[PLUGIN 0.15+] Frame Rate Command Pod v1.2: Ap/Pe/Encounter Readouts!

[Tosh]

[table][tr][td]

[/td]

[td]Well, this plugin (initially being a simple FPS-measuring debug tool) gradually develops into a piloting instrument, which greatly reduces the need in switching back and forth between vessel view and orbital map screen .

In v1.2, it displays the following readings:

• Frame rate,
  
• Current altitude above the terrain (or the reference ellipsoid, if no terrain data is currently available),
  
• Apoapsis and periapasis altitude, and time of arrival (for orbiting vessels only),
  
• Next encountered celestial body name, and time of arrival (if there's a SOI switch ahead),
  
• Distance and direction to nearest Rock Arch or Munolith (press <F7> to toggle).

Warning! No part is included! After installing addon (either extract fpsPod12/ directory's contents into KSP/ folder, or use Generic Mod Enabler), you'll need to open your favorite command pod's PART.CFG file with Notepad and change the module name:

module = fpsPod

All the vessels with this command pod will display its readouts in the upper right corner of the screen.

Plugin requires KSP Version 0.15 or higher!

Shouldn\'t this go under 'plugins for plugin developers'?

Well, it\'s a final release, it\'s ready to use, it may be helpful for testers team as well as for 3D modellers... well, I\'m not quite sure .

Let the mods decide.

[Emilio]

Excuse me. I though a FPS pod was something like the laser pods on the A-10C...

That is useful anyway, especially if you have a special 'part testing' install (basically it includes this + stock + Mechjeb/Cart + plugins and parts to test)

[kellven]

The altitude would have been useful to me a few days ago, had to write a utility part to do that.

I read the titel, and thought it was a First Person Shooter, or cotpit view plugin. boy was I off =P

Me too ! File per Second always confuse me

[Tosh]

Uploaded a new, Minmus-compatible version.

[sal_vager]

Very nice, this is fast becoming another 'will add to stock install despite not being stock' addition.

Also, regarding the special feature....

The munolith detector also finds rock arches.

[Tosh]

The munolith detector also finds rock arches.

Yes, I know))

It looks for a nearest animation object in the main celestial body.

But I\'m really curious why are those rock arches made as animations? What\'s to animate there ? o_O

[Emilio]

Rock arches ??? ? what rock arches ? Are theses on Minmus ??

[sal_vager]

I\'m guessing you\'ve been so busy with aircraft you haven\'t been back to the Mun recently

[Emilio]

Don\'t say it but... i\'m playing since 0.13 and i never got to the mun :-[...

Now I have a good reason to do !

[Tosh]

Don\'t say it but... i\'m playing since 0.13 and i never got to the mun :-[...

Woooooah. You\'re most likely the only person in forum never been at the Mun

[Emilio]

Woooooah. You\'re most likely the only person in forum never been at the Mun

I keep trying... Last time I touched it too fast and blew up =P

[Tosh]

I keep trying... Last time I touched it too fast and blew up =P

If I were you, I\'d not try.

I\'D HAVE IT WRITTEN IN MY SIG WITH 64PX LETTERS!!1111 ;P

Kiddin\'

[Kreuzung]

I\'ve never returnde from there in around 2 months I think, mainly because I want to land with MechJeb off...

[Anuanu]

Is it possible to have multiple command module names? Like I also use the comsat mod and for any part to be considered a comsat I have to have comsat in the module name.

[Kreuzung]

No, you can only have one of these. That\'s why they introduced the part module system almost nobody is using.

As far as i know the comsat plugin works with vessels that have 'comsat' in the *vessel name* - not in the part or module name.

[Kreuzung]

Well, you need either the comsat pod or the comms antenna to relay on the network.

Ah! Good catch, thank you!
