KOS VS KerbalEngineer

For scripting, what is your opinion of KoS? Not gonna lie, I think the idea is great but the implementation is shite. The codebase is in desperate need of a refactor; most of the commits are from 3+ years ago. The documentation is often just wrong, the in game terminal is almost unusable, some of the built-ins like Prograde_Velocity constantly throw errors when you call them, et c. ad nausiem.

Now by default it won't let you. BUT you can get the old behavior back again if you use the @CLOBBERBUILTINS directive, if you really want to let yourself do that. pull request

Evaluation order is intended to be left to right the only exception to this I know of comes from this issue from a few years ago for a case where the anonymous function is evaluating first regardless despite how the equation is written.

Should you choose to write your own addon I would recommend you look at the code of the addons included in kOS or some of the other addons that people have written to get an idea of the required code.

With some engine configurations there is a known KSP issue where it supplies the incorrect torque when kOS asks. One possible fix for this is to multiply the default value of the ROLLTS of the steering manager by 2. I have no clue if this is the case for this craft or not just that this is one thing that might cause the described issue.

Sounds like you might have run into this issue https://github.com/KSP-KOS/KOS/issues/2208

Hi, i saw that in CKAN there is no compatibility for the current version. Checked the github rep (https://github.com/KSP-KOS/KOS) and also no luck. I was wondering if there is any unofficial fork that could work, or even better, if the mod is usable despite been listed as non-compatible. (Like kRPC)

just download the zip here: https://github.com/KSP-KOS/KOS/releases/tag/v1.3.2.0

Kerbal Engineer Redux

Try using kerbal engineer (download page) and tap the 'landing' node, it will show the suïcide burn countdown. When it hits 0 start your landing burn. That makes it so much easier 😎

https://github.com/jrbudda/KerbalEngineer/issues/85 This is the same issue, so I guess at least it's known!

For quality of life: Kerbal Alarm Clock for timing multiple missions or transfer windows, and Kerbal Engineer and/or MechJeb for various design and flight information.

I also recommend installing the mod Kerbal Engineer Redux which will automatically calculate delta v as well as other information and display it for u in the VAB.

As far as mods go I highly recommend Kerbal Engineer Redux which gives you access to more (customizable) data on screen. If you want more recommendations for mods let me know.

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "KER"

To your UI question: I believe this is Kerbal Engineer Redux’s heads up display.

My advice is: download and install KER
