[0.20.2] Project Arcturus: Thrust Corrector, Remission and Range Safety

[Absolute Human]

There is a proper fix availabe now, thanks to PrivateFlip!

Okay finally got around to do this. As I attempted to compile the unaltered code to see how it functions in game and how the new 0.23 ModuleEngine conflicts with the mod which wasn't apparent from the code, I ended already solving the problem

Here's the download link. If you or anyone familiar with the mod could verify its correct functioning? In my testing the mod did reduces the max thrust at sealevel which slowly climbed up to close to the normal maximum at around 35.000 meter.

Hello, I've recently made the tiny fixes needed to bring this mod up to date with .23 as mentioned in the post above by Absolute Human. The website on which this thing is hosted will go down in about a week.

Here's a new dropbox link.

Until CaptainArbitrary returns, his last post was July the 19th, or someone else shows interest to continue the development of this mod, I'm will try to maintain this "Strawberry" version of the thrust corrector here. If you're having issues with it let me know (I've subscribed to this thread but you can of course send me a pm if I'm taking to long to respond).

Cool!

Just a note that you might want to check and make sure the engine part doesn't have a ModuleEngineConfigs or ModuleHybridEngine present, and if so, don't do anything (since RF does its own thrust correction, and will also not have the same maxThrust you cached anyway).

Oh, and to support procedural engines (like the solid motor in StretchySRB) you should store maxThrust *after* all parts have executed OnStart, else you'll store the wrong maxThrust.

Does the range safety thing detonate parts that are detached after it's activated? e.g. if I have a probe core on my lifter and something goes wrong, I have a command pod with kerbals and LES. the abort sequence fires the LES, detatches the command pod, and would blow up the launch vehicle. Right? Or would the fiery explosion also miraculously jump between crafts and still kill the kerbals?

Thanks for the info. To be honest I was planning to maintain the core feature and only make adjustments on a complaint basis. Which basically means that until there actually is a user who's having an issue in using it in combination with a another mod, I don't do anything.

Excuse me, do you have any plans of updating this mod to 1.0.2? It would be nice to really use one of these!
