6pm here and I'm on vacation for the next three weeks.  Pity it'll take that long for all my mods to update. Hopefully v90 is API compatible.

revdrkevind posted:Been done before but counterpoints in my opinion: I really don't see how you can argue that the game needs to remain easy for new players, then unironically suggest implementing FAR. Honestly though, a delta-v display is such a pathetically obvious addition, one that has been requested at least since I started playing in .16, that I can't help but imagine there is some guy at CCP who actively hates the idea for ~reasons~ and shouts it down every time it gets brought up. There is no excuse for it not being present at this point other than sheer stupidity.

104,000 to upgrade the launch pad in hard mode! Looks like I have some contracts to do. e: implementing TWR and dV displays in-game, in a meaningful way, without just covering the screen with a spreadsheet, making the new player feel like they are walking into this may not be as trivial as some of you think. But I am not a game designer. Corky Romanovsky fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Dec 16, 2014 |

Well, I need to be up tomorow morning for work, so I'm choosing to interpret this as a guarantee that I will be awake at 7.30. That I may not have been to sleep in the intervening hours is of minimal importance.

Have the contracts been re-balanced in this release? I really liked the direction the career mode was going in the previous patch but the stupidly narrow windows for altitude and velocity made almost all of the parts testing contracts incredibly frustrating.

Windows for surveys were removed. Now there is a threshold altitude, and I just ask you to be above or below it (or on the ground). It's still technically a window, but it's a really big one. The high altitude ones can even be done in orbit, if you pass over the waypoint.

Which parts of Fine Print were integrated into stock? Is FinePrint being discontinued as a separate thing? I rather like the ISRU contracts and I can't imagine those have been integrated into the stock game.

I've never played with that before. I was referring to the 'Text part x in flight over Kerbin" type, which made up the majority of the contracts in the previous patch version. And yes I am aware that none of the contracts are mandatory, but in the career mode they are the main avenue for generating income so when a large chunk of them are frustrating and don't encourage you along an interesting progression in rocket design I think it's an issue.

I rather like the ISRU contracts and I can't imagine those have been integrated into the stock game. All of the parts...and more. ISRU contracts are still there, I thought removing them would be redundant, but as usual, they are disabled by default. You just have to crack open your configuration file to enable them.

Okay, what the hell am I doing wrong. Trying to launch a plane! Except every one I make immediately noses up hard once it's off the pad winds up completely uncontrollable. Everything's symmetrical, plenty of lift and control surfaces and all that, weight and thrust and lift all lined up... but it doesn't matter if the center of lift is ahead of the CoM, vice versa, big planes, small planes, whatever. And it's not a control calibration thing, I don't have (or have ever had) joysticks or anything like that hooked up and the flaps remain neutral unless I'm hitting something. I'm pretty sure it's not a new patch thing since I remember having this issue last patch too, but I recall craft like the ones I'm making working fine a while back... there's obviously something basic I'm missing.

No matter what I do I cannot get steam to download the update. Tried verifying the game cache, removing and reinstalling the game, restarting steam, and a few other things and each time it just downloads a zero-byte "update" but still launches .25.

Your CoL should be behind the CoM, not in front of it. But not too far behind it, if that makes any sense. edit: I made this SSTO earlier today, and while I'm not that great at planes it works pretty well. You'll note that the CoM is only slightly ahead of the CoL - it's actually not an ideal placement, since as the plane burns fuel the CoM moves further back, which can throw the balance completely out of whack. But it does work - the canards tend to help a lot.

And think, just yesterday I was assembling huge orbital stations, now I'm picking up scraps and trying to make a buck on the the side :cryingjeb: Seems like a great job so far from the Squad guys, this is legitimately difficult. Poor Jeb already bit the dust in a noble effort to preserve parts.

So wait, when a probe contract requires power, does that mean it needs a solar panel? 'Cause I don't have those unlocked. The requirements for "polar orbit within reasonable deviation" and "stable for 10 secs" are both checked off, but the contract won't complete. e: and yes, it does have power in the batteries, on the order of ~10 units. If that's the problem (not *enough* power), I'm hosed. I don't have the cash to upgrade the VAB, and the launch rocket is already 30 parts.
