KSPTOT v1.6.0

Hi everyone!

Great news! Today I'm officially announcing the release of KSP Trajectory Optimization Tool v1.6.0! This is such a huge milestone and I'm glad to have finally made it here. Obviously Launch Vehicle Designer is the biggest news. The last week or so has been chock full of fixing bugs and optimizing code performance and getting those last minute features in that make the new tool usable and hopefully enjoyable.

Change Log:

• NEW TOOL: Launch Vehicle Designer!
  • Launch Vehicle Designer (LVD) is a new analysis tool within KSPTOT. It's purpose is to provide an intuitive way to perform simple-to-complex analysis of launch vehicles and their trajectories. It can model staging, atmospheric forces, variable engine thrust and Isp, a number of steering laws, SoI transitions, and a whole host of other activities that one normally carries out in KSP. Also, because of the general nature of the tool, an analyst could actually use LVD for a full end-to-end mission design, from launch, to in space maneuvers, to landing, to splashdown back at Kerbin.
• Bug Fix: Fixed a bug with Mission Architect's Launch Window Analysis tool.
• New Feature: Mission Architect can now more intelligently look for SoI transitions using the "Num. SoI Search Attempts" function.
• New Feature: Mission Architect supports the Orbit Decay mod. MA can now model semi-analytic orbit decay due to atmospheric drag effects.
