Future

We are already moving to make the next RT major release. Issues and feedback are still welcome!

Next Major Release

Dubbed RT v2.x

  • Current features will stay as is (probably with some tweaks) unless we receive different feedback from the community.

  • We are currently gathering the feedback made on the forum and our bug tracker on GitHub to add feature requests to the 2.x branch.

Planned features

  • More code cleanup: more speed, less garbage collection.

  • RT will be built on top of CommNet.

  • RT will be split into multiple packages (with compulsory RT-Core component), so players can choose what they want:

    • RT-Antennas [Antenna pack: models + configs only; No code]
    • RT-FlightComputer [Flight computer only]
    • RT-Delay [Delay feature only]

  • Complete Flight Computer overhaul

    • Complete rework of the attitude control
    • New autopilot (on top of the stock autopilot)
    • Player can build a queue of commands before transmitting to a vessel (see CommandPlanner section below)
    • New trigger conditions (altitude, height, speed, etc) for commands

  • Sub-components are still being discussed (Work in progress!)

    • ModularCommNetManipulator - APIs for third-party mods to add their codes to manipulate CommNet (eg OnNetworkPreUpdate or OnNetWorkPostUpdate)
    • TimedCommandManager - backend module to handle a queue of planned/sent commands
    • CommandPlanner: user interface for command objects
      1. schedule commands for a vessel by selecting from a list of vessel's parts and their actions
      2. build and edit the queue of commands before sending to the vessel (one delay for multiple commands)
      3. replace the existing queue with new queue transmitted
      4. attach an optional trigger condition to each command like extend landing gears only when terrain-altitude=10m
      5. timed and trigger (passive) commands
    • FlightComputer - allow player to instruct a vessel over a working connection (same but enhanced functionality)
      1. allow player to precisely control vessel's attitude in real time by clicking NODE/TARGET/NORMAL buttons etc
      2. strictly closed platform with a public APIs for internal RT calls and third-party mods to prevent an eventual scenario of FC being wired undesirably to everything in RT
      3. contain a queue of commands uploaded to read and execute accordingly (not editable?)
    • DelayManager - calculate information about signal delay between a vessel and KSC or another vessel
    • ModuleRTDeployableAntenna - subclass of KSP's ModuleDeployableAntenna module to add EC cost for active (stock and RT) antennas

  • A new module:

    • RT-Viz [Antenna range visualization, satellite groups, sorting, etc.]
    • An interface for the module's functions is yet to be determined. Add to the RT 4-button bar or as a launcher button?

Warning / Known issues

  • CommNet is disabled by default if RemoteTech is enabled.

    • CommNet can still be enabled alongside RemoteTech in the RT option window but this has not been tested.

  • A word about module fields:

    • There's a known problem with some module (PartModule) fields.

    • Quick problem overview:

      • When in flight if you right click a part it opens a context menu to change some part behaviors (technically fields or events in the part PartModule) for that part. The visual display of the change is also delayed, so players don't get a visual cue of what's happening directly and this might seem strange to have no visual feedback for the action that was requested.

    • Example: sliding a slider on the contextual menu of a part with a big delay will not move the slider although the slide is actually taken care of internally by RT (the sliding action will be visible once the command delay is over).

    • Technical explanation:

      • If RT delay is ON, getting a visual cue on the change is not possible directly as setting the value to be visible in the context menu will actually, set that value (immediately, without delay) thus defeating the purpose of the RT delay feature. Our current implementation takes care if the internal change but can't update the visual elements.

    • Fix: We might be able to make something better, but only after the complete overhaul in RT 2.x branch.

    Workarounds:

    • Sliders: If you want to set a slider value on a part (in Flight), the best you can do is to click on the desired location on the slider rather than sliding it (i.e. clicking in the middle of the slider will set it to 50%: you won't see the change immediately if the delay is big enough, just wait for the delay to expire.). You can still slide the slider, but it will set a massive amount of commands in the flight computer.

    • Cycle buttons (buttons that cycle though at least 3 options): Cycle buttons are delayed properly but the text on the context menu doesn't change. Close the menu and reopen it (after RT command has been executed) to see the change.

#Version 1.8.0 Released October 10, 2016

KSP 1.2 update

General

What's New?

  • Ported the RemoteTech code base to KSP 1.2. [#678]

  • Moved all RT antennas to the new Communication category in VAB / SPH.
  • Added RemoteTech RLA config file. [#469]
  • Antenna info in VAB /SPH indicate "range" or "power" depending on the chosen RangeModel ("range" is technically wrong when in Root model). [#471]

  • Fixed various issues with the connection indicator and various UI scales. [#618 & #668]
  • Kerbals can now transfer themselves even if there's no connection and they are not in a command module (this also bypass any signal delay). [#626]
  • Fixed an issue when a craft with an uncrewed ModuleCommand but with a ModuleSPU was deemed non controllable. [#628]
  • Flight Computer can be switched to "Off" instead of "KillRot" after maneuver execution or abort (configurable through settings file). [#631]
  • Added a new "LeadTime" field (in settings fileà to control how much time attitude control is queued ahead of the maneuver (default 3 minutes like the previous hardocded value). [#631]
  • Command Stations can now control themselves (if properly crewed and with the right SPU module) even if there's no one in a command module. [#633]
  • Fixed various problems with the github readme and the user manual. [#669, #670, #680]
  • Added current vessel name to flight computer (when UI is deployed). [#673]

#Version 1.5.0 Released October 7, 2014

WARNING: this release changes the mod's folder and DLL names from RemoteTech2 to RemoteTech. You must delete the old RemoteTech2 directory before installing this version. We take NO RESPONSIBILITY for any bugs that may happen from having both RemoteTech and RemoteTech2 in your GameData folder.

Features:

  • Compatible with KSP 0.25.
