Breaking News update from, somewhere.

I had been talking with someone else on the forum (JPLRepo), and I was able to track down a download of the mod in the old Kerbalstuff torrent.

I was testing it with 1.0.5, and it does in fact work. Mostly. Plane parts are borked.

Erm, has anyone recompiled the mod for 1.1.2? I can't continue with my current project without it, and I don't have the time to recompile it myself right now. This is all very confusing.

Any updates on this wonderful mod?

As the author hasn't been on the forum since start of March, I'm guessing no.
I'll take a look later on today at re-compiling it, unless someone else finds the time before me.

Under the MIT license I Rebuilt for KSP 1.1.3 - only changes I made were numerous fixes since this was last updated to make it work in KSP 1.1.3.
MIt license included in download ZIP.
Still requires Blizzy ToolBar (I did not add code to use the stock applauncher, let's see if the author returns first).

I'm not taking over this mod or supporting it. I fixed it to work in KSP 1.1.3 and tested it and it appears to be working.
Let's see if the author comes back.

Thanks a bunch dude!

Is it possible to use this to replicate the post-mission flight data visuals from Ace Combat? like with the line generating animation and such?

@JPLRepo Would you be able to recompile this mod for 1.2?

@HatBat and anyone else.
I've fixed this up for KSP 1.2 including fixing part loading (which I think was broken previously) it now loads all the correct parts for replay vessels.
Added stock Application Launcher Icon support. (You can still use ToolBar as well), change between the two via the in-game Settings - Difficulty menu.

Known issues I found in testing:
All Lights, Ladders, Antenna open automatically on replay vessels. - Needs to be fixed.
Sometimes the replay vessels spawn with the wrong orientation, going back to SC and back seems to fix this? - This needs to be fixed.
Struts are appearing as part of the replay vessels in the wrong place (although I think looking at the code they aren't supposed to spawn) - This needs to be fixed.
Under the original MIT license.

@JPLRepo Did you have a look at fixing some of the issues with this mod? Do you think it will be compatible with 1.2.1? 

[Colonel Cbplayer]

Would it be possible to use this mod to turn the game into an animation program?

By directly editing the replay files and a good camera mod cant you make really cool cinematics without ever having to fly a craft yourself?

hey @JPLRepo hopefully a simple request - can the trails dialog show more precision in kilometers? Out to three decimal places, if possible

Which dialog are you referring to?
Just updating this for 1.3 and looking at those couple of bugs from last time.
Think I'll open a new thread for this mod as well seeing how @SirJodelstein hasn't been back to the forums since Sept last year.

I meant the main window, where you can see the distance of the trail in meters and then kilometers. Would be great to have extra precision in the readout when it switches over to km. Regardless, thanks for the (forthcoming) update!

Oh I see. yes that's completely doable. and... done. (edit) assuming 3 decimal places is sufficient.

that's what I asked for Thanks! Look forward to using it on v1.3 eventually

[JPLRepo]

I've published a continuation of this mod..

Should @SirJodelstein return I will more than willingly hand it back over to them.
