[00:22:46] <darsie> Yep, relay needs to have power, but I think it doesn't use it.
[00:33:56] <darsie> First I picked the HG-5 relay antenna, but it only had 158 km range to internal antennas, so I sent the RA-2 and put it in 2000 km Mun orbit.
[00:34:26] <darsie> Took a while to figure out how to fly that rocket efficiently enough.
[00:34:34] <darsie> To get there.

[10:55:37] <darsie> thx
[10:55:39] <darsie> live in 69 min
[12:35:07] <packbart> lucky Kerbals, no high-winds on Kerbin

[12:59:51] <Mat2ch> packbart: I think it's sad we have no weather on Kerbin
[13:00:05] <Mat2ch> that would make flying so much more interesting
[13:00:23] <Deddly> Yeah, especially as weather is such a huge part of space flight
[13:06:39] <packbart> KSP has to satisfy so many play styles. I spend more time in space than in any atmosphere
[13:07:04] <packbart> but yeah, some support for optional wind would be cool
[13:33:37] <Althego> of course the stream did not start automatically. i would have missed it without the delay
[13:38:21] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> I've got an issue regarding the making history and the breaking ground dlc. Upon start-up (on a fresh & clean install of KSP), I get the following error message: "Expansion Loading Failed - The following expansions failed to load: C:\...\MakingHistory\makinghystory.kspexpansion: Unable to load the Expansions Master Bundle ..."
[13:38:21] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> Most parts work in-game, but I can't place the k-1000 controller (for the robotic parts). I can't even get it out of the inventory. Whenever I click it, I hear a click and nothing else happens. Thus, I cannot make use of the robotic parts, which is quite annoying. Does anyone know how to fix this issue or how to further investigate it?
[13:41:06] <packbart> there might be some more information in KSP's log file. if you downloaded KSP from Steam, it might help to use the "verify files" option
[13:41:29] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> I've already tried this multiple times, but the error remains
[13:41:56] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> The KSP log file contains plenty of individual error messages
[13:41:56] <packbart> so it's not a strangely corrupted file. that's good, in a way
[13:42:19] <flayer> i made it out of the crater onto the highlands!
[13:42:28] <packbart> well, that's not so good (depending on the messages)
[13:42:32] <flayer> with 0.67 monoprop to spare
[13:42:49] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> For instance: [WRN 15:23:48.639] Audio file: editorLoop01 load error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
[13:43:06] <packbart> some mods break KSP's loading process and that sometimes falsely blames the DLCs
[13:43:29] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> Well it's a clean install, so there aren't any mods that could cause such an issue
[13:43:43] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> It's the stock 1.9.0 with both dlcs
[13:44:00] <flayer> i wonder if i can crash the rovers to get some seismograph data
[13:44:03] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> There are also various texture load errors, for the flags for instance
[13:44:31] <packbart> doubly weird. which kind of GPU do you use?
[13:44:42] <packbart> there was some bugginess with AMD as I recall
[13:45:09] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> For starters I'm using an NVIDIA gpu. Checking which one
[13:45:40] <packbart> other than that, I'm out of clue, sorry :) the forum might know more, though. at least more people will read it there
[13:46:00] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> Ok I'll give it a shot. Thanks though :)
[13:47:39] <sandbox> Does Steam have the option to disable/enable the dlc?
[13:47:59] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> it has the option to un-/install them
[13:59:01] <flayer> i gotta find some dunes on duna now
[14:03:22] <Althego> maybe less than 10 minutes
[14:05:14] <flayer> i don't think they're going to launch today tbh lol
[14:07:47] <Althego> there it is, no go
[14:07:53] <Althego> from range coordinator
[14:08:24] <flayer> it seems so silly to do it like this
[14:08:53] <packbart> there is no process to change the process
[14:09:35] <flayer> just let people flip a switch
[14:09:46] <flayer> all lights green = go, one red = no go
[14:10:33] <flayer> also, lel @ america strong
[14:17:45] <flayer> lol, comm seems to have some communication issues
[14:17:59] <Althego> yes i noticed that in the previous callout too
[14:20:57] <packbart> "go pending - with a 90% chance of no-go" that sounds a bit euphemistic
[14:21:08] <Althego> hehe
[14:23:04] <packbart> well, it's a Space Force mission. the brass are watching
[14:23:10] <Althego> hehe
[14:23:35] <Althego> at least they dont launch like the soviets did: because of politics knowing they are going to fail
[14:35:04] <flayer> i dunno
[14:35:14] <flayer> i feel like they could launch through some clouds
[14:35:31] <flayer> i do it in kerbal all the time
[14:37:03] <darsie> I don't have clouds in KSP.
[14:37:13] <darsie> Or wind.
[14:37:23] <flayer> playing on easy mode i see
[14:37:32] <darsie> normal
[14:37:48] <darsie> 1.7.3

[15:31:50] <kmath> <✔SpaceX> Due to a conflict on the Range, now targeting Monday, May 18 at 3:32 a.m. EDT for launch of Starlink
[15:31:55] <Mat2ch> a conflict at the range? ok?
[15:36:10] <Althego> ceos walked into a firing range, and settled it with shooting?
[15:57:56] <sandbox> no, that's on monday
[17:54:06] <packbart> scheduling conflict - another rocket occupies your launchpad
[18:29:29] <flayer> ugh
[18:29:55] <flayer> i'm sending a rescue ship to get my eve orbital crew who are stuck in solar orbit
[18:30:07] <Althego> hehe
[18:30:34] <flayer> but its looking like i'll have two ships running out of snacks stuck in solar orbit now
[18:31:08] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> After almost 2 days of troubleshooting, I finally figred out how to fix the "Unable to load the Expansion Master Bundle." error. The game path contains spaces and the # symbol, which for some reason causes the expansion to not load properly. I managed to find this bug report, where a combination of spaces and the + symbol cause the same error. Real
[18:31:08] <Ron_Shadow_TTM> ly strange imo, but I guess that most people use camelCase or only spaces for spacing when naming folders. Link to the bug report: https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/24391
[18:31:54] <Althego> remember this spaces in paths are never a good idea, yes even today
[18:32:03] <flayer> oh wait, this is a much better encounter
[18:33:56] <flayer> i'll have about 2k dv left
[18:34:27] <flayer> i just need to add the weight of the pod with a heatshield and parachutes to that
[18:35:21] <flayer> the time constraint vis-a-vis the snacks really makes it more difficult
[18:35:33] <flayer> and also very nonsensical of me to send another crewed vessel up there
