WARNING: It's very likely that parts, ships and/or saves created on previous
versions will be incompatible
with the latest release. Although we try to preserve saved data as much as we can
during development, it is
impossible to ensure backward-compatibility on every update, especially with modded
installs, so please keep
this in mind. If you encounter something that appears to be a bug, try again on a
fresh installation and no
addons. It may just be an incompatibility issue.

their own gameevents.
* Add method for searching for gameevents and mods can register to other mods
gameevents.
* Add title to ResourceInfo so we can have a displayname that's not the key.

+++LoadGameDialog
When a game is saved it now creates an associated metadata file - called
<SAVENAME>.loadmeta alongside the <SAVENAME>.sfs. This file contains a hash of the
sfs save. When the loadgame dialog opens it will compare the hash in the .loadmeta
file with the hash of the savegame, and if so it will use the data in the .loadmeta
file for the load dialog details instead of parsing the whole save file.

* Change default eva light binding to not clash with translate left.
* Allow mods to circumvent contract weight limits

=================================== v1.2.0
============================================================
+++Unity 5.4
* Engine change from 5.2 to 5.4.0p4

+++Libraries and Packages


* Implemented Text Mesh Pro, which basically vectorizes all of our fonts, making
them look much better, especially at larger font sizes. Also has a lot of extra
utility that we can leverage for various effects.
* Upgraded Vectrosity to latest version.
* Upgraded Vehicle Physics Pro to latest version.

+++Code cleanup
* Heavily reduced garbage generation caused by foreach loops, Linq usage, and
various other things.
* Made sure that all of our singleton classes properly clean themselves up.
* Optimized KerbalEVA.
* Rewrote CrewManifest and related crew handling (roster, vessel crew list, etc).
* Optimized PartModules.
* Optimize latitude/longitude/altitude calls to often use a combined get-all
method.
* Fix how some enumerator interfaces are declared in classes.
* Optimized waypoint site name generation to generate a lot less garbage with its
string lists.
* Many part modules now cache parts instead of polling the entire vessel multiple
times per frame.
* Revised how most forces and torques are applied (see note on this subject below
in Moddability).
* Added DoubleCurve
* ScenarioModules now awake and load during game load and so are valid in modules'
OnStart.
* Considerable work to Krakensbane and FloatingOrigin to improve precision and
performance and lower garbage.
* Various ISRU fixes and performance improvements.
* Default KSPEvents and KSPActions to being nonpersistent in terms of state. This
means all their fields won't be serialized/deserialized to and from the save game
files.
* Now always use g0 = 9.80665 and G (big G) = 6.67408e-11 for gravitational
constants.

+++Flow Overhaul
* Rewrote resource flow entirely. Now just four flow modes. Can set per-tank
priority for all but AllVessel and NoFlow. Surface crossfeed for rocket engines as
well as jets. Fixed priority issues. Much faster. PartResources no longer
MonoBehaviours. Can set crossfeed per attach node. Electric Charge now uses
STAGE_PRI so can be prioritized. Resource transfer in flight can be set to require
valid crossfeed for those resources which obey crossfeed. With Advanced Tweakables
on, can see flow graph in VAB/SPH (right-click on a part).

+++SAS
* Fixed SAS unlocking for all ships in physics range when maneuvering the ship in
focus.
* The code for the older �Stability Assist� and somewhat newer �Pilot Steering�
modes has been unified.
* SAS now dynamically adjusts for the vessel�s mass properties and available
control authority.
* SAS uses a �stability decay� method to reduce oscillations (or twitching) when
very near the target orientation.
* Pilot Steering modes now include a �coast� and �stop� mode when transitioning
between steering points.

+++Wheels
* WheelColliders are now properly handled by collision manager, and no longer
require the wheel "blocking" workaround to clip into other parts.
* Fix hill "sticking" force overcompensating, resulting in a not so slow drift
uphill when parked on one with wheels or legs.
* Wheel deployment modules now search along the animation timeline upon retraction
for the time closest to where the wheel suspension is located, instead of starting
from 100%. This fixes the hop when retracting landing legs.
* Added tweakable that allows player to specify whether his wheels deploy while
shielded in a cargo bay.
* Fix landing legs being exported to the wrong collision layer.
* Wheel gravity is now properly handled in a standard manner, which should fix a
good deal of instability.
* Fix EVA kerbals blowing up wheels on contact. They now go through them.
* Fixed landing legs teleporting from a semi-deployed state to a semi-retracted
state when retracted.
* Wheel damage does not process damage for two seconds after a vessel loads,
prevents spontaneous explosions.
* Suspension colliders are no longer disabled for 0.5 seconds upon retract, causing
them to fall through the ground momenarily, blowing up your engines.
* Deployable landing gear and legs now have deployment sounds.

+++Communications Networks
* Additional functionality and gameplay components to the Antenna and Probe parts
through a series of distinct but related mechanics. When CommNet is enabled, probes
will require a connection back to Kerbin or to a control point to have full
control, and crewed vessels lacking pilots will have slightly limited control
without such a connection. Relays can extend the range of such connections and
bounce signals around planets and moons that would otherwise occlude. Science
transmission receives a bonus for high signal strength. New antenna parts allow
building complex networks, which can be visualized in map view. See KSPedia for
more details.

+++KerbNet
* Added KerbNet, which allows the player to see terrain under their satellite, and
place custom waypoints with a targeting interface. Allows the player to see biomes
and anomalies at higher levels. Scan field of view for KerbNet varies by part and
smoothly changes between surface altitude and orbital altitude.
* KerbNet allows all probes and labs manned by a scientist to map as long as they
have a communications network connection that eventually bounces to Kerbin.
* Gave KerbNet visibility modes to hide some of the interface around the map.
* Gave KerbNet auto-refresh settings to allow it to refresh without player
intervention.
* Gave KerbNet enhanced mode, which activates on some vessels such as rovers to
give them better sensors in certain situations.
* Add game option that allows KerbNet to either orient to the orbit normal,
preventing flipping when passing over the poles, or to orient to north, which is
less disorienting for some players.
* Many aspects of KerbNet given flavor and fluff. Scanning a sun results in yellow
and white noise, scanning a gas giant is similar except hued based on that planet.
Stars and scan static can appear in the background past the horizon of a scan.
* Resources can specify a scientific abbreviation. Utilized in KerbNet for the mode
icon.

+++Debug Window
* Completely overhauled the debug window to utilize new Unity GUI.
* New debug console has syntax highlighting that highlights classes with persistent
pastel colors if they bracket their names. [Bracket] your class names in debug logs
modders.
* New debug console has command input support which is moddable, type /help for a
full listing of commands, and what they do.
* Added new debug screen for creating kerbals with specific names, genders, skills,
levels, and classes.
* Debug options for displaying errors/exceptions as screen messages.
* Added set orbit debug cheat screen.
* Added rendezvous controls to set orbit debug cheat screen.

+++Orbits
* All anomalies (ObT, mean anomaly, eccentric anomaly, true anomaly) are now
consistently negative when approaching the periapsis for both elliptical and
hyperbolic trajectories (previously, only hyperbolic trajectories used negative
anomalies). This means that eccentric anomaly and true anomaly are now in the range
-pi..pi instead of 0..2pi for elliptical trajectories.
* Reference frames instead of quaternions are used for calculating orbital position
and velocity, leading to increased speed when rendering patched conics.
* Improved precision in orbit calculations.
* Rewrote orbit targeting / closest approach finding.
* Fixed issues where objects jump when going on and off rails.
* Fix target orientation markers when the target is on rails.
* Refactored such that orbital position and velocity and vessel position and
velocity are correct for the FixedUpdate cycle.
* Made target relative velocity work for celestial bodies.
* Trajectories that re-encounter a body just escaped are now detected.
* Trajectories that encounter two bodies now correctly show the first encounter
even if it is further out (eg, Mun stealing a Minmus encounter).
* Elliptical encounter trajectories no longer flicker.
* Conic patch settings (draw mode and limit) are now exposed in the Video Settings.
* Added game option for legacy orbit targeting.
* Map node labels space themselves out nicely when cluttered.
* Targeting info for moons in other SoIs now works.

+++Contracts
* Contracts are now also weighted by celestial body, so if the player starts
declining contracts to Jool, they will see them less often.
* Contracts now keep track of if they have been viewed. There are three states:
unseen, seen but not clicked, and clicked and read.
* Contract weighting now applies negative weight if a contract has been viewed when
it expires.
* Exploration contracts now always appear in Mission Control if there is not one
currently available.
* Explore contracts overhauled, they now utilize the same logic World Firsts used
to use to select a "package" of related objectives. They can appear multiple times
per planet now, and should have a much more logical progression than they used to.
* Exploration contract progression slowed slightly, now requires science on a
planet before allowing a fly by of the next one. Also, in the early game, return
from orbit and return from fly by are required before advancing on the Muns of the
homeworld.
* Removed old single objective World First contracts, other than the initial four.
* Waypoint captions for survey contracts now state the altitude band of each
waypoint.
* Fix contract orbits not cleaning up properly when their contracts are cancelled
as opposed to completed.
* Grand tour contracts now require a new vessel to complete, so they cannot be
cheesed by keeping one around that has seen every planet.
* Fix contextual surveys not properly bouncing the navigation waypoint.
* Asteroid recovery objective reworded and given a note for clarity.
* Asteroid side objectives in facility construction contracts will now not appear
unless the same requirements for asteroid recovery contracts to appear are met.
* Crew transfer progress tracking objective reworded to make it clear that it does
not need to utilize existing crew.
* Reworded objective to hold above a waypoint in stationary orbit contracts for
clarity.
* If Kerbal G limits are enabled, tourists can either require going unconscious or
require not going unconscious during the trip. Check the parameter details!
* Adjusted Exploration contract flavor text to work better in multi-objective
scenarios.

+++Biomes
* Biomes for many bodies have been redesigned for clarity, beauty, and utility. And
we've hidden a few extra surprises around as well!

+++Easter Eggs
* Added hidden fun stuff to almost every planet.
* Mohole given an empty PQSCity, which allows it to appear in KerbNet.
* Gave many easter eggs colliders.
* Fix Duna's SSTV not playing.
* Unburied Duna's MSL.

+++Other Work
* Advanced Tweakables option in Gameplay Settings. With it off, some advanced
features are hidden. Defaults off.
* Autostrutting available for all parts (AT).
* Autostruts can be gated behind a technology in career and science mode defined in
Physics.cfg, by default it is the same technology regular struts are on.
* Add grandparent mode to auto-struts.
* Parachutes can have automatic holding of deployment until safe (AT).
* Actuation toggles now affect symmetry counterparts in editor (some other
RCS/gimbal bits do too). Also hidden under Advanced Tweakables (AT).
* Utilize HSV color space in more locations.
* Quadrupled the amount of loading screen messages. You know, the important stuff.
* Loads of new options in the difficulty settings.
* Science data can be transferred by the part-part transfer mechanic (for certain
probe cores).
* Added physics easing for when landed/splashed vessels come off rails.
* Certain probe cores (and the new science container part) can transfer data with
no EVA required.
* There is an additional drag curve whose function is to raise drag coefficient to
a power based on the mach number. This leads to blunter things having (relatively)
more drag supersonic than they did and pointier things having (relatively) less
than they did. Pods will slow down better on steep reentries and planes will
produce drag in better proportion to how streamlined they are (less overpowered
airplane drag).
* Fairings now include support for placing multiple payloads in them (and showing
trusses for said payloads).
* Tourist contracts work better with the Kerbal Gee Tolerance option.
* Add a small negative contract weight for contracts that are read but not
accepted.
* Existing resource narrow band scanner ported to KerbNet interface, allowing it to
zoom, among other things.
* Removed biome readout information and flag rendering on narrow band scanner.
* Added ellipsis to many text labels and fields, to prevent overflow while looking
nice.
* Input keys in the settings screen automatically expand with screen resolution.
* Default parachute deployment mode set to "when safe" - players everywhere
rejoice.
* All tooltips cooked to a nice golden color.
* Added Viewmatic Survey Satellite stock relay craft.
* Added /b4d455 command, which starts a game off with basically everything.
* Background ambiance in the space center scene now fades smoothly between birds by
day and crickets by night.
* Background ambiance in the space center scene now fades out when at max time
warp.
* Background ambiance in general no longer always starts at zero, it randomly seeks
when the scene loads. Hence, loading a game no longer immediately plays the exact
same bird trill.
* Most stock planes given a look over based on player feedback.
* Added editor part categories for ground, electrical, communication, thermal,
payload, and coupling parts.
* Screen message text given much higher visibility.
* Facilities in the space center now have verbose context menus in sandbox mode,
allowing you to see their upgrades. They always show the maximum level of upgrades.
* "Require Complete" on antennae is now persistent and its state is saved.
* Added community contest winner kerbal and unique waypoint names.
* Camera can now be pointed at parts, not just vessel center of mass.
* Added Plane and Relay vessel types/icons.
* Airbrakes now have deployment limits.

* Swap around some early science parts in the tech tree.
* Redid Eve's atmospheric pressure curve to smooth it out and remove errors. Eve's
atmosphere thins out much faster now, so the high atmosphere is thinner. Also
tweaked Jool's atmosphere so it rapidly goes from 15 atmospheres to 50 in the last
few kilometers to achieve crushing pressures.
* Can right-click on icons in the staging list to trigger the Part Action Window.
* Support Rigid Attachment (non-bendy) option for part joints in cfg and in the
PAW.

* Fix terrain vanishing at 1000m depth.
* Allow targeting of close vessels by double-clicking.
* Angle the canopies of parachutes in symmetry away from each other.
* Resource transfer rate when transferring between parts now based on ingame time
(taking warp into account) not realtime.
* Fix issues with TR-2L stats.
* Show tooltips on kerbal portraits.
* Fix scientist skill text.
* Fix issue with ladders not being re-grab-able if you board a seat, retract a
ladder, leave the seat, then extend the ladder.
* Update maneuver node patches (for targeting) when the vessel target changes.
* The runway lights now follow the day/night cycle.
* Moved a low tech wheel to a lower tech tier.
* Moved an atmospheric sensor down to the science tech branch.

+++Misc Fixes and Changes


* Fixed issue where disabled RCS would enable during staging. Mods need to set
stagingEnabled=False in their ModuleRCS blocks (unless they want staging on).
* Catch exceptions during part loading so the loading process doesn't come to a
halt.
* Fix some issues with decouple modules, allow specifying the ejection force
vector.

warp (advanced tweakable).
* Added a game setting for default throttle (rather than keeping it in
Physics.cfg).
* Fix bug where space center view can be messed up on loading a save from the main
menu if the game was switched away from during load (old workaround was clear the

intuitively correct. See note in Moddability, below, for how to update jet parts.
* Fix kerbals sliding on ladders.
* For EVA kerbals, 'SAS' light shows whether the kerbal will reorient when a
translate key is pressed (as set in Input Settings). T toggles this behavior when

+++Moddability
API Docs: https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/api/index.html
* Added FlightGlobals.VesselsLoaded and FlightGlobals.VesselsUnloaded which lets us
iterate over a specific portion of Vessels without checking the entire list.
* Added onVesselPartCountChanged event, fires any time a part is added or removed,
the moment it happens, unlike onVesselModified.
* Added onVesselStandardModification event, collects various vessel events and
fires them off with a single one. (onVesselPartCountChanged, onVesselModified,
docked, undocked, et al)
* Added onScreenResolutionModified event, fires when the screen resolution is
modified.
* Added many accessors/setters.
* Vessel control level can be clamped to a field in Vessel (so can be restricted to
Partial even if otherwise would be Full).
* GetModuleMass/Cost methods can now be passed the situation.
* Fix where kerbal mass (if set to nonzero) was not applied in the editor.
* Added two new dictionary-related classes (DictionaryValueList and
ListDictionary).
* Celestial bodies now cache all of their PQS Cities.
* All game root nodes now generate a random persistent seed, which is different
from game to game.
* All forces on valid parts except wheel forces are now done via
Part.AddForce/Torque/AddForceAtPosition. Note that the forcemode used is Force; to
use a different forcemode, convert the force to the correct amount. It is the job
of the Flight Integrator to then apply all these forces to actual rigidbodies
(rather than all the disparate modules' job).
* Use mass-weighted average angular velocity of parts for vessel angular velocity.
* ITorqueProvider now reports two Vector3s, positive torque (that produced by
control actuation 1,1,1) and negative torque (that produced by -1,-1,-1).
* Added various accessors.
* Node definitions can take an extra digit after size, either 0 or 1: that sets
whether the node can crossfeed. Defaults to 1 (yes). NODE definitions can take
crossfeed = True/False
* ModuleEngines now supports `clampPropReceived = True`. This will clamp the ratio
of propellant requested based on prior results, so if IntakeAir is listed first and
less than the full requirement is returned, it will request only that ratio of
further propellants. In this case the "Prop Req Met" display will show the minimum
requirement-met ratio rather than the average. Engines that use IntakeAir (or other
cases like that) need to have `clampPropReceived = True` in each of their MODULEs
that do that, and need to have that PROPELLANT first and the other PROPELLANTs
later. See stock jet cfgs for examples.
* Added another crew transfer event.
* Added more startup options for KSPAddon
* Allow kerbals to have/save/load arbitrary experience points.
* ResearchAndDevelopment.GetTechnologyTitle(string id) will convert a tech ID to a
tech title and is available as soon as parts start loading (can be used in
GetInfo() ).
* Support max pressure (dynamic + static), `maxPressure`, and max G, `gTolerance`,
for parts.
* Added system to allow mods to add custom difficulty settings.
* Added CelestialBody.hasSurface so mods that add a PQSController to gas giant
don't cause silly things such as "Plant a flag on Jool" contracts.
* Replaced all checks for experience traits (Pilot, Scientist, Engineer) with
individual experience effects. They are now loaded before part loading so can be
queried in GetInfo().
* Icons in TechTree.cfg can now use a relative path (allows mod icons to live
outside the Squad directory).
* Added KSPAssemblyDependencyEqualMajor as an attribute. Use instead of
KSPAssemblyDependency if you want to force requiring the stated major version, not
>= the major version, from your dependency.
* If you are setting a vessel's position and/or changing its orbit, call
Vessel.IgnoreGForces(framecount) on the vessel for the number of frames that g
forces should be ignored (try 1, then 2 if that doesn't work, etc).
* ModuleDeployablePart (covers antennas, solars, radiators) also has a gResistance
(for Gs) as well as windResistance (for Q).
* Crew transfer now derives from a generic abstract PartItemTransfer class. Classes
can derive from it to implement any kind of (crew transfer-style) part-part
transfer. Also we fire an event right before a crew transfer is created so mods can
just kill it and easily create their own CrewTransfer-derived class and have that
be called on that event.
* Extended ModuleScienceContainer to allow sending and, (from
ModuleScienceExperiment) receiving, experiment data. Also added support for a
Collect All option to such containers.
* ModuleColorChanger supports changing arbitrary shader colors and implements
IScalarModule. ModuleAnimationSetter works similarly and is used to more directly
link an animation to being set by IScalarModule.
* PartModules now support upgrades. In a MODULE node, add an UPGRADE node. Inside
that add one node per techID you wish to provide upgrades, in ascending order.
Inside that place keys and nodes you wish to upgrade. e.g. `UPGRADES
{ basicRocketry { maxThrust = 250 } }` will change maxThrust to 250 once
basicRocketry unlocks. Upgrades will never override persistent data. Further, by
default they overwrite each other; to make a node apply on a clean slate (so you
can, say, add two PROPELLANT nodes and not have them conflict due to the overwrite
logic) set `IsExclusiveUpgrade__ = True` in the upgrade's node. That will clear the
upgrade state and apply that upgrade fresh. Upgrades are applied only when you add
a part to a craft in the VAB/SPH, they don't magically apply in flight. When a part
on a craft is upgraded, a new option will appear in the PAW (when in VAB/SPH) where
you can view the current stats of all those modules with upgrades.
* ModuleEngines now supports alternate (RealFuels-style) throttling and rates.
* ModuleEngines now supports throttle-Isp interactions. Turn on with
useThrottleIspCurve = True and set the throttleIspCurve and
throttleIspCurveAtmStrength curves. Final Isp = input Isp * Lerp(1,
throttleIspCurve.Eval(throttle state), throttleIspCurveAtmStrength.Eval(atms of
pressure))
* Support part upgrades, see docs.
* Added events dealing with kerbals going on/off ladders on parts and added a new
vessel field for accessing the vessel of the part of the ladder the kerbal is
climbing (if all of those are valid).
* CelestialBody now has thermo/atmo stats methods so FlightIntegrator's temperature
calcs can be called from anywhere / any mod.
* Events that throw an exception now print the full stack trace.
* PartModuleUtil.PrintResourceSI() is now just KSPUtil.PrintSI().
* Add ModuleDragAreaModifier with field areaFactor. Note: this will also affect
buoyancy and thermo.
* Added ModuleHeatEffects and FXModuleThrottleEffects which can take any number of
IScalarModules and are set by skin temp and throttle respectively.
* AvailablePart.entryCost is now get-only and calls a static delegate so they can
be
* FindEngineNearby and FindEngineInterface are now PartModuleList methods instead
of being duplicates in FXModuleAnimateThrottle and ModuleAlternator.
* Many KerbalEVA, Kerbal, and KerbalExpressionSystem methods made virtual, and
kerbal spawning in ProtoCrewMember and EVA spawning in FlightEVA made delegates.
* Added IContractObjectiveModule, which allows mods to specify valid parts for
contract objectives, rather than it being configuration based.
* Waypoint captions on the map are now moddable.
* Added game events for CommNet status changes both for the connection in general
and the connection to KSC.
* Added game event that fires when PQS starts, just before the sphere is started.
* Added game event that fires when PQSCities start.
* Added game event for orbital resource survey completion.
* Added game event for vessel control state changing.
* Orbit now has a constructor that clones another orbit.
* Vessel now has a method to kill all parts in permanent ground contact (eg: launch
clamps).
* Added ModuleGenerator.isGroundFixture for launch clamps.
* The "escape" progress milestone now uses standard World First award methods,
which allows it to be disabled by mods properly.
* Icon_Hidden tag now hides all children of the transform so tagged.
* Add requiresFullControl to events, actions, and UI controls. If false, will work
normally in full and partial control and refuse to work only with no control. If
true, will work only with full control.
* AssemblyLoader ignores abstract classes.
* Support symbols in the font.
* Made Kerbals and EVA kerbals more moddable. EVAs and the flag now have partial
part cfgs which can be modded. All Kerbal and KerbalEVA methods are virtual and the
FSM is opened up. New hooks added.
* Made vessel load/unload/pack/unpack ranges changeable in Physics.cfg.
* Support adding options to the game difficulty screen.
* Vessel now has radarAltitude. Use it for min(altitude, heightFromTerrain)
* add PartModule.OnIconCreate which runs just before the partmodule is stripped
from the icon gameobject when the editor part icon is being created.
* Particle systems can be registered with FloatingOrigin for handling
origin/krakensbane offsetting natively.
* ProtoPartResourceSnapshot no longer relies on strings, and its resourceValues
node is now inaccessible. Instead, directly get / set the
amount/maxAmount/flowState.
* PartModules now come with a resHandler object (of type ModuleResourceHandler) for
handling ModuleResource / RESOURCE nodes, so code need not be duplicated.
* When a landed vessel goes off rails and is detected to be landed on parts, not
the ground, it is offset up slightly, controlled by one static Vessel field
HeightFromPartOffsetGlobal (default 0.5 meters) and one instance field
heightFromPartOffsetLocal (default 0 meters). The vessel is offset upwards the sum
of those two fields.
* Fix OnVesselSwitching always sending a null reference, add
OnVesselSwitchingUnloaded.
* Allow reference to Kerbal's animator cache and renderer cache.
* Add map toggle interface for mods.
* OrbitTargeter opened up, delegate added for creating the on-click context menus
so they can be modded.
* Add delegates so KB apps can be modded.
* Add currency-agnostic CanAfford method.
* Add many more options to ModuleLiftingSurface and for customizing body lift.
* ModuleAnimateGeneric now supports defaultActionGroup.
* ConfigNode now formats float and double values such that no data is lost.
* ConfigNode AddValue/SetValue now support most types.
* Flag decals in IVAs (InternalFlagDecal module)
* Add Crew counts to Vessels

values when the true anomaly is before the hyperbola's periapsis, and should be
more numerically stable.

changes on a specific vessel. Use this to fix a few issues with crew rotation
objectives.
* Added ITargetable.GetActiveTargetable, which allows us to specify if a target
should be allowed on something that is part of the active vessel.
* Added AeroFXIgnore layer so some parts (Gigantor e.g.) can have parts of their
model ignored by AeroFX. Fixes an issue with odd Aero FX streamers.
* Added "EVA" layer, added it to various cameras, physics casts, lights, and
collision matrices to behave exactly like normal parts, except suspension raycasts
ignore it entirely. Prevents violent interactions when kerbals touch wheels.
* Added alwaysRecomputeLift to ModuleControlSurface so it can be set to not ignore
slight actuation.
* Added wheel weight stress and slip stress multipliers to game settings, allowing
players that do not want these stresses to disable them globally.
* Added onCommandSeatInteraction GameEvent, and deployableSeated to science
experiments. Use these to disable scooping up surface samples when seated.
* Added Felipe to crew name generation.
* Satellite contract orbit generation made much more modular and maintainable,
allowing us to validate generated orbits now. If an orbit parameter becomes corrupt
through save manipulation or other means, that parameter can be regenerated without
affecting the rest of the orbit.
* Clarify R&D facility upgrade text to make it clear that Kerbin is still fair game
for surface samples without the astronaut complex upgrades.

unpaused when closing them.
* Renamed Telus ladder to Kelus Ladder to avoid naming conflicts.
* Improvements to flag rendering in KB.
* Improvements in Tutorial input locks and Error checking
* Adjustments to the Repair/Downgrade costs of the Facilities

=================================== v1.1.2
============================================================

* Fixed an issue with triggers and convexity in loading models.


* Fixed exception in the Stage Only mode of Vessel Resources panel.
* Fixed for LT-1 and LT-2 landing legs causing a physics jerk when retracting.
* Fixed an issue where some vessels might explode on go to pad (introduced in
1.1.1).
* Fixed an issue with PQS shader accessibility.
* Optimized moment of inertia calculations and some matrix operations.
* Fixed an issue with an offset in the small landing gear part.

* Fixed an issue where Kerbals on EVA rescue contracts weren't fully destroyed if
the contract was not done. Added a check to clear any 'empty' EVA'd Kerbal vessels
in existing saves.
* Fixed an issue where Kerbals were able to be renamed through KB.

=================================== v1.1.1
============================================================

UI:
* Added FlightUI Element Scaling and Navball Position Slider.

Wheels:
* Added auto-struts to every wheel, similar to fairing payload struts. They attach
to the most massive part on the vessel. This prevents wheel suspensions from
becoming unstable when the wheel is attached to a weaker part. (Attaching legs to
pylons no longer causes vessels to bounce and/or break dance.)
* Fix suspension distance and offset being inversely proportional to the
rescaleFactor of a wheel. Fixes LT-1 and LT-2 leg suspensions actually getting
smaller despite scale being larger, causing them to visually sink into the ground,
and have shorter useful suspensions.
* Some configuration tweaks suggested by GoSlash27 for the free and fixed landing
gears have been integrated, which dramatically improve issues with instability on
those gears. Thank you GoSlash27!
* Fixed some model hierarchy issues with small and medium retractable landing
gears, which fixes some odd suspension forces, an animation issue, and the
inability to lock the suspension on these gears.
* Raise the default integration substeps on wheels from 4 to 8, which should
dramatically improve the accuracy of the wheel simulation without affecting
performance too much.
* Added separate settings for wheel integrator substep accuracy for active and
inactive vessels, which can be tweaked in each wheel's part configuration, or
globally from settings.cfg. Inactive vessels get slightly less accuracy to improve
performance.
* "No crash damage" cheat now prevents wheels from blowing up their parts due to
gratuitously large impacts. It does not, however, prevent the wheel from entering
the damaged state.

at the cost of reduced contract rewards. Useful to boost self-driven playstyles.

Progress Tracking:
* Added new World First contract types for space walking, crew transfers, and
flight on atmospheric planets.
* There is also now a fourth record "track" for oceanic depth.
* Many progress nodes now track progress in separate manned and unmanned tracks.
This allows several contracts to appear at more relevant times.
* Base and Station, plant flag, kerbal recoveries (rescues), crewed surveys,
tourism, and some World Firsts contracts now require manned progress.
* Satellite contracts now require unmanned progress.
* The algorithm to choose planets for all contracts is now more reliable. Max CB
"distance" has been reduced to two. This means you will no longer see contracts for
Duna and Eve right after taking off from Kerbin.

Science and Comms:


* Science Transmission messages now show strategy changes to science, funds, and
reputation.
* All antennae now cut a transmission that has been interrupted due to power loss
to prevent severely devaluing the resulting science.
* Added an option to antenna context menus to manually enable partial
transmissions.
* Interrupted transmissions no longer delete science data. The data will attempt to
return to the container it came from.
* Transmission from orbital surveyors and science labs was tweaked slightly to look
and behave more like standard science transmissions.

NavBall:
* The navball is now available on EVA to assist in surveys.
* The EVA NavBall follows the orientation of the camera, rather than that of the
Kerbal. This allows looking around to get your bearings.
* The navball throttle and RCS lights are hooked up to the EVA jetpack.
* The IVA navball now functions with survey navigation.
* Survey navigation icon will now automatically target the next/closest adjacent
waypoint in a survey upon completion of a targeted waypoint

Thermodynamics:
* Introduced the concept of 'Core Heat'. Allowing part systems to work much more
expressively with temperatures, reducing unwanted cross-talk between temp effects
on internal logic and heat transfer to other parts.
* Radiators should have a significant impact on core heat, allowing ISRU modules to
operate at peak efficiency.
* Incredibly hot cores should bleed off some of their heat to the parent part, with
the vessel very slowly getting warmer over time.
* Parts should not explode from core overheating, but ISRU modules may shut down.
* Thermal efficiency should be consistent across all warp levels - no cheating!
* The mini-ISRU is balanced in that it cannot operate indefinitely. It will
eventually shut down due to overheat and have to be allowed a cool-off period.
* The RTG is also part of this mechanic, making it a viable heater (Kerbals have
the added advantage of not requiring any potatoes for unplanned long-duration stays
on desolate planets).
* Fixed thermodynamics issues from 1.0.4 regarding unclamped conduction, shielded
conduction, and other runaway cases.
* Reworked upper atmospheres of planets for better aerocapture experience. Added
convection and shockwave temperature multipliers per body.
* EVA kerbals handled properly.
* Lowered max internal temperatures of crewed parts.
* Heating from engine exhaust rebalanced.
* Thermo at high warp is now no longer instantaneous, and is moddable via new
interfaces.
* Unloaded vessels will have thermo applied for the unloaded time on reload.

Buoyancy and Water:


* Displacement is now calculated per part using dragcube information to estimate
total actual volume of the part.
* Bodies now have an ocean density: Kerbin/Laythe is 1 tonne/m^3, Eve is 1.5.
* The lowest and highest points of parts are calculated with respect to the water,
and a submerged fraction of volume is calculated to modify buoyancy force.
* Impact speed (tested against crashTolerance) depends on impact angle, with a
configurable minimum multiplier.
* Drag in water uses drag cubes and an accurate dynamic pressure calculation.
* Drag scales from high on first vessel contact down to a lower value after a few
seconds.
* Drag also ramps back up when the vessel is below a minimum velocity (to model the
highly turbulent flow when starting from a stop, and to make sure vessels do come
to a stop).
* Lift behaves similarly, starting near zero for the madly turbulent flow of
initial contact or first movement, up to a reasonable value.
* Various hollow parts have their displacement tuned to account for hollowness.
* Solar panels lose flow rate underwater, rocket engines lose Isp.
* Added underwater fog and tint, fixed camera issues underwater.

Physics:
* PhysicsGlobals now properly create the default values when Physics.cfg is
removed. It includes many new values.
* Drag coefficient changes based on the same factors as turbulent convection (a
Pseudo-Reynolds number). This means higher drag high up in the atmosphere, and
slightly lower drag when going very fast very low.
* Asteroids have correct drag cubes now.
* Fixed issue with radiator dragcubes being incorrect when the panels rotate.
* Add missing drag cube overrides for hollow parts.
* Kerbal EVA drag cube can now be specified in Physics.cfg.
* Fix issues with override drag cubes and root parts during revert/quickload/vessel
switch.
* Fixed issues with female kerbal ragdoll rigidbodies.
* Fixed a bug in calculating how solar flux diminishes in atmosphere.
* Jettisoned Fairing panels now exist in a new layer (L19) dedicated to non-part
physical objects.
* Contact with L19 objects does not cause vessels to shift into 'landed' state.
* Kerbals are allowed to stand on L19 objects, regardless of their own landed state
(similar to how they behave when on ladders).
* Contact with L19 objects only allows Kerbals to stand and walk while within a
surface-level altitude/speed envelope. (contact with these objects in orbit has the
same effect as bumping into anything else).
* Eve and Jool had upper atmosphere changes to thin the top band. Duna now shares
the molar mass of Eve but has a lower presure than before, leading to the same
density (and drag) at sea level but better physical characteristics.

Misc:
* Fix surface horizontal velocity being incorrectly calculated.
* Launch clamps are now properly kept at the launch pad, they will not follow the
current vessel.
* Fix an issue with localisation and settings.cfg. Fix an issue with
plugging/unplugging controllers breaking/losing settings.
* Save and load kerbal trait in save games, trait is generated from name hash only
if not specified in the save.
* Fix issue with solar day length not being calculated correctly when setting
Kerbin's rotational period.
* Workaround for kerbals becoming debris added, to prevent serious issues.
* Sped up finding a given AvailablePart (especially relevant when populating the
Load Craft menu).
* Sped up craft loading slightly.
* Sped up FlightIntegrator and in particular the Occlusion part.
* Fix some bugs in resource requests that would lower throttle or miss resources.
Optimized resource calls.
* Jets now use a fuel mode that draws an equal percentage from all reachable parts
(no-crossfeed parts will block crossfeed).
* Fixed an issue with camera pitch underwater.
* Fixed an issue with error spam from failed raycasts when >600m under water.
* Fix an issue with fast EVAing kerbals leading to NaNs.
* Fix an issue with compound parts and zero look rotation vector logspam, also
slight speedup.
* Optimized several contract/progress parameters to not require any code running in
update-loops (they're event-driven now)
* Fixed orientation of the sun light in IVA
* All older careers will have their contracts upgraded to new versions, maintaining
compatibility.
* Many new career cheats added.
* Contracts.cfg now fully comments itself.

Editor:
* Fix an issue where non-root parts spawned in the editor did not have their
partInfo set correctly.
* Fix an issue where symmetry mode could be increased past its limits.

* Fixed some issues in RCS, made RCS toggleable in the editor and gave it a thrust
percentage slider.

when at high temperatures the generated EC could go negative.
* Solar panels and radiators now use dynamic pressure instead of (linear) velocity
when calculating breakage.
* Fix Solar panels and radiators to support sun tracking drag cube changes even if
no extend/retract animation is specified, add support for an offset angle when
tracking the sun.

currentThrottle, not on the vessel/UI throttle state. Can also modify anim speed
rather than time.
* Added support for layers to ModuleAnimateGeneric, ModuleAnimateHeat, and
FXModuleAnimateThrottle.
* FXModuleAnimateThrottle can now weight its animation based on wether the engine
is active or not (used with multimode engines).
* Allow MultiMode engines to share throttle state when switching and to have
automatic switching be disabled (and the toggle for it not show up).
* Made ModuleAnimateHeat more tunable due to new thermo.
* Docking ports now have gendered as an option, and support limited docking angles.

continues "Look rotation vector is zero" messages when trying to attach in the
editor.
* Lower some out-of-norm crash tolerances for aero parts.
* Ladders now properly have multiple drag cubes (due to their animations).
* Fixed ladder extend/retract failing after a load in the editor.
* Shrouds no longer glow on revert and can be set to only detach when the node
opens, not just when the part is activated by staging.
* Shrouds can be toggled off in the editor.
* Control surfaces deploy state is now properly persistent.
* Offset cargo bay interior nodes so the inside and outside nodes do not precisely
overlap, to aid in part placement.
* Procedural fairings set part mass in the editor as well as in flight, properly
offset CoL, CoP, CoM depending on fairing state, properly reset drag cube after
deploying.
* Fixed issues with intake logic and display airspeed. Intakes can now have mach
curves which can affect their efficiency at different mach numbers.
* IntakeAir is no longer displayed, since it was confusing, instead engines show
whether their current requirements are being met.
* Engine modules support new curves for modify Isp based on air density and current
mach number, so multFlow no longer exists as a toggle.
* Fixed an issue where throttle was not reset to zero on flameout.
* Engine modules now show percentage of their current propellant requirements being
met.
* Fix flow cap not being used in tooltip info.
* Corrected an issue with the 'fuel flow' display.
* ModuleAnimateGeneric events and action can be independently enabled/disabled per
scene.
* Make hatch obstruction check distance tunable per part.
* Allow no-activation-when-shielded to be toggleable in cfg for engines and RCS.
* Fix bandwidth calculation typo for ModuleDataTransmitter.
* Activate gimbals when an engine activates, not only when an engine activates from
staging the part.
* Fix Brake Torque tweakable on wheels to have fuller range, allow adjusting
stiffness in cfg.
* Fix flow cap not being set in jet engine cfgs.
* Intakes and engines can be set in their MODULE config to be disabled when under
water (disableUnderwater).
* Decouplers can have their staging and their crossfeed toggleable.
* Fixed several edge cases where CargoBays would not update the shielded status of
contained parts correctly.
* Connected cargo bays now propagate any state updates to all bays in the connected
space, ensuring all bays refresh when any of them does.

UI:
* Units have been added to various part tooltips and Thermal Data, and the part
tooltip has more and better information shown.
* Thermal Data shows when skin temp shown is the exposed temperature only or the
unified skin temperature.
* Heatshields now show data when Thermal Data is enabled.
* Fixed temperature gauges bug where it was using internal max temperature, not
skin max temperature, despite comparing that against the current skin temperature.
* Made edge highlight separately toggleable from the gauges.
* The settings menu now shows the various settings, and F10 toggles through all
four possible arrangements.
* Flags no longer count as active flights on the Resume Game interface in the Main
Menu.
* Fix issues with FlightLogger's values not accounting for reference shifts.
* If a part on a vessel is targeted, display the vessel label over the part, not
the center of the vessel.
* Fix Center of Thrust marker in the editor (was not properly calculating
direction).
* Fix an issue where loading a save via the Load Save menu would not properly
clear, nor load, AppLauncher messages.
* Fix an issue where an unreadable agent texture would break agent loading (and
contracts generally).
* Made crew transfer available from the part right-click menu.
* Made 'rename vessel' available in flight for a vessel whether or not it is under
command (though a ModuleCommand still must be present for renaming in the flight
scene).
* Fix issues where partname not part title was used.
* Fix vector to target (on navball) to calculate from current control-from-here
transform to target transform, rather than vessel root transform to target
transform.

the editor. This also lowers memory leaks.

Input:
* Double-tapping RMB now enables a mouselook-toggle mode, similar to RMB behaviour
in IVA views.
* Added independent key binding [backslash] for mouselook toggle
* Mouselook mode can be cancelled by double-tapping LMB, MMB, or by tapping RMB or
Esc.
* Mouselook mode will also self-cancel on any scene changes, but persists through
camera mode changes, for uninterrupted panning through multiple view modes.
* Tapping ModKey no longer releases mouselook in IVA.

Graphics:
* AeroFX now tuned better (and more tunable), leading to mach effects down low
without flaming rockets at mid-altitude.

aspect ratio to 16:9)

Modding Support:
* Support having KSPEvents available even when the vessel is not under command
(defaults to false, can be set true for an event).
* Fix an issue with VesselModule / PartModule instantiation order differing for
fresh and loaded vessels.
* Fix an issue where VesselModule order could not be set, they now can override
GetOrder, by which all VesselModules are sorted.
* VesselModules default to order = 999 but FlightIntegrator has order 0 (this will
allow easy setting of some modules to run before FlightIntegrator and some
afterwards, 0 is a good delimeter).
* GameVariables are now aware whether they are called from the rocket (VAB/Pad) or
spaceplane (SPH/runway) side.
* Catch errors during ScenarioModule and Contract loading, preventing breakage when
mods throw exceptions during these times.
* Fix an issue in assembly dependency version checking.

* Add fallback tech tree URL in case the main URL fails to find a valid tech tree.
* PartModules can toggle their part being in the staging list or not.
* Decouplers (and docking ports, but it defaults unstaged) have it on by default.
This is part of the base PartModule so all that is needed to implement is add some
settings to the MODULE.
* Resources now have an isVisible flag, which determines whether the resource is
visible on the right-click menu. Applied it (as false) to IntakeAir.
* KerbalEVA now uses the rotPower member.
* Fix enum parsing in BaseFields (i.e. KSPFields). It should now work.
* Support tagging models with Drag_Hidden (like Icon_Hidden) so they will not be
rendered when rendering drag cubes.
* Added OnFlightUIModeChanged event, fired from FlightUIModeManager. (notifies of
changing between Staging, Docking and Map modes in flight)
* High-warp (analytic) thermo supports three interfaces,
IAnalyticTemperatureModifier, IAnalyticPreview, and IAnalyticOverheatModule for
better customization, and uses new fields in Part for tuning.

=================================== 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 the
Mun tutorial.
* Made part's internal highlighter much more efficient.
* Disabled flashing highlighter in temperature gauges. (fixes memory leak with
temperature overlay)
* Fixed KSPUtil.PrintLatitude/Longitude giving wrong result for small negative
values.
* 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-
dropping of parts in the editors.

Thermal:
* 1.0.3 features a revised thermal mechanic to better balance heating/cooling
between 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 used
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) and
unexposed skin temperatures.
* When not in an atmosphere, only one skin temperature is tracked. the two
temperatures are unified on atmosphere exit.
* Radiative outflux and influx is tracked separately for exposed and unexposed
areas of skin (since the shock temperature is much higher than ambient
temperature).

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 to
match.
* Convection velocity exponent raised to 3.3 to increase reentry heat, as well as
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) and
use density or density^exponent whichever is greater.
* Broke radiation into two parts, you get the regular background temp on your face
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 layman'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
chutes), buffed heat shields for new heat loads. Changed burn/rip numbers for
drogue 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.skinMassPerArea 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 its
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
engines) and tangents fixed.
* Heat shield thermal mass modifier increased to 0.05 to deal with increased
heating. 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
separated between part internal temperature and part skin temperature.
* Fixed some occlusion issues. Occlusion is now over-generous rather than under-
generous.
* 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 starting
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 states,
so a cargo/service bay won't conduct much to parts within it. Since radiation 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
before the chute fully opened.
* Upped non-drogue chutes' stress/thermal limits for deployment (safe speed is now
around 290m/s at sea level rather than 250). Increased the time to fully deploy
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 safe
to deploy etc.
* Halved intakeAir requirements for jets. Slightly raises service ceiling, mainly
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.

Highlights:

Destructible Facilties at KSC:

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 repair
when necessary.

New Explosion Particle and Sound FX:

Strategies screen.
* Added a new music track to play in the background of the Admin Facility, called
"Stratejazz".

Strategies 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. Just
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 Chris
Thuersam (PorkJet), giving stock spaceplane parts a much needed overhaul.

* Obsolete spaceplane parts replaced by new ones when applicable. (Delta wing,
Structural wind, Wing Connector, Mk2 fuselages)

KSC Vessel Markers:

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
detail textures. This means we now have enough texture accuracy to texture small

Celestial 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 in
R&D.

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 to
n-couplers using symmetry (like the RamJet Turbines)
* Added an "Addons&Mods" button to the Main Menu, that will take you to KSP's
official mod site.

deleting a crewed part in a certain way.
* Kerbal recovery reward set to zero for the time being, to stop reputation exploit
from recovery at the launchpad.
* Mk2 Cockpit renamed to Mk1 Inline Cockpit (makes a lot more sense, since it was a
Mk1 type part anyway).
* Fixed several cases of UIs not stopping mouse clicks on objects behind
themselves.
* 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 used.
* Fixed scaling issues with OMS Engine.

========================= 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 resuming
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 game.

Main Features:

* Asteroids:
Kerbin is no longer alone in its orbit. Nearby are countless objects that buzz in
and out of its sphere of influence, some flying by harmlessly, others on impact
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 provide a new
challenge for both new and veteran players. Each asteroid is procedurally
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 the 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. Select
one of the unknown objects spotted near Kerbin, and start tracking it actively to
reveal more information about it. Also mind that untracked objects can be lost 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, even
Kerbals.

* New SLS-inspired Size 3 parts:


We've added a host of new parts, featuring the largest engines and fuel tanks ever
seen in KSP. These new parts were designed based on NASA's upcoming Space Launch
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 ever
added to KSP.
- Advanced Size 3 Single-Nozzle Engine, for when you need immense amounts of
thrust in your upper stages
- New Liquid Fuel Booster: A new way to boost your spacecraft, the LFB is a single
part featuring twin engines, plus a very respectable amount of fuel. What more, you
can even stack more liquid fuel tanks on top of it.
- The Launch Escape System: Modelled after the Apollo LES, this new escape tower
can save your crew should you underestimate the sheer power of your new rockets.

* Completely Overhauled Part Joints:


We have completely re-done the way parts attach to one another, to allow for much
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 rigidly
to other parts, eliminating many cases where spamming struts was required.
- Increased PhysX's global max angular velocity settings to improve joint
stability.
- 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 also
improves joint stability a lot.
- Re-did the Strut Connector joints as well, to use the new joints system instead
of their old ones. This dramatically improved their reliability and significantly
reduced the number of ocurrences where ships spontaneously disassemble themselves
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
betwen Mission Time and Universal Time.
* Targeted vessels now display their trajectories as patched conics instead of
single orbits.
* Maneuver Nodes are now persistent.
* Targeted Objects are now persistent.
* Added buttons to discard/accept maneuvers on the delta-v gauge by the navball.
* Added buttons to add/remove an orbit to the date of a maneuver node, allowing
nodes to be planned for several orbits ahead.
* Maneuver handles can now be fine-tweaked with the mousewheel when hovering over
them.
* RCS and XenonGas containers on earlier stages are now drained before containers
on later stages.
* Celestial Bodies now show a 'Focus View' button on their context menus in Map
View.

Bug Fixes and Tweaks:

* Celestial bodies you have an encounter patch with will display that patch in
local mode when they are focused on the Map View or Tracking Station.
* Switching between Linear and Rotation controls in Docking UI mode no longer
toggles 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 non-
closed orbit.
* Fixed a bug where targeting an object on a hyperbolic orbit wouldn't display
rendezvous information on the map.
* Tweaked the thrust and Isp values of Ion Engines and the two tiny rocket engines.
All were severely underpowered to be of any practical use.
* Quicksaving is now allowed at all times. In unstable situations, an autosave
won't be created at the same time.
* Greatly improved the accuracy of the physics->rails transition, eliminating drift
on nearby vessels when warping during a rendezvous situation, especially high-
velocity ones.
* The Map Filtering buttons now toggle independently on left click, and toggle
single/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 when
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
section of the R&D Facility.

* Tweakables:
- Several parts can now be tweaked individually by right-clicking them during
construction.
- Landing Gear can be set to start out deployed or retracted, and can also be made
steerable.
- Engines can have a thrust limiter set on them, so you can balance out
asymmetrical thruster configurations (or use differential thrust for taxiing).
- Wheels can be tweaked to have their engines toggled, steering locked, all before
launch (and after, of course).
- Control Surfaces can be tweaked to toggle response to pitch, roll and yaw input
individually.

* Science Revisited:
- Transmitting scientific data no longer allows you to max out the value of a
subject 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
removed 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 on
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 other
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
completely redesigned.
- The tooltips show essential info only at first, but can be expanded to show more
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 give
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 tweaks.
- 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 camera
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.
Bug Fixes and Tweaks:

* Parts:
- The logic for all-vessel resource flow (such as Electric Charge and
MonoPropellant) has been re-done.
- Fixed those resource containers not being able to drain fully or store an amount
larger than their current available space.

* Docking:
- Fixed an issue that caused docking ports to resume their states incorrectly after
docking, making it impossible to undock afterwards.
- Fixed a big issue with docking operations through physicsless parts in the
hierarchy between the port and the original vessel root.

* EVAs:
- EVAs now use actual MonoPropellant for their jetpacks, instead of their own fuel.

- Fixed an issue with collision resolution that caused EVAs to sometimes fall over
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
return 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
weren't accessible before.
- Fixed an issue that could lead to loss of GUI responsiveness after leaving flight
during reentry or supersonic flight.

altitude 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).

going through the ground. (all thanks to above fix)

* [API Change] MemoryStream wrappers that were mistakenly not committed for 1.15.1
have been added to the code.

* Packing/Unpacking ships is now done without affecting the ship's scene hierarchy.
Now, vessels take care of keeping their own parts in place while packed, making
for much more stable
physics behavior when going in and out of time warp.

* Improved vessel/part loading from persistence procedure, for more stable and
accurate flight resuming.

* Fixed a bug in the Tracking Station scene, which prevented scrolling the vessel
list.

* The Vessel Switching keys now only cycle between nearby vessels and won't cause
the scene to reload anymore.
To switch to far-away vessels, you must use the map view.

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 x3.

large 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
collision 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 the
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
positioned 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 time,
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
deeply simulated as large ones. This reduces the amount of physics objects and
joints to simulate.
* Reduced the amount of code components attached to each part, making for less
calls 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-mounted)
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 before
launching.
* Liquid Fuel now flows from the "top" attachment node, instead of from the parent
part (unless there is no top node, in which case it flows from the parent part).
* Parts now keep the references to the part attached in each attachment node.
(makes top-node based fuel flow possible)
* Fixed a bug which prevented the ship selection dialogs from receiving double-
click 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 trajectory
is now a constant size regardless of eccentricity, and isn't warped by the splines.
* 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 whenever
it finds new part models. This means the first time you run the game, it might take
longer for loading to complete.

* This update introduces some new features that make ships built on previous
versions incompatible. If a ship fails to load, it's because it isn't compatible
with 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
rates.
* Implemented a new Kepler Equation solver for extremely high eccentricity orbits,
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 jitter
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 the
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 sustained
G forces.
* Fixed the Surface/Orbital Speed reading getting messed up when restarting a
flight.
* Fixed a problem with the Time Warp code, that would sometimes force the time rate
to 2x, but not unpack the ship. It would also cause G forces and other values to be
incorrectly calculated.
* Fixed a problem with unpacking the ship for physics that could cause centers of
mass to be offset, leading to uncontrollable tumbling.
* Fixed a problem that could cause orbits to become reversed when entering/leaving
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.

flight.
* Liquid Engines now support thrust vectoring (gimballing).
* New LV-T45 Vectoring-Enabled Liquid Engine.
* The VAB will now allow you to select a Command Module before starting a new ship.
* Planets and Moons now rotate.
* 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
receive 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
anymore in orbital parameters when going out of warp.
* Made some significant improvements to the physical joints that hold the ship
together. Ships will not wobble anymore when going back into 1x time after warping,
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 selection
dialog)

compression. (it's perfectly stable now)
* Fixed a bug with unpausing the game while under time warp. It could very likely
cause a lot of trouble.

success.
* Changed the Flight Tutorial to include the new features added on this update.

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 available
(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 number
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 on
the ship
* Improved formatting on orbital node display numbers, to make it easier to tell
the difference between 10,000m and 100,000m

* Tuned the terrain system a bit, to improve visual quality at high altitudes.
* Greatly improved the input lock system. Now, components that lock game controls
won't override locks placed by other components.
* Improved the flight camera code. On Chase mode the camera will not spin around at
the poles anymore, and both modes are more stable overall.
* Optimized the terrain system rendering, and got a nice boost in performance
during flight.

==================================== v0.10.1
==================================================

lighter as their fuel was spent.

==================================== v0.10.0x2
================================================

New:

* New (much better) shader for water.
* The R8 Winglet now responds to input, and can be used as an elevator, canard,
aileron, rudder, or any combination.
* It is now possible to crank anti-aliasing up to 8x.
* Joystick Support.

* A working Mac OSX version!

Bug Fixes:

planet is no longer an insta-death trap.
* Fixed the textures stretching near the terminator
* The camera will no longer go through the ground.
* The terrain collision mesh now perfectly matches the visual terrain.
* Fixed a problem with the atmosphere, where it would fade in and out at specific
points in orbit.
* Fixed a few problems with some game settings not being correctly applied on game
start.
* Fixed a problem with the volume settings where explosions would sometimes sound
out even with volume at 0%
* Added a basic compatibility/integrity check on loading ships. If it fails, the
ship won't load but the game won't crash.

* Fixed the MET clock, which would loop back to 00:00:00 when a mission went on for
longer than 24 hours

===================================== v0.8.2
======================================================

This version is a hotfix for a couple of ugly bugs found with the 0.8.1 release.

WARNING:

The 0.8.1 release introduced a few changes to the .craft file format, so it is
possible that ships
created with versions prior to 0.8.1 might not be compatible with the new version.

Bug Fixes:
* Fixed a serious bug where swapping about symmetrical parts would crash the game
* Pod cannot be dropped if an Escape Tower (PunchOut addon) is attached

===================================== v0.8.1
=======================================================
New:
* Added options to use Angle Snapping when placing surface-aligned parts.

* Liquid Engine particle effects responding to engine cutoff
* Icon indicators for all parts that need to show information
* Custom icons for all part types
* VAB placement bug with tricouplers and fuel tanks (and decouplers)
* Reposition the NavBall and main camera focus, so the ship isn't obscured by the

* Pausing the game no longer produces a G-force peak
* SRB mesh normals correction
* Complete rewrite of the flight camera code. No more jitters and a number of new
options in the settings.cfg

* Updated tutorial to reflect the changes made in this update (like the new cameras
in flight).
* Tweaked the Radial Decoupler separation. It can now eject lit SRBs safely away
from the ship and not kill the crew everytime.
