Some of the larger ones, such as the orbital telescope, would benefit from having stack attach nodes so they can be properly stacked.

Solar panel base on the E300 express panels is not rotating correctly

The omnidirectional antennas are not working for some reason when using the Remote Tech patch.

I checked the coatls RT patch but can't see why it wouldn't work.

Small typo in ca_fom_solar.cfg

Should be -- TechRequired = electrics
and not ------ TechRequired = Electrics

• Add new Tatsujin antenna
• Add new Quetzal Antenna
• Retire current Quetzal Antenna (It will return re-designed with Cassini)
• Setup Science experiment for the meteorite detectors in Quetzal antenna
• BDB support configs for the meteorite experiment

The A100, A200 and A300 antennas seem to me about 10x heavier than they should be. 40, 60 and 75 kg (or less!) would be more reasonable for these. The squad DTS-M1 is 30 kg.

Reported by KineticSloth:
Some parts have a soundfx error? Decouplers? impactTolerance use? Is it deprecated by Squad?

• Check Decoupler soundFX
• Check on impactTolerance use

It also breaks any part modules that follow the ModuleEngines when using Module Manager to patch them.

General Balancing pass on the antenna stats based on stock and RT configs. This should include consideration for the new antenna beings added.

Originally suggested by JSO:

• Move node offset from the decoupler to the Heatshield
• Tweak colliders
• Look into allowing a "hollow" Heatshield mount to attach the parachutes and build the capsule without having the lander be inside

• Tweak normals and specular as needed
• Investigate "black texture" problem with the normals
• Get moar feedback

the problem follows the model, even when transplanting it to a different engine .cfg.

• Vorona short Solar Panels offset
• Collider issue on Vorona Fuel Tank
• TRIXIE animation not working with SCANsat

• Vorona Decoupler improvement
• Vorona SAR not opening (By Discoslelge)

• Fix CarbonFiber Probe material Normal map (Too strong)
• Tweak specular settings (Unity)
• Tweak Foil Normal Map

Balance RCS progression once all parts are in:

• Barquetta rcs
• Tatsujin RCS (Thrust?)
• Small RCS (ISP Boost)
• Medium RCS (ISP boost)
• Fregat RCS (ISP boost)

Looks like some texture paths need to be adjusted...

it looks like swis_mesh.dds is needed by Assets\ca_SWIS.mu and also Assets\Antenna\dish_deploy_S2.mu, but the file is only in the upper folder.

This one was probably supposed to be mat_foil2_N?

Test Firespitter texture switching for the following:

Test New RCS module with old parts, again.

To add support for the Solar Vanes as suggested in the Forums. Price/weight increase to compensate

Possible collider problem on the Fomalhaut lander heatshield. May be overlapping over the lander and causing violent separations.

Why is this

Reported by Bombaatu:

Don't know if this is a known issue or not, but the barometer from this set doesn't like having the science transferred. It's ok if you transmit it immediately, but if you transfer it (say, to the science container), it can get into a stuck state - it doesn't show any experiment data to review, but you cannot take any more readings. So far it's only been the barometer.

Hi

Thanks for the mod.

I tried to build a Landvermesser probe and noticed that the soil scoop (ca_landv_soilScoop) and the survey camera (ca_landv_cam_s1) didn't have PhysicsSignificance = 1 while the other parts of this probe seem to have it. Makes it hard to balance the craft.

ninch in Reddit reported that a lot of bigger parts are physics-less and causing some balance issues.

• Finish textures on Mars/Venus Express Panels
• Add CA-E400MG Tatsujin panels (With Magnetometer Science experiment built-in)
• Add CA-E320/E340 Mars/Venus Express Panels

• Barquetta
• Tatsujin
• Small RCS
• Medium RCS
• New Solar Panels

Test puetzk's SAS fix

I was driving myself crazy trying to find the new Draco core, but finally found why I was failing when I looked at the log (and found that the Juno magnetometer solar panel had the same issue):

Nothing in the config files strike me as being obviously malformed, and unfortunately I don't have any background in KSP part modeling, so this is all I've got.

The oscar tank (and maybe the Toroidal - I haven't done the math) is a noteable exception to the otherwise well balanced squad tanks in that it hold far more than it's size would suggest. It's up to you how you want to proceed here. Compared to the oscar the CL-LT80 looks good. Compared to any other tank it holds twice what it should (put it next to an FLT-100). Sometimes you have to take liberties with very small parts so do what feels right.

The MP tank looks good. Squad MP tank dry masses run in the 1/3 to 1/7 fuel mass range. Yours looks like it fits in.

Rodger on Forums: mass reduction isn't working properly. It seems to be adding the reduced mass to the base mass instead of replacing it. Same with the cost change, adding instead of replacing.
