Come on, I can't be the only one with a download speed that dashes any hope of playing it today?

Nope. i'm getting problems too. It's downloading at 13 kb/s.

[Rithsom]

Yes, also here's a picture of the Astronaut Complex Toilet.

Haha! Such a typical thing you would see in cartoons!

[natas]

all the parts seem to be duplicated in the vab

[ArmchairGravy]

Again, I just can't get over how useful strategies are. Got the mid-tier science stuff unlocked quickly by trading money for science and then switched over to trading rep for money to find the larger projects. The grind is gone! \o/

It just finished downloading thanks to an internet speedup! It's an update miracle!

You should also try downloading some more ram to make the game run faster:

screenshots of the new airport...

It's exactly the same as it has ever been...

That toilet seems a little large for a kerbal...

Direct-from-Squad version was just flat out not making any progress for me. Every time I looked back at it, the download was taking longer and longer, so I finally cancelled it.

multiplay.co.uk obviously has some third rate network goin' on.

I deleted my existing steam install, and downloaded a fresh copy there, which I'll play until the proper version isn't downloading at 800 bytes/sec. Given the difference in download speeds, and assuming that they have the same load, Steam's network is something like two thousand times the capacity of multiplay's...as a lower bound.

THEY LISTENED! In the Tracking Station Flags are disabled by default, just like Debris!

Wow, you're right, they're also off by default in the flight map! Sweet!

Also I think the CoM understands that massless parts have no mass finally. Yes!

Well, given that they don't have biological processes, it can't be a toilet. Must be some sort of stress testing device for prospective kerbonauts.

[fluidlogic]

Most of my 500+ hours of gameplay were heavily mod-involved... and now it looks like my entire project just ended up in the trash can. I'm NOT pleased at this.

I really hope I'm wrong.

[Xenro66]

Just waiting on FAR to catch up to this update. I still don't like stock aerodynamics, with or without new spaceplane parts xD

[Liowen]

Just changed some settings and now I am stuck in window mode even though I have the disable fullscreen button unchecked. Grumble gurmble........

[Dooz]

I can say this, I crashed a SRB into the SPH and crashed The game.

[Boomerang]

Anyone else getting a camera bug when trying to switch to an IVA view when you've got kerbals in the Mk. 2 crew cabin? Camera view seems to switch into the center of mass and gets stuck there?

[The Jedi Master]

On second thought, with all the bugs, it might be best to wait for the hotfix. How did this all get past the testers? They didn't rush it, right?

[RocketPilot573]

It appears to happen whenever you use the patcher.. Also, my settings file don't work... (It keeps overriding any changes I make to it!!!!)

[Alshain]

Did steering get some kind of speed tweak? Cause yeah, my plane just whipped around like a mongoose chasing a rattlesnake. It's actually making it tough to taxi.

It may look like a toilet, but that's actually part of the astronaut hazing ritual called the coffee strainer exercise. The details of this exercise are best left to the imagination, as the details are far more embarrassing than anything you can think up.

[SuperWeegee4000]

I was having a problem with textures being all blurry as well, but restarting the game seemed to fix it.

For me, uninstalling Kerbpaint fixed it.

[Commissioner Tadpole]

The new update made my game run really smooth for some reason. Phew, now I don't need to buy a new computer anymore!

On the other hand, I hate how they made the basic SAS really tiny. It just makes career even worse, because proper SAS modules are just further away, which means more time having to put up with the near-inexistent steering torque of the capsules.. Shame on you, Squad.

[Whirligig Girl]

I'm a bit disappointed with Crew transfer. You should be able to transfer crew to full module, with a crew member from the other modules taking their place. A swapping-type thing. No I suppose the answer to this is to always have a spare crew-capable part for one Kerbal to sit back in while other Kerbals move freely, then the last Kerbal is moved from the Spare pod.

The Reaction wheels are already extremely OP!

[dryer_lint]

I just started a new career mode. My second orbital rocket worked like a charm... until it exploded on the ground, destroying all the science. Luckily, I had quicksaved right before impact! ... but the parachutes were gone when I reloaded it. Aaaaand I was hurtling into a mountain. So now Jeb is dead, and my science is gone.

Yippee.

[TeeGee]

Downloaded it, waste of an update.

We are playing with parts that have been out for a VERY long time (spaceplaneone).

Strategies is a new feature I won't ever be using.

Explosions look more cartooney but I like them!

Grass looks meh.

Basically this update doesn't add anything worthwhile in my opinion. Wasteful update and I hope this is the last time I have to say that. If 0.26 does something similar, I'm going to be very vocal about it.
