biohazard15 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Please consider adjusting 4MV's pressure limits for KSRSS. The probe explodes while flying mid-Venusian atmosphere in 2.5x rescaled system due to, well, exceeding pressure limits.

Rescale config does not change atmospheric pressure). How exactly pressure limits work in KSP? Is it possible to have things fail after some time? Or it's just plain "you go over a certain limit, you die on the spot"? Would be cool if probe worked for a limited time before succumbing to environment, just like the real thing did. 2 hours ago, Daniel Prates said: .... shouldn't it, though...?

Official releases should not have deprecated parts installed - I recommend a clean install. Copy paste the folder "N1" , then in the config files - you will need to make sure the paths pointing to the models are correct. TantaresSAF Version 1.0 This took a while, but this mod is finally no longer a weird secret download. Should be available on CKAN soon. TantaresSAF - GitHub (Simple Adjustable Fairings) To use these, you need Simple Adjustable Fairings! Hey, with the SAF Progress fairing, would it be possible to make variations for the soyuz parts to make them look like the Soyuz 2.1 boosters/core and a white staging plate? Intercolor has gray core parts but its just not dark enough, Would be very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I think it's just a flat number, rather than any cool mechanic for crunching over time. 1 hour ago, CardZLol said: Hey, with the SAF Progress fairing, would it be possible to make variations for the soyuz parts to make them look like the Soyuz 2.1 boosters/core and a white staging plate?

If you have a possibility to open a GitHub issue on the TantaresLV repo, I will have a better chance to remember. yorb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including a few more "stock" texture elements I think they're looking the real deal now. Balancing might still be off, I think they should both still be capable of their intended use. As always, feedback is very helpful, especially for balance (which I'm terrible at)! Thanks for all the support! I think next I'll work on some alternate colour schemes.

MashAndBangers Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 On this episode of the VA meltdown saga: M&B discovers spooky heating! So I decided to boot up KSP and look into the VA and it's heatshield. But you know what? I'm lazy. So I use the cheat to orbit option then do my normal re-entry... only this time the VA stays cool as a cat on bread. Well now I'm stumped. So normal launch just to be sure. VA esplodes upon re-entry..... WELP now I'm stumped. If you cheat the VA/TKS and Proton to orbit, the VA doesn't heat up. If you do a normal launch, VA heats up and explodes. Here is my craft file. I'm in JNSQ, 150x150km orbit at 45 degrees inclination. I de-orbit until Mechjeb landing guidance says 4.4g. And yes, I have cheat orbited the whole proton stack to see if it's a part interaction with the fairings or the Launch Escape Tower, but it might be KSP's buggy heat system.

Jcking Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I wonder if SAF even supports holes like that. The other option if SAF doesn't allow that is to make the faring actual parts with a decoupler for them (like the BDB GATV fairing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I double checked that last night, the Ablator sits nice and cozy on the way up. I also downloaded a fresh 1.11.2 and installed JNSQ and other mods, and the problem persists.
