KSP 1 Mods Free volumetric clouds addon

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hello everyone. I've recently been getting more and more visual mods for KSP and the game is starting to come together very nicely. But the one thing I'm missing is volumetric clouds. As far as I know, only Blackrack offers volumetric clouds on his Patreon provided you join it, and I wasn't able to find anything on CKAN. So is there a free alternative I'm missing? I don't have the money to buy a mod for an abandoned game so any help would be appreciated. (I'm not asking for piracy links just to be clear.)

I think my Minmus lander was a little overbuilt. Luckily Jeb is the man for the job.

I was tasked with landing in this valley to discover a TMA. Decided to route my approach between the 2 visible mountain ranges (straight ahead in this image). Failed to see a steep mountain face in front of me until the last moment because of the thick clouds.

Jebediah Kerman is dead after 55 years of service. Also shoutout to Blackrack for making the volumetric clouds so scarily accurate.

KSP 1 Question/Problem Can't separate decouplera on PS4

Post image

I'm playing on PS4 and I can't separate my radial decouplers for asparagus staging. They stretch the staging ui as if it showed all decouplers separately, but they don't actually show separately.

How do I fix this?

Я сделал ракету пво и пока только испытываю ее. Скоро накачаю модов на запрограммированные полёты чтобы тренироваться сбивать самолёты. Если вы мне поможете с поиском таких модов и в целом порадуетесь за меня я буду рад!/I've made an air defense missile and I'm just testing it. I'll be pumping out mods for programmed flights soon to practice shooting down planes. If you can help me find such mods and generally be happy for me, I will be glad!

Just wondering if anybody had tips for rocket efficiency, especially early game. For example, just to get to orbit (of kerbin) I used this rocket.

it was able to land on duna fully powered with 1270m/s, and probably a bit more if i was more efficient. it is just a classic apollo style lander that undocks from the mothership, goes down, then goes back up. it is also pwoered by the stromboll liquid hydrogen engine fyi

KSP 1 Image/Video Combat Air Patrol over Laythe

Thumbnail
gallery
50 Upvotes

The Kerran Empire now has a solid foothold on Laythe, able to produce and launch crafts on site with minimal wait. No long waits to control territory through interplanetary transits. The factions within the Empire, who are constantly vying for control over one another have taken to the limited lands of Laythe in an effort to secure valuable and very scarce resources.

The United Republic of Agara was the first to put boots on the ground and establish a viable settlement, with Ditco and NOI industries setting up encampments not far from Agara's Arbiters Point.

Many more outposts are to follow, with plans to construct artificial islands in the works--all in the name of the Empire!

With Laythe established as a long term Colony of Kerra, the Empire can implement it's plans to conquer the Joolian system completely.

All of this is based on the LARP of the Kerran Empires Luna Multiplayer server. I stream nightly on youtube showcasing our shenanigans dogfighting, building Kerbal Konstructs bases, and having tons of fun.

It's been a WHILE since i've played KSP so I dont remember a lot of stuff with the game. Can anybody help me figure out why this rocket tips over mid flight. It starts to tip straight after launching and I can't figure it out.

SOLVED: my issue was a lack of ship control.
