[00:33:56] 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] Took a while to figure out how to fly that rocket efficiently enough. [00:34:34] To get there.

I spend more time in space than in any atmosphere [13:07:04] but yeah, some support for optional wind would be cool [13:33:37] of course the stream did not start automatically. i would have missed it without the delay [13:38:21] 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] 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] 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] I've already tried this multiple times, but the error remains [13:41:56] The KSP log file contains plenty of individual error messages [13:41:56] so it's not a strangely corrupted file. that's good, in a way [13:42:19] i made it out of the crater onto the highlands! [13:42:28] well, that's not so good (depending on the messages) [13:42:32] with 0.67 monoprop to spare [13:42:49] For instance: [WRN 15:23:48.639] Audio file: editorLoop01 load error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found [13:43:06] some mods break KSP's loading process and that sometimes falsely blames the DLCs [13:43:29] Well it's a clean install, so there aren't any mods that could cause such an issue [13:43:43] It's the stock 1.9.0 with both dlcs [13:44:00] i wonder if i can crash the rovers to get some seismograph data [13:44:03] There are also various texture load errors, for the flags for instance [13:44:31] doubly weird. which kind of GPU do you use? [13:44:42] there was some bugginess with AMD as I recall [13:45:09] For starters I'm using an NVIDIA gpu. Checking which one [13:45:40] 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] Ok I'll give it a shot. Thanks though :) [13:47:39] Does Steam have the option to disable/enable the dlc? [13:47:59] it has the option to un-/install them [13:59:01] i gotta find some dunes on duna now [14:03:22] maybe less than 10 minutes [14:05:14] i don't think they're going to launch today tbh lol [14:07:47] there it is, no go [14:07:53] from range coordinator [14:08:24] it seems so silly to do it like this [14:08:53] there is no process to change the process [14:09:35] just let people flip a switch [14:09:46] all lights green = go, one red = no go [14:10:33] also, lel @ america strong [14:17:45] lol, comm seems to have some communication issues [14:17:59] yes i noticed that in the previous callout too [14:20:57] "go pending - with a 90% chance of no-go" that sounds a bit euphemistic [14:21:08] hehe [14:23:04] well, it's a Space Force mission. the brass are watching [14:23:10] hehe [14:23:35] at least they dont launch like the soviets did: because of politics knowing they are going to fail [14:35:04] i dunno [14:35:14] i feel like they could launch through some clouds [14:35:31] i do it in kerbal all the time [14:37:03] I don't have clouds in KSP. [14:37:13] Or wind. [14:37:23] playing on easy mode i see [14:37:32] normal [14:37:48] 1.7.3 [14:39:15] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:31:49] https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1261677306159890432 [15:31:50] <✔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] a conflict at the range? ok? [15:36:10] ceos walked into a firing range, and settled it with shooting? [15:57:56] no, that's on monday [17:54:06] scheduling conflict - another rocket occupies your launchpad [18:29:29] ugh [18:29:55] i'm sending a rescue ship to get my eve orbital crew who are stuck in solar orbit [18:30:07] hehe [18:30:34] but its looking like i'll have two ships running out of snacks stuck in solar orbit now [18:31:08] 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] 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] remember this spaces in paths are never a good idea, yes even today [18:32:03] oh wait, this is a much better encounter [18:33:56] i'll have about 2k dv left [18:34:27] i just need to add the weight of the pod with a heatshield and parachutes to that [18:35:21] the time constraint vis-a-vis the snacks really makes it more difficult [18:35:33] and also very nonsensical of me to send another crewed vessel up there [18:37:30] scott [19:13:49] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Hikaru' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:51:41] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:12:24] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Hikaru' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
