Обновление v0.22.1 «Foundation» вышло!

Я наконец-то выпустил обновление Rocket Science v0.22.1 «Foundation»! Я решил немного изменить формат описания обновлений и сделал видео, в котором наглядно демонстрируются самые важные изменения. (Если у вас проблемы с Ютубом, то его можно посмотреть на странице игры в Стиме). Как всегда, вы можете найти полный список изменений ниже.

Я хочу затронуть некоторые моменты, которые не попали в видео. Во-первых, на данный момент от введения термодинамики не так много последствий, кроме перегрева при работе двигателей, входе в атмосферу и от солнечной радиации. Таким образом у вас будет возможность прочувствовать термодинамику и рассказать мне, работает ли она корректно во всех случаях и при всех возможных комбинациях деталей (это все невозможно протестировать самостоятельно). Я надеюсь, что к следующему обновлению будут исправлены все ошибки, связанные с термодинамикой, а так же добавлены все недостающие детали термоконтроля. Поскольку я собираюсь вводить диапазоны рабочих температур для некоторых деталей, вам придется уделять еще больше внимания термоконтролю космических аппаратов в будущем.

Во-вторых, ближайшие пару недель я потрачу не только на исправление новых и уже сообщенных игроками ошибок, но и на работу над туториалом по термодинамике, в котором постараюсь объяснить все процессы, происходящие в этой системе. Также я планирую добавить несколько деталей, над которыми не успел поработать в этот раз.

На этом все, спасибо за поддержку и приятных полетов!

v0.22.1 “Foundation” Release Notes

Some spacecrafts may be broken because of these changes.

Features:

• thermodynamics was introduced to the game;
• added re-entry effect;
• extended Earth and Mars atmospheres density, pressure and temperature calculations up to its maximum altitudes supported by models;
• [Flight] total rework of all part windows;
• [Assembly] rocket stages now support undo / redo;
• [Assembly] added an ability to change root part;
• [Assembly] you can change side attachments on already placed part;
• [Assembly] you can configure any module on placed part;
• [Map] you can now pin any tooltip on right mouse click;
• fins are aerodynamic surfaces now that can be used to control the rocket;
• you can disable and hibernate probe cores now to reduce electricity consumption;
• you can disable reaction wheels;
• added new fuel pair: kerosene - lox and engines that support it;
• engine plume was completely reworked;
• all tutorial windows can be dragged now;
• added new thermal part category.

New rocket parts:

• “Razryad-518”, “Zaryad-021”, “Duga-8” liquid fuel engines;
• General-Purpose Heat Source (RTG) and Multihundred-watt RTG;
• Payload Fairing Strait Base GO-5;
• Small Fin;
• Passive Heat Shields for 0.55 m, 1.2 m and 2.5 m
• Passive Radiator Panel and Passive Radiator R-2.

Part changes:

• Basic Fin now have control surfaces
• “Vega-072” engine was made bigger and now requires star socket to attach to;
• tweaked ISP and thrust for “Iskra-758”, “Energia-C8.95” and “Yuzhniy-348” engines to be inline with real analogs;
• Structural Adapter 1.2-Cube and Structural Adapter 1.2-Module were moved from structures category to adapters.

Changes:

• flight part window now opens on right mouse click for consistency with assembly;
• engine system performance was increased by a factor of 5 in some cases;
• engine heat emission is no longer fake;
• reworked “warp to” algorithm, it is now much more precise;
• improved precision at which drag data is baked;
• reaction wheels consume energy evenly (previously small wheels consumed first);
• camera will continue to follow spacecraft if its command module was destroyed;
• [Assembly] you can now open part config by right clicking on part;
• [Assembly] removed angle restrictions from all socket types for attached part rotation;
• [Assembly] you can’t reattach already attached part to another one;
• [Assembly] significantly improved “Reset all stages” algorithm, that composes stages better now;
• all selection and hover outlines now brighter;
• increased electricity capacity up to 2x for all batteries, probe cores and command modules;
• collapsed solar panel partially produce electricity, reduced by amount of area hidden from the Sun;
• solar panels energy production now depends on distance to the Sun.
• added “burnTime” into engines tooltip. This is the amount of time an engine can burn in vacuum continuously without overheating.
• added area and volume parameters to all tooltips;
• all single side attachments were rotated 90 degrees to be consistent with the direction of line attachments;
• some positions of side attachments were swapped to better support changing them on already placed part;
• cleanup a lot of code and assets related to old timeline system;
• build size was reduced by 2 GB.

Fixes:

• when clicking on item on parts panel, click event happens twice;
• reaction wheels consume 2x time more energy than in spec under heavy load;
• Rocket does not reset if you make changes to it and then exit to space center via main menu;
• if you create new rocket, not make any changes to it and then try to exit from editing mode, not saved window is not shown;
• orbit raycast sometimes not working on highly eccentric orbits (again).
• game freezes when entering atmosphere on high time warp;
• sometimes rocket parts suddenly rotate after coupling;
• [Assembly] center markers get wrong positions if you move spacecraft and then attach any part to it;
• [Assembly] part resets its rotation when reattaching from one socket to other;
• navball autocorrection buttons not change state, when autocorrection was changed from command module window;
• Seeker Decoupler can not be clicked during the flight
• exception when changing part config when part is not attached to the rocket;
• sometimes fuel indicator near navball stuck after decoupling;
• rocket with extended landing struts / solar panels has incorrect bounds when loading from save;
• wrong tooltip for reaction wheel status indicator;
• countless bugs tied to old flight window system;
• stage loses selection outline, when stage button was pressed and there are no more stages left;
• all aerodynamic surfaces have wrong position of lift force application point;
• if aero surface had no control surface, it doesn’t change when selecting any other one in part config;
• you can not hover or select engine during the flight if it was placed inside tail block 0 and was smaller that it;
• when spacecraft is in physics simulation, time in spaceport is at 10x speed, not 1x
• infinite exception loop, when you have part selected with symmetry, and then closing spacecraft with changes reset;
• exception related to orbit panel when you first time load flight.
