 +
==Changes==
 +
===Unity5===
 +
* KSP now runs on Unity5, a massive upgrade from Unity4.
 +
 
 +
===New UI===
 +
* The game UI has been completely rebuilt from the ground up on Unity's new native UI system.
 +
* All UI components and graphics have been improved or reworked to look and feel as they did before.
 +
* Removed expensive render-texture driven rendering scheme from before, expect performance increases everywhere.
 +
* The map view splines have been significantly overhauled, massively increasing performance on map view.
 +
* Map View orbit splines now fade gradually towards the trailing side to indicate orbit direction.
 +
* Completely revised MapView icons implementation for a much cleaner and faster solution that is much more expandable and robust.
 +
* Added search field in Editors.
 +
* Crew Portraits in flight scroll smoothly, allow tweaking how many are displayed at once, show extra crewmember info on hovering.
 +
* Part Temperature gauges reworked and given new graphics.
 +
* Fixed IVA atmosphere gauges to match the UI gauge.
 +
* Fix altitude tumbler saturation when under physical warp.
 +
* Fix negative funds/science, display bugs with strategies affecting costs.
 +
* Action group cluster buttons (gear, lights, sas, rcs) disable with loss of control source (probe without EC, empty pod, etc).
 +
* Landing gear button detects state of landing gear/legs during rollout (no gear or all gear up, and the light will be off).
 +
* The tooltip on the EVA button is now much more verbose if there is a problem.
 +
* Fix some bugs with building unlock abilities text.
 +
* Fix craft thumbnail saving for special characters.
 +
* Astronaut complex and editor action group part names now display the title, rather than the internal part ID.
 +
* All ModuleResource entries now print the same way, offer additional flexibility there for printing (non-default units, SI prefixes).
 +
* Auto-warp (eg, warp to point in orbit and warp to next morning) can be canceled via the GUI (warp triangles or next morning button).
 +
* Date/time formatting is now in a replaceable interface and can be customized by mods.
 +
* True anomaly is now always in radians.
 +
* Tweakables get locked along with Events.
 +
* Update community link in main menu to point directly to new forum.
 +
* Sped up cheat menu delays, and made them autohide cheat menus if held down twice as long.
 +
* Filter debug menu cheats by game mode.
 +
* Part highlighting now respects F2 (hide UI).
 +
 
 +
===Graphics===
 +
* Enhanced ocean water surface shader in Kerbin, Eve and Laythe, greatly reduces visible tiling, and looks much more watery.
 +
* Most parts have been upgraded to use Unity5's new PBR lighting model for more subtle, nuanced lighting.
 +
* Editor interior lighting was redone for all interior scenes, using Unity's new lightmapping engine.
 +
* Improved underwater FX tinting/fogging system.
 +
* Moved underwater tinting into the atmosphere shader.
 +
* Improved atmospheric halo/corona at low altitude thanks to blackrack/SkyToneMapper.
 +
 
 +
===IVA===
 +
* Added Interior Overlay View mode, draws the interior spaces of a vessel on top of the normal external view.
 +
* All IVA spaces revised and improved to look good in IVA Overlay mode.
 +
* Masking geometry added to IVA spaces so they aren't visible from nonsensible angles or show backface geometry.
 +
* Fixed incorrect sun light direction in IVA space.
 +
* Added new IVA model for the Mk2 inline cockpit.
 +
 
 +
===Wheels===
 +

 +
* Bespoke wheels physics, largely replaces PhysX's stock vehicle physics model.
 +
* Greatly improved tire friction model and general handling.
 +
* Wheel damage module/model which does not require damage meshes to work. All wheels (including landing gear) can now be damaged from overstress.
 +
* Steering model features true Ackermann steering.
 +
* Steering model is much smarter in relation to wheel placement on the vessel, requiring much less tinkering to line up steering on multiple wheels.
 +
* Wheel Motor module drains resources in proportion to torque output, as opposed to the old fixed EC drain when driving.
 +
* Wheel Motor module features automatic, tweakable, overrideable traction control.
 +
* Wheel friction is also tweakable.
 +
* Suspensions are smart and self-adaptive, tuning themselves to always be smooth and springy independently of vessel mass and weight distribution.
 +
* New Extra-Large 6-wheeled landing gear.
 +
* Fix Unity bug that prevents us from ignoring collisions between wheel colliders and parts on the same vessel by disabling wheels that are within a certain range of other parts on a vessel. Where this sphere is and how large it is are configurable in the settings file.
 +
* Add clipping/blocking indicator to wheels.
 +
* Added ability to toggle wheel suspension.
 +
* Balanced spring, damper, and damage ratios for all gears, wheels, and legs.
 +
* Use suspension displacement for true wheel load, rather than contact depth.
 +
* Differentiate impact and deflection stress in wheel damage modules.
 +
* Re-exported all wheels with proper collision layers that ignore their own housing colliders, and other wheels.
 +
* Destroy wheels when not in use, recreate when necessary.
 +
* Clip tips of landing legs when wheel colliders exist, to prevent them from hitting before the collider and blowing up the part.
 +
* Added identifier to wheels, now that legs, gears, and wheels are all the same module.
 +
* Fixed Unity 5 upgrade making our landing legs tiny.
 +
* Reset wheel caliper when steering goes inoperative.
 +
* Fix ground detection issues with wheels.
 +
* Doubled bogey range of landing leg feat, to get them to properly line up with the ground.
 +
* Added game event when wheels are repaired.
 +

Released 4/19/2016
Steam Steam Community
← 1.0.5 1.1.1 →
⇐ 1.01.2 ⇒

Version 1.1, named Turbo Charged, is a major update released on April 19, 2016.

Changes

Unity5

  • KSP now runs on Unity5, a massive upgrade from Unity4.

New UI

  • The game UI has been completely rebuilt from the ground up on Unity's new native UI system.
  • All UI components and graphics have been improved or reworked to look and feel as they did before.
  • Removed expensive render-texture driven rendering scheme from before, expect performance increases everywhere.
  • The map view splines have been significantly overhauled, massively increasing performance on map view.
  • Map View orbit splines now fade gradually towards the trailing side to indicate orbit direction.
  • Completely revised MapView icons implementation for a much cleaner and faster solution that is much more expandable and robust.
  • Added search field in Editors.
  • Crew Portraits in flight scroll smoothly, allow tweaking how many are displayed at once, show extra crewmember info on hovering.
  • Part Temperature gauges reworked and given new graphics.
  • Fixed IVA atmosphere gauges to match the UI gauge.
  • Fix altitude tumbler saturation when under physical warp.
  • Fix negative funds/science, display bugs with strategies affecting costs.
  • Action group cluster buttons (gear, lights, sas, rcs) disable with loss of control source (probe without EC, empty pod, etc).
  • Landing gear button detects state of landing gear/legs during rollout (no gear or all gear up, and the light will be off).
  • The tooltip on the EVA button is now much more verbose if there is a problem.
  • Fix some bugs with building unlock abilities text.
  • Fix craft thumbnail saving for special characters.
  • Astronaut complex and editor action group part names now display the title, rather than the internal part ID.
  • All ModuleResource entries now print the same way, offer additional flexibility there for printing (non-default units, SI prefixes).
  • Auto-warp (eg, warp to point in orbit and warp to next morning) can be canceled via the GUI (warp triangles or next morning button).
  • Date/time formatting is now in a replaceable interface and can be customized by mods.
  • True anomaly is now always in radians.
  • Tweakables get locked along with Events.
  • Update community link in main menu to point directly to new forum.
  • Sped up cheat menu delays, and made them autohide cheat menus if held down twice as long.
  • Filter debug menu cheats by game mode.
  • Part highlighting now respects F2 (hide UI).

Graphics

  • Enhanced ocean water surface shader in Kerbin, Eve and Laythe, greatly reduces visible tiling, and looks much more watery.
  • Most parts have been upgraded to use Unity5's new PBR lighting model for more subtle, nuanced lighting.
  • Editor interior lighting was redone for all interior scenes, using Unity's new lightmapping engine.
  • Improved underwater FX tinting/fogging system.
  • Moved underwater tinting into the atmosphere shader.
  • Improved atmospheric halo/corona at low altitude thanks to blackrack/SkyToneMapper.

IVA

  • Added Interior Overlay View mode, draws the interior spaces of a vessel on top of the normal external view.
  • All IVA spaces revised and improved to look good in IVA Overlay mode.
  • Masking geometry added to IVA spaces so they aren't visible from nonsensible angles or show backface geometry.
  • Fixed incorrect sun light direction in IVA space.
  • Added new IVA model for the Mk2 inline cockpit.

Wheels

  • Completely overhauled wheels, landing gears and landing legs with a new from-scratch modular implementation.
  • Bespoke wheels physics, largely replaces PhysX's stock vehicle physics model.
  • Greatly improved tire friction model and general handling.
  • Wheel damage module/model which does not require damage meshes to work. All wheels (including landing gear) can now be damaged from overstress.
  • Steering model features true Ackermann steering.
  • Steering model is much smarter in relation to wheel placement on the vessel, requiring much less tinkering to line up steering on multiple wheels.
  • Wheel Motor module drains resources in proportion to torque output, as opposed to the old fixed EC drain when driving.
  • Wheel Motor module features automatic, tweakable, overrideable traction control.
  • Wheel friction is also tweakable.
  • Suspensions are smart and self-adaptive, tuning themselves to always be smooth and springy independently of vessel mass and weight distribution.
  • New Extra-Large 6-wheeled landing gear.
  • Fix Unity bug that prevents us from ignoring collisions between wheel colliders and parts on the same vessel by disabling wheels that are within a certain range of other parts on a vessel. Where this sphere is and how large it is are configurable in the settings file.
  • Add clipping/blocking indicator to wheels.
  • Added ability to toggle wheel suspension.
  • Balanced spring, damper, and damage ratios for all gears, wheels, and legs.
  • Use suspension displacement for true wheel load, rather than contact depth.
  • Differentiate impact and deflection stress in wheel damage modules.
  • Re-exported all wheels with proper collision layers that ignore their own housing colliders, and other wheels.
  • Destroy wheels when not in use, recreate when necessary.
  • Clip tips of landing legs when wheel colliders exist, to prevent them from hitting before the collider and blowing up the part.
  • Added identifier to wheels, now that legs, gears, and wheels are all the same module.
  • Fixed Unity 5 upgrade making our landing legs tiny.
  • Reset wheel caliper when steering goes inoperative.
  • Fix ground detection issues with wheels.
  • Doubled bogey range of landing leg feat, to get them to properly line up with the ground.
  • Added game event when wheels are repaired.
