If you are swapping the 64bit exe in Steam you need to take the KSP_64_Data folder and rename it to KSP_Data for the exe to find the correct mono fileset.

Iceshade posted:I thought I would actually need this, but I'm swimming in cash. I just went to the Mun with a 130k craft by sticking engines and fuel tanks on it that were totally overkill. Yeah I installed it not looking at my KerbKoins... I have 1.7 million Funds in the bank after 4 hours played. I have yet to go to Minmus or Duna. I think balance is a little off, but its the first iteration so I am still happy with it so far.

Arsonide posted:Question for reference: are you reverting/loading saves? I think the budget is much more effective in iron man mode. The only quicksave/load I have done was when time warp glitched out and put my mun lander inside the Mun. (I was in a 12km x 24km orbit...) Only reverting flights if I forget to assign the correct crew, like removing one guy for rescue missions.

haveblue posted:64 bit on Macs is not supported yet, they only just barely got it working on Windows as it is. The biggest bug with 64bit KSP for windows is that it messes up a whole load of the physics calculations with parts. For example, decouplers have no force so fairings just stay put and fold in on your payload and in-line stage decouplers have no push at all. Unless you play without fairings and don't mind using loads of separation motors skip 64bit for now.

Platystemon posted:Career mode sure is slanted in favour of solid rockets. With NEAR I have been SSTO'ing small satellites with the SLS solid booster with a 55% throttle limit and four wings on the bottom. The thing flys its own gravity turn perfectly without SAS on and fine tuning of orbits is done by the satellite itself not an upper stage. "Why dont NASA just do this...  Oh wait Ares I...

I sent Jeb, Bill and Bob to man the Minmus Science Lab that is home to my materials science hoppers. No more orange suits for new gigs that way, and besides they are probably better off at Minmus, considering I am going to Eve to land and return next.

You only need fins up to about 25-30km up, after that they give little to no control on rockets I find so stick them as low as possible on the first stage only, if you are doing some crazy SSTO rocket put the fins on decouplers and throw them away after you get high for added efficiency! My "normal" (it varies per mission) flight profile for NEAR is straight up until you are moving 100-120m/s (perform your roll maneuver here to line up your pitch axis with the target heading/inclination) then pitch over 5 degrees and slowly continue to pitch over until you hit the horizon line. If you put more time than I am normally willing to do into balancing thrust and aerodynamics you can make a rocket that after the first 5 degrees pitch will do a gravity turn itself, just turn off SAS and it works on it's own perfectly, this is probably one of the best things about NEAR/FAR is nailing a gravity turn but it takes a bit of effort. Also ExtraContracts and StationScience are loving awesome, thanks for the addons guys!

PiCroft posted:Can anyone give a list of recommended mods, perhaps their own list of mods they personally use? I looked at the OP and the usual suspects are there but I'd have missed the Near Future and Station Science mods had I not browsed the Curse site. My current ModList: StillBetterThanSpyware - Just cause' DebRefund - Really this is not needed but a kickback for sticking parachutes on everything can be nice early career. EditorExtensions - One you go 20x symmetry for no reason you never go back EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements - Pretty skys and planets ExtraContracts - Goon mods are best mods KerbalJoinReinforcement - Stops floppy rocket syndrome (*ModStats Warning*) KWRocketry - More Rocket Parts, they look nicer than Squads and I like the engines. MechJeb2 - I use it for the information screens as the launch computer doesn't play well with NEAR. HotRockets - Pretty flames, if you have KWR installed you need to remove the KWR configs from this mod or stuff breaks. NEAR - Like FAR but less spergy. (*ModStats Warning*) SCANSat - Maps made by Sats! (*ModStats Warning*) StationScience - A reason to make space stations, also GoonMods Best Mods. TweakableEverything - Does as it says on the label. TweakScale - So does this one. FloorIt - Press Z to skip to 100% thrust! I think that's everything I use currently.

I tried to use PartCatalog ages ago, but I just found it more of a hassle to set up, it is likely better now but I get on just fine without it. If I used more parts packs like NovaPunch and B9 then I may consider getting it but for what I use its all fine.

I downloaded a bunch, and I think I have like 50 of them sitting in a folder while I sort through and try to figure out which ones I really want, or which ones I could live without. When the game crashes to desktop when you have Active Texture Management installed, thats when you have too many mods installed.

You can use things like the aerodynamic pylon near the engine to soak some heat up, its what I used to do when running large amounts of NERVAs to keep them from melting.

Ive been making IRL rockets lately for a project I want to start soon, here are my ULA launchers the Atlas V 401 and the Delta IV-M+(4,2). Got them setup for their latest missions here, Atlas V with a US GPS satellite (launched last night) and the Delta IV with the GSSAP 1 and 2 with the ANGELS tech demo satellite riding under those. In real life ANGELS was attached to a small sat payload ring called a ESPA ring but in KSP it would become rather unbalanced so I decided to just stack them on top of each other. And yes the SRBs on the Delta are not correctly scaled for the rocket, I am going to write my own config for the Globe VI SRB from KW to replace that at some point. I am using TweakEverything, TweakScale, Procedural Fairings and KW Rocketry for these mostly. The launch clamps are from FASA, the radar thing on the GPS satellite is from SCANSat and the folding dish antenna is from the Tantares capsule pack I believe.

Funds are not all that limiting, in my main career save I have, with little to no problem amassed over 7million Funds and I have yet to launch anything beyond robotics to orbit Duna, not even landed yet as I'm have way too much fun on and around Kerbin with Station Science and Extra Contracts/Fine Print.

That debug line has been there since pre-0.18 I think. First time I saw it was in 0.18. Does anyone else use "Kerbal ISP Difficulty Scaler", by Ferram, to make KSP engines work more like real life engines? I have been playing around with it and while it does the job of keeping fuel flow the same and increasing thrust with ISP instead of fuel efficiency I cant quite nail the settings to a point were it's feels real but real for the Kerbal world.

Arsonide I have a request, can you add a few contracts that appear if you have SCANSat installed to put various mapping satellites into mostly polar orbits of planets/moons? I honestly have no clue how hard that would be but it would be awesome if that was possible.

The guy who made Enhanced Navball said on reddit he has not been contacted about it so it is not ENB. Ferram said Squad have no intrest in realistic aerodynamics and would not want to implement FAR/NEAR. Let's be honest, its SpacePlanePlus and we know it.
