Version 0.19.3 Public Release
For KSP 1.0.2. MechJebRPM built against MechJeb 2.5.
New Variables:
- EXTERNALTEMPERATURE and EXTERNALTEMPERATUREKELVIN report external temperature. Issue #177.
- LATERALBRAKEDISTANCE - estimate of how far the craft will travel if it used maximum thrust to kill horizontal velocity. Issue #162.
- PODTEMPERATUREKELVIN reports the pod hull temperature in Kelvin. PODTEMPERATURE reports the temperature in Celsius (like it did pre-1.0). Issue #177.
- PODMAXTEMPERATURE and PODMAXTEMPERATUREKELVIN report the maximum pod temperature. Issue #196.
- PODNETFLUX reports the flux affecting the pod - positive values mean temperature is increasing, negative values mean temperature is decreasing.
- SUICIDEBURNSTARTSECS - estimates how soon a full-thrust retrograde burn needs to start in order to land. Issue #162.
- SURFSPEEDMACH - reports the surface speed as a Mach number (or zero in a vacuum).
- TARGETGROUNDDISTANCE - the distance between the vessel and the target, as measured on the ground. Issue #162.
New Features:
- HullCam VDS wide-angle camera is now supported. Issue #189.
- New props in the library using stock models.
- A mechanical switch model in the prop library created by Alexustas, available under the terms of CC 3.0 BY-NC-SA, plus some props using them.
- Custom mapped variables, allowing IVA makers to rescale values. Issue #202.
- Looping animation support in JSIVariableAnimator, as well as optional electrical charge consumption. Currently only available for threshold variables. Issue #197.
Fixes:
- VesselView flicker has been resolved. Issue #178.
- Can no longer EVA when the Astronaut Complex is level 1. Issue #183.
- Max Thrust computation is correct when in atmosphere. Issue #186.
- JSITransparentPod problem in the ASET ERS command pod is fixed. Issue #201.
Known Issues:
- The new IVAs introduced in KSP 1.0 do not have RPM patches. Community contributions would be appreciated. Issue #174.
