Love the RP-1 vids
I love making them.
@MikeAben that's nice to know. It wouldn't be good if you didn't like them.
The double staging issue is likely due to Smart parts doing the staging for you, the game doesn't register it properly so the next time you stage it's just empty.
That makes sense. I do love my Smart Parts. Come to think of it, I think it may also happen when I stage through and action group rather than hitting the spacebar, another thing I often do.
@@MikeAbenhey mike! Yeah you can press space an extra time after using smart parts to stage. Also when using multiple smart parts that use staging. You can make the smart parts also trigger action groups which prevents this issue
@@MikeAben I've run into double staging as well and now that I see this, I realize that I think those moments have always been when I had a staged fairing that I had deployed "prematurely", either by action group or part window! Thanks both Mikes!
Good thinking but I don't think that's it. I play pure vanilla KSP and it still happens to me sometimes.
Where outta nowhere space bar does nothing or makes a sound but doesn't actually go to the next stage.
@@josephmatthews7698 It's not just Smart parts, it's anything that does the action for you without actually staging. In stock that could be action groups or manually running things - for example you have a stage that will activate an engine, if you activate the engine manually by right-clicking on it and clicking the button, the engine fires but the stage is not triggered. Next time you press space it will trigger the stage, but the engine in that stage is already firing because you activated it manually so the staging does nothing and you have to press space again to go to the next stage.
Loved the automation interlude, and liking this series so far!
I really like this series especially with your detailed commentary! Please more. ;-)
More to come!
Another great episode !
As usual , there is so much to unpack here. I didn’t realize there was such a thing as KOS, but this certainly transforms the game.
One of the things I like about these is, though I don’t plan to use this particular RP-1, we’re learning about other tools and these videos at short enough to digest over the course of my morning or afternoon commutes.
25:45 There apparently is a kOS keyword that can check to make sure the next stage is ready to trigger:
wait until stage:ready.
So you could do something like,
stage.
wait until stage:ready.
stage.
30:48 I learned all I know about kOS (including that code snippet just above) from CheersKevin. His videos are an excellent tutorial for how to code in kOS - taking you through an automated launch, orbit, transfer to the Mun, and "hoverslam" on the surface of the Mun. I'm not sure how much of it can port over to the RO mod, but it will give enough of a head start to be able to make any changes necessary on your own.
Cool, thanks. I'll have to look into that. Yeah, CheersKevin is great.
This game is so much cooler with the KOS mod lol. I just made my own v2 rocket and I didn't make it the same. put a fairing around my nose that covered my camera. I found the altitude trigger command and set it for 40 k:P...
I WAS SO happy when I actually got a script to automize the whole process.....
Thank you for your content. and thank you for making me love this game again.
Also the "lettuce dressing" is much cooler. I added stuff everywhere :P Its soo fun to see the game talk back to you. I am definitely Roleplaying more for immersion :P
FUN!!!! Thanks, Mike!!!
I always watch your RP-1 videos, install RP-1, follow your videos through and get a little bit further on my own, and then uninstall it because I'm stuck and don't have any tutorials left to watch from you. The next RP-1 you upload, I want to play it again and repeat the cycle. Great vids btw!
Also, trying to get into coding anyways so kOS is a nice way to get started
Cool.
Thanks. For me it's about 1 hour playing to 5 hours editing. Makes it hard to keep a good pace up.
pound can be either a measurement of mass or force, so lbf means it is being used as a measurement of force in this case
I had no idea Kerbal had a programming mod. I know what programming language I'm using for Advent of Code next year!
I would to see Mike go to laythe
No Laythe. Gotta settle for Europa.
Thankyou for the effort you put into these videos, I picked up RP-1 today and tried to follow along.
Its interesting that you're managing to launch as frequently as you are without failures. I'm thinking they must have tweaked some of the numbers recently in the latest version of RP-1 to make this more real to life? The only way I seem to get these to light reliably is to do it on the ground at the same time as the solid booster and clamp release.
I ended up setting up a script that would detect when the thrust of the solid booster dipped below the max thrust of the aerobee and had it hot-stage so that it worked well with any variation of booster or aerobee. But I was getting an ignition failure penalty of 30-50% from the excessive dynamic pressure of the initial kick from the booster. The script is still useful for the decouple timing but I'm definitely not getting as high now.
Another commenter mentioned that I should fire the Aerobee with the SRB at launch for exactly the reason you stated, but I'm not seeing those failure rates. I'm not sure why. This series starts with RP-1 version 2.8 and later moves to 3.2. All settings are on the defaults.

@@MikeAben I've done some pretty extensive testing over the past few hours, it was really bugging me! Even firing them together gave me a 5-10% ignition chance penalty every 2nd or 3rd launch randomly. I have a slow computer, so my theory is that the inconsistency could be my machine failing to keep up with the physics.
I wanted to see if I could get it as reliable as it could be, and eventually I completely solved it by activating the aerobee with kos earlier than the booster by its spool up time of 0.06s to 0.16s (depending on the variant).
The short story is that It doesn't ignite until after the spool up time. and the booster can still impart a significant enough force within that time to have a negative effect. After adding that small delay, the "Last Restart" chance under "TestFlightDebug" on the aerobee has reported 100% for the past few dozen launches 👍
Cool, is it necessary to use kOS with RP1 or it works in the vanilla version too?
kOS works just as well in vanilla. It isn't an RP-1 thing.
I just have to ask. What mods are you using that your aerobee looks different (in fact everyone has this version of it but i have just simple cone shaped turbine) ?
Also. Finally i see how to use koc. Its window annoying me but i never bothered to use it.
It's just the Express RP-1 install.
@@MikeAben Thanks, i completely missed that as by default express is not shown as compatible with 1.12.5. and just installed mods listed as dependent and recommended.
@@ojgfhuebsrnvn2781 You want to install it with KSP 1.12.3. That's the version used in this game.
Why use kOS when kRPC does the same but with programming languages people actually use
Sorry. Love kOS. You're not going to get me to change.
@@MikeAben ;-;
3:05 lbf is pound-force. A force unit roughly equivalent to 4.45 newtons. It’s the amount of force which is exerted on a mass weighing 1 lb under 1 g.
For reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_(force)
