I like the new release so far, also no crashes on KSP 0.24 32bit.

But, the 3.75m Fairing Cone and Walls (wide and normal) are a bit trickier to assemble like in the previous build, seems there is something odd with the default rotation.

Is it because all parts in VAB are turned 90° or is it just me doing something wrong?

I have a problem where the interstage decouplers won't decouple when staged. I still have control over the previous stage. The regular decouplers work fine, though.

(There's a spelling error in this thread name. Available is spelled wrong.)

Tex, that sounds like a decoupler force bug. From what I've read it's specific to the x64 build of v0.24, which I'm not running yet as my computer wouldn't benefit from it (only have 4 gigs ram on this machine).

Can you try that with the 32 bit version and report back? Totally understandable if the answer to that is a no, as not everybody has time or hard drive space to install KSP twice.

I would, but I haven't used any fairings yet in 0.24, and I'm running more mods as they are updated to 0.24 or I discover them.

The fairings were working fine in 0.23.5, but I wasn't running the 64 bit "hack" of that, and something might have changed between versions of KW, so I'm not sure how relevant that is.

Hey All,

First off, thanks for downloading the new version.

Now, a word on compatibility, bugs and various. KW rocketry at it's core is purely a parts pack, as a result of this there's a certain limit to the scope of bugs we can actually deal with or help out with.

I'll use the interaction of Hot Rockets as an example, The effects system for the majority of KW Rocketry stuff has shoved over to the new system and as a result any interaction Hot Rockets may have setup with KW will be broken. I'm sure there are other similar cases with different mods with various interactions that may need to be reworked.

64Bit in general seems to also have it's own massive issues, looking through all the posts this seems to be a fairly consistent common factor among an entire array of completely separate bugs. I've had a look at some stuff but alot of it has so many other mods and things to consider that I wouldn't want to fathom even trying to replicate or touch the problem.

Now that I've said that I'll chime off a list of some of the stuff I have taken a look at and confirmed as bugged and reworked:

-The "no autoshroud" decoupler files in extras are incorrect, I killed the auto shroud but left the model call up in the config so it still pulls in the model. A relatively easy fix if you know anything about config files. If you don't want to touch them yourself wait until I pump out a fix version and in the mean time use the standard ones.

-The dulled clamp sounds config file in the extras, is wrong due to being taken from a pre .24 fixed version and leads to the part being called up in various career hilarity.

-1m Decoupler called up decoupler GUI instead of part.

Though I'd also say a quick thing about some other points I saw quickly, I'm not going to quote you but I'm sure whoever you are, you will read it.

The balancing of the 1m Vesta was changed as it was one of the parts that was sort of earmarked as being abit too powerful.

The base nodes on the 3.75m fairings were inverted to fix a mirroring issue, so that's why you have to rotate the cone/wall 180 before attaching.

Cheers again guys.

Not 64 bit generally. 64bit windows. I and a few others are running 64bt linux without issue. That tells me there is nothing wrong with KW in regards to 64.

I applaud the increased realism. The throttle response is very well implemented. I would like to see more engines running on RCS. Some smaller RCS engines (1-10 class) and some longer 1.25 and 2.5 meter RCS tanks would be great.

Would you be able to provide craft files for all the craft shown in the OP? Cheers. :)

Sure, I'll get back to you on that.

A couple of them I just threw together for the screenshots without testing them, but they should all work reasonably well.

I also have these problems - running on 0.24 x32 version.

Vanilla decouplers work well, but not the KW ones. I hear the sound of the decoupling, but they still hang on as hell.

My rocket continued with both stage 1 and stage 2 engines all on.

Winston, do you think the issues I'm having in this post: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/51037-0-24-KW-Rocketry-v2-6-Available-New-5m-Parts%21-21-07-2014?p=1289912&viewfull=1#post1289912

...are related to the auto shroud cfgs? I can check them out myself when I get a chance but I'm at work right now and don't have access to a copy of KSP.

The KW regular decouplers work, but not the interstage ones...

Since the focuss seems to be on the 64 bit windows client, let me say I am running that with several other mods without a problem except for the fairings not decoupling as they are supposed to. But I guess that is a general KSP 0.24 issue atm (and I know there is a mod to fix it out there already) and not related to KWR 2.6. But yeah, no crashes or other unexpected behaviour so far with windows 64bit client here...

Sorry for not responding the first time

It's not a problem I've encountered, I can't think what could be causing it unless it's another 64 bit bug.

Try binding Activate Engine and Jettison to two separate action groups and hit your Jettison key after activating the engine.

That 5m ultra heavy lifter engine sound instantly makes me turn the bass to 100% to and wish I was sitting inside :D

Great parts and had fun launching a couple to see how they look, and thanks to x64, no blurry textures! :P

Can`t wait to start using them in career, altho the barebone 5m UH lifter costs nearly 900K lol

Here you go http://puu.sh/alejp/c59d802e12.zip

The rest are included in the pack as subassemblies

edit:

We're just getting a 2.6b version ready with a couple of bug fixes and tweaks which we'll be hosting on Kerbal Stuff as well as the usual places.

Might be a dumb question, but the throttle response is intended? ie. it takes 1.5 seconds for a WildCat-V engine to completely throttle down?

Works great on 64-bit KSP on Win 8.1, btw. Thanks for the update!

Wow, i actually wondered if this mod is still getting expanded at all. And now it doesn't only bring 5m as parts, but in the saturn/apollo design at the same time!

Thanks for the great work, KW Rocketry has been the one big mod (besides b9) i'm always using and a got ton of fun out of it. I love how despite it's size every single part has it's point and there are close to no redundancy's. Adds so much of versatility to rocket construction. The engine-performance being balanced through price is also clever. Sometimes a rough, cheap, and over the top rocket might be better with kw.

No practical feedback, ust wanted to say that.^^

Although: In the VAB, i had the (ksp) mission flag on the SB-4 LFT shining through all parts at one point. Did get fixed after minimizing and reopening the game, so it's probably no issue if other people can't confirm similar stuff happening.

It's supposed to work like this, since it's a early stage lifter engine. I think there are files for instant reaction in the download, if you don't like it.

Have to post my troubles today. I use KSP 64bit.

KSP is stable. I use some other mods, and everything is ok with that.

Today, i tried KW 2.6. I encounterd problems with fairings and no-force while decoubling, but i choose to ignore it and just play the career.

And here started the trouble. After switching many times between VAB and Launchpad, the game crashed with no Crashnotes, several times. I haven't used any KW parts on my ships. Even switching between ships in space and back to KSC made the game crash after a few minutes. After removing the mod, KSP is fine, for 5 hours now.

I don't want to blame the mod here, just report my troubles.

Could there be a conflict between KSP 64bit and some configs of KW? Or could it be a game bug if you have many parts/items installed? Memory is not the problem, KSP_x64.exe uses around 4 GB of 8 GB.

Petal fairing shrunsks when i quickload. And sometimes when i revert to launch too (but not always).

Did you select a fuel tank as your first part instead of a command pod/other part? If so, it's a known bug and currently the only solution is simply not to do that.

In this case I'm guessing you chose the adapter as your root component.

Make a habit of choosing your control module first.
