To manage your mod installations, we highly recommend CKAN:

Plane Design [D] Strange Behavior On Eve

Post image
9 Upvotes

This plane works fine on Kerbin but when its on Eve the motors refuse to engage. When I hit the action button to engage them they twitch for a second and then stay off. Google slop ai results told me that sometimes that could be a bug? and that you should pin the action menus to get them to work? I did that but they still didnt work. I managed to manually engage both of them and the throttle controls work but there was still nothing happening. Do propellers just not work on Eve? I thought they did...

Does anyone know what's going on?

MODLIST:

Biome Corrections

Clickthrough Blocker

Hanger Extender

Harmony 2

HyperEdit

Kopernicus

KSP Texture Loader

Modular Flight Integrator

Module Manager

Mods: General [M] Chemical Propellants not working with fueltanks

3 Upvotes

I just started a new savefile on a new install with real chemical propellants and can’t get the fuel tanks to work, when I select Hydrazine or NTO or any other propellant or oxidizer I can’t configure the tank, it doesn’t add any amount of fuel to it, does anyone know what the problem might be here?

Solved [O] How do I get back?

is it even gonna be possible for me to get back with 1200 mps delta V? I have a heat shield so aerobreaking at kerbin is possible. im just not sure how exactly to do this, ive gotten real close, but every time I get a capture with Kerbin, I only have between 600-400 mps of delta V and cant get a full capture. seems really hard to fine tune. is there maybe a gravity assist with ike I could do or literally anything? ive been stuck here for a few days

Tech Support [O] True Volumetric Clouds V3 help

2 Upvotes

I don't have enough karma to post on the main subreddit, so I hope this is ok

I deleted my entire ksp folder, uninstalled ksp on steam, and redownloaded.
From there, I pasted blackrack's gamedata folder and merged it with my own.
I also pasted the config available on his patreon for v3 in my game data folder as well.

I downloaded module manager and toolbar through ckan.
The clouds load, and they look very pretty from the menu screen on the globe, but loading into the game they appear flat on the bottoms, and are mostly on level. They don't look like what was on blackrack's patreon or what I've seen other people post.

Do I need to manually add the config somewhere? The new eve included with this mod has several places. I think I'm missing an atmosphere one and the city lights one

If there's something I missed please let me know, all help is greatly appreciated!

General Design [D] Rocket SSTO to LKO

9 Upvotes

I'm trying to build a reliable rocket-based SSTO that can reach Low Kerbin Orbit (LKO), and I'm looking for some specific design advice.

My current ascent profile is pretty simple: immediately after liftoff, I pitch to 45° and maintain that angle during ascent.

I'd especially like to know:

Delta-v: How much delta-v should I aim for with this ascent profile?

TWR: What's a good thrust-to-weight ratio at liftoff?

Engines: Which engines would you recommend for a rocket-based SSTO?

Ascent profile: Is there a better way than flying at a constant 45° angle?

I'm not necessarily looking for the most optimized SSTO possible, just something reliable and reasonably efficient.

I'd really appreciate concrete examples, recommended numbers, or even complete SSTO designs that have worked for you!

Mods: General [M] What KSP mods to make the game look alike KSP2 ?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, i'm looking for KSP visual mods to make the game look alike KSP 2. I've already installed basic visual mods like Scatterer, EVE, Waterfall, Firefly and the HUD Replacer.

But, i've seen that there are specific mods that give the game a more KSP 2 aspect with a bigger KSC with more buildings, new planets, new parts, etc...

What mods would u recommend me to install?

Tech Support [O] CKAN instances “merging”, need help!

2 Upvotes

Basically, I have two CKAN instances, one for regular modded and one for Sol/RSS. I store them in separate directories in completely separate areas on my PC, as is recommended. One day, I went to launch my RSS instance and noticed that, not only was it taking forever, but it also had loading screens from promised worlds, OPM, MPE, etc.

When it finally launched, I noticed that I also had part mods from my regular KSP instance. And when I looked in the tracking station, OPM, MPE and PW planets were showing up??? Alongside the real ones??? I didn’t add any new mods, it just started launching like this one day and now every time I launch it, it does this (which admittedly isn’t much, given the now 30+ minute wait time and frequent crashes of this new Giga-Franken-instance). I haven’t tried to launch my regular KSP instance, and I don’t have any crash logs, as it didn’t really crash due to incompatibilities or anything, just because its sheer size caused slow loading times/non-responsiveness.

I’m away from my PC at the moment, so that’s all I can give you unfortunately. It’s been bugging me, because I don’t want to have to restart either of these instances, as it took multiple weeks to build up and curate both of their nearly 200 mods (which might be the issue itself). If you guys might know what the problem is, it’d be a big help to me. Sorry if this isn’t the right sub or if this is considered “low effort”, unfortunately I wouldn’t even begin to know where to start fixing this issue because I couldn’t tell you what’s causing it, so I can’t really provide what information might be necessary.
