ChangeLog:
=================================== v1.0.4 =====================================
=======================
Bug Fixes:
* Hot-Fixed an issue where loading vessels equipped with heatshields from pre-1.
0.3 saves would cause the game to crash.
=================================== v1.0.3 =====================================
=======================
New:
Parts:
* Added five new Radiator parts, three of which are deployable.
Bug Fixes and Tweaks:
Misc:
* Fixed a bug where using the reset button with an Asteroid loaded would break t
he Mun tutorial.
* Made part's internal highlighter much more efficient.
* Disabled flashing highlighter in temperature gauges. (fixes memory leak with t
emperature overlay)
* Fixed KSPUtil.PrintLatitude/Longitude giving wrong result for small negative v
alues.
* Fix for horizontalSrfSpd being incorrectly calculated.
* Fixed unfortunate typo in the Docking Tutorial.
* Fixed an issue where moving the camera using a 3D mouse would break drag-and-d
ropping of parts in the editors.
Thermal:
* 1.0.3 features a revised thermal mechanic to better balance heating/cooling be
tween pods and spaceplanes.
* Parts now have separate internal temperature and skin temperatures.
* Skin temperature is the temperature used for radiation and convection, as well
as engine exhaust damage.
* Part internal temperature is increased by modules that generate heat and is us
ed for part-part conduction.
* Part internal and skin temperature also conduct between each other.
* Solar panel efficiency is now calculated based on skin temperature.
* When in an atmosphere, there is a divide between the exposed (to convection) a
nd unexposed skin temperatures.
* When not in an atmosphere, only one skin temperature is tracked; the two tempe
ratures are unified on atmosphere exit.
* Radiative outflux and influx is tracked separately for exposed and unexposed a
reas of skin (since the shock temperature is much higher than ambient temperatur
e).
Physics:
* Added curve to control drag coefficient exponent to DCL and Physics.cs
* With lowered drag for sharply-tapered cubes, wing lift and wing drag lowered t
o match.
* Convection velocity exponent raised to 3.3 to increase reentry heat, as well a
s convection factor.
* Convection min area typo corrected.
* Newtonian convection kept pace with hypersonic convection.
* Drag curves modified to lower transonic hump.
* Wing curves modified to lower change in drag based on deflection.
* Calculation of exposed area for convection fixed, spaceplanes no longer get as
extreme heat.
* Flight integrator: allow setting of newtonian density exponent (default 0.5) a
nd use density or density^exponent whichever is greater.
* Broke radiation into two parts, you get the regular background temp on your fa
ce not exposed to reentry flux, and the very high reentry one for the area that
is.
* Clamped convection correctly so you will never pass external temperature.
* Added a factor to simulate the switch from laminar to turbulent flow (in layma
n's terms, if you're going too fast too low, you get a massive boost to heating)
. That corrects so steep reentries are in fact deadlier than shallow ones.
* Added conduction-changer module to Mk1 and Mk1-2 pods (necessary to not kill c
hutes), buffed heat shields for new heat loads. Changed burn/rip numbers for dro
gue chutes.
* Parachute module updated to use the new convection code.
* Skin temperature variables are controllable on per-part basis.
* Sped up Flight Integrator slightly by minimizing repeated loops through parts.
* Better compute various vessel values This should lower phantom orbit changing
and wobble!
* Remove thermal mass as a factor in conduction rate: what matters is area.
* Add conduction between parts' skins (as well as between the internals of parts
, between a part's internals and its skin, and between the exposed and unexposed
skin of a part, all of which were already in.)
* Fix some small issues in conduction (better clamping), sped it up slightly.
* Fixed issue with radiation (no longer have to use dirty hack to prevent parts
blowing up).
* Lowered skin thickness slightly globally, made magic number sane (part.skinMas
sPerArea is now in kg/m^2).
* Added Hsp (resource thermal mass value) to Ore resource.
Parts:
* Updated Mk1 Inline Cockpit model.
* Further decrease in LV-N heat production.
* Rebalance of SRB for the new drag changes.
* KR-2L description updated, mass to 9t, SL Isp to 255.
* Jet thrusts rebalanced for new drag (thrusts lowered, BJE curves altered). Jet
Isp halved due to increased fuel quantity and lower drag.
* Lowered LV-N heat a bit, still a bit hot.
* Edited KS-25x4 "Mammoth" engine description.
* Update description of radial-mount engines to recommend use for extra attitude
control.
* Mk1 fuel tank: uses same dry mass fraction and resource filling compared to it
s LFO counterpart as Mk2 parts do.
* Radial attachment point cost lowered.
* Shielded docking port radial attach node fixed.
* Aerospike mass lowered as a buff (it needed a buff to compete with late-tier e
ngines) and tangents fixed.

* Heat shield thermal mass modifier increased to 0.05 to deal with increased hea
ting. Max temp lowered to 3000 to avoid totally overpowered radiation heatloss.
* Mk3 cargo bays have override cubes (they got missed when cargo bays got custom
cubes) - should now have expected drag.
* New large landing gear have override cubes (cubes were reversed).
* Mk3 parts have breaking forces/torques specified and should no longer break on
landing.
* Mk2 cockpits have same breaking force/torque as other Mk2 parts.
* Ablator resource heat capacity increased.
* Rebalanced LV-1 to have Sea Level ISP of 80.
* Rebalanced Poodle to have Sea Level ISP of 90.
* To fix spaceplane vs pod reentry and better allow hot reentries, temp is separ
ated between part internal temperature and part skin temperature.
* Fixed some occlusion issues. Occlusion is now over-generous rather than undergenerous.
* Buffed heat resistance of spaceplane parts.
* Added in CoL and CoP offsets for wing parts, no longer at the attach node.
* Fix for ablator and configs not taking skin temp into account.
* Fixed Radian vs Lat/Lon bug in Overlay and made displays more consistent.
* Fixed potential exploits with sci lab.
* Removed transparency and added direct-attach node to heat shields.
* Balanced heat shields for skin temps. A Mk1-2 straight-in reentry to Eve start
ing at 6.5km/sec surface (more orbital) is just barely survivable (ablator fully
depletes), and regular Eve and Kerbin Munar reentries deplete about 1/6 to 1/4
the shield.
* Added a tuning factor to conduction between parts with different shielded stat
es, so a cargo/service bay won't conduct much to parts within it. Since radiatio
n is disabled for parts within bays, they'd just increase in temperature with no
way to cool during reentry, and parts in bays would be the first to blow up on
reentry.
* Upped non-drogue chute default full-deploy altitude since pods were crashing b
efore the chute fully opened.
* Upped non-drogue chutes' stress/thermal limits for deployment (safe speed is n
ow around 290m/s at sea level rather than 250). Increased the time to fully depl
oy slightly so less of a G shock.
* Increased max temp of linear RCS, slightly decreased max temp of RCS quad.
* Tweaks to fairings to change the skin:internal thermal mass distribution, and
better protect parts inside fairings and cargo bays.
* Not-Rockomax Micronode side stack nodes corrected.
* Parachutes now have deployment warnings in the Part Action menu, when it's saf
e to deploy etc.
* Halved intakeAir requirements for jets. Slightly raises service ceiling, mainl
y helps mitigate flameouts due to resource transfer issues.
* Balanced thermal mass of drogue chutes to correct max opening velocities.
* Attach node refinements on Wing Connector Type A and Structural Wing Type A.
* Removed drag from Intake context UI.
Modding API:
* flow multiplier curves can multiply thrust rather than flow.
* Added method to convert string to ConfigNode.
* Un-hardcoded altitude for navball velocity indicator to change modes.
FX:
* Heat animations for engine nacelles and 1.25m intakes.
* SR-71 style exhaust flame for TurboRamjet.
* Nose and tail cones heat animation.
* Fixed incorrect transparency on the letter P on the UKSA flag.

Career:
* Doing science at the flagPOLe, the north POLe, or the south POLe, will no long
er mark Pol as visited with the progress tracker.
* Science contracts and science World Firsts can no longer be triggered with sci
ence gained by reverse engineering recovered vessels. You have to transmit or re
cover an actual experiment.
* Ensured that if a grand tour contract includes Kerbin, that Kerbin is chosen a
s the final stop on the tour.
* Capped amount of recovery contracts that can generate, but increased caps on s
tation and base to increase contract variety.
* Fixed "On Wheels" optional side objective not triggering on outposts when util
izing the new fixed landing gears.
* ISRU contracts round their capacities up, to handle cases where the player bri
ngs exactly enough resource capacity.
* Use the word "spaceflight" instead of "flight" when appropriate, to prevent pl
ayer mistaking certain things for atmospheric flight.
* If the game cannot find an agent listed in the save file, it will pick a rando
m agent.

mation in their info.
* MapSO and CBAttributeMapSO methods made virtual and member variables protected
.
* Made physics-less part mass effect KB mass value.
* Zero part count vessels will not be run through Flight Integrator.
* Increased mass on some wings.
* Fixed a nullref being caused when clicking between vessels and empty space in
map view.
* Vessels that blow up in atmosphere properly kill off their crew members.
* Added Part temperature gauges/highlighting (toggle with F10).

====================================== v0.25.0 =================================
========================
Highlights:
Destructible Facilties at KSC:
* Crashing into buildings at KSC can now cause them to collapse, which although
satisfying, is very counter-productive to the Space Program.
* Destroyed Facilities won't function until repaired, although most facilities c

an still operate with some degree of damage.
* Repairing broken facilities will cost you in Career Mode.
* Added a new Context Menu to Facilities at KSC which show extra info and to rep
air when necessary.
New Explosion Particle and Sound FX:
* We've added a huge new set of sounds and effects, which can be seen (and heard
) whenever a facility at KSC gets destroyed or repaired.
* Part explosions have also been overhauled for much more violent and better-loo
king fireworks.
New Difficulty Options Menu:
* A new panel is now available when starting a new game (and also through the in
-game settings menu) to allow configuring difficulty settings, like whether or n
ot crews can respawn, whether facilities can be destroyed, and several other par
ameters.
Administration Facility:
* Added a new facility near the Astronaut Complex, and lets you access the Strat
egies screen.
* Added a new music track to play in the background of the Admin Facility, calle
d "Stratejazz".
Strategies:
* Managing your Career is greatly expanded with the addition of Strategies. Stra
tegies let you take control over how your Space Program is managed, allowing you
to tune it to best fit your own playing style.
* Space Program Department Reps: Meet Mortimer Kerman, your Finances guy, Linus
Kerman, Science rep and Wernher's intern (because Wernher is too important to be
bothered with these meetings) and Walt Kerman, PR representative who takes his
job very literally sometimes, and Gus Kerman, head of Operations, who hopefully
cleaned his boots before showing up this time.
* Strategies are of course, completely mod-friendly, and defined through cfg. So
are the departments, in fact.
Crew Transfer:
* Kerbals in the same vessel don't need a spacesuit anymore to switch seats. Jus
t click the crew hatch and select Transfer to tell them to go sit somewhere else
.
Spaceplane Parts Overhaul:
* We've incorporated many parts fromthe very awesome SpacePlane Plus mod by Chri
s Thuersam (PorkJet), giving stock spaceplane parts a much needed overhaul.
* Many, many new parts: Wing sections, Control Surfaces, Air Intakes, Fuselage S
ections and even Cargo Bays added.
* All parts in the Mk2 set were redesigned to be symmetrical in 3 axes. They als
o act as lifting surfaces too.
* The Mk1 Cockpit and Mk1 fuselage sets were also overhauled, and we've also add
ed a new Inline intake part.
* Rebuilt all stock vessels using the new parts.
* Obsolete spaceplane parts replaced by new ones when applicable. (Delta wing, S
tructural wind, Wing Connector, Mk2 fuselages)
KSC Vessel Markers:
* You can now see (and focus/recover) vessels landed near the Space Center direc
tly from the Space Center scene. Markers will show their positions and expand to
show extra information when clicked.
NavBall Vectors:
* The Navball now shows all 6 vectors when in Orbit mode: Progade, Retrograde, R
adial In/Out, Normal and Antinormal.
* Off-screen maneuver vectors now have an arrow which points towards them so the
y're easier to find.
New:
Flight:
* Added a new stock craft, the Learstar A1: A hybrid multistage vessel that func
tions very much like the Shuttle did.
* MapView Filtering state is now persistent.

owed (due to difficulty settings).
Editors:
* VAB and SPH scenes now show visible KSC facilities in their current states (as
in destroyed).
* Hold ModKey to override surface attachment in editors (when you want to stack
to a node but can't because the part insists on sticking to the surface).
Crew Management:
* Automatic Crew Hiring is now disabled depending on difficulty setting.
Scenery:
* Tweaked the main terrain shader to use worldspace triplanar mapping on near de
tail textures. This means we now have enough texture accuracy to texture small r
ocks or even blades of grass. This is still an ongoing project though, not all C
elestial Bodies use this new shader yet.
R&D:
* Entry Purchases in R&D are now required depending on difficulty mode.
* Added a 'Purchase All' button to purchase all parts after researching a node i
n R&D.
* Science Results in Sandbox Mode. They may not be worth much Science (or any at
all), but running science experiments in Sandbox Mode will now show you the sam
e results as in other game modes.
* Recovering/Transmitting Science Data requires an operational R&D Facility (as
in not destroyed).
Misc:
* GameDatabase code tweaked to allow modders to write their own asset loaders.
* Added GameEvents.OnCrewTransferred, fired from CrewTransfer and EVAs leaving a
nd boarding

h-res (multisampled) screenshots.
* Application Launcher added to tracking station (Messages and Contracts App vis
ible).
* Fixed a small bug where entering the KSC scene for the first time in a session
would cause it to jitter from FP inaccuracy. This fixed itself after going into
other scenes, but was annoying nonetheless.
* Tweaked text on Editor Cost Widget, so characters align with the Funds widget
below.
* Funds Widget now has commas to separate groups of 3 digits.
* Fixed a bug in the Editor which prevented some parts from attaching properly t
o n-couplers using symmetry (like the RamJet Turbines)
* Added an "Addons&Mods" button to the Main Menu, that will take you to KSP's of
ficial mod site.
* Massive reorganization of the part folders in the GameData directory.
* Inline Reaction wheel rescaled to size 0, since it was redundant with the Adva
nced Reaction Wheel module before.

now 1.8
* Tweaked the intake area of several intakes for better consistency.
* Fixed Experimental parts not being available in cases where the node was resea
rched but the part itself not purchased.
* Set up a transition matrix system to bypass unnecessary loading screens on som
e scene transitions.

r axis in the Input Screen.
* Revised and updated in-game and readme credits.
* Fixed mouse detection for KSC facilities not working if camera was zoomed too
far out.

vessels planted themselves into the ground.
* Fixed Index Out of Range exception and general crash on moving to flight after
deleting a crewed part in a certain way.
* Kerbal recovery reward set to zero for the time being, to stop reputation expl
oit from recovery at the launchpad.
* Mk2 Cockpit renamed to Mk1 Inline Cockpit (makes a lot more sense, since it wa
s a Mk1 type part anyway).
* Fixed several cases of UIs not stopping mouse clicks on objects behind themsel
ves.
* Fixed a bug on OSX which made it impossible to open the Crew Hatch Dialog and
possibly other dialogs too.
* Contracts App panel is now scalable in the VAB/SPH
* Fixed missing title bar on VAB/SPH on larger resolutions
* Fixed a bug with rescaleFactor parameter in part.cfg when a MODEL node was use
d.
* Fixed scaling issues with OMS Engine.
* Fixed vessel airlocks becoming falsely obstructed sometimes on certain ship de
sign.
* Upgraded all parts using deprecated Winglet subclass to use ModuleLiftingSurfa
ce instead.
* Fixed minor visual issue with galaxy backdrop.
* Moved over ion engine and xenon tanks to Propulsion from Utility.
* Fixed Staging input locks not clearing if leaving the Editors while hovering o
ver staging icons. (resulted in total game freeze)

========================= Asteroid Redirect Mission (v0.23.5.460+) HOTFIX ======
==========================
* This build is a quick hotfix patch to address some issues that managed to slip
by testing
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed an issue with loading existing games, which would cause scenario modules
(like R&D) to not load properly.
* Fixed an issue which caused Kerbals on EVA to become unresponsive after resumi
ng a save.
========================= Asteroid Redirect Mission (v0.23.5.459) ==============
======================
The Asteroid Redirect Mission Patch is a special update in many ways. This time,
we've partnered with NASA to produce a completely new set of features for the g
ame.
Main Features:
* Asteroids:
Kerbin is no longer alone in its orbit. Nearby are countless objects that buzz i
n and out of its sphere of influence, some flying by harmlessly, others on impac
t trajectories. Ranging in size from just a few meters through 5 size classes up
to gigantic objects weighing thousands of tons, these new objects should provid
e a new challenge for both new and veteran players. Each asteroid is procedurall
y generated, so no two are the same. Also, asteroids can have samples taken from
them by EVAs, providing a constant source of valuable science data, right on th
e edge of Kerbin's SOI.
* Object Discovery and Tracking:
Before you set out after an asteroid, you first need to identify and track them
using the Tracking and Discovery features on the Tracking Station Facility. Sele
ct one of the unknown objects spotted near Kerbin, and start tracking it activel
y to reveal more information about it. Also mind that untracked objects can be l
ost if they're left unobserved for too long.
* The Advanced Grabbing Unit (aka "The Claw")
As the name probably implies, this new part is the means by which asteroids can
be captured to be redirected. Just arm the device, approach the target carefully
, and the claw will do the rest. It's like a docking node, but without the need
for a mate node on the other side. Better still, the AGU can be used to grab on
to much more than just asteroids. In fact, it can pick up just about anything, e
ven Kerbals.
* New SLS-inspired Size 3 parts:
We've added a host of new parts, featuring the largest engines and fuel tanks e
ver seen in KSP. These new parts were designed based on NASA's upcoming Space La
unch System, and they pack a huge amount of rocket power. Here they are:
- Size 3 Liquid Fuel + Oxy Tanks, in Full, Half and Quarter-Sized Variants
- 4x Size 3 Engine Cluster. The single most powerful piece of rocketry we've ev
er added to KSP.
- Advanced Size 3 Single-Nozzle Engine, for when you need immense amounts of th
rust in your upper stages
- New Liquid Fuel Booster: A new way to boost your spacecraft, the LFB is a sin
gle part featuring twin engines, plus a very respectable amount of fuel. What mo
re, you can even stack more liquid fuel tanks on top of it.
- The Launch Escape System: Modelled after the Apollo LES, this new escape towe
r can save your crew should you underestimate the sheer power of your new rocket
s.
* Completely Overhauled Part Joints:
We have completely re-done the way parts attach to one another, to allow for muc
h greater flexibility and control over each joint. Joints are also more accurate
and stable, as both jointed sides are now anchored at the attachment node (this
wasn't possible before the Unity 4.3 update).
- Large parts also have a new system that allows them to attach much more rigid
ly to other parts, eliminating many cases where spamming struts was required.
- Increased PhysX's global max angular velocity settings to improve joint stabi
lity.
- Angular inertia values for parts now properly scale with mass. Some ships may
feel heavier to fly now, but handling feels much more realistic overall. This a
lso improves joint stability a lot.
- Re-did the Strut Connector joints as well, to use the new joints system inste
ad of their old ones. This dramatically improved their reliability and significa
ntly reduced the number of ocurrences where ships spontaneously disassemble them
selves on the launchpad.
New Features:
* Added new buttons to the Map Filtering panel to filter Unknown and SpaceObject
type vessels.
* Focusing vessels on the Tracking Station will now display their patched conics
trajectory.
* Added Time Warp controls to the Tracking Station and Space Center scenes.
* Added a button to the Time quadrant in the main flight UI to allow switching b
etwen Mission Time and Universal Time.

nodes to be planned for several orbits ahead.
* Maneuver handles can now be fine-tweaked with the mousewheel when hovering ove
r them.
* RCS and XenonGas containers on earlier stages are now drained before container
s on later stages.
* Celestial Bodies now show a 'Focus View' button on their context menus in Map
View.
* Celestial bodies you have an encounter patch with will display that patch in l
ocal mode when they are focused on the Map View or Tracking Station.
* Switching between Linear and Rotation controls in Docking UI mode no longer to
ggles SAS.
* Fixed a bug where patched conics on extremely eccentric orbits could break the
simulation at very high warp speeds.
* Fixed incorrect rendering of ascending and descending nodes when targeting a n
on-closed orbit.
* Fixed a bug where targeting an object on a hyperbolic orbit wouldn't display r
endezvous information on the map.
* Tweaked the thrust and Isp values of Ion Engines and the two tiny rocket engin
es. All were severely underpowered to be of any practical use.
* Quicksaving is now allowed at all times. In unstable situations, an autosave w
on't be created at the same time.
* Greatly improved the accuracy of the physics->rails transition, eliminating dr
ift on nearby vessels when warping during a rendezvous situation, especially hig
h-velocity ones.
* The Map Filtering buttons now toggle independently on left click, and toggle s
ingle/all on right click.
* Fixed several cases where Kerbals on EVA would glitch out in very painful ways
, mostly when the game changed reference frames while they were in ragdoll state
.
* Intersection nodes between orbits no longer 'skip' the closest intersection wh
en placing a maneuver node near the player's position.
==================================== v0.23.0 ===================================
======================
New:
* The Science Archives:
- Browse through all the science you've done in your Career games in this new se
ction of the R&D Facility.
* Tweakables:
- Several parts can now be tweaked individually by right-clicking them during co
nstruction.
- Landing Gear can be set to start out deployed or retracted, and can also be ma
de steerable.
- Engines can have a thrust limiter set on them, so you can balance out asymmetr
ical thruster configurations (or use differential thrust for taxiing).
- Wheels can be tweaked to have their engines toggled, steering locked, all befo
re launch (and after, of course).
- Control Surfaces can be tweaked to toggle response to pitch, roll and yaw inpu
t individually.
* Science Revisited:
- Transmitting scientific data no longer allows you to max out the value of a su
bject just by repeating the transmission multiple time.
- Removing the experiment data from some experiment modules (for transmission or
by EVA) will render them inoperable.
- Resetting an experiment can still be done freely as long as the data is not re
moved from the module.
* Solar System:
- Added a new Biome Map for Minmus.
- Cleaned up the Biome Maps for Kerbin and the Mun, to remove areas where Biomes
would be detected incorrectly.
* The Lab Module:
- Added a new part called a Laboratory Module, which allows experiment data and
samples to be processed before transmission, increasing their science value.
- The Lab Module requires 2 crews inside to operate and a whole lot of power as
well.
- Added a new button to the experiment review dialog to process collected data o
n the Lab if one is available (and operational) on your vessel.
* EVA Data Transport:
- Kerbals on EVA can now collect the data from experiment modules and store them
on crew-carrying modules.
- Kerbals can also collect data from other data container modules, including oth
er Kerbals.
- EVAs can also store samples collected from other experiments on the Lab.
* Part Tooltips Overhaul:
- The tooltips that pop up when mousing over a part on the editors have been com
pletely redesigned.
- The tooltips show essential info only at first, but can be expanded to show mo
re info with RMB.
- Once expanded, you can right-click again to collapse, or to pin other tooltips
if you hover over other parts.
- Re-organized the part information to group stats for each module and resource
container on a part.
- Added a larger icon for the part on the tooltip itself, featuring a scale to g
ive an idea of size before picking.
* All-around Optimizations:
- We've gone over all our code to make sure it runs as efficiently as possible.
- Upgraded to Unity version 4.2.2 to make full use of its own bugfixes and tweak
s.
- Texture loading has been sped up, loading times are noticeably reduced.
* [Windows-Only] 6-DOF Device Support:
- 6-DOF input devices such as the Space Navigator are now supported both as came
ra and flight controllers.
- Scroll Lock will toggle the device mode in flight.
- Due to driver limitations this is a Windows-only feature for now. We're ready
to implement support in OSX and Linux as soon as those drivers become available.
* Parts:
- The logic for all-vessel resource flow (such as Electric Charge and MonoPropel
lant) has been re-done.
- Fixed those resource containers not being able to drain fully or store an amou
nt larger than their current available space.
* Docking:
- Fixed an issue that caused docking ports to resume their states incorrectly af
ter docking, making it impossible to undock afterwards.
- Fixed a big issue with docking operations through physicsless parts in the hie
rarchy between the port and the original vessel root.
* EVAs:
- EVAs now use actual MonoPropellant for their jetpacks, instead of their own fu
el.
- Fixed an issue with collision resolution that caused EVAs to sometimes fall ov
er and become uncontrollable.
- Kerbals other than you will now pick themselves up from ragdoll state if they
are involved in any 'accidents' or are flat out being used as Kerbowling pins.
- Parts that land onto splashed-down parts are now considered to be landed. This
allows EVAs to walk on floating platforms.
* Other Fixes:
- The Return key will no longer reset the staging sequence in the Editors, or re
turn you to the Main Menu at KSC.
- The Main Menu now remembers the 'page' you were at when you left it, so if you
return from a loaded game, you'll find it still at the "Start Game" screen.
- Fixed several issues with joystick axis mapping and indexing.
- Updated the Input settings screen to expose a few new control options that wer
en't accessible before.
- Fixed an issue that could lead to loss of GUI responsiveness after leaving fli
ght during reentry or supersonic flight.

e fresh batteries in.
- Added a new deployable antenna, which is an intermediate model compared to the
two original ones.

uch better now.
* Tweaked some parameters on the SAS to make it more responsive.
==================================== v0.21.0 ===================================
======================
New:
* Space Center Scene:

- SAS is now enabled for the entire vessel, and requires actuators like winglets
, RCS or others to actually have an effect.
- Repurposed the old SAS modules are now Reaction Wheel Modules, that apply torq
ue while consuming electricity.
- The new SAS logic allows applying manual input while SAS is on, letting you se
t the ship's attitude without having to constantly toggle it.
* Procedural Terrain:
- Added a new module to generate craters procedurally on the Mun.
- Largely revised Kerbin's terrain to produce much more interesting mountains, h
ills, valleys and coastlines.

ics settings.
* Fixed an issue where any parts exploding on the focused vessel would cause the
Flight End dialog to appear.
* Fixed an issue where empty vessels would sometimes be controllable after switc
hing to them.
* Fixed the Retractable Ladders not saving their states properly.
* Landing Legs now use a much improved collision handling system, eliminating le
g wobble on heavy ships.

* Fixed an issue where RetractableLadders would be climbable while retracted if
the ladder wasn't cycled once.
* Fixed a problem where Kerbals would collide and crash against ladder triggers
attached to parts.
* Improved detection/response to vessels below terrain and much better terrain a
ltitude detection for vessels.
* It is no longer possible to save the game (or switch vessels) while very close
to the ground and not landed (could cause terrain fallthrough).
* Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash when starting an EVA.
* Kerbals on ladders no longer get teleported when packed (they just let go).

ccurate flight resuming.
* Fixed a bug in the Tracking Station scene, which prevented scrolling the vesse
l list.

===================
Bug Fixes:
* Found and fixed the real cause of the staging issues that have plagued every r
elease from 13.2 onward.
* The debug console is no longer spammed with NaN errors. This could cause extre
me lag in densely populated game worlds.

ad set up, which was removed)
==================================== v0.14.0x6 =================================
=====================
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed yet another staging issue.
* Fixed an issue with the object scaling for Bill, Bob and Jeb, which made them
not sit right in the cockpit and their screen messages to not appear.

Bug Fixes:
* Fixed an issue that caused parts to be detected as landed when in collision wi
th parts from other vessels, even while flying.
* Fixed an issue where the persistence system would not clean out parts that wer
e landed on other parts, rather than on the launchpad or KSC area.
* Unloaded orbiting vessels will continue orbiting into the ground, if there is
no atmosphere to reentry-burn them.
* The 'isPersistent' part cfg parameter, ironically enough, wasn't persistent it
self.
* Removed an 'experimental' tweak done on the terrain shader that caused the Mun
to look very bright in bright areas, and very dark in dark ones.
* Added an icon image for Landing Legs.
* Fixed the buttons of the pod selection window not responding to clicks when th
e VAB tutorial was active.
* Fixed the VAB tutorial never being shown after the first time, even when activ
ated in the settings.

Bug Fixes:
* Fixed a problem with Jeb's confidence levels (he lost his nerve on x3).
* Fixed a few issues with the atmospheric pressure and temperature curves from x
3.
* Fixed another problem with staging that was made apparent in x3. It caused the
ship to 'skip' stages.
==================================== v0.14.0x3 =================================
=====================
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed the vessel label icons, which were invisible.
* Increased the ejection force of Decouplers and Radial Decouplers (too underpow
ered after the physics fix).
* Removed the landingleg.max file that snuck itself into the distribution.
* Fixed the Camera Mode text not being displayed in flight.
* Fixed the map focus switching (Tab not working).
* Fixed Fuel tanks apparently not resuming fuel levels properly (was an icon iss
ue).
* Fixed Landing legs not resuming their states properly.

still be flagged as being landed.
* Sometimes, landed vessels would spawn a few feet off the ground and stay locke
d in place forever.
* SAS and ASAS modules on other vessels were getting activated along with the cu
rrent focused vessel.
* Reloaded parts were not storing references to their symmetry counterparts prop
erly. That caused all sorts of weird behaviour.

scene.
==================================== v0.14.0x2 =================================
=====================
Bug Fixes:
* The KSC buildings had lost their
nded debris clean up. Fixed now.
* Fixed the flight scene time step
d cause wobbly physics).
* Fixed a problem with the Plugins
ame to halt when loading.
* Removed a save file that sneaked
tags which identified them as eligible for la

being incorrectly initialized as 0.04ms (woul
folder in the Mac version, which caused the g
its way into the distribution.
==================================== v0.14.0x1 =================================

=====================
New:
* Flights are regularly saved to file, to be resumed later. (yes, persistence )
* Support for multiple simultaneous flights and switching from ship to ship.
* The Tracking Station Facility at the Space Center, allows you to select and re
sume a flight in progress.
* Holding the middle mouse button will allow you to rotate the flight camera abo
ut itself, instead of rotating its pivot. (double-clicking the MMB will recenter
it)
* Tweaked the orbit rendering on the Map View to reduce clutter when several ico
ns are moused over at the same time.
* Landed or Splashed vessels now display their coordinates (or location, if avai
lable) when moused over on the Map View.
* More Crew Members so you can launch missions while others are underway.
* An External Module Loader, which enables mod makers to program their own part
modules.
Bug Fixes:
* The flight camera is no longer able to go upside down.
* The ORBITAL camera mode will no longer change orientations when switching sphe
res of influence.

could possibly destroy it.
* Landed/Splashed vessels no longer show an Apoapsis icon on the Map View.

posite reaction).
* RCS Fuel Tanks now drain symmetrically if placed using symmetry.
==================================== v0.13.3 (Demo)=============================
======================
New:
* A Stats Tracking System, so we can collect information of the game for statist
ical purposes.
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed a bug with symmetry in the VAB.
* Fixed an issue with the main camera that would create sporadic moments of lag
in map view.
* Fixed a bug that caused symmetrical parts to lose the reference to one of thei
r counterparts, leading to incorrect symmetrical placements.
* Reverted the Staging logic to the 13.1 system, as the changes made in 13.2 wer
e buggy.
==================================== v0.13.2 ===================================
===================
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed a bug with symmetry in the VAB.
* Fixed an issue with the main camera that would create sporadic moments of lag
in map view.
* Fixed a bug that caused symmetrical parts to lose the reference to one of thei
r counterparts, leading to incorrect symmetrical placements.
==================================== v0.13.1 ===================================
===================

Bug Fixes:
* Removed parent-wise fuel crossfeed from Radial Decouplers. Fuel Lines made tha
t obsolete.
* Fixed an issue that prevented attachment nodes from affecting connected part r
otations properly.
* Fixed an issue with the part loader, which would crash if a binary mesh was fo
und, but no .dae or .obj file was present.
==================================== v0.13.1x1 =================================
===================
New:
* Recompiled on the latest version of the Unity engine, to add multithreaded ren
dering support and better memory management.
* Changed the Fuel Line flow direction, so fuel will flow from the first-placed
end of the line to the second end.

release.
* The part loader will no longer freeze if it cannot find a part module to load.
It will load the base Part module, and make it visible but unavailable on the V
AB.
==================================== v0.13.0 ===================================
===================
* Official Release
==================================== v0.13.0x4 =================================
===================
Bug Fixes:
* Increased the heat conductivity and heat dissipation values for all parts, to
compensate for the new heat exchange system.
* Fixed the time quadrant on the UI being unresponsive to mouse clicks if there
were part icons behind it.
* Fixed the staging quadrant being partially visible in the map view.
* Fixed a problem that made it possible to delete the command pod in the VAB by
using Ctrl+Z.
==================================== v0.13.0x3 =================================
===================
Optimizations:
* Tweaked the part heat exchange model, for a considerable fps boost with very l
arge ships
New:
* Added a new icon for the Fuel Line parts.
* Changed the icon grouping rule on RCS Blocks and Strut Connectors to group to
all parts of the same type on it's stage.
==================================== v0.13.0x2 =================================
===================
New:
* Pressing F2 will hide the UI completely (so you can take UI-free screenshots).
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed the weird 'glass-like' artifacts in game during launch
* Fixed the parts not receiving mouse events on the VAB. This also affected coll
ision detection on the VAB.
* Fixed the in-flight settings screen being drawn under the main UI.
* Tweaked the fuel tank surface attachment point. It was a little too close to t
he collider, and sometimes caused false collisions.
* Fixed a bug with the parts code that allowed them to bypass receiving gravity
and drag forces if it's hierarchy root was destroyed.
* Fixed the map camera code so that it will remember where it was if you re-open
it. (this tweak was left out of the X1 build apparently)
* Fixed the part icon numbers (when multiple icons are grouped) not being positi
oned correctly on a few resolutions.
==================================== v0.13.0x1 =================================

===================
Optimizations:
* Removed a lot of needless halts on the part processing routine during loading.
* Restructured the sound loading system so the main loading thread doesn't wait
for it to finish before moving on.
* Deferred adding of several part components so they're only added when they're
needed.
* Mesh tangents can now be loaded from file, instead of being recalculated every
time.
* The mesh loader now ignores materials from file, because they were going to be
replaced anyway later.
* Meshes are now saved to binary files (serialized) when loaded for the first ti
me, and loaded from those files when they're available.
* Changed the rendering method for the part icons on the staging sequence. This
can prevent thousands of objects from being created when flying large ships.
* Ship parts now have adjustable levels of physics, so small parts are not as de
eply simulated as large ones. This reduces the amount of physics objects and joi
nts to simulate.
* Reduced the amount of code components attached to each part, making for less c
alls on each frame.
New:
* The part loader will check if the saved optimized meshes are out-of-date, and
update them when necessary.
* A new Fuel Line part, that allows fuel to be drained off external (side-mounte
d) tanks.
* It is now possible to warp time freely when the ship is landed.
* Added a progress bar for the loading screen.
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed the mission timer not getting started if the first stage was moved befor
e launching.
* Liquid Fuel now flows from the "top" attachment node, instead of from the pare
nt part (unless there is no top node, in which case it flows from the parent par
t).
* Parts now keep the references to the part attached in each attachment node. (m
akes top-node based fuel flow possible)
* Fixed a bug which prevented the ship selection dialogs from receiving double-c
lick events. Now it is possible to select a ship file by double clicking on it.
* Improved rendering of hyperbolic (escape) orbits in the map view. The trajecto
ry is now a constant size regardless of eccentricity, and isn't warped by the sp
lines.
* The Map camera will now remember it's last position, and return to it when the
map is reopened.
NOTES:
* The new part loading system will generate optimized meshes for all parts whene
ver it finds new part models. This means the first time you run the game, it mig
ht take longer for loading to complete.
* This update introduces some new features that make ships built on previous ver
sions incompatible. If a ship fails to load, it's because it isn't compatible wi
th this version. We apologize for the inconvenience.
==================================== v0.12.0 ===================================
===================
* Official Release
==================================== v0.12.0x5 =================================
===================
Bug Fixes:
* Removed the SAS disabling itself when going into Map View or into high warp ra
tes.
* Implemented a new Kepler Equation solver for extremely high eccentricity orbit
s, the old one was becoming unstable and freezing the game.
==================================== v0.12.0x4 =================================
===================
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed a problem with the Floating Origin system which caused the ship to jitte
r on very high warp rates and speeds. (aka The Warp Shakes)
* Fixed another problem which could cause the game to crash if entering/leaving
another planet's SOI while on 1x or 2x warp.
* (Hopefully) fixed a problem with 0 inclination orbits that could cause them to
become reversed or rotated when transitioning between planets/moons.
==================================== v0.12.0x3 =================================
===================
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed a problem that caused ships to reverse direction when unwarping while on
a hyperbolic orbit.
* Fixed a few typos in some part descriptions.
* Reduced the gimbal range for the LV-T45 engine, which was way too much after t
he gimbal bug fix.
* Fixed the Decouplers not applying a separation force when jettisoned.
==================================== v0.12.0x2 =================================

===================
New:
* The Surface/Orbital speed reading will now change automatically (and can still
be toggled manually)
Bug Fixes:
* The game would crash if the VAB tutorial is advanced too far while keeping the
command module selection window open.
* Engine gimbals were not deflecting as much as they should be.
* Fixed the Max G reading on the flight end screen. Now it will only log sustain
ed G forces.
* Fixed the Surface/Orbital Speed reading getting messed up when restarting a fl
ight.
* Fixed a problem with the Time Warp code, that would sometimes force the time r
ate to 2x, but not unpack the ship. It would also cause G forces and other value
s to be incorrectly calculated.
* Fixed a problem with unpacking the ship for physics that could cause centers o
f mass to be offset, leading to uncontrollable tumbling.
* Fixed a problem that could cause orbits to become reversed when entering/leavi
ng another planet's sphere of influence.
* Changed the Time Warp altitude restrictions to be proportional to the current
planet or moon's radius.
==================================== v0.12.0x1 =================================
===================
New:
* A Moon
* New Orbital Camera Mode. Like Free Mode, but aligned to the solar system plane
, like the Map View Camera is.

* It is now possible to orbit the Sun.
Bug Fixes:
* Improved the way velocities are applied when resuming physics.
* Fixed the Advanced SAS icon showing as a question mark on the VAB.
* Fixed a bug where cloning parts by removing and undoing would cause them to re
ceive duplicate IDs (and crash the game when loading the ship again).
* Tidied up the flight statistics numbers formatting a bit, so they're easier to
make sense of.
* Time Warp will now smoothly increase/decrease towards the set time rate, for a
much more fluid transition.
* Made several improvements to the Map View orbit rendering.
* Fixed the rails->physics transition, so that there is no significant change an
ymore in orbital parameters when going out of warp.
* Made some significant improvements to the physical joints that hold the ship t
ogether. Ships will not wobble anymore when going back into 1x time after warpin
g, and the joints themselves are more stable overall.
* Made a small tweak to the part tooltips on the VAB, to prevent them from going
off-screen on small resolutions. (was noticeable with the new command pod selec
tion dialog)
==================================== v0.11.1 ===================================

owing on really large numbers.
==================================== v0.11.0x4 =================================
=================
New:

*
*
a
*
*

success.
Changed the Flight Tutorial to include the new features added on this update.
Map Icons now properly organize their popup texts if multiple icons are hovere
d at the same time.

stabilize flight, but applies no forces of it's own.
BugFixes:
* High-speed wind sound was audible for no apparent reason on map view
* Time warp dropped to 4x even though there were higher possible options availab
le (when altitude goes below the lower limit for a time rate)
* Orbital time was running much faster than it should at 2x and 4x warp.
* Fixed the Kepler Equation solver in the orbit system, which was causing a numb
er of problems when going into and out of high warp rates.
* Going into warp above 4x now is only possible if no forces are being applied o
n the ship

me start.
* Fixed a problem with the volume settings where explosions would sometimes soun
d out even with volume at 0%
