pap1723 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Payload is just a requirement of the contract. It is essentially a resource that needs to get to a specific orbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how would you want to address this? How would KCT know what to charge both time and cost for an unknown payload? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap1723 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Sorry, I understand the situation now. OK, the contract they will have to complete will be the most Payload they would have to carry. So do not worry about the payloads. It will be handled with a proper contract design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpheralFlunky59 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I installed the mod, but it is not working, it even appears in the game. Can someone help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a bad install. KSTS folder should be in Game Data folder. Also, I believe that KSTS has to dependencies: click through blocker and linuxgurugamer”s Toolbar control (I don’t remember exactly the mods names, but should be easy to find) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luizsilveira Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hi and thanks for keep the mod up! It's brilliant. I saw on the OP it's compatible with StageRecovery but I was wondering if and how it would interact with Flight Manager for Reusable Stages (FMRS)? Cheers!

luizsilveira Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I've been fiddling with the mode for the past few days and have noticed one small annoyance in its interaction with Mechjeb (I´m running KSP 1.8.1, KSTS 2.0.0.1 and MechJeb2 2.9.1) So, Mechjeb has, under "utilities", the possibility of auto deploying solar panels. I have this option turned on and it usually works well. Now, if I "deploy" a vessel with KSTS, when I load said vessel the solar panels will be stuck in "extending" - but they will never actually extend. The only way to get them extended is to move focus away (switch vessels or go to tracking station) and then come back to focusing the deployed vessel - in which case the solar panels will immediately extend as expected. On a side note: wouldn't it be possible to record and later "deploy" an SSTO? From everything I've read and tested, then only way to deploy is through decouplers/docking/etc. I was wondering why not record a vessel profile so that it "launches itself", if I'm making myself clear, just putting it into orbit with the same fuel/deltaV it had when the recorded launch was saved. Thanks a whole lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloakedwand72 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 How do I order a recorded launch? Also how do I record a rendezvous & departure and have it played back when I need a commodity or crew launches to a station or other ship kinda mission? Also how do I order a mission from the KSC map menu what steps do I need to do in that menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokrif Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 First of all, this is one of the best mods! Awesome that I don't have to launch the same rocket one more time after numerous times. It make things a easier and quicker which is a good thing when you don't have all the time in the world for KSP. Thank you! 34 minutes ago, Cloakedwand72 said: How do I order a recorded launch?

Also how do I order a mission from the KSC map menu what steps do I need to do in that menu? Most of these are detailed in the mod menu. In short when you are at the KSC view, open the mod menu and then you will have options for deploy and transfer missions. Build just a satellite in VAB, save it, go back to KSC. Open deploy missions, first you need to choose the payload, so choose the satellite, then you can choose the lifter that you recorded, start mission or deploy (I can't remember the exact wording), then it will do a countdown. Probably you will need to wait it out / warp it while still at the KSC. When the countdown is finished, you will get an ingame green notification text that your vehicle is in orbit. Switch to map view, select the new vessel, and ta-daa your satellite is in the requested orbit. You can even deploy it to pretty close to a reference vessel, such as a station, to skip the randezvous thing. When you are deploying a vessel that has potential payloads and crew, you can select these during the deploy menu. Transfer is different, that there will be no craft put magically on orbit, just the previously defined amount of resources will be added to the selected orbiting vessel. Probably you can transfer crew as well, but I haven't tried it because then I will need to separately send up a return vehicle too (maybe by deploying them). And you cannot order a mission from map menu, only in KSC IRRC. Also if you ordered a deploy or transfer mission, these won't be completed while you are in the map menu or is vessel view. You have to switch back to KSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also no follow along short examples in game instruction or community videos of this awesome mod in action! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattssheep4 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 This only works for transferring from the ksc to orbit, correct? I seem to recall seeing a mod that would also let you transfer from one station to another, but I may be misremembering. Regardless, adding to my career save Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_villain Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hey, really loving this mod. Much more flexibility than older mods that did similar functions to my taste. Query - can I transport/deploy to other bodies outside Kerbin SOI? Everytime I enter The Mun's SOI on a transport mission it removes the appropriate button for transporting goods. Just reads "abort" and "abort and return to launchpad". Cheers for picking this up and keeping it alive, its making my 3rd career play through much less tedious. Seriously. Awesome work. Many praises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_villain Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Ah, your quite right. I'm guilty of doing what I usually try really hard not to do - getting over excited and skimming the notes. To clarify then - I can deploy but not transport to SOI outside kerbin? I'm assuming Launch and record from other bodies is for Extra Planetary Launchpads/Ground Construction etc? Sorry - its just that between the old thread and this one I'm a bit confused. Again, really appreciate this mod and you taking the time to revive it.
