Me too. Most of the mechanics of the missions are done, but the story portion is taking longer than I anticipated.

Heh...
You know... You can also have the "Book" used as an interactive prop in IVA?... You know, for those long waits between manuever nodes...

Here's an example of such a prop in use:

Hopefully it might be added to MAS soon... if it does, I might make a tablet-looking prop that does similar... mebbe with emissive display

On topic:
Soo.. how do you have the story setup, as far as "finding" locations & stuff?
ie, any riddles/puzzles you have to solve, to get you coords for the next? I'm thinking, like, puzzle geocaches or something

It follows the the HP Lovecraft story in three chapters. 

Chapter 1 is the discovery of the existence of the legend and some clues
Chapter 2 is following the clues to locations and using science to find them
Chapter 3 is revealed after all chapter 2 locations are discovered and an expedition to the final location is undertaken. 

The whole thing will involve planes, ground vehicles, naval vessels, submarines, satellites, and pretty much any other kind to craft a player can think of to accomplish the goal.

Now I get the idea how to use this thing. Tried to flip pages without picking it up or maybe I even forgot to open the door

I'll take a look at it when the current tasks are complete

The work is currently on a little hiatus. 

If anyone is interested in tackling the Kerbal Konstructs/Parallax issue with the blockmap method described in the linked post, I have made my blockmap template file available on GitHub. It is a three layer graphics file for the paint.net program. You can find the file and instructions here: Parallax Kerbin Blockmap Template  @blackrack @Stone Blue

 

[Caerfinon]

Today's release of Parallax v2.05 corrects the removal of large scatter from Kerbal Konstructs sites with Map Decals set to remove scatter. Grass cover is not cleared but can be compensated for by raising the Group Center of the location by 3 meters. @Probird_23 @blackrack  @Stone Blue

I have decide to roll this project up into a larger effort. Details can be found at the following link
