If I install this will my current space stations disappear?

As long as none of the parts for the space stations are deleted, then no. Backup your saves just to be sure.

Almost definitely, sorry.

[Kreuzung]

I don't trust kerbal.net.

Sorry but why? Some paranoya program blocking it?

[SzaboMarton_D]

They still work. You should remember to save copies of everything. I'd give them to you if CBBP approved.

maybe somehow integrate them into one or more of the eletric plugins...because...obviusly they belong there, would be cool.

We have better plans for the station pack:sticktongue:

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

i would have had the bloody VA redone and been doing some SSPP stuff but 3ds max does not want to coorperate....

if you are wondering what i am doing i am making the V textures and SSPP doors match the size with ORDA docking which fits kerbals through it theoretically perfectly... thus redoing and getting a nice new kosmos berthing door made.

[Nibb31]

Do you plan on adapting the ORDA to Dragon Rider when you're done with the VA ? It could use a slight rebalance and the nodes of the nose cone could be adjusted to fit the ORDA docking ring.

I'm having a wierd bug where my engines are still firing after iv'e run out of fuel, they don't produce any thrust, but they seem to explode at random, and there is no way to shut them down.

I'm using the LK pack

For those wanting a Ladder on the VA. there has been a solution. . decided to put the ladder on the lock down itself and attach it to the umbilical. The umbilical is also much nicer and as you can see I am normal mapping it quite a bit. This should allude to the detail that the new SSPP will have once they are created.

I'm having some strange issues here. The gimballed engines have a tendency to shift from their attachment points. Any way to fix this? Also, I'm having some wicked problems with control. Any recommendations?

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

always attach engines firmly with struts. theya re powerful so they slide easily. struts will fix this.

as for the control. it is because they are long tanks. the COG is more realistic. have to learn to fly all over agian

[NAMROG]

I seem to have a problem with some of the engines.

RD-0146

RD-0440

Both smoke in the VAB, but are also not visible icons in the stage launcher.

[sysigy]

Maybe it's just me being stupid or maybe I've missed something in the readme's somewhere but...

How do I get crew into the VA pod at launch ?

Every rocket I build with the VA pod always has no crew, is this intentional or is there something I am missing ?

Thanks

[Nibb31]

They are in there, they just don't show up on the screen because there is no interior view. Right-click the capsule hatch and you will see their name.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

I knew my Kerbal stand in model was accurate but damn.. cannot get much better than this. they mesh almost perfectly funny that just their hair shows hahaha.

[Major_Wales]

This is such an amazing modpack! I cannot wait till the station pack is released. The older parts were really good - also nice to hear you are making it compatible with ORDA in the future!

Right clicking on the VA pod does nothing, no menu like with the standard pods. Still no crew. I'm using Kerbal v0.17 and the latest version of the VA pod from post #1 of this thread.

Make sure you're using the kreuzig (not spelled right) plugin from the VA pack. Then if that doesn't work, go to the VA command pod part.cfg, open it up in notepad, and make sure that crewcapacity is set to 3. Note: If the crew capacity is set above 3, then you won't see your kerbals in the lower right, but they will be in the pod.

Now if that doesn't work, and you haven't already, re-download the VA pack and replace the other VA parts. If that doesn't work, create a new install of KSP (put it in another folder) and install the VA to that. If that works, then someone screwed something up somewhere at sometime. I had to do a fresh install of KSP to get the decoupler to work. The exhaust particles from the nose thrusters still has it's glitch (I even re-downloaded the va pack from Kerbal.net last night), but that's minor.

Ahhh, I see what's happened... the VA pod has been overwritten by the VA parts from the v0.16 SSPP, I accidentally installed them in the wrong order. Thanks for the help

The new VA pod is 2.0 in size compared to it's old scaling.

Looking forward to the v0.17 SSPP

Does this mean the VA is getting a custom IVA scene?

[melak47]

Love the new parts!

There seems to be a slight alignment issue with the new Lander Legs though:

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

yeah I know. I need to redo the LK parts at some point.

[Synthesis]

Maybe someone could offer some advice: when properly strut'd to the fuel tanks, the rocket engines provide great stability--but their performance seems rather weak for putting up higher payloads, even with +4 assistance liquid engines! For example, putting a medium or larger KTVK fuel tank along with the nuclear engine into even low orbit seems impossible! Is there a very specific engine arrangement you need to use for the first two stages (4+1 fuel tanks) or am I just a really bad pilot? Or is it something to do with having 4 of those engines without thrust vectoring and only one with?

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

engines need alittle more tweaking I think. and we need to make bigger launch vehicle tanks. there are ways to get it there none cheat. but for the larger KVTK tanks I would just use the cheap menu

It is becoming apparent it is very difficult to make one with out having an actually 100% real kerbal model. so today I will probably keep moving the kerbal seats in order to take quite alot of pictures and edit my stand in model to be even more accurate to the kerbals sitting position. it will suck... but it is needed.
