KSP Chat Bridge 0.2.1 (bridge-free)

KSP Chat Bridge 0.2.1 (bridge-free patch)

• ILS/autoland: localizer uses the true KSC runway centerline (the 27 end was -0.0502, now -0.0486; the old line ran ~230 m south). Touchdown speed comes from a sane stall floor (approach 1.35x, flare 1.15x).
• Taxi: 9 m/s target (5 in turns), low TWR-capped throttle, wheel brakes, no airbrakes on the ground, full stop after rollout.
• Measured per-craft deceleration sets where the approach slowdown begins (DECEL marker on map/ILS).
  Optional mods: SCANsat, MechJeb2, RasterPropMonitor, JSI Advanced Transparent Pods. Source code is attached by GitHub below.

KSP Chat Bridge 0.2.0 (bridge-free)

KSP Chat Bridge 0.2.0 - bridge-free. Everything now runs inside the mod; no external AICSBridge.exe is needed.

Highlights

• In-mod AI: the copilot (plans, autopilot, tools) runs in KSP, with direct routing for clear commands.
• Autoland with editable approach charts: hot-swappable per-runway chart files (PluginData/charts), line-based joins, a stabilized speed schedule with measured per-craft deceleration, a coupled ILS (LOC + GS), and go-around limits.
• AICS Map & Charts window: fog-of-war map, chart editor, ILS tab with hand-flying guidance and callouts; resizable.
• Crew chatter and intercom written by the model, with canned fallback.
• Flight plans with distance steps ("hold heading for 3k"), resume and follow of the current plan, plus taxi improvements.

Optional mods (detected at runtime, never required)

• SCANsat: the map reveals terrain from scan coverage.
• MechJeb2: orbital planners (transfers, plane matching, course corrections).
• RasterPropMonitor (FirstPersonKSP): AICS ILS and AICS MAP pages on IVA MFDs (AICS_RPM.cfg).
• JSI Advanced Transparent Pods (JPLRepo): see-through cockpit windows.

Install: unzip so you get GameData/KSPChatBridge (single plugin DLL). Your PluginData settings are never overwritten. The source code is attached by GitHub below.

AICS - KSP Chat Bridge 0.1.1

AICS - KSP Chat Bridge 0.1.1

No Python needed any more. The release zip now includes the bridge as a standalone Windows program,
GameData/KSPChatBridge/Bridge/AICSBridge.exe. Unzip into your KSP folder (or install with CKAN), start KSP, done:
the plugin starts the bridge hidden and stops it when KSP quits.

Changes

• Bundled bridge AICSBridge.exe (PyInstaller one-file build of run_bridge.py, a single exe so KSP never sees extra DLLs; serve by default,
  AICSBridge.exe mcp for the ChatGPT/Codex desktop app, --help for the rest; port via KSPCHAT_PORT).
• The exe keeps your data (.env API keys, settings, playstyle notes, crew personalities, logs) in
  GameData/KSPChatBridge/PluginData/. Never shipped in the zip, kept across updates.
• Plugin: uses Bridge/AICSBridge.exe when bridge_dir in PluginData/bridge.cfg is empty (or the old
  placeholder); a valid bridge_dir still runs python run_bridge.py serve from a source checkout.
• Throttle up with engines shut down (after an abort / emergency) re-lights them: the pilot fumbles for a few
  seconds, then 'engines back on'.
• 'stop current (plan)' cancels the flight plan and all autopilots without touching the throttle; works in
  combos like 'stop current, and land at 27' ('land at 27' / 'land on runway 09' are direct orders now).
• README / wiki: install without Python, a from-source section, and Transparency / build it yourself.

Upgrading from 0.1.0 with bridge_dir set to your checkout: nothing changes, you keep running from source. To
switch to the exe, clear bridge_dir and copy your .env (and bridge_settings.json, playstyle_notes.md,
kerbal_personalities.json if you want them) into GameData/KSPChatBridge/PluginData/.

Transparency

The exe is built from this repository's public source with PyInstaller 6.22.3 by tools\package_release.ps1:

python -m PyInstaller --noconfirm --clean --onefile --windowed --name AICSBridge --icon assets\AICSBridge.ico --add-data "playstyle_notes.example.md;." --collect-submodules kspchat run_bridge.py

Some antivirus tools flag PyInstaller programs by heuristics. If you'd rather not run it, run the bridge from source
(see the README).

KSPChatBridge 0.1.0

First public release of KSPChatBridge for KSP 1.12.x: an AI copilot and crew. Chat with your pilot and crew, give captain's orders (speed, altitude, heading, pitch, throttle, gear, flaps, chutes, eject), autopilots for planes, props and helicopters (takeoff, fly-to, autoland with reversers), Flight Plan overrides, emergency detection with MAYDAY calls, a Systems dashboard with master caution lights, and a STATUS window. Requires kRPC 0.6 and the Python bridge (see README). MechJeb2 + kRPC.MechJeb recommended.
