Singhnaut Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 On 4/21/2021 at 7:09 PM, FruitGoose said: Vertikal Speed Indicator Description This is a very simple mod which gives a quick reference to your ship's vertical speed direction by changing the colour of the NavBall text according to whether your ship is ascending or descending. This has been designed with newer players in mind, although more experienced players may find it helps fine-tune their throttle control skills. When trying to land manually and reducing their velocity, newer players can often 'overburn' resulting in their vertical velocity changing directions (they start taking off again!) Many tutorials will advise setting the NavBall SAS mode to "retrograde" which makes sense given that's where you'll be landing, however, in the above scenario that can result in the ship flipping upside down (due to the prograde/retrograde markers switching positions) which many new players (and many experienced!) can often struggle to recover from. Unfortunately, the stock game gives very little information regarding this situation. Quite often, the speed indicator will jump from say -3 to 3 without the player being aware. Also, the VS dial at the top of the screen is (i) too small; (ii) too inaccurate; (iii) in the wrong place; (iv) unnecessarily complex; (v) too hard to get basic information from at a glance. This mod attempts to address the above issues by giving the player an easy to read, instantaneous indication of their vertical speed direction. It does this by changing the text on the NavBall to colours selected by the player . In theory, and with plenty of practice, it would become possible to land manually in a controlled fashion without locking the SAS to retrograde. It also makes skills such as hovering easier to learn and master as you can get instant feedback when dealing with very fine throttle (and therefore vertical velocity margins). Details The mod activates when the NavBall is set to "Surface Mode". It does not function when set to "Orbit" or "Target". Click on the toolbar button to bring up the options menu. Here you can select a colour for when ascending and for when descending, as well as specifying a safe velocity and assigning a 3rd colour to it. The colour options are: Green (stock), Red, Orange, Yellow, Cyan, Blue, Magenta, Pink and White (those 3 aren't available from the colour options above ) Once you are happy with your selections, you can hide (and show) the toolbar button through the pause menu options (Esc -> Settings -> (your difficulty setting): Options -> Vertikal Speed Indicator -> Disable Toolbar Button). You can also view your saved colour options. Now in Surface Mode, when you are ascending, the colour will show according to what you have selected. When you descend, the colour will change to that selection. In Pictures Here I've kept green for ascending but switched descending to red. We're ascending. We know this because it's green * We're descending. It's now red. ** * there may be additional clues, like the launchpad is getting smaller. ** there may be additional clues, like the launchpad getting bigger and/or crashing.

Caerfinon Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 It looks as though all of the Fruit related mods have disappeared from Spacedock and their GitHub repositories and all forum OP for them blanked out... which is very sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probus Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 What! Has he been hacked? Or maybe he just rage quit? Or maybe the Kraken got him, it was bound to happen eventually. Well, I hope he finds his way back, he will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
