The engine audio not fading with distance was killing this game for me. No more parts burning several kilometres away exploding with the same volume as if part of your re-entry vehicle just blew up!

MechBFP Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) So... I wonder what will happen if I put a blade at exactly 45 degrees from the center of mass? Both cyclic and collective? Actually never mind. My question doesn’t make sense in hindsight. Edited February 12, 2020 by MechBFP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowmage Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 1 hour ago, NoMrBond said: I have bolded the bit which I am suspecting has come to pass? Partially at least. Logarithmic buffers appear to have been implemented in Unity 5.x versions. The 'magic' that is being implemented now isn't something 'new', but is rather the default for DX11 that was previously unable to be taken advantage of because of the DX9 support. Reversed z-ordering is the bit of magic implemented here that allows for a single camera. Found more information on it, and very good explanations, here: https://developer.nvidia.com/content/depth-precision-visualized It also explains why this technique doesn't work with OpenGL. Bit of a read, but a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbaratu Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I just downloaded KSP 1.9 and ran into this issue right away. When two manuever nodes are in your future flight plan, the second one can't be edited by pulling on the GUI knobs for it. That used to work just fine. https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/24840 Am I the only one having this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gameslinx Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) I have some gripes with the terrain textures 1.8 introduced a new terrain shader, and now there's another one. A lot of people who work on planets spent weeks updating to the shader introduced in 1.8, and their work is now null and void now that the 1.9 update introduced a superior one Secondly, this new shader requires another map to function. To work effectively it'll need to be at minimum 2048 x 1024 for large planets if the shorelines are to be accurate. For mods like JNSQ built at a large scale, these maps will need to be much larger Surely there wasn't a better way to implement this shader? I'd be happy with an altitude curve. Or, alternatively, use the biome maps that already correspond to regions on the terrain and lerp between those regions? Or use a colour range on the colour map, such that you can set a grass colour for the grass terrain texture, and a desert colour for the desert terrain texture As much as I like the changes coming to the terrain (which we've needed for a while) I just don't think this is the way forward. I've read through the "for modders" documentation on how to use it, but I'm not convinced it is an effective use of large amounts of system resources. The ram requirement will go up by 20% for a planet mod with 4 maps already if this is the same resolution... Please please please clarify if I've gotten anything wrong. I do want to use this shader and it has massive potential, I think the implementation is just a little off!

Not quite so bad here. For me it was this weekend. But I've decided I can't play at less than 2.5 times (except challenges I suppose) so for me it won't be 1.9 until Kopernicus and JNSQ run on it.

sh1pman Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 1 hour ago, Shadowmage said: As this feature is simulating collective pitch, as utilized by helicopters and other rotorcraft, I'm not sure how it could be applied (conceptually) to combustion based engines. Conceptually it would dynamically tune the thrust limiter on multiple engines to roll/pitch/yaw the craft. Some mods do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RYU AZUKU99 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 So the drain valves provide thrust when you use them! There should be a challenge to see how high someone can make a rocket go with only drain valves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmaine Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I'm looking forward to some things in KSP 1.9, but... "we’re including some cool stock crafts". It would give me more confidence in the developers if they could consistently correctly spell the plural of "craft", as they are such a central part of KSP. The correct plural of "craft" is "craft". :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Drag still needs fixing. From 1.8 to 1.8.1 the drag on all my aircraft is well over twice as much, also parts attached to nodes don’t seem to be occluded, sometimes having a higher drag than the front cone/cockpit!

Neilski Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 And the Mainsail change just resulted in an existing contract getting hit with the instafail bug, because the part has been made obsolete...

Upload or insert images from URL." - I can't find a button to upload, just one to insert an image from URL. Upload also impossible?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechBFP Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Seriously people, don’t except the game to work flawlessly with several hundred mods that haven’t even been verified to be compatible yet. Scattter for example is NOT compatible with 1.9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
