"Silent" update version 1.0.9.1 released; get it on Kerbal Stuff.

Thanks DMagic, you're the best. This might be my favorite mod.

By the way, is there a benefit to using the scaled-up versions of the parts? Like, does the magnetometer boom collect more data or something? Or is the option simply there in case we want to make a ship cost and weigh more?

It's just for visual reasons. You can create a mini-probe if you want, or make something a bit smaller or larger to fit better.

The XRay surface analyzer does adjust the acceptable height above the surface when using TweakScale, so if you use a bigger version you can place it further away from the surface and still be able to use it.

Started a new game and the parts seem messed up. The dark 'triangle' parts are now just the internals and the parts that hold them aren't showing up.

You do have the Universial Storage mod, right?

Hi!
I'm playing with KSP 1.0.4 and DMagic O.S. 1.0.8 and so far was highly satisfied by putting new stuff to rockets and use it somehow. But today I tried anomalous study contracts and have stuck on this. I can't get does it a bug or I do something wrong. My contract is to study Mun anomaly at 20N and 40E - I associated it with known anomaly at 12N 39E. Got a probe above this location in low orbit and can't get anything from Anomaly Signal Sensor. It's just spinning its dish and reports "no anomalous signal detected" even while mag.boom reports "Results From Anomalous Signal Recovered". So I complete contract's "Return on transmit data from.. experiments" condition and can't complete "Anomaly Scan data while flying above the anomalous signal" condition. There is some screenshots of my tryings while passing anomaly location:

The anomaly scanner requires very close proximity to function. Usually those contracts also include a request for an experiment from the surface, so it isn't an issue. But when you only have orbital science requests I can see how that would be a problem.

I'll see about updating the contract description to specify that the anomaly scanner requires close range, as well as the scanner's VAB description.

[quote name='smjjames']Why is the Magnetometer scanner for metallic ore set so low to under 100km? I think it may also be overriding the metallicore scanner in the planetary survey camera in UKS. Also, the ore scanner in the magnetometer isn't working.[/QUOTE]

All of the magnetometer resource scanners are supposed to be set at 60km max altitude, I just forget to set the stock Ore sensor, though I did set the SCANsat sensors properly.

The idea is that the magnetometer is unlocked early and is not meant to be a replacement for the narrow-band scanner, it can only be used at very low altitudes.

I don't see how any of this would affect the UKS parts, the modules added to the magnetometer, and the Module Manager configs used for the SCANsat sensors and the CRP resources are targeted only to my parts.

And what do you mean that the ore scanner function doesn't work? There may be an issue because of the mismatch between the different Ore scanner configs' max altitudes, but it should otherwise be working fine.
