Обновление v0.24.7 «Breaking Silence» уже вышло!

Я наконец-то выпустил обновление Rocket Science v0.24.7 «Breaking Silence»! Поскольку оно довольно объемное, я решил снова сделать 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.

В течение следующих нескольких недель я буду не только исправлять запощенные и еще не обнаруженные игроками ошибки, но и работать над новыми деталями, включая парашют, который я обещал в одном из предыдущих обновлений (наконец-то!).

На этом все, спасибо за вашу поддержку и приятных полетов!

v0.24.7 “Breaking Silence” Release Notes

Features:

• added space communications and antenna parts;
• Deep Space Network and default relays as an option on game start;
• implemented instruments system;
• added flight journal, that records all events that happened to the spacecraft during the flight;
• added milestones system, which replace simple contracts like reach orbit, land etc and group it by planet;
• added fuel / resource flow priority system;
• added part panels and instrument data rate requirement for probe cores;
• added rotation tracking module and solar panels that can track the Sun;
• added active cooling systems (cryo cooling, liquid will be added soon after);
• reworked navball: moved instrument buttons there and added more indicators that show additional information about spacecraft status;
• implemented radial to linear velocity conversion on decouple or undock;
• electricity overhaul: implemented better production / consumption routines, added total production / consumption information to resources;
• added basic game API and extension mods support;
• added methane fuel and engines that consume it.

New rocket parts:

• command pod 2;
• probe core 5, 6
• decoupler 9
• structure 12;
• antenna 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7;
• cryocooler 0
• radiator 2
• thermal separator 0, 1
• instrument 0, 1;
• solar panel 5, 6;
• engine 12.

New content:

• new “Communications 101” tutorial.

Part changes:

• Payload Enclosed Cap GO-5 added dynamic attachments to the bottom of part;
• complete rework of command pod 1;
• rework of decoupler 3 and 5, so they are now smaller.

Changes:

• conductive heat transfer now uses not average heat transfer coef but harmonic mean;
• thermal conductivity can now be configured separately for part skin;
• you can manually cut the parachute;
• parachute min pressure is now set in kilopascals and not in atmospheres;
• most of the contracts were converted to milestones;
• active stage TWR is now shown under the dV on action groups UI;
• spacecraft will maintain its auto correction rotation on very high time warp;
• reaction wheel power consumption no longer overconsume electricity on high time warp;
• battaries produce heat on recharge;
• wheels with motors produce heat when driving;
• docking ports can now transfer hydrazine;
• hydrazine is consumed evenly from tanks now;
• added “show target markers” button to UI;
• all ambient sounds now respect audio settings;
• date time format and input values now depends on system culture, but not on selected locale;
• all tooltips have consistent positioning relative to hovered item and size now;
• reworked font sizes and text clipping in control center and rocket lists;
• you can close control center map UI using ESC now;
• updated all physical constants using latest CDATA values;
• probe cores are now far more aerodynamically stable and will less likely to flip on atmosphere re-entry;
• part window module order is now stable;
• internally reworked part tooltip system, more data is shown in tooltips because of that;
• you can’t see instrument and part panel values during the flight if you have no stored electricity or electricity production available;
• spacecraft now saves selected command module between game sessions;
• added some missing localization strings;
• you can deselect spacecraft in the spacecraft list by clicking on the list panel itself;
• [Assembly] improved part initial placement behaviour yet again;
• camera zoom now supports continuous controls.
• module panels and assembly configs now show units when applicable;
• HeatProductionSystem now operates on per part basis to support heat dissipation using coolers.

Settings:

• [Audio] added master and ambient volume sliders;
• [Game] added culture selector;
• [Game] added map camera zoom sensitivity;
• [Quality] added FPS limiter toggle and slider;
• [Quality] SSGI is temporary disabled because it is broken in current Unity version (a lot of ghosting artefacts).

Fixes:

• burn vector is incorrect for every maneuver on the orbit with eccentricity higher than 0.2.
• you can reset riteg decay by docking recently launched spacecraft and then undocking from other port;
• game stuck when decouple and switching to decoupled spacecraft and then quick load.
• sometimes values in part panels roll back after change with no reason;
• electricity consumption and production is changing proportionally to the number of installed batteries;
• celestial filter doesn’t affect body tooltips;
• mach VFX is swapped with re-entry VFX when rocket part changes physics state and vice-versa;
• reentry and mach VFX not changing when part change shape in some cases;
• decoupler 4 looks wrong after separation.
• quick load is not working when trying to load in the space center and not a single spacecraft was selected;
• target orbit changes color when you set it as target and then unset;
• decouplers that split lead to NaN temperature after deploy;
• exception when dragging one fuel tank over two connected ones;
• some strings are not localizable on Chinese, because of font size;
• wheels produce electricity, when driving backwards;
• [Assembly] part config incorrectly sets values from the previous part when adding a new one;
• [Assembly] fuel level values are wrong when inspecting fuel tank with bigger capacity followed by the smaller one.
• some parts of Navball are changing brightness depending on camera exposure;
• you can’t expand autocomplete dropdown manually, by pressing on the arrow;
• location name overflows when rocket or spacecraft have a very long name;
• parachute always fail to deploy when`another spacecraft is nearby;
• sometimes spacecraft is not interacting with separated parts after decouple;
• conductive heat transfer is slower, than expected;
• time panel stops updating when time was reversed backwards (for example, for tutorial).
• outline not including parts that have more than one submesh;
• landing strut 0 stuck on decoupler in some rocket configurations.

Known issues:

• abnormal mesh bouns spam in the console, when you are flying very far from Earth and have an established link.
