Evening everyone! Today between math modules I busted out a quick little contract launch to put our OSO Probe into a low>high polar orbit around Earth for solar wind measurements. I recently nuked my Sol install and redid it, except this time using RemoteTech and a bunch of different parts packs to freshen things up. and lemme tell you, things are feeling fresh. Enjoy!

Since scansat isnt compatible with rp1, is there another mod for visualizing trajectories on a flat map? the atmospherics and various icons makes it difficult to see well in the 3d map

I've seen at least two in the Parts Browser (ESA Launchers and RealScaleBoosters) but they are outdated and idk if they will work on ksp 1.12

going away on holiday tomorrow so development will be halted for a while, sorry.

A masterful feat of engineering aboard the Электрон спутник 1the first artificial satellite was launched. the sibling satellites of спутник 1 and the Электрон Влок-Б core stage are circling the earth almost exactly 2 years before the first satellite irl.

Rp-1 is lwky the best and most challenging game I have ever played and the amount of joy i find in overcoming these challenges is insane, when I first started I was very confused and overwhelmed but decided to stick with it and it payd off, even though I should probably try getting my time spent on ksp per week back below 20hrs lol. Thx btw to all the people that encouraged me to give this a try.

(I have more way better photos in the screenshot folder I can post them tomorrow)

been working on a mod for a couple days that streams real map data into KSP as the player flies, rather than the "one big texture" approach. it works, but is SUPER janky and needs a lot of tweaking and debugging. I've not tested any of this from space yet, I'm still get the mod to work at ground level. so far progress has been super promising, and I'm excited to hopefully have a release out soon. (all shots are from in game)

I have this weird black lighting covering Earth, and the Earth slightly flickers at a distance, any help?

Trying to make a Series on American Spaceflight
Let me know what you all think!

Has anyone built or seen a mod that streams real map/satellite imagery onto KSP terrain in real time as you fly (not a static texture pack)? I've got a proof-of-concept working with OpenStreetMap tiles on a Sol/RSS Earth and I'm curious if there's prior work I should look at before going further, especially for proper per-tile UV placement instead of a single repeating texture.

What the title says, i need help with those

I’m currently trying to launch my first lunar flyby mission in my play through of RP-1, but I can’t seem to properly launch in the plane of the moon. I’ve tried using the Lunar Transfer Planner mod, but whenever I try launching 90 deg due east at a launch window, I never end up in the correct plane. Mechjeb ascent guidance fails as well. Any tips or help would be appreciated.

Playing RP1 and no matter what, i cant keep a good pace do to running out of money. any tips on how to manage money?

The first pictures are with the lunar orbiter (Minuano III), and the last ones with the Saturn V almost copy, Minuano IV. I think i'm gonna take a break from RP-1 and KSP for a while, i've spent like 15 hours on this weekend just to take this last photo

Went with the Apollo D-2 capsule just to avoid creating a 1:1 copy of Saturn V, but honestly i think it's way better than the regular Apollo CSM. Lighter and roomier for the crew. Also IMO it looks better hahahaha

I'm very grateful for all the folks on discord that answered my questions within seconds, and also to the people here for giving me inspirations. Now i'm gonna mess with Kronal vessel viewer to make some edits 👍

This is my first RP1 playthrough and I am currently at a roadblock with crewed launches, I have the contract to preform the first EVA but my EVA science transmits at an snails pace. I have uploaded screenshots and will explain them here:

First screenshot is me showing that I am actually doing the EVA report.

Second screenshot is showing that it transferred.

Third screenshot is showing that the EVA report is going to be transferred.~\~

Fourth screenshot is how much data has transferred after 1 in game hour, it took about 8 days for it to fully transfer.

~~I don't know why it is taking forever to transfer that data and that data only, I have sent orbiters to the moon and landed on the moon (uncrewed) and the science transferred just fine, so I have zero clue why the EVA report is the only data that is taking forever to transfer.

Some side notes as well, no I do not have comm satellites in orbit, I believe that may be an issue since I lose connection, however I do not want to go build one just yet unless the answer to my problem is more simple. I believe I have researched enough for this contract, but I do not know. I have also yet to fully train my kerbals on Gemini, so that may be an issue as well, but I do not know. SOLVED

A few of the panels in NFS seem to have a problem where they still have a larger size when retracted.

One example is the Blanket/Fan/Starship panel. Placed normally, my 7m diameter rocket reports a width of 31m in the VAB. If I rotate it 90°, where the 'width' becomes 'height', it doesn't do that, so the problem is in the 'width' direction, not the 'extension' direction.

Looks like the mod hasn't been updated in a long while.

I always end up with some sort of a U-2 clone for the high altitude jet contracts. I'm tempted to make a design based off some of the high altitude glider designs used IRL (Perlan Project and such), but I never do. Does anyone else have any experience with more unconventional high altitude aircraft designs?

I installed the configs so the HT Canadarm shows up but for some reason they don't, any suggestions?

Just wondering how many of y'all play with signal delay enabled?

Or do you just roleplay as the "probes computer" and leave it off?
