How about we preempt them by sending little octarine men to ~~Kaliningrad~~ ~~Kønigsberg~~ Královec Region.

I read somewhere that they're mostly hanging out around federal buildings.

Same language, also poetic, but far from beautiful: Rævsnerk. I'll leave the translation and interpretation as an exercise to the reader.

Hint: Hot and humid day.

No. But I do get excited about frying pans and cheese graters.

I might as well give a serious answer in regards to funding, as told by Rocketwerkz' Ceo Dean Hall a while back:

At the moment, KSA development is primarily funded through sales of the other titles by Rocketwerkz. This primarily means Icarus, as that's their best selling game.

In the future, the hope is that KSA will be funded via contributions instead, but they are not accepting contributions in advance - Too many people were burned by KSP2, and as such Dean Hall has been firm on not taking any money before people see what they're paying for.

And just for the record: I am not affiliated with Rocketwerkz in any way. I'm just a dork who hangs out in their discord, really wanting this project to succeed.

I added a simple spherical drag model to our humble CSM. Here we are falling through Blackracks beautiful clouds at terminal velocity.

Lazypasting what I wrote earlier when someone else asked something similar:

I get an error when I try to embed something, no matter the type or size. I do not know if the issue is because of the client (Voyager), or the instance. Nowadays I usually just upload it somewhere and link to it instead.

I've used catbox.moe for a long time. It does the job well enough for most cases.

I recently decided to roll my own due to various reasons, so if catbox doesn't do what you need and you're interested in testing mine, give me a DM and I can set you up with login details. It's a work in progress, but it works.

Camera modes demo (dreifir.com)
submitted 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

From Gravhoek on Discord:

Here are all the camera modes that are currently in the game. Each of them has their use, some more niche than others!

For those of you on mobile, the camera mode names can be a bit hard to see, but they are as follows, in order of appearance:

  • Parent
  • Stars
  • Chase
  • Surface
  • Orbit
  • (switched to map view, which seems to be a

+ Added the ability for vehicles to collide with and rest on planetary surfaces. This is a very simple version to start which treats the vehicle as an analytic sphere and only collides directly in the radial direction. It also does not take the surface normal into account at the moment.
+ Added a symplectic Euler integrator which we use to resolve collision along with a scheme of sequential impulses.
* Major rework to vehicle state and update logic. We can now choose multiple different update methods within a single frame - for example, taking a Kepler step to the edge of the atmosphere, integrating with velocity Verlet to the surface, and resolving and impact with symplectic Euler.
* Added a minimum target framerate to prevent the FPS "death spiral" when there is too much work to get done in a single frame, so the target frame time increases exponentially each time. We will now scale back the time compression rate to try and fit within a reasonable frame rate.
+ Added a new Simulation tab to the game settings for various physics parameters.
* Adjusted celestial creation to be a full preorder traversal, meaning each celestial is fully baked before its children are instantiated.
* Lowered the minimum camera altitude to 0.5 meters.
+ Added some float3 extension methods and renamed DoubleVectorEx to Double3Ex.
+ Added a physics debug window.
* Changed the patched conics parent impact detector to use a direct calculation rather than a bisect search.
* Fixed attitude snapping using the wrong coordinate frame rates.
+ Fixed debug thruster arrows being drawn in the wrong location.
+ Added LC-39A to Earth landmarks.

From Dean Hall on Discord:

You can see the SDF font gauge is working great and there is almost no aliasing whether the gauge is large or small. Might be hard to wrap your head around, but in drawing these gauges no mesh or texture* is involved at all. (technically, a texture is used for the SDF font but not in a traditional texture sense). This has a lot of benefits I covered earlier. You can see animated mechanical rollers for representing numbers in this demonstration as well. These gauges are generated entirely from runtime "mod data" meaning the way we make them is the same way modders do. The shader itself is able to access a global shader binding that is very efficient when it comes to transfering data. Individual shaders/gauges don't need special bindings for data, they have access to all the data. Allowing gauges of incredible complexity, for only the per-pixel cost of the shader itself.

From Dean Hall on Discord:

This shows the early progress on multiwindow rendering, showing me "undock" the settings menu seamlessly. When the settings window is dragged outside of the main viewport, a new application window gets created. This has tremendous use for many situations, especially so when rendering different cameras such as when doing interplanetary transfers. Hopefully this video gives a good indication to people the power of this functionality.

From Dean Hall on discord:

A lot of progress has been made improving a lot of our rendering process for many things, and terrain is one of them. This video shows off progress that has been made, with a great demostration of the seamlessness we now have with spherical billboarding. It is important to remember this video is taken live, realtime, from within the simulation at realistic scales (although the height of lunar features is exagerated for testing).
