Kerbal Space Program 1.5: “Dressed for Success” is now available!

Hello everyone! Kerbal Space Program 1.5 Dressed for Success has launched and with it we bring new content that brings your game experience forward. We are driven to continue with our never-ending quest of making KSP the best game it can be through continuous support and substantial updates. Kerbal Space Program 1.5: Dressed for Success has something for everyone, as both the base game and the expansion are getting their share of enhancements. With that in mind, a key aspect in this update is the optimization and fresh makeover of various parts, as well as the classic EVA and IVA Space Suit. Additionally, players will find a number of brand new features, as well as good ol’ bug sweeping. Let’s go through some of this update’s highlights:

New Suits

Both the recruit and veteran classic EVA and IVA Space Suits have been given a well-deserved overhaul. We knew that such an iconic element of the game needed to stay true to its identity, so we are keeping its style, while also giving it a sleeker look.

Revamped Parts

Many parts have been given a fresh new look in an effort to have a more cohesive parts catalog. While staying true to the game’s original essence, the geometry and texture maps of these parts were completely redone. Some of these parts also include new texture variants for you to choose at will, and others have a new shader that makes their metallic bits interact better with light.

Improved Burn Time information

We improved the burn time indicator by recalculating based on dV and not acceleration. Additionally, we’ve added a staging indicator that shows which stages contain the dV needed to complete each part of the maneuver. Go to the advanced settings to turn on this exciting new feature.

... Update 1.5 has also a few improvements exclusive to the Making History Expansion:

The Part Count Node

This node makes a comparison between the state of a vessel in two separate moments and by defining the number of parts itself; with it you’ll be able to test whether a vessel has or hasn’t lost parts (destroyed or decoupled) during any point on a mission.

Underwater Fly Through Nodes

With Dressed for Success you’ll be able to place Fly Through Nodes underwater, expanding mission creation possibilities.

And much more!
