I'd like to ask whether that's WAD or whether there is a fix for that, considering that this makes manned interplanetary travel rather hard Sounds like a similar problem. Are you using kopernicus, AND what version of Kerbalism are you using? Also, are these stock panels or from a mod like Near Future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarf Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) I'm using the basic 3x2 stock panels, and yes, I've got Kopernicus and OPM installed. I'm also taking Kerbalism of CKAN, which was 3.17, although I'm just seeing that there is a newer one, so I'm installing that right now and trying again Edit: Alright, Kerbalism 3.19 and the problem persists. Another thing which also appeared before and I forgot to mention is that if I return to the KSC, the probes battery runs out and I return to it the SAS doesn't work anymore, even though the batteries start recharging the second I load in Edited May 27 by Gnarf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SAS issue may be fixed through a F5 save and F9 quickload. Assuming also that you are using KerbalismConfig and not KerbalismSimplex? Have you recently updated Kopernicus?

RSS kerbalism might address that. Basically stock up on the Radiation parts! On 5/5/2024 at 3:39 AM, Tupac said: How can I change the keybinds for this mod? I use the numpad for RCS and it keeps toggling the radiation belts when I'm in the map. Never been able to work that out but it us annoying i agree! Sorry.

It hasn't really worked for a while but in terms of profiles you need to edit the KerbalismConfig settings.cfg to change the profile and to check the profile name there is a folder in KerbalismConfig which lists the profiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd ask on the Skyhawk Kerbalism page. I think it may have something to do with that as it hasn't been updated for nearly a couple of years.

I don't have access to my pc right now, so I can't say with certainty, but I'm pretty sure I'm using KerbalismConfig. I also just updated all my mods on CKAN, so I'm certain I'm using the up to date version of Kopernicus. I'm gonna try the reload fix when I get home Edit: So, I'm using Kopernicus Expansion Continued-er Beta9.11, Kopernicus System Modifier 1.1, as well as Kerbalism Default Config Edited May 28 by Gnarf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasiliy Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) Hi. Is there any way to establish a radiation-safe orbit with periapsis below the first radiation belt and apoapsis above it? Edited June 9 by Vasiliy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of nowhere Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 1 hour ago, Vasiliy said: Hi. Is there any way to establish a radiation-safe orbit with periapsis below the first radiation belt and apoapsis above it? yes: a polar orbit. radiation belts are equatorial, so if your orbit is polar, with a high apoapsis above the equator, you will pass over and below the belts.

Not sure as I've never really tried. I guess one that has an inclination of 45 degrees may work? But it may precess around to enter the heliopause. 4 minutes ago, king of nowhere said: yes: a polar orbit. radiation belts are equatorial, so if your orbit is polar, with a high apoapsis above the equator, you will pass over and below the belts. Isn't there a high rad band that comes in creating a centre of the donut of the poles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it may precess around to enter the heliopause. Isn't there a high rad band that comes in creating a centre of the donut of the poles? here i'm doing that maneuver. the radiation belt is faint, and you can't see much the third dimension, but you should notice there's a gap between the atmosphere and the radiations, and the ship is passing in between. also, while it's not very clear, i have a maneuver planned at periapsis to lower orbit to the brown dotter one, and that orbit, while considerably lower, is still high enough to avoid the inner radiation belt of jool entirely (it still gets the outer radiation belt, but laythe sits straight into it, so there's no way around). Here I was aiming for a moonlet straight in the middle of the radiation belt, while limiting crew exposure. You can see that the radiation belt only covers around the equator, while a polar orbit will stay too far away from the equatorial plane. Once more, I was aiming for a moonlet in the middle of the belt, but this is perhaps the clearer image. You can see, I am making a very short passage amid the radiations. the orbit goes above the equatorial plane very fast. if I had a lower periapsis, I would avoid the belt entirely.

Vasiliy Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Hi @king of nowhere @theJesuit. Thank you for your replies. I did not notice that I am looking for an orbit for the Kerbin orbital station, where the inner radiation belt is more complex and has a sickle-shaped cross-section. With a periapsis of 72 km, apoapsis of 625 km and inclination of 49°, I am already crossing the horns of the inner belt, and still cross the outer belt. Any change moves my orbit into one of the belts. I can try diving into the atmosphere, but do not want to use that kind of cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez_1 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) How can I make the highlighting go away on engine failures? I've disabled it in the settings menu but that doesn't change anything, it just resets in the settings everytime I check.

Try changing it, then, when you are back in flight, F5 to quicksave and F9 to quickload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
