ASET Consolidated Avionics Pack

A props pack consisting of mostly Aircraft-style controls, instruments & gauges, both "modern" & "classic" in style.
Note that this pack does nothing on its own, as it is just a pack of assets, and *requires* the installation of a seperate "IVA mod" which utilizes it.

A full-featured set of different devices & decoration elements for creation of interactive interior spaces for parts & crafts.
It includes various Multi-Function Displays, buttons, controls, knobs, switches, devices and "other stuff".
This pack was originally designed by alexustas for use in the ALCOR capsule, and then in his other projects, as well.

Wow... so this was the hardest, messiest forum thread I have ever had to do. Sorry if it looks so bad, and my horrble formatting butchery.

ANYWAY!... I'm considering these three Packs out of WIP, and now RELEASED.

YES!... CKAN will be Soon... I have a small hold up on my end that needs to be resolved for NETKAN approval.

CKAN availability of all three packs is now up!!

Edited March 4, 2023 by Stone Blue
Hopefully done authoring the OP

[Stone Blue]

CKAN requests submitted for all three packs. Just waiting on the awesome CKAN team to get through the backlog

EDIT:
CKAN is now up for these.
THANX to the CKAN Team for getting these pushed thru so quickly!

Been a while since I've been active on KSP forums (college is hard) , but nice! I'll be checking these in as soon as they get onto CKAN.

I'm having problems with the MK1-2 Pod, like a few times before a few years back. I "reactivated" the pod and downloaded the replacement pack along with all dependencies via CKAN but the IVA doesn't show. Only the old rpm replacement is there. Reviva is installed and works on all the other pods I've tested except on this one. The spacedock kinda confuses me it says "Mk1-2 used in Mk1-3 Pod" above the MK1-2 pictures but it also says "Stock Mk1-2 Pod (pending update for Mk1-3 Pod)" closer to the top.

[Stone Blue]

Yeah, sorry about that @RapFab. Currently, the Mk1-2/3 Hybrid IVA isnt supported with RevIVA.

Currently, it works in the stock Mk1-3 Pod, and *should* work in the depricated Mk1-2 Pod, as stand-alone IVAs... meaning w/o RevIVA support, and it would have to be the *only* IVA available in your game for the Pod.

Long story long, the IVA uses a custom IVA model, based on the shape of the old Mk1-2 Pod, which is now depricated.
It *does*, for the most part "fits/works" in the new Mk1-3 Pod. You'll notice that the windows and IVA overlay view do NOT lineup properly.
I've edited the OP to call it the "Mk1-2/3 Hybrid", because of this.

Unfortunately, with RevIVA support, its more complicated than i first thought, since this IVA *is* a hybrid. The other two IVAs "just work", with the basic stock support in RevIVA, since they use stock models. I've been trying to sort out RevIVA support for the Pod, for the past week. I should have it Soon, in the next update, as well as FreeIVA support, which is also complicated for this Pod, because it uses both stock and custom models.
With support for both RevIVA & FreeIVA, I have to patch this IVA *carefully*, so i dont break those mods' support of all other IVA mods that use the same stock parts the ASET Consolidated IVAs use.

Funnily enough I was just writing an edit for my post when your response came. I don't know a lot about coding but I looked into the .cfg file in  GameData\ASET\ASET_StockRpl_IVAs\Patches  and managed to make it work with the MK1-2 Pod for my needs. I just changed the beginning of the first line from  "@PART[mk1-3pod]"  to  "@PART[Mark1-2Pod]" and that seemed to do the trick. Hope that's okay with you.

Also a few things I found odd:

• while testing the interior didn't appear in the selection for the MK1-3 Pod's interiors either
• It looks like CKAN just puts the folder for the replacements into the GameData folder, not into the ASET folder unlike when you install it manually

Yeah.. first point, it wont show in the list right now. I'm close to releasing an update with fixed Reviva support for the Mk1-2.3 Pod.

2nd point.. yes... apparently there was confusion and incorrect info submitted to CKAN.. I've tried to get it fixed, but its currently broken & will have to stay that way for now. I'll edit the OP to remove CKAN as a method of obtaining the IVA Pack.

FreeIVA support will also be added in the next release for all three IVAs.

[Stone Blue]

Update for the IVA Pack is out: 

Stock Replacement IVA Pack:

SpaceDock
Github

v2.0.1

- Changes:

  - .version file still broken as far as KSPAVC support; reverting link to see if that does anything
          turns out this update *did* fix it
  - Renamed Pod model file
  - Copied over/added FreeIVA collider model, for future merge into base internal model
  - Added FreeIVA support for Mk1-2.3 Pod, as it does not use stock models
  - Added Reviva support, to differentiate between ASET Consolidated & original ASET IVA packs
  - Updated RPM support
  - Updated & renamed internals cfgs
  - Renamed INTERNAL names, updated model URLs
  - Updated forum thread to note that CKAN support is broken. Pack needs to be downloaded & installed manually now
** CKAN now fixed, THANX to HebaruSan and his great patience

Hello,

I made an IVA with flap control lever (ASET_FlapsCtrl).

 I found out I can't use them in-game, they just won't move neither have effect on flap deflection. However, they do move and work in other IVAs I didn't make myself. So it seems that the problem comes from my way of using Unity rather than an issue with my KSP game. I notably get around 10 messages like this when I click Save to Config in Unity Editor:

I am beginning with Unity so I don't know how to interpret this.

I tried to fix my problem by reinstalling ASET and its dependancies with the newest versions available for each one, but it didn't solve the problem.

[Stone Blue]

@Hippodingo I cant reproduce. The levers both work fine for me in the ASET Stock Replacement Mk1 Cocpit IVA.
I get no errors in the log from them.

You may have to make sure you enable the Flap/Spoiler function in the PAW menu on the flap/spoiler parts.

Also, it kinda sounds lie you may be trying to write the *prop* config from ParetTools in Unity.
You dont need to do that. that is for if you are *making* props.

You place the prop in your IVA, as a child object of your root IVA space game object. That root should have the PartTools component on it.
You set up your GameData directory on that component.
When you are done placing props, you got to that root (top-level) object, and export/write the config for the *whole* IVA. The placed props will all show up in *that* internal, IVA config.

 

 

[Hippodingo]

Yes sure, myself I can't reproduce this in pre-existing IVA (I tested flap lever in SRS cockpit and it worked very well).

It happens that these levers (and ASET knobs too) don't work only in my own IVAs. This is the case only for some MOARDV and ASET props by the way, for example RPM screens work normally.

I don't intent to write the prop config indeed, but I guess this is what I'm actually doing unfortunately. The procedure I use to make my own IVA is:

1) I open KSP Part Tools.

2) I set GameData directory as working directory.

3) I load the space I want to edit.

4) I click on Props and I spawn them. Then I put them as child of the space by dragging them below it in the left-hand panel that lists all the items of the scene. I can see these props ingame, they are all there and for most of them working well. Even the flap control is there, the only issue is that it doesn't move neither trigger the flaps.

If I get it well, I should not set the whole GameData as working directory but only the directory that contrains the .cfg of the IVA ? So Unity doesn't try to touch the ASET props?

Did you add RasterPropMonitor computer  or  MAS Flight computer PartModule to the part you are making an IVA for?

If indicators work normally but controls don't respond to clicking them, make sure that colliders aren't ostructed. They are shown as green boxes or rectangles in Unity editor.

No. You have to set the whole GameData directory in PartTools menu to be able to spawn both spaces and props. If you don't give PartTools access to AsetProps folder it will not be able to spawn them. When you need to save an IVA you should select the space in the window on the left (make sure that you select a space, not props) and click "save to config" on the right window.  PartTools will overwrite the selected IVA cfg and nothing more.

Ok... sounds lie you are doing everything right... Up to the above point.

You set the main GameData folder in the Setup tab of PartTools...
then in the PartTools component on your IVA space root, in Dir URL, is where you tell it to put your IVA cfg and sub-folder...*within* the main GameData folder

In it's current state it totally destroys MAS functionality in all cockpits after the scene reload.   Looks like MAS fails to save  persistent variables for this cockpit when I exit the flight or switch vessels and fails to load any persistent variables for any IVA after this.  Making and testing new props is pain.

I just checked that colliders are fine by making the flap control literally levitate in the cockpit, far away from anything else. The problem unfortunately persists... Could it be that some spaces can't handle certain props? Because once again flap controls work perfectly fine in spaces where they are there by default like in SRS cockpit.

Ok guys, I just created a space for MK3 stock cockpit and put just one flap control and it worked. So it seems that, for some reasons I ignore, MK3 Airliner mod's cockpit can't handle properly some props (sorry for not mentioning before what space I was using, maybe it could have been a clue for you). Perhaps is it a known issue among modder community?

EDIT: I tried to edit an Airplane Plus IVA and once again, flap control doesn't work. Feels like it works only in stock cockpits... Quite weird.

EDIT 2: at the end of the day, Unity just creates a .cfg file so thinking twice about it, it is probably not linked to my way of using Unity.

There can be only one scientifically accurate explanation that doesn't involve aliens or evil curse: a problem with part config. Possible problems: no RPMComputer PartModule or multiple computers for one part. Can you copypaste here a patch that you use to add RasterPropMonitorComputer to the part cfg.

It should look like this:

@PART[My_Precious_Cockpit]

{
    MODULE
    {
        name = RasterPropMonitorComputer
    }
    
    @INTERNAL

    {
        @name = Best_IVA_Ever
    }
}

Thank you Manul, indeed it was the missing RasterPropMonitorComputer module missing in the config file! Now all props work normally.

One last question: is there a way to build an aircraft atmospheric autopilot (heading, vertical speed, altitude...) with the ASET/MOARDV props? I mean like IRL ones, you push a button to activate autopilot then you turn a button and it changes the target value, then this value is transmitted to an aircraft autopilot mod, for example MechJeb2 or Atmospheric Autopilot. The closest thing I found is to use RPM screens as an interface with Baker's kOS script.

[Stone Blue]

@Hippodingo I doubt it... as far as I know, MAS or RPM for that matter, dont have anything close to an autopilot support, beyond current MechJeb of kOS support.

I kknow there are a couple autopilot mods out there for KSP, but i dont believe any MAS/RPM support has been written for them...
I have a feeling it would be a pretty big endeavor

 

 

[Hippodingo]

Hello,

I'm getting much closer to make an aircraft autopilot work in IVA. I'm using a kOS script for this:

This script is able to interact with Atmosphere Autopilot mod.

I end up with this window: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t00gb7zccscw080/Capture d'écran 2023-03-16 233416.png?dl=0

This is the ASET MFD called ALCORMFD40x20 and the IVA space is from DE_IVA extension.

However, nothing happens when I press the MFD buttons. Are there some better/more up-to-date MFDs to interact with kOS?

Here are my logs if it can help: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ngvd6cmeqq11ogn/KSP.log?dl=0

The .ks script is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xrwresspkygia8k/Baker.ks?dl=0, the function interacting with Atmosphere Autopilot is called bakeraa, it notably defines what MFD buttons do.

 

[Stone Blue]

@Hippodingo Wow... very kewl!

Ahh.. for kOS interaction, you might want to try the kOSTerminal MFD:

I'm not sure if the keyboard keys work or not tho
Funnily, that prop was one of the first new Issues logged on the github repo
but if you want to add comments there, I'm sure JonnyOThan & MOARdV would lie to hear them

https://github.com/StoneBlue/ASET-Consolidated-Props/issues/3

There is also this old mod, which I believe still works.

Hello, I added it in an IVA with Unity and put a KAL9000 unit on my test ship but I can't reach the kOS terminal, I tried all buttons (clicked several times on each because I know kOS terminal might be hidden somewhere) but I can't find it

I only get these choices: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p4mpim1vbxhvewc/Capture d'écran 2023-03-17 175816.png?dl=0

Is there something more to do than just adding the kOSTerminal in the space?

Edit: I checked the \Kerbal Space Program\GameData\ASET\ASET_Props\MFDs\kOSTerminal.cfg file, there different page definitions which correspond to what I've seen in-game but no kOS page. Am I missing something?
