[1.11.2] Cape Kanaveral - A Cape Canaveral Mod For x2.5 scale KSRSS(Ver 1.1.0 "Where The Story Starts: First Oribt")

[slaintemaith]

All good!  And thank you for your hard work!

 

[slaintemaith]

Can confirm, it looks gorgeous now!  Thanks again!

[Vovical]

Hey I've tried running this however my KSC is a decent distance away from the new launchpads, and it's also got a square patch of land above it (similar to what was posted before)

EDIT: Terrain Detail "Default" has fixed.

Whenever I install this mod, I end up in the middle of Florida and no Cape ever actually appears, I have all the dependencies. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong?

What version your KSP, KSRSS and Cape Kanaveral you use? 
KSP1.8.1 -> KSRSS 0.6.1 -> CapeKanaveral-KSRSS 0.6.1 (On GitHub)

KSP 1.8+ -> KSRSS 0.7 -> CapeKanaveral-KSRSS 0.7 (On both GitHub and SpaceDock)

The thread title says "First Oribt" xd

[biohazard15]

Nice stuff, but:

(NB: KSP 1.12.1, KSRSS 0.7beta, 16K textures, terrain detail Default)

1) Using Gemini launch pad effectively prevents you from using Gemini MLP stuff.

2) The Cape tends to disappear too early:

3) Grass texture is kinda off, IMO.

4) It looks somewhat too big, IMO. Better move it slightly further inland and maybe slightly to the north, for a better match it to look from the orbit.

For those of you who also think KSC is too far away from the launch pads, you can use this us_cape_canaveral snippet for config for LaunchSites.cfg.
This should also adjust the height so it isn't floating as well.

            description = The John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is the NASA facility supporting Launch Complex 39 (LC-39), originally built for the Saturn V, the largest and most powerful operational launch vehicle in history, for the Apollo manned Moon landing program proposed by President John F. Kennedy. It was named in honor of Kennedy by his successor, President Lyndon B. Johnson, shortly after Kennedy's death in 1963. Since the end of the Apollo program in 1972, LC-39 has been used to launch every NASA human space flight, including Skylab (1973), the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (1974), and the Space Shuttle program (1981-2011). KSC also has a facility which was used for landing the reusable Space Shuttle orbiters when weather permitted. KSC continues to manage and operate unmanned rocket launch facilities for the U.S. government's civilian space program from three pads at the adjoining Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Its Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) is the fourth-largest structure in the world by volume, and was the largest when completed in 1965.

My whole Cape Is floating... anyone know a solution?

You mean beyond the one I posted just above your post there a couple weeks ago?

I've tried that, it didn't work. I don't know what I did wrong tho.

[slaintemaith]

Do you have more than one LaunchSites.cfg?

[Dev_135]

Is there a way w can get a config to use this in Stock KSP? It's great in 2.5x but I play stock size KSP more often.

[DaBaby Kerman]

Is there any way to add more launch sites by placing statics? I've tried adding LC-5 and LC-6 but they don't show up on the KK pre launch checks menu, or the launch site options.

[Sputnik Planitia]

Just spotted this mod and can't wait to try it!

 

...Just gotta add some Landing Zones...

 

EDIT: there is already landing zones..

So I accidently crashed a shuttle into the ground, and it destroyed the ground that was around the launch sites, and now Cape Canaveral looks like this:

I've tried deleting and then reinstalling Kerbal Konstructs and Cape Kanaveral, but that doesn't seem to be working, do you guys know how I can fix this?

[DaBaby Kerman]

Is there a way to change the ground texture?

 

[DeadJohn]

Thanks for this mod. I have some observations and comments (with KSRSS 0.7, KSP 1.11.2).

1. Rockets launched from a lot of the sites end up with their navball rotated from the default (where 90 degrees points right). I suppose it was done that way so Modular Launch Pads spawn and automatically rotate to line up with this mod's ground textures, but it makes gravity turns from many pads more difficult because we can't just press the D key on ascent.
2. LC 20(Titan) is one of my favorite pads because it follows the default navball rotation and allows normal "D" gravity turns.
3. During ascent, the ground texture around Cape Kanaveral doesn't match the rest of the world; it's just a flat green color. Biohazard15 already commented on this with screenshots. A more detailed ground texture would be a great improvement to this mod.
4. I am considering adding a lot of KK pads and runways around the world, so I can use the KK menu for all my launches and never need KSRSS' KSC-Switcher interface. I'm a KK noob, though, and wonder if I'll slow things down with too many sites. Is Cape Kanaveral already pushing KK limits?

Because KK basically just places statics and the only thing that happens to them is the explosion effects (when you crash into them). And even for animated Statics they are still still objects just like the VAB or the tracking station. The only real time where you would hit the limit is when you have millions of these. Also, KK loads parts individually and unloads them after a certain range, which maintains performance. Because of this, there isn't really a limit at all.

Press the KK menu on the Space Center scene of your save (as in, the scene where you can access the VAB and astronaut complex, etc) and there should be a button to repair statics.

Alright, thanks for the help.

idk why dependencies is bundled

It is bundled so that you don't have to go looking around and also it is so that you don't forget about that dependency, just  be aware sometimes the bundled dependency may be outdated

[The_only_spaceace]

So i have all the dependencies, and have reinstalled the mod many times, however all the launchsites at the cape seem to be weird, anyone know how to fix this? (im playing on 1.12.2 if that helps)

 

[EndAllFilms]

Will it be compatible with KSC Extended and then Will there be some More LaunchPads?

I had the same problem, that happens when SigmaDimensions isnt installed
For me, the github link for Sigma did not work at all. Try installing it from Curseforge, it worked for me
