ble210 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Does this work ok in 1.6? I've seen conflicting reports throughout various forum topics, and figured I'd ask here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybot Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 It does not fully work for 1.5 yet, so 1.6 is still a ways off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I'm playing in 1.4.5 and although KCT seems to work largely OK I am unable to use KCT to 'Recovery Active Vessel'. I get the error "There was an error while recovering the ship. Sometimes reloading a scene and trying again works. Sometimes a vessel just can't be recovered this way and you must use the stock recovery system' Can anyone else using KCT with 1.4.5 or above successfully use 'Recover Active Vessel' ?

I was using the experimental build for 1.5, which I thought (apparently erroneously) would be more functional than the 1.4 build was, even if i was incomplete. I guess I could have stuck with the stable release. 7 hours ago, DC said: Can anyone else using KCT with 1.4.5 or above successfully use 'Recover Active Vessel' ? That has been hit or miss for a while, something hopefully high on the todo list to overhaul since being taken over by westamastaflash.

TGApples Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Does KCT correctly check for unavailable parts when you add to the construction list? It seems if I have a ship with a part I only had access to due to a test contract I can continue to construct that using KCT. I'm not 100% sure what the default behaviour is, but I strongly suspect it would prevent me from launching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience -- you "hang onto" that part for as long as you don't fully recover a craft with it on. I seem to remember getting an engine or other part early, then continued to use it after completing the contract, and before unlocking the node. I may be misremembering this...

BlackHat Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) What is the criteria for recovering a vessel/plane to VAB/SPH through KCT? I have always just used the Game's Stock Recover button before, but after seeing someone on a YouTube video do recoveries through KCT, I tried it a couple times but got warning messages Cant recover through KCT use the stock recovery. SO, What are the advantages of doing a KCT recovery, and what are the limits? (ie do you have to be within xx distance from Pad or Runway?)

SO, What are the advantages of doing a KCT recovery, and what are the limits? (ie do you have to be within xx distance from Pad or Runway?) Stock recovery simply tidies everything up, returns kerbals and science and gives you funds based on the vessel and how close you are to the KSC. KCT recovery recovers the vessel intact and adds it back to your list of ready ships (after a suitable time delay to allow for recovery) meaning you don't have to built a new one from scratch. I don't know about limitations in terms of distance etc, I've mostly used it from the Launchpad because I've suddenly realised something is wrong (wrong crew, missing equipment etc) just before I launch !

BlackHat Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Thanks. Next Question. Is the Real Chutes Mod by Stupid Chris, supported? I recently noticed that while all my other parts are gaining Generations, the Parachutes from Chris's mod are not (no Gen info or safety info) and are always listed as new parts, and in Scrapyard I have about 30 chutes all with 1 use. When selecting one of these to substitute for the new part on my craft, they stil show as new, with no Gen or Safety info.

This is ringing a bell for me--that some form of tracking/integration was added to real chutes configs to make them work properly with KCT/recovery. Maybe not so much the part failure aspect, though. I'll dig through my old files. Edited January 18, 2019 by Beetlecat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tybot Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I had tried the experimental version but ran into the bug where reselecting the VAB queue shows an empty window. Tried to revert to the stable version but I'm still getting the same bug. Has anyone else run into this, and is there a solution to at least get it back to where it was?

Been playing a lot with Oh Scrap/ScrapYard/KCT the last couple of weeks and support for RealChute would be awesome as the chutes really stack up. Keep up the good work!
