[0.90] Kerbin Shuttle Orbiter System v4.13

[Z3R0_0NL1N3]

Has anyone added a TAC config for the Super 25? TAC's AddResources cfg seems like it's supposed to automatically add resources to any part with crew, but it doesn't seem to work for the KSO. Any solutions?

[Angelo Kerman]

New part for the shuttle! There's a new version of Multipurpose Colony Modules available:

0.2.5: Fixed a template issue preventing the Equipment storage template from working. Fixed a problem that prevented the Inflatable Multipurpose Warehouse (IMW)

from remembering if it was inflated or deflated. Fixed a problem with the IMW that prevented it from remembering its max storage amounts when the scene loads.

Fixed an issue where the MCM would not know what templates it had after loading into a scene. Added Rocket Workshop MCM template and RocketParts MBU/IMW

templates. Added Skydock 250 part.

As always, the latest version is available on the front page, but you can also download it here.

By any chance would you be willing to tell me which few parts I need for only the gimbled engines?

I've found a compatibility bug with Remote Tech 2. If I use the KSO Mechjeb case for a craft with Remote Tech 2 mod installed it erease some Remote Tech 2 functions.

You should have a normal green connection but it gives a local control even if the craft (probe in my case) is unmanned. I hope it can be useful.

KSOS Mission 23 has completed!

Freedom delivers another Outpost-class commercial space station into orbit for a contractor, and Bill, Bob, and Jeb become the first kerbals to orbit Minmus

This is a DRE cfg patch for the smaller KSO shuttle. Just drop it in anywhere in the GameData folder (preferably a tweaks folder that you maintain for Module Manager patches). It has been tested for stock sized Kerbin and should work with Real Solar System as well. (reentry speeds are faster)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dcz95jl7jp450h5/dre_KSO.SW.cfg?dl=1

This one is for the KSO25. It's not a proper patch and you need to replace the existing KSO25 config file. (If I remember correctly it's in the GameData/KSO/FX folder....)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4j4r99yb1bjp8wz/kso25_dre.cfg?dl=1

The KSO25 configs are carefully crafted to apply different settings depending on if you play stock Kerbin or Real Solar System. If you use it with Real Solar System, the reflection ratings are increased substantially and a special massless resource is introduced that represents the heat shield tile's capacity to soak up heat. (when HeatCapacity in a part is depleted it can overheat)

So I tried this config and it didnt work using FAR, any ideas?

[combat squirrel]

Ok it half works, the landing gear explodes as do the rear rudders, I found something about adding reflective heatsheld to these parts but I am not a coder and do not know how, anyone got a config with this added?

[combat squirrel]

Anyone ?

Are you using the Super 25 or the original 1.8 orbiter? I had to tweak the Super 25's DRE config to survive re-entry. Also, you might try performing a shallow de-orbit to ease the stress. I forget the name of it but there is a mod that predicts trajectories, and that might be helpful to getting down in one piece; just plot a shallow de-orbit that ends up at KSC.

Combat Squirrel,

I'm sure someone will know the answer but they could be at work, school, family stuff, etc. just give them a little more time.

Yeah tried all that, its simply that the thing was built without DRE in mind, its the super 25 I have ONLY, I have added station parts and thats it, to try and keep part counts down, how did you tweak it to enable landing gear and rudders to survive ? - I used that star chaser patch for the rest which works but that doesnt consider the landing gear or rudder.

I tried to add them by copy and pasting the code in star chaser mod, and obviously changing the @part to the landing and rudders, but it had no effect, any pointers on how to edit it or someone upload a config that works would be amazing

[Angelo Kerman]

What I did is found the max temperature for the rudders and landing gear in the dre file, and set them to 2500. Then when I reenter the atmosphere, I hold an attitude of 10-15 degrees to use the shuttle body to shield the rudders. That works well for.me.

I just tried that, its doing NOTHING, what exactly did you edit ? I did the DRE file :'( UGGH which one ? lol

[combat squirrel]

FINALLY found the right config, my install is now 'perfect' YAYYY thanks dudes

[Angelo Kerman]

Cool. By the way, is anybodu still interested in the mission chronicles? If not I'll just keep them on my own thread.

[Turk_WLF]

Angel-125,

I can't speak for anyone else but I for one am very interested in The Mission Chronicles, they lift my spirits after I keep on Crashing the KSO on every landing .

[Tangle]

I kinda both doubt and hope deep in my heart that this works in 0.90.

[Angelo Kerman]

Ok, in that case I have a few more:

No doubt it will after mod updates.

[helldiver]

Hrm, currently crashing KSP when it starts.

Ahh well. Looks like we finally hit that texture limit

Firespitter broke in 0.90, so KSOS definitely broken. Once all the mods this relies on gets updated, I'll try and update the downloads.

Firespitter broke in 0.90

Im pretty sure Firespitter breaks after every major update... lol. Hopefully once it (and others) get updated KSOS will work.

[qnistNAMEERF]

Yeah. Don't expect a working mod environment a day after an update until they implement a proper plugin/modding api that doesn't break with every update.

EDIT: on the plus side, it looks like snjo might update firespitter this time.

[Las-pen]

This cockpit and maybe engine base for the new MK3 fuselage. I would be so happy.

RoverDude made a "SUPER HACKY FIX" for Firespitter that "MAY OR MAY NOT EAT CHILDERN". I'm still at work, but I can test it when I get home in an hour or so.

[OrbitusII]

Yeah. Don't expect a working mod environment a day after an update until they implement a proper plugin/modding api that doesn't break with every update.

Suddenly, a disembodied voice whispers... "Minecraaaaft..."

KSP's modding system is quite nice, but we can't expect it to work all the time every time. It's the unfortunate side effect of software being modifiable in the first place.
