The black tanks on the outside. think they are 80 bar but might be higher. That is the pressurization system who currently keeps tanks at 6 bar and feed the cold gas trusters and will feed the gas-gas engines. The gas-gas engines will be a bit like the raptors starters who also is gas-gas. Probably use multiple spark plugs to ensure smooth starts. Guess they use an gas generator and perhaps electrical pumps to create pressurized gas in case they run low on it say during docking and then they need to pressurize the large tanks, that one however don't need high pressure.

That's what I was afraid of. If you say everything should be ok on your side, then it must be a side-effect from Realism Overhaul. I don't know yet how the differents mods interact, but it seems the RO mod prevent some of your parts to be scalable. I'm going to search. Thanks

Camera tools not working why?

If you’re referring to this: Then it isn’t explicitly marked as compatible with KSP 1.10(.x) so that might be the problem. Are you getting any errors in the logs, and have you downloaded all the dependencies?

What is something you have always wanted to do in KSP but have as of yet to do?

Ever since I first installed the game in 2014, I've wanted to do a Duna mission in science or career mode. I always restarted before doing it, but this install seems to be keeping my attention a lot longer. I've already done a landing on Asclepius (a modded planet between Kerbin and Duna's orbits), and flybys of Eve and Duna. All I have left to do is refuel the interplanetary vessel and attach a lander, but that will still be a week or two of work.

Getting NullReferenceException at CometVFXController.LateUpdate

Having a problem with my career game.

@The Doodling Astronaut@EveMaster Here's a good video explaining KSP buoyancy Also the leaderboard for round 4 seems to not be updated - my score is listed as 1400 still

What did you do in KSP today?

The main reason I don't want to do it that way is it would take a long time to glide the plane down to the surface. I'd much rather smash through the upper atmosphere like a battering ram and not deploy the plane until it's deep enough to actually fly. And anyway I though of an even cooler way to deploy it. The fairing with parachute down into the Eve troposphere, at around 10 m/s. Then at around 13000 m I'll blow the fairing, leaving the plane hanging nose down from the fairing base. Then I'll unfold the wings and engines, decouple from the fairing base, and fly down like a bat.

TLA_DEBUG_STACK_LEAK

Wild guess, but with some heavy textures loaded, the GPU ends up delivering less frames per second - mainly on our case, where the "VRAM" is shared from the CPU main RAM. So the CPU would have more time to act, avoiding triggering the TLA. About the OneDrive links, they are working now (all of them). I'm downloading them and I will give them a look.

[1.9.1] Kopernicus Continued

I'll stay on the version 5 for a while, I have no plans to mine asteroids in the near future. In GPP , Gael is the fourth planet in the system. Niven is the third. Maybe asteroids are spawning near Niven? Dunno.... I get a lot of log spam saying "[kopernikus] no new objects this time. probability is x%". I'm goona guess that objects are spawning somwhere and the list is full, they just not spawning near enough so that I can detect them. Should I go bug the guys (guy, actually) maintaining GPP to update their config files ?

At least, I haven't been able to do either of those without upgrading to level 2...but that might be my shoddy building.

Kerbal Space Program 2 to be released in Fall 2021

Yada yada, KSP 1's development was more interesting than most games because, like Minecraft, we stayed so we could watch and play the developing game, and not because corporations were trying to overhype us by drip feeding occasional dev diaries. The last thing I expect the KSP 1 fandom to do is break down in tears because the beta game is in beta.

I have seen patches that assume that "useKopernicusSolarPanels = false" has to be in the root of PART, other patches assume it has to be in the MODULE[ModuleDeployableSolarPanel]. In some cases only the first of multiple MODULE[ModuleDeployableSolarPanel] has been patched. And last but not least this weirdness triggered some B9PartSwitch errors on other parts because the internal mesh switching thing for upgradeable solar panels was borked because of the beforementioned behavior. So, when there are two ways of attempting this, either put it into PART or put it into MODULE[ModuleDeployableSolarPanel], then both cases should be taken into account for failsafeness.

The mounting slot for the engine is there but the 7.5m central slot blocks the smaller one. There's a workaround to mount it in the central 7.5m slot as seen here and move it with the move tool. I'm not sure if this can be fixed at all, it might be KSP's fault altogether.

KSP Transfer Illustrator

I've put together a slapdash (even more so than usual) prototype for an orbit propagator app. It's separate from the transfer-calculating app for now, and might stay that way to prevent things from getting too cluttered. https://ksp-trajectory-illustrator.herokuapp.com/ You can enter a custom starting orbit, and then a series of maneuver nodes (each with prograde, normal, and radial burn components, as well as a universal time). The app will propagate the orbit across SoI changes, apply maneuvers at the specified times, and display the orbits in each SoI. There's a sample maneuver node already set up when the app is loaded. I haven't really done any accuracy testing for it yet, and I still need to add in things like the download buttons and sliders that are in the other app, but it should be functional at least. It's rather "dumb," since it won't tell you anything you couldn't figure out by placing maneuver nodes in-game, but my hope is that it could eventually be used for generating plots for use in tutorials or for sharing cool mission plans. It would be interesting to see how it works with a crazy multi-gravity-assist type mission. Feel free to offer any suggestions!

Life on Venus?

Hmm. I just learned about the Martian labeled release experiment done in the 70s by the Viking landers. They took soil samples and injected nutrients tagged with Carbon-14, then monitored for evolved gas which could result from metabolism. This produced positive results with multiple samples from both landers. Control tests were done to eliminate the effect of UV-chemistry and samples were heated at different temperatures to help distinguish biology from chemistry. Results were dismissed due to the lack of detection of organic compounds (at the time) and the lack of water, along with the result of chemical experiments carried out involving gamma ray interactions with perchlorate which could partially explain the results. This seems like it was possibly stronger evidence of life than phosphine on Venus. I wonder how the phosphine discovery will turn out.

Airplane Design Q&A

You are correct about maintenance being a big issue. But another big issue is that the airflow on the top of the wing is much more critical than the airflow on the bottom of the wing. Air on the top of the wing is moving faster and has an adverse pressure gradient (it wants to separate away from the wing). Air on the bottom of the wing moves slower and has a favorable pressure gradient. That's why missiles, engines, flap fairings, etc. etc. are located on the bottom of the wing. Those two jets you mentioned didn't have room under their wing for engines. (That's a big reason why bizjets rarely have wing-mounted engines. They want short gear so the door can double as a staircase.)

[1.10.x] Near Future Technologies (All 1.10, NFA returns)

I'm almost positive that RP-1 isn't more expensive than Hydrolox; not only are the production processes for Hydrogen much less efficient and uncommon. But while RP-1 doesn't require too much special storage (If i recall the tankage must be a certain standard to prevent contamination, but that's with most everything for a rocket). The infrastructure to support Hydrolox requires much more setup, and operation is subject to a constant energy cost. But in all honesty; depending on CKAN isn't a good idea in general. There's a slew of issues it brings, and while i can understand using it to get your feet wet with KSP modding i feel like you're well past that point. That's besides the point though; especially since the Author himself said he'd get back to you in time. In the meantime however; most of your desired changes could easily be accomplished with some custom Module Manager patches if you wanted to dabble with that. The modding subfourm would be more than happy to help instruct you on how to make them, it wouldn't be too hard to reduce the cost of LOX/HydroLOX for instance. And you could easily add back in engines/tweak their cost (Though if they were hard-deprecated you'd need to grab their models from the last version that had them). Then you could use a mod like Janitor's closet to remove anything you thought "Redundant", and as a bonus save a bit of RAM while doing so!

[1.8-1.10] Extraplanetary Launchpads v6.8.2

I've been there. It gets annoying, actually, when you have to do the roundabout work of going to the VAB, remembering the parts you want, building the dummy craft, and returning to the site to build it. OSE builds the part and stuffs it into the factory's own KIS space. Also, if you wanted to produce a KIS box full of little things, OSE saves you from having to remember (days later) what you stuffed into the KIS box on the last dummy craft. Instead of that, you build a new KIS box and stuff parts into it from the factory's inventory all without having to go to the VAB. The matter isn't always about what parts you missed when you build a big ship or base section with many parts, but is also about when you're building a small craft or expanding a large one, piece by piece or section by section with plenty KAS involvement. For that kind of thing, switching scenes for every few steps can be too much. That's what OSE's advantage really looks like.

And waht is the [OrbitDriver] come from (Mod) or do in the game?

First Flight (Epilogue and Last Thoughts)

Thanks for picking that up, I hadn't noticed. I've been meaning to go through and fix some other typos in the full version, so I might actually get around to doing it now . Indeed I did, you've basically got a whole section dedicated to your dictionary (hope between KSK and me we managed to do it justice).

[1.9] Kethane Plugin and Parts 0.10.3 - Now with background scanning.

Any update on the missing Hex grid ? Could it be that some mod is interfering with Kethane or do I have to download something so that the grid is working. I made an imgur account to upload my picture i took with the missing grid. I hope you can help me because I love this mod. Picture Post: https://imgur.com/a/sDGkvOZ

How do I stop my rockets from flipping?

@Neil Kermstrong First... To help stop it flipping. Make sure your Center of Mass is near the top (pointy end) and your Centre of Drag is nearer the bottom (hot end). You can also add fins at the bottom to help too. Basically copy a dart, heavy bit at the front, fins at the back. Even without fins the dart will still fly point first, your rocket is the same, fins will give it a bit more stability, but you won't always need them, and they add drag too. Second... To help with wobbly rockets. If you haven't done it already, switch on 'Advanced Tweakables' in the main menu game settings, this gives numerous extra features. For this particular problem though, when building right click a part to open the option window, options for 'Rigid Attachment' and 'Auto Strut' will be available (iirc they may also be available in flight). Experiment with those, I use them all the time. Hope that helps.

Orbit lines glitches and flickering

Hmm, I’ve seen that type of flickering before but only when using modified solar systems with either lots of planets far from the sun, or additional solar systems which are even further away. I never found a solution for it though; try updating your graphics drivers?

[1.9.1 - 1.10.x] Beyond Home 1.5.0 (Supports Parallax)

That's odd. It looks like everything loads correctly, it even tells me it found and loaded the shader bundle properly as well as applying all of the configs... I'm truly stumped. This must be related to Linux (Unfortunately, I don't have a linux machine to be able to test it myself)...

[1.9.*, 1.10.*] DockRotate - lightweight robotics - rotational control on docking ports (plus NodeRotate, make any part rotate)

I cannot get it to work, instead only the options to determine the rotation step and rotation speed show up, but no option to actually rotate the dock shows up. https://imgur.com/a/ZpaAwpl

I thought this control scheme was unique to SpaceX... Looks like there are others using it as well https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-43/B_MOAB#/media/File%3AMOABAFAM.JPG https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-43/B_MOAB#/media/File%3AMOABAFAM.JPG

What did you do in KSP today?

Building refineries is hard,man... I am on my fourth time building one with Mega-Miner and I still misjudged the power requirements, and have only barely enough cooling. It might be time to "invent" nuclear power, because 6 gigantor panels, 8 big fuel cell arrays, and a whole stack of z4000 batteries still isn't enough to run it flat out without a bunch of micromanaging.

Airplane Design Q&A

It is realistic if they will build it commercially. Probably almost anything can work technically but if they do not give significant benefits, they fail commercially and be never used. I think piloting is not a problem nowadays. It will have computer assisted fly by wire system in any case. Computers can fly unstable planes which are impossible for human pilots. If it can be developed and produced at reasonable costs, save significant amount of energy (or be otherwise environmentally friendly)and be safe to travel it will probably come in production. It may take couple of decades because aviation officials are so extremely conservative but at the end money talks. But I will say it realistic after all this have realized.

[1.10.x/1.9.x/1.8.x/] Modular Launch Pads v2.0.8: Launch clamps evolved: Mix-and-match parts for complete launch infrastructure [15 Feb 2020]

It isn't for me. They are a bit bigger than the ones I see on YouTube even though they are the same version

Done.

Yes, i tried the option in the comm pod and from the top UI, but it is not working i believe it only works if your ship got landing legs or gears

[1.10.1+] Contract Configurator [v1.30.4] [2020-09-21]

Hey @nightingale, I found some more time for testing, interesting result: when I replace CC with the older 1.29.0 version, the bug is gone! As soon as I use any 1.30.x version, the bug appears. Hope this helps to narrow down finding what's going on here. Question: will it be save to continue using 1.29.0 for the time being, or will it ruin my career save game due to incompatibilities?

[1.7.3-1.10.1] Bluedog Design Bureau - Stockalike Saturn, Apollo, and more! (v1.6.3 "титан" HOTFIX 2/Aug/2020)

Is there any way anyone can think of to be able to fit the IUS into the fairing of the Titan 34D? As shown here:

[KSP 1.8.1+] Galileo's Planet Pack [v1.6.4] [01 July 2020]

They are both pretty different experiences, but I think both can be enjoyable depending on the gameplay experience you want. If you want to see Kerbalism in action, I've been watching Mike Aben's Expedition Eve series on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MikeAben. However, GPP support for Kerbalism is coming in the next update, but if you are familiar with Github, the configs are there to grab to add to your installation.

Savefile Incompatible?

It might be that he doesn't have Making History and Breaking Ground. If that is the case, can someone tell me how to safely uninstall it.

[ANY][0.1]Stockalike Hypergols

KSP Stockalike Hypergols A stockalike Kerbal Space Program mod to add another fuel mixture to the game for (very) partial realism. This is HEAVILY in Dev, more mod support will come soon! Until I accumulate enough support, this will remain in beta. QIIWBFAQBNHSTY: Q: Why are these all AZ50/NTO? A: Simplicity. We don't need to go all RealFuels, this is STOCKALIKE hypergols. Q: It's not right! [x] doesn't burn AZ50/NTO! A: Shoo. Back to RO with you. Q: Does this need RealFuels? A: Nope. Q: Why doesn't this affect monoprop engines? A: I'm assuming those are meant to just be hydrazine engines. Q: How do I request compatibility for stuff? A: Raise an issue on Github, ping me @Clamp-o-Tron, or make a pull request on the repo if you've done it yourself! There's a guide in the package if you want to do that and don't know how. Q: You messed up a .cfg, made a typo, made an engine hypergolic when it shouldn't be, etc. A: Oops! I am a very fallible human. Contact me with the info in the same way as above. Q: Is this compatible with KSP version x.x.x? A: It won't work with KSP2 (yet), but any KSP1 version with a working Module Manager and B9 Part Switch should be just fine! Q: What in the heck does QIIWBFAQBNHSTY mean? A: Questions I Imagine Would Be Frequently Asked Questions But Nobody Has Said These Yet. Q: How do I download? A: We're still in beta, so you'll have to grab a prerelease from GitHub instead of Spacedock. Dependencies: B9PartSwitch ModuleManager CommunityResourcePack Supports (As of 0.1): Bluedog Design Bureau Shuttle Orbiter Construction Kit + reDIRECT Stock ReStock+ Making History Yeah, it isn't very much, but more will come!

HumanStuff - Add-on Development Thread

Update: I learned how to create "object classes" for unity, like 1st time ever making a DLL, I thought it would be freaky...it wasnt anymore than any "1st kick at the can" WE CAN MAKE ALMOST ANYTHING NOW...with time Basically you use an IDE, or Integrated Development Environment (sounds freaky, its not... just an app: mono or visual studio I suggest, OS depending) to talk to .netframework (3.5 for older ksp, 4 for newer)and then parts of unity engine's dll's and a copy of windows "systemcore" dll (I suggest you dl one as a zip from a trusted site, dont use your own from your OS) to make a "plugin" dll for ksp. I used the code from RP-0 repo "LoadingScreenChanger", chopped up and edited obviously, to work in unison with "Loading Screen Manager" to allow the loading of custom images during game load, allowing dds files instead of just png/jpg This should save you all 10mb of so of ram during game load, GIVE US CUSTOM LOADING IMAGES and Secondary game load "LOGO splash-screen", of course after squad & copy right info is displayed (EULA safe) make higher quality images and load them faster. Right now I have borrowed the RP-1 loading images, made a custom loading screen and added the moon landing and falcon heavy launches from NASA website.

Unable to open save in 1.10: "Input string was not in a correct format."

I tried moving my savefile from 1.8 to 1.10, with an identical set of mods, but the save is corrupted in 1.10 and won't open. It will open normally in 1.8 without issue. Underneath the save name it says in orange "Input string was not in a correct format." I believe the relevant part of the log file is: [ERR 15:24:53.565] [LoadGameDialogs] Error loading save Eli's Space Program 2 - Input string was not in a correct format.
