MAS vs RPM (for IVA Creation)

[afyber]

What, if any, are the benefits of using MOARdV's Avionics Systems Over RasterPropMonitor to create simple IVAs. Since it seems like they both use a similar set of props (namely the ASET props). Does MAS have its own custom props, or are they ported from RPM? I have failed to understand the relationship here.

Yes, I am a newb, please be nice .

Both RPM and MAS use the ASET props, as you've noticed. The main difference between the two is how the mods work under the hood, since they have vastly different designs.

MAS advantages: Better performance. More powerful (if you're making custom props).  There are a number of props in MAS that are not available in RPM.

RPM advantages: All of the ASET props are ready to use.  ASET was originally written for RPM, so it includes configuration information for RPM.  MAS came much later, and it doesn't support 100% of the ASET props yet (converting hundreds of props gets boring really quickly, so I'm still not done).

That said, there are enough props in MAS for just about any IVA you might want to design.

Cool, thanks for the info
