Realism packs for historical mods

[Guest]

OK, sorry to postpone stuff further, but 0.23 broke things. A lot. So, I need to wait until the dependencies are updated to resume work. Until then, the mod is stalled. On the other hand, I'll try to include new features from big plugin updates that are now coming. Rest assured, the next update will be glorious. Tweakables will help with a lot of different issues that I have encountered, and I'll even try to give MIR science lab functionality!

That sounds great for the MIR/Lab functionality, but why not make another module as well, that mimics the lab from KSPI? After all, the crew on the ISS (and MIR?) were there to conduct on going science experiments. Shame about 0.23 breaking stuff though, I've seen a few plugin based mods damaged by it.

any fix in the making ? for 0.23

[Guest]

Well, let's just say that the mod will be re-done completely. 0.23 and subsequent plugin updates changed the picture completely. I never anticipated that, a lot of things need to be completely reformatted, redone and/or changed.

Because of that, I completely changed my priorities. I decided to focus on the FASA pack I'm co-developing with NathanKell. After that, I will probably do Yogui's ESA pack, because the rockets included are rather simple and well documented.

In the background, I will be fixing Soviet realism pack, but since BobCat will probably release the revised Soyuz soon, I'm not sure how I will adjust to his new release scheme. He will be able to return to work in January, at which point I'll contact him and talk about updates. MrTheBull's addons generally depend on BobCat's, so I don't know what I will need to do with them, either. Although, the Angara and PPTS might be released earlier, but PPTS is giving me problems, so I'm not promising anything.

Sorry I couldn't deliver on earlier promises, but 0.23 was a really game-changing update, also because huge changes to plugins that happened after it. On the other hand, this update may feature a lot more ships than originally planned. I'll definitely be able to include all MrTheBull's ships, including the Vostok. Also, it will be possible to configure the Soyuz stages as all rockets from the R7 family except those that use different engines. Unless BobCat models an RD-0124 equipped upper stage, that is. Similarly, the Vostok upper stage would also work as Luna, and Proton will have Proton-M and Proton-K variants (externally, they hardly differ). Blok D will also be featured in a number of configurations. This is all thanks to new Real Fuels features.

That said, I'm not promising anything at this point. It depends on how much free time I will have and how the move to 0.23 goes.

Is there a realism patch for Bobcat's American Pack yet?

[Guest]

No, and I ran into problems making one. So there might not be one in the near future, unfortunately.

[Deathsoul097]

Ran into problems with the EDS again, or something else this time?

[Guest]

Ares I wobbles itself apart, KJR or not. That said, I want to go back to it someday, perhaps together with Ferram (so that we could make custom tweaks to KJR handling of it). I've got too much on my plate right now, though.

Hi Dragon, I got your mod and have been having some trouble with my (without any payload) Soyuz vehicle, it's only posting 6747 delta-v according to Mechjeb. Though reading the rest of the thread it looks like it isn't up-to-date for .23, is that the case?

[Guest]

Yeah, 0.23 changed so bloody much that I still have trouble getting it to work. I don't know when the fixed version will be out, I'm sort of waiting for BobCat to finish his remakes, not to mention I don't have much time right now (exams!).

[junkie_business]

Ah that's alright then. I've been pulling my hair out enough over RO without any help from this too. Take your time mate, and good luck with the exams.

[BombastixderTeutone]

Is this patch still being maintenanced?

[Guest]

Unfortunately, I can't use RSS for now. When I get back to it, I will make a new patch, because this one is outdated and inaccurate in a few places. Waiting for ECLSS killed this one, I'd be better off starting over with TAC.

Good news is, I made it through those exams. The second semester is hectic, though, and I'm afraid I won't get to it until holidays.

Hey, when you done with exams maybe you could look into all the rockets not supporting RF5 and don't contain 1/10 enough the fuel for RSS. Good job otherwise, and god speed with exams, just finished mine X)

[Guest]

I will definitely work on this stuff. Note that I got involved with BobCat ind. again, meaning I'm again drawn off RSS and into "stock-size" KSP. The upside is, I'll be able to re-release BobCat's stuff now and update it to 0.23.5 (and beyond). Soviet Pack will be back, I hope.
