[1.2] Real Solar System v12.0 Dec 8

[Jetwave]

Will selecting a planet in the tracking station give the new sizes, mass and atmosphere heights, or will it still show the default ones?

[NathanKell]

Everything is correct except the planet's name--even the description is correct, thanks to TheKosmonaut! The problem there is that Squad uses the same field for ID and name, so changing the name changes the ID, which breaks things.

[Starwaster]

That looks fantastic Nathan!

I think with this it's time I finally try out RSS. Goodbye ~2km/s orbital velocity, hello hard mode!

Make sure to have your heat shield with you.

Make sure your heat shield is upgraded.

[Mr.Rocket]

I must say, the NEW PLANET TEXTURES LOOK AMAZING! Hopefully with 64-bit it will run really well with all realism mods. I am so making a new .24 install for this!

[maccollo]

Does v7 require the 64 bit version? I tried to run that but switched back to 32 bit pretty quickly due to all the issues it had.

[tmikesecrist3]

still cant get ksp to load, dont know what the issue is I am wondering if the problem might be RO which hasent been updated yet. at this point I have starting over with a clean install

[maccollo]

The planet textures look really good, unfortunately I can't say the same for the ground level textures.

Is it possible to modify these colors by just tweaking some texture somewhere?

Just got to try this mod for the first time.. Completely blown away.. Great job!

Question. The link to the cfg file in the op for a 1/10th scaled version of RSS doesn't work with 7.0.. Is there an easy way to convert that cfg to work with the newer version? Or has someone already? I'd rather have a 1/10th scale RSS to avoid having to install RO to balance it out.

Thanks again for the hard work obviously put into this!

The lazy/fast way would be to cut down the radius of all planets by 10, but that will probably ruin their gravity assuming you don't change mass as well. You should snap the 1/10th config to one side of your screen an 7.0 to the other, then change mass/gravparameter, radius and anything else. Basically make the 7.0 have the same numbers as 1/10th does.

I must say this new release is great! I'd like to report 2 minor glitches:

Hmm.. I may try option B if I feel adventurous.. I love how the solar system is more accurate but the scale of everything is just a bit overwelming for me. I like challenges but it's just a bit much for my skill level. Seems much easier to just go with a 1/10th scale RSS instead.

I will say.. I always appreciated space travel but after seeing everything in the correct scale etc.. I have a much larger appreciation for it.

[AndreyATGB]

I appreciate realism, but my FPS doesn't agree with me. I think I'll go without asteroids but the sheer number is pretty cool to look at, if only I had a "track all" button.

[tmikesecrist3]

my word how did that happen

[AndreyATGB]

my word how did that happen

Time warp a year.

[tmikesecrist3]

oh maybe its a bug some where they should dissaper after a time if your not tracking it

It is indeed something in the way custom asteroids handles high time warps. That being said, if you don't time warp at such extreme levels, you're usually going to see at most 10-20 asteroids active at any one time...

EDIT: I should also point out that once you have hundreds of rocks like that, the vast majority will disappear if you time warp (at a lower rate) for about 20 days.

[AndreyATGB]

Yeah that's what I did, they're gone now. It's hard to avoid warping at extreme rates (more than 100000x) since it would take for ever for anything to reach any planet.

[SpacedInvader]

My solution to this problem is generally to have a very busy space program going (it's amazing how much maintenance a couple of stations can need with the station science mod and TACLS), so that I've always got something to do while my missions are in progress, though I've yet to launch beyond Mars, so that could make give me a different perspective on the issue...

That being said, I'm probably going to work on the generation rates and persistence time in the next release such that a single asteroid will persist for a long time (maybe as long as a year, though I've not settled on a figure yet), but then only a very small amount are generated in that time. I think this should mitigate the growth rate quite a bit.

Can you take link for download all new version Real Solar System ?

[ziom4556]

AndreyATGB can you take your folder with Real Solar System on Mediafire for me? I have some problem with installation.

[styckx]

I tried to start converting the 1/10th scale cfg to use on v7.

There is so many changes between the two.. It's not going to be possible for me. Besides there being an entire new curve field (temperatureCurve), there are some other new fields, and then the names of some fields have changed.

For instance.

New config

AtmosphereFromGround

{

innerRadius = 6307290 // 0.99

outerRadius = 6530275 // 1.025

//invWaveLength = 0.75, 0.82, 0.89, 0.55

Old

fooAtmosphereFromGround

{

outerRadiusMult = 1.04

transformScale = 1.04

innerRadiusMult = 0.975

Too much work for me and I don't know enough about these numbers to attempt it. Oh well, I tried..

Finished off the 10x kerbol work for 6.2. Updating to 7 now.

Only Moho and Eve are scaled up. The rest remain the same size. You can see my config at http://www.infradead.org/~jsimmons/RealSolarSystem.cfg. Thanks for helping out.

You didn't close brackets here:

				maxLevel = 14
				maxQuadLenghtsPerFrame = 0.001

[jsimmons]

Tabbing issues. I was seeing if disabling LandControl would help, Nope. I updated the config with proper tabbing and remove the disable LandControl section. Same results.
