What are these green lines and how do i get rid of them?

[gandt2]

Hi all, I am aware this is likely to be something obvious that i have overlooked.  Out of the blue all my aircraft and rockets started displaying these (mostly green) lines.  Anyone know what they are and how to get rid of them????

They mark comms connections from your craft to the ground bases and relay satellites. You can switch to different comms views, using the little icon located on the top left of the screen.

They are quite handy, if you play with "connection required" on, as probe cores can only be controlled and science thingies can only transmit with established connections. Celestial bodies block connections and the quality of the connectIon is balanced between antenna strength and connection distance. Transmissions are also blocked by re-entry plasma generation, if the option is turned on.

Adds quite some planing beef to the game, if you choose to play with these options.

Welcome to the forum @gandt2.

I'm not sure this isn't a bug. Usually comnet lines lead back to Kerbin and these look like they are all internal to the craft. Can you tell us if you are playing with mods installed and the operating system your computer uses?

Hi   I was wondering if it might be a bug.  It only appeared after I applied the latest update to Interstellar extended.  The lines are all internal and appear on rockets planes... everything.  I am using quite a few mods, and am running in the latest windows version.  I might try removing the mod and doing a reinstall to see if that fixes it.

I would see if you have the same issue with the mod cut and pasted out of the KSP install folder first. In the meantime I've moved your thread to technical support (modded, PC).

Those look like you've got something visualizing autostruts and part connections.  Could be a debug flag some mod left on?

I have tracked it down now to KerbalJointReinforcement.  Removing it fixes the problem.   I will try putting it back on whenever it is next update.    Thanks all.

It looks like you downloaded the debug version of KJR Next.  Install the normal one.

Thanks guys   I worked it out.  In KJR there is an options menu.  It was in fact a visual of the autostruts.  There is an simple option to turn off the visual in the options menu.

Because you installed the debug version.  If you install the regular version, there won't be anything to turn off.

You want the second option under assets.
