The new GUI has a reset feature now, so it creates a new config file called usercloudlayers.cfg when you make changes. You'll need to update it and give me the usercloudlayer config. But don't rush, i can wait.

If you wanna know the exact problem i'm having, the clouds are not changing at all. Nothing is changing so....it would be nice if you could update it. Trying not to sound forcey or anything, but it would be really nice if you could update it as soon as you can.

Try this one. Just make sure you have the textures in the texture folder.

Right, correct me if I'm wrong, but calculating a Geo-Sync transfer is the same as stock Kerbin, for example, if I burn at 0 degrees latitude, I'll arrive at roughly 138 degrees latitude? Could anyone help, I'm trying to set up a geo-sync com sat network

You will arrive at approx. 100º of longitude (not latitude) forward. I did the calculations here. Basically:

- The flight time to apoapsis for a GTO orbit is 5h 20m (19,165 seconds).

- Also, considering that a Hohmann transfer puts your apoapsis 180º away from the initial burn.

- Earth moves at 464m/s, a degree of longitude is 111km wide, so in 5h 20m it will rotate 8,892km, or 80º of longitude.

- You move 180º, Earth moves 80º, then the difference is 100º.

Thanks Jack! I didn't really understand what ferram4 was talking about...

v5.2 \/

*Fixed Titan's atmosphere

*Fixed solar panels (I hope)

*Added configurable atmospheres per Starwaster's work.

Note that I haven't had a chance to add the new orbital params yet, sorry. This is just because testers verified the solar panel fix worked.

Nathan, solar panels are still not working for me :(, I've had to install the AEIS pack as a work around.

I just set-up a test ship sat as KSC. Sun exposure on one of the 1x6 panels was at .99, energy flow was at 0.03. If needed I can upload a screenshot or whatever else you need. Running your V5.2.

Is there anything we can do to make the planets look better. Only thing this mod is missing is decent looking planet textures at this scale. It's literally the only thing missing from me being able to sit covered in tinfoil with a bowl on my head pretending to be an astronaut.

I've played with the universe replacer mod but it's still a question of scale. If anyone can point out what I'd need to do I can certainly do the donkey. While I'm not very advanced technically I do have some experience with Photoshop and 3D modelling and do have an abundance of time on my hands and would like to be able to contribute in some way?

The problem is that texture size is limited to 8K. you can download an 8K texture pack for universe replacer but the textures will still be blury. Nathan said he is working on a way to get around it I think.

Tl:dr, some bodies are much smaller, Kerbin and Laythe orbit Jool (same orbit, hopefully 180 degrees apart), Gilly has the same surface gravity as Kerbin (if you stand on its mountains, that is), and Bop is an asteroid to visit for more early science. Moho is lower, Mun is orbiting Eve and Eve is in a retrograde orbit. Ike is now orbiting Duna with a very fast rotational period. Dres is replaced by Tylo, Dres and Eeloo orbit Tylo, Minmus and Vall are switched, both are smaller. I wonder if the Magic Boulder still orbits Ike if I make it bigger...

If you're still having problems with solar panels (Kass et al) try placing this file in the RealSolarSystem folder (GameData/RealSolarSystem)

If asked if you want to overwrite the existing file, yes you do. And you should be out of the game so you can restart it.

RealSolarSystemSettings.cfg

(Nathan, the numbers need to be exp notation. Or at least the big ones; I did them all like that just because...)

Hey, is it possible to get the inverse equation for the solar panels without getting the whole mod? Loving the work, but it isnt just my piece of the pie. But I would like the normal equation for solar panels because it is kind of annoying that an OX-stat can power my probe beyond eeloo orbit...

What you can do is edit the powerCurve in the solar panels. The easiest way to do that is with ModuleManager 1.5 and a config file similar to the solar panel fixer I made available for this mod. But you don't want to use that exact file because the distances are calibrated for the mod not stock.

powerCurve is a series of keys showing the distances that power is multiplied by given values.

I'm getting 0.15 charge per second (post-fix) with the best encased 3x2 solar panels with 1.00 exposure, parked at KSC. Even this only seems borderline enough for RT2 signal needs plus the probe body's native consumption. AIES solar panels are slightly worse, not enough for even a simple satellite in LKO that wants to do anything besides look cool as it soars above the planet. Does this seem right?

Are you using NKReal or its successor RealismOverhaul?

I'm only using the RealismOverhaul v1b with the RealSolarSystemSettings.cfg posted by Starwaster in this thread.

Edit: "Only" besides your other projects like MFS, RSS, etc.
