Actually was a pretty easy update from our perspective, but we don't mess with inventories much, so... Is the version in CKAN good for 1.11?

I look forward to the bug hunters digging into this and eventually playing 1.11.1. Nice job so far. So far it seems pretty solid. A few bugs have been found, but none of them seem to be game-breaking. And the fuel transfer bug has been fixed! I've just been playing around with it in a stock install and hope to try it out in my main modded install once 1.11.1 comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curveball Anders Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Given the nature of this release I just had to start a new save. Named "Intrepid Kerbal Exploration Agency."

JadeOfMaar Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 7 hours ago, GKSP said: For night-time flying, I'm definitely going to be keeping my lights on, but the landing gear light behavior is so jarring I almost don't want to. When retracted, gear lights shine through the plane, and if the plane is flying inverted, they show up on the ground below. Landing gears really need to have their lights automatically turn off if retracted. This behavior has been there forever, though. It would be better to have landing gear lights go into their own action group, or have dedicated lamps to light the road under you and never use the wheels' lights.

fourfa Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Remove the landing gear light action from the Lights action group and put it in the Gear action group, make sure they’re on when you launch, and you’re good to go. Not hard to write a Module Manager patch to make this the default setup for every landing gear part either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmymcgoochie Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Just based on first impressions immediately after downloading the new release: EVA construction mode is so much better than the KIS/KAS system, much easier to use and no massive pauses every time something gets added/removed. While it doesn't have the tubes/cables that KAS brings, overall it's a better system to work with and I like it very much. The new 'EVA science' kit is nice, but so far I've only seen one action (playing golf), are there others available on other planets/moons? Either way it's good to have something else to while on an EVA and it seems to be reusable too? Those helmet visors tried to sneak in under the radar, but they're a nice touch and look good. New lights and light control systems are good, easy to use and understand. Obviously the light strips will be going on the bottom of every rover, ever, since it says that's definitely not its purpose . Everything looks better with neon underglow lighting! The only issues I've seen so far are that Kerbals and vehicles (or at least the one that I quickly stuck together to test the new update) still slide around on terrain, and an unladen Kerbal can jump upwards at 4.5m/s which means they fall over when they land. While I won't be doing a huge amount with 1.11 in the near future due to incompatible mods (the perennial curse of KSP updates) I will definitely be upgrading as soon as possible to make use of these excellent new features.

GKSP Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) I think this will be my last post about navlight bugs, this time containing a demonstrations. The colors chosen do not appear to save with the .craft file, and reverting flight or loading the craft in the editor shows the colors picked are reset to the default white. Sorry for the mouse pointer not appearing, I forgot that tick box was not selected. Edited December 18, 2020 by GKSP addendum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakete Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I think a found a new bug: The housing of the SP-L 1x6 and or the SP-W 3x2 does happen to appear half opened: See here: https://imgur.com/6Tf6dyb It's a bit immersion breaking. Can you please fix this in 1.11.1 ? It tried out: It happens always when you switch to a vehicle with these modules (if they are retracted) . You can deploy them and retract them, and then they work correctly. But if you switch vehicles it's half opened again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like this feature would be really useful but I can't find any sign of it in the update. The ground anchoring system is under the hood. The game now anchors parts better to the ground to deal with some sliding issues that would happen, especially when you had light parts contacting the surface w/heavier parts attached to them, and was kind of an artifact of how things worked in PhysX.

Oh, interesting. Thanks for the information, why wasn't the system mentioned in the changelog? I was having some issues with Kerbals sliding when trying out the update yesterday, does the system apply to them? It also seems like landing legs jitter a lot more with light craft since the update, so maybe that's also a side-effect, but it's nothing that can't be (mostly) be solved by fiddling with spring and damper settings.

djr5899 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Anyone seeing issues with parachutes not working? I decided to start a new career game with 1.11, and doing the very first build, my parachutes will not engage. MK1 Command Pod MK16 parachute Flea booster The simple build everyone uses as their first craft. Fire the solid booster, arm the chute stage (which shows blue), but it never engages automatically. It appears that the default Min Pressure value has been set too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that it changed and now has 2 extra categories (Agencies and Organisations). Would it be possible to make custom Flag categories (assuming there is more necessary than just making another folder, which i already tried)or are we limited to the 3 we have now? No you can’t sorry. 2 hours ago, Lisias said: The anchoring needs to be applied to the torque vectors too! Hide contents Before: later:Source. The non-player visible (as we have now established) ground anchoring is an internal piece that we implemented to stop objects from sliding down slopes. It is applied to torque vectors. It is NOT applied to a vessel on wheels or landing legs. So your example is on wheels and does not get that internal vessel anchoring treatment.
