Thrust turn off when I speed up warp while mechjeb  Maneuver Planner working. Is there way to make it work while  mechjeb  Maneuver Planner make his work?

Could you describe this issue in more detail? Exactly how can I reproduce? What relevant mods do you have installed besides mechjeb  ?

I don't know for certain, but I think he's referring to the fact that mechjeb auto-magically turns off timewarp when executing maneuvers. This would be a mechjeb problem, though. Might not be in the scope of PT

Idealy mechjeb would not drop out of timewarp but set the throtle and it would perform like it would durring real time, allowing you to perform complex manouvers, that took minutes down to a few seconds.

Would Mechjeb even be capable of changing the throttle during on-rails timewarp? This is an issue I've run into quite a few times on my KSP-IE career mode save and have always assumed there was just no solution.

Working on it now. In future please report these on the CKAN thread rather than mod threads.

Ok, but what would be the behaviour without Persistent Thrust Mod? Seems to me Mechjeb  quits execution of a circularisation  as soon as you activate timewarp. This is outside of my control.

Now I understand that from mechjab

amazing mod! though it appears to have an issue with engines that have multiple modes, where one mode works fine with PT, but the other mode just doesnt work and just stops accelerating the ship.

Try again with PT 1.5

ok, i will try it now

also, with the 1.10 update, this mod will be very useful for moving million ton comets lol

edit: turns out that to move a 1.3 million ton comet, you need more than just 24 NERVs... once its in kerbin orbit, then it means that i can literally make almost any craft, except for incredibly large crafts. *looks at giant ship from Beyond home planet pack* lol

welp... i guess im going to try it tomorrow, spent too much time messing around with kerbal foundries and making giant rovers for whatever reason lol.... (also, im tired rn)

Would it be possible to add RealPlume support?

Exactly what engine with RealPlume doesn't work? Seems to me it works fine with P.T 1.5

Edited July 3, 2020 by FreeThinker

[JcoolTheShipbuilder]

yep, it now works with the multi mode engines

I've had only 1 issue with this mod so far, and that's the fact that it doesn't work when the Navball is set on Target mode.

Weird, it should work. What are you using as a target?

Asteroids and comets, i didn't check if switching to target mode just disabled Persistent Thrust in the ion engines.

[nubeees]

I've noticed similar in the past with PT being temperamental about target SAS. The general trend seemed to be if the target was outside the current parent body's SOI, but that didn't seem very reliable.  Haven't been able to play KSP much lately, so can't really confirm this.
