[1.8.1/1.10.1] Katniss's Cape Canaveral - RSS

[_Falcon]

I think you should add a KerbalKonstructs runway where the runway is, so we can launch our planes from there.

Good idea, might do that in the future.

There was an update that should've fixed the inability to launch from Pad 39A/B without using Making History DLC

Should all work from the KK pad selector menu.

Hi! I've installed the latest RSS textures but the mod doesnt appear to work. My KSC appears in some sort of void.

Are the RSS textures you linked in the initial post the ones I'm supposed to use? I'm using those ones. Thanks for any help!

1. Black screen? Zoom out, it's a "bug" with KSP's camera (and I'm just lazy)

2. Anything else - Install RSS 18.1.2 and RSS-Textures 18.2, then overwrite the earth heightmap with the one provided with my mod.

Hello, my question is not strictly related to your great mod, however may I ask where the Saturn parts visible in one of the front page screenshots are from? Is it a publicly-available mod?

Thnak you very much.

It's a custom part mod, I've been making for a video. There's a lot more in it than just saturn parts too. And no, it's not ready for public use, probably won't ever be, as I don't care about proper colliders, exact masses, volumes and all that fluff. It'd on the other hand slow down the preparations and possibly demotivate me enough to stop.

I see, as a part-time KSP modmaker myself, I can only relate.

loading into a save, the ground is just missing and it crashes if I try and move the camera. any ideas what the issue could be?

EDIT: the rss devs have yet to update any of their ckan files, so I had to go manually install rss & rss-textures lol

Ah yes, the main post can actually contain useful info 

It's not like this wall of bullet points there for a reason or anything.

well played...  Is it a known bug for the camera to start underground on existing saves? bc I have to zoom all the way out to see anything in the starting menu (the view of the cape after loading a save)

Yes and no. The camera behavior is very weeeird.

I've seen reports of that in some peoples' installs, but in others it works fine (including me), the version of the mod doesn't seem to matter (and it shouldn't, as I didn't change anything that'd affect that). It's weird.

It also was broken in my install for some time, but it fixed itself at some point, which is even weirder.

And.. It IS mentioned in the big wall of disclaimers

• The camera might spawn below the mesh (makes the screen black) - zoom out (scroll wheel) for a temporary "fix".

Is it just lc39a/b at the moment and runway, would love a slc 40 /41

@Katniss218 First I applaud this great mod and all the work you put into it. Second, am i missing something bc STATIC
 

{
    mesh = KSCmap.mu
    module = Part
    static = true
    keepConvex = 
    author = Katniss
    title = KSC terrain (Earth)
    category = Katniss
    cost = 0
    manufacturer = Katniss himself
    description = Do not expose to sunlight, water, air, or space.
    DefaultLaunchSiteLength = 1
    DefaultLaunchSiteWidth = 1
    name = KSCmap
    DefaultFacilityType = None
    DefaultLaunchPadTransform = 
}

Are the blank equals ok?

Once loaded there was no VAB at the real location only at the default RSS position. Was the mod supposed to move it?

I figured out the VAB problem but is there a way to remove the old KSC pieces like the launch pad and the old VAB

KSCmap.cfg is obsolete and not used anymore. Mod uses PQSCity2 for the main mesh.

Yes, it is okay, as it isn't used anywhere.

The main post clearly states what you need to do to get the real VAB.

Yeah i figured it out my version of Omega was broken re updated and fixed it. Got it all running

[merlin2345]

Loving the mod so far! However I'm getting this weird overlay effect with the scatterer ocean and the land where it flickers. I am using 8k RSS-textures and the most up to date versions or RSS and RSS-textures btw.

Thanks!

From what I can tell that overlay is purely related to Scatterer and RSS, not my cape.

I think ksc switcher was to blame in my instance, uninstalled it and I haven't had the bug since. not that that makes ANY sense but ok

[serialblack]

as ItsJustLuci reported, I have done the same and no longer start underground or horribly offset to the VAB so that I need to scroll forever every scene change.

Does this include the SpaceX landing zones?

It doesn't.

But Omega's Stockalike Structures has some nice landing zone models for KK. (to be placed via Ctrl+K menu)

Edited June 18, 2020 by Katniss218

[serialblack]

I have also noticed I cannot switch to anything but the "stock" landing strip or launch pad, and the control K menu doesn't seem to function nor do I get options within KCT menu to utilize the other sites....any suggestions on what it could be?
