The Grand 0.23 Discussion Thread

[rodion_herrera]

Just experienced weird behavior of the RAPIER engines while ascent to orbit. When in automatic mode, they seem to sometimes switch from vacuum to atmospheric mode and back again on a whim. Anyone else experience this? What's going on, or did I do something wrong with the intake setup?

SSTO isn't going well....

[GraviTykillz]

every thing worked perfect for me.Steam user. Thanks Love the look and the tweakables

[I_Killed_Jeb]

All my mods broke. Now I have to wait for them to be fixed before I throw up the laboratory station I just designed and send it to Duna, because I can't dock without mechjeb.

May I humbly suggest that this may be a good time to learn to do orbital redezvous and dock? Lots of good youtube tutorials out there

[Amazingteknique]

definitely gotta say seems to be a plus to have the steam version. I have several copies of ksp and I cant update a single one through the launcher / launcher just totally failing for the past hour.

[Klingon Admiral]

I'm somewhat disappointed by the RAPIER; the Sabre S from the B9 pack is just so much better. =/

[Whackjob]

I think I'll use the enhancements from this update to build a bigger gossamer.

Blank module. Same plan as before... seven to plug together, once I make the specialized modules.

Whenever I try to download from the KSP website, i get a blank page with this message on it:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /host/www.kerbalspaceprogram.com/htdocs/lib/database.php on line 4

MySQL connect failed. Too many connections

GOSH DARN IT TOO MANY PEOPLE DOWNLOADING AT ONCE!

I don't like the way the control surfaces work now, they are very slow and dulled compared to how beautifully responsive they were before.

I was learning by watching mechjeb do it's thing. Doing it for myself was nearly impossible.

[Mr.Rocket]

I hear engineer redux doesnt work.

[Comrade Jenkens]

No 0.23 for me. Both the main site and patcher don't work and I'm off to London so won't have a PC for a while.

[Style-a-Holik]

Thanks SQUAD!! I downloaded it 3 minutes after it was on the ksp site. downloaded in under 2 minutes! \0/

No problems here with downloading luckily! Good luck to the ones who dont have it!

I`m gonna play now because this was the thing what i was waiting for the whole day (Sure that i wasnt the only one!)

[ArmchairGravy]

Shucks, can load my Kethane base up, but when I go back to space center game crashes.

[ArmchairGravy]

It's working for me. *shrug*

Edit: It's not working in VAB, but is working otherwise.

Further edit: While the orbit info works, trying to use any other tab makes the GUI vanish. :/

Clarification

[AlexanderB]

First thing I did was build 2 SSTO's, its.. quite easy with the Rapier..

As for the switching back & forth thing, set the air intakes to an action group, that cuts them off, they switch to vacuum mode + reduces drag.

I don't like the way the control surfaces work now, they are very slow and dulled compared to how beautifully responsive they were before.

I liked the snappy response better too, but I guess this makes it easier to control?

My fps has dropped around 80%. Im getting 20fps in kerbin with a <20part ship...

Having the surface of kerbin in view does this to me, turning the camera skywards, and the FPS is all good.

I turned the graphics down even lower, see if that fixes it..

Getting program hangs when leaving the VAB and SAB (OSX version) . I have a Hyperedit mod installed - will remove that and see if it helps.

EDIT: Remover hyperedit add-on. Seems to help - so far

[The Jedi Master]

An hour and a half to pacth. Not impressed.

[rodion_herrera]

Wow. The framerate increase is definitely noticeable (at least in my laptop) and absolutely welcome! I've never had flights as smooth as the ones I'm having at the moment with v0.23. Those optimizations and the Unity upgrade really did great stuff under the hood, it seems.

[Godot]

The patcher never works for major releases. Hotfixes, yes. But otherwise, it's easier to do a full download.

Patcher worked for me.

Has it always been the case that a Kerbonaut on EVA is running if I press Shift + W ? (instead of just walking with W alone)

Well, looks like the server's already melted. Thank Sysadmin, the forums are somewhere else.

This does depend on the gravity of the world you are on, but yes

[Lions]

Having some issues to EVA my kerbels from the command module, but otherwise all seems ok

Dang, there have been so many situations in the past where this knowledge had been very handy.

But, well, I guess my Kerbonauts in the future will get much faster back to their ship, if they´re running out of jetpack fuel
