Typically an install issue. Follow the instructions in the readme.txt. 7 hours ago, Sharpy said: I have a problem with RasterProp in MK4. It works with stock craft, but in the Vulture cockpit I'm only getting the static screens. (haven't checked the other cockpit yet.) Also, the ceiling is missing when IVA'ing from 2 side seats. (this person seems to have the same problem.) The RPM support is old and should be deprecated. Maintaining it is a bunch of work that I don't want to do. I eagerly accept contributions for fixing it. No idea why bits of the IVA are missing form some angles. Very frustrating to me, some people also see this, but I don't in my game! I will look into it post 1.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpy Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Bug report: ARV-50-2 Heavy Symmetric RCS Blister (mk4rcsblister-2) doesn't show up in Career/Science. The reason is TechRequired = Specialized Control instead of TechRequired = specializedControl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExplodingWaffle101 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 You might've accidentally included the mk4 cargo lift part in the mod: It isn't textured or sized right, and it has no description. When its implemented, I think it could be a REALLY cool part though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nertea Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Mark IV Update Info: After a considerable bunch of cfg work, I think I've finished updating this to 1.2. The remaining obstacles are the IVAs. Because of poor IVA design, the IVAs don't actually fit inside the real part (Tardis-esque). That's the root of the problem. I'll spend some time investigating this to see if I can fix/minimize the issues. Maybe late next week or next weekend for an actual update.

Falcon Coupe Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 In the work you have done to update the mod, have you already fixed the reverse thrust from the turboprops not working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuChris Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 cant wait for the 1.2 version of this, atm the 1.1.3 version has some texture bugs, so i cant use it xD (and it seems it affects some b-9 parts with the same problem :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vrana Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Honestly i wouldn't worry too much about IVAs. A good IVA is a very nice thing but it is also the least important part of a part. What i am try to say is... If IVAs are a lot of work just release without them. Updating IVAs later, at a slower pace, doesn't break any craft anyway. My opinion at least.

gilflo Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hello I got the last version of Mark IV system 2.2.1 and in KSP 1.1.3, I cannot connect any cargo bay or fuselage to the Vulture cockpit. I need to use a cubic octogonal strut to join both parts, then adjust it so that it's well aligned....Is there a trick, because it works perfectly with the standard cockpit?

They're a lot of work, but honestly they're mostly done, they just suffered from a lot of issues related to the stuff introduced in 1.1. I have to fix this because it's awful. Luckily, I've fixed this for the Thunderhawk cockpit, and am some fraction of done for the Vulture.

Does the Vulture cockpit have a built-in docking port and animation, and did you have TweakableEverything? If so, it may be caught in a "misbehavior" (not a bug per se, since it's doing exactly as it's told to do) by TweakableDockingNode. The intent is to prevent stuff from being attachable to docking ports with deployable covers (e.g. the shielded docking port with the shield closed), but in practice it also caught docking ports with lights and other non-cover animations. You can either activate whatever animations it has to fool TweakableEverything into thinking that the part is uncovered, or there's a patch I dropped in the TweakableEverything thread to remove its attachment-preventing behavior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updating IVAs later, at a slower pace, doesn't break any craft anyway. My opinion at least. IVAs can use a lot of RAM. I recall, a few KDP versions ago,a set of Station parts that had hugely detailed IVAs. I ended up removing most of the IVA data, because I hardly ever wanted to look at the interiors. It makes some sense for a cockpit, with a Kerbal looking out at the world as she controls a craft. It didn't seem to make much sense for a view of four of five Kerbals just sitting there, with incredibly detailed labels one every storage drawer. The latest version of KSP is a bit easier on the RAM, but that doesn't excuse an extravagant IVA with no choice for the Mod user. If somebody is using Module Manager anyway, it seems quite practical to have a basic light-weight IVA, with an optional component with the IVA-specific models and textures, and the necessary Module Manager patch file. Is it worth the effort? That's not my choice. Worst case, as long as you keep file locations clearly defined, I can do my own edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donziboy2 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Nice update Just wondering what I should use to get the 1K EC per large Electric fan.... Also am I loosing my mind or is this not mirrored? http://imgur.com/M3s46g2 Edited October 21, 2016 by Donziboy2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SciMan Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) I'm willing to bet that the odd behavior you're seeing in that screenshot is due to the not-perfect way that KSP handles mirroring of non-symmetrical parts. IMO the easy solution for that is getting Editor Extensions Redux and just tweaking the parts into alignment manually. It's a little more work, but with EER you can actually get the same level of accuracy and precision that stock mirroring provides. As for getting 1k EC (I'll assume per second) per fan, the only thing that I know of that packs that kind of power is a nuclear reactor from Near Future Electrical or KSPI-E. Personally I use KSPI-E reactors. The major reason I use KSPI-E is because it has warp drives, and I hate sitting in time warp waiting for Hohmann transfers. This basically means I get the reactors "for free" with the warp drives. Edited October 22, 2016 by SciMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big a spaceplane are you looking for? I have my 2000 ton monstrosity that can easily lift 200t into orbit. However, I use the procedural wings mod. I find that that mod works well with the mark iv system . If your planes are having trouble getting off the ground then make sure the center of lift is behind the center of mass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
