Updates/Fixes:

  • Corrected and added more Science results for GroundOps experiments
  • Added Science experiment result support for Outer Planets Mod
  • Removed Dmagic Orbital Science as a dependency (For simplicity, I still recommend DMagic's Mod)
  • Updated some solar panel textures
  • Added PBR configs for Shadowmage's TexturesUnlimited mod
  • Added new set of textures for texture toggle
  • Reduced mass but increased cost of the Torekka Dish to bring it closer to the stock equivalent
  • Reduced mass of the Tatsujin dish
  • Reduced Lahar Engine thrust to begin engine balance to more realistic values. More nerfs coming!
  • Reduced Trident Engine thrust to begin engine balance to more realistic values. More nerfs coming!
  • Updated SCANsat support for the new version 18.0
  • Updated the RTG8200 model to more closely match Cassini's. The old model will be retired in the next release
  • Fixed a symmetry issue in the Landvermesser lander core
  • Fixed attachment node issue on Landvermesser lander core
  • Fixed attachment node issue on Landvermesser omni antenna
  • Fixed attachment node on the GRS
  • Fixed a texture load error for all the normal maps (Thanks to Gordon Dry for the fix)
  • Fixed Node orientation on the Landvermesser HGA
  • Fixed Node and fairing issue on the Landvermesser core
  • Disabled antenna power upgrades!!!! To prevent a potential CommNet bug. Verify the DSN range to any active distant probes before upgrading to this version!!!
  • Retired the old cone antenna
  • Added Optional Near Future Electrical RTG decay configs (Thanks to notJebKerman)
  • Updated RealPlume configs
  • Updated Tweakscale configs (Thanks to JSO)
  • Updated RemoteTech configs (Thanks to Jimbodiah)
  • Updated MechJeb and EngineerRedux support
  • Updated included dependencies of Firespitter (Version 7.6.0) and DMagicScienceAnimate (Version 0.19)

Known Issues:

  • KSP log throws a lot of texture errors. This seems to be be due to my heavy use of texture swapping modules. As far as I know, texture are loading fine despite the error
  • Reloading the database from the cheat/debug menu may cause some parts and vessel using them to fail to load. I cannot figure out why. Restarting KSP is the safest way to re-load the assets
  • The Huygens heatshield and aeroshell are better off jettisoned from the right-click menu, rather than staging it. I will continue to test and hopefully solve
