Bug Fixes & QoL Improvements

Construction

• Fixed: Telemetry wasn't up to date in SAS FixedUpdate
• Fixed: Map UI breaks when a targeted vessel gets destroyed
• Fixed: TelemetryComponent NREs upon destruction of a targeted vessel
• Fixed: Orbital line in other SOIs no longer ignore axialTilt, which means more accurate orbital lines.

Other

Performance

• Reduce string overhead in Module_RCS when thruster status text is not visible.
• Refactor RelativeOrbitSolver to avoid allocating TransformModels (Lots, and lots of profiling the map view. Eventually we got it down though, probably.)
• Enabled DirectStorage

Mod Breaking Changes

• Custom UITK elements made with UxmlFactory are no longer supported in Unity 6.4. Please upgrade to [UxmlElement] attribute-based custom elements. More info in the Unity documentation.

Known Issues

• The new SM+ engines' gimbal animation is not final
• The SM+ parts have no reentry VFX yet
• Balancing for SM+ parts is not final
• "Project Shakespeare" KSP1 mod loader is in an extremely early, experimental state. It is meant as a preview for our future comprehensive editor tooling for helping KSP1 modders port their parts to KSP2 Redux.
