesn't change direction accordingly, restock issue?

(not the best screenshot, but you got me)

here in reversed rotation, light effect still the same

A few of the parts right now in SSTU merely reuse stock parts, so when they change, the mod isn't pointing at them any more.

You might want to have a word with @Shadowmage. Restock seems to be messing up parts of SSTUlabs' , so far I've seen problems with the LVN cluster-able variants.

Already in discussions to clean these up -- there will be a solution in place before too much longer.
