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.
