Version 0.9.0 ==================================================================================================== Installation: * Unzip the contents of this package onto a directory of your choice (ex. C:/Program Files/KSP) * If you plan to overwrite a previous version of KSP with this one, please delete the contents of the folder before unzipping. WARNING: It's very likely that parts and/or ships created on previous versions will be incompatible with the latest release. At this point in development it is quite impossible to ensure backward-compatibility at each step, so please keep this in mind. If you encounter something that could be a bug, try again on a fresh installation and no addon parts. It may just be an incompatibility issue. =================================================================================================== Disclaimer: THIS SOFTWARE IS CONSIDERED TO BE IN ALPHA STATE, AND MAY CONTAIN BUGS.

This means they're now smarter * Parts can now specify their preferred relative stage though the cfg * Editing the staging sequence now creates Undo states. * The Debug Console can now be opened in the loading screen to debug load problems * Stages can now be manually created and, when empty, deleted * Stages are now represented as groups with parts inside them, instead of just separated by indicators * The staging stack now scrolls manually using the mousewheel (when mouseing over it) * Icons in the staging stack can now be multiple selected and moved as a group * Whole stages can now be dragged and repositioned * Stages can now be reset manually through a reset button * Empty stages delete themselves in flight * Active parts in previous stages move up to the current stage. * Parts on the VAB list will now display their stats when hovered over. * The tooltip for parts in the VAB will no longer go lower than the screen * Holding shift while selecting a part in the VAB will now select the pod so the whole ship can be moved * Parts now have an ActivatesEvenIfDisconnected parameter on the cfg to allow them to be activated after jettisoning * The VS Gauge now uses a log scale, to allow greater precision with small values * The Strut Connector. A compound part to create physical linkages between any 2 parts * Parachutes now have a 'useAGL' parameter. If that's enabled, it will deploy when it reaches deploy altitude from ground level * Symmetrically placed Icons are grouped into a single icon Bug Fixes: * Fixed a bug that caused parts to activate out of sequence sometimes. * The scroll wheel is no longer read if the application is unfocused. * Staging lock is now preserved if the application is unfocused and refocused. * Fixed the MET clock, which would loop back to 00:00:00 when a mission went on for longer than 24 hours * Changed the debug console key to Alt + the key left of 1. It would interfere with the throttle controls in flight. * Fixed parachutes not deploying if not set to the last stage. (they can still deploy when jettisoned) * Fixed a silent error when parts set an explosion potential higher than 1.0 * Eliminated the jitter on the VS gauge * Changed the physical attachments between parts again, so the stack is less wobbly overall ===================================== v0.8.5 ================================================ New: * Added copying of parts (and sets of parts) by holding Alt while clicking on them. * Replaced tricoupler textures and UV mapping (UV map by Dippeggs) * Parachutes can now deploy automatically if jettisoned along with other parts (allowing for parts to be safely landed) * Stage decouplers can now share fuel across stages. * Added Keys to control the camera in the VAB (+/- for zooming, pgup/pgdown for scrolling) * Added Keys to control the camera in flight (+/- for zooming) * Added some sound effects for the parachute opening * Added cfg-definable parameter for parachute autodeployment delay * Added a debugging console to the game (can be toggled with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C) * Right-clicking the Symmetry Button will now step the symmetry mode back. * It is no longer possible to select a part of the ship while the mouse is over any interface items. * Added toggle key to switch between precision or instant input modes (Caps Lock) * Pitch, Yaw and Roll gauges change color to indicate mode (orange for instant, cyan for precision) * Exposed Kd, Ki and Kp parameters for tuning the SAS and CommandPod modules Bug Fixes: * Fixed the staging lock LED not turning purple after launch * Icons no longer show a transparent border floating around then mousing over disconnected parts. * Fixed a bug where deleting a symmetrical part would sometimes leave it's counterparts floating around. * Fixed a bug where creating a new stage with a decoupler and then removing it would generate errors. * Fixed most sound volume decay over distance problems. * Fixed a bug that caused a massive performance drop when fuel tanks emptied (fuel tank switch lag bug) * The Flight camera will now remain always centered on the ship's center of mass. * The Screenshot function will now create a Screenshots directory if one isn't found. * The altimeter will now go past 999,999K correctly (it will move up to 1000M, then 1000G, 1000T and so on) * Fixed a bug that could cause large ships to explode at 5,000m altitude. ===================================== v0.8.4 ===================================================== Bug Fixes: * Fixed a small but incredibly disrupti...
