Beta version 0.7.0.2 is now available

Version 0.7 includes a big upgrade to rocket engine customizability, major improvements for building airplanes, and a whole lot more. This is the third round of beta testing. Hopefully the last. Most of the high-level, boss bugs have been vanquished.

Features


  • Added new nozzle called the 'Echo' that is available for the solid rocket engine type (inspired by the Space Shuttle SRBs).


  • Added shock diamonds that show up when exhaust is over-expanded


Tweaks


  • Reduced Isp of (most) rocket engines.
  • Changed near clip plane to 1 meter in flight scene.
  • Changed command pod's "Dock Reorients Controls" option to "Auto Config Controls"
  • The command pod's "Auto Config Controls" option now defaults to true.
  • Added the RcnThrottle property to the ReactionControlNozzleScript (this one's for you [user]pedro16797[/user])
  • Tweaked starting camera angle in the designer to an angle that works well for both rockets and airplanes.
  • Improved smoke trail drag behavior.

  • Updated stock crafts and crafts in challenges to use new rocket engines.
  • Added tooltips to performance analysis window

Bugs


  • Darken smoke trails at night.

  • Fixed issue which caused a craft's throttle to be reset to zero when switching between crafts.
  • Re-open the performance analysis window in the same place it was closed instead of always resetting back to the original location.

  • Fixed a bug with the designer tutorial where the fuel tank placement hints were incorrectly positioned.
  • Fixed a bug that made it very difficult to dock.
  • Fixed a bug where the smoke trail would get thicker when in slow motion.
  • Changed how efficiency is applied to engine performance so that exhaust velocity jives with Isp.
