I wonder if you can view RPMs from outside of the cockpit. And I wonder if the external vessel cameras can see through cutaways. HMMM

Gonna build a camera feedback tunnel.

Danny would be proud.
Be sure to take screenshots!

Well that's interesting. When you turn on an external display then leave IVA mode, the cutaway button stops working. IF you turn on cutaways, then jump in and turn on external cameras and jump out, it displays a default texture on the screens.

There's other bugginess too, I don't think this was intended.

Cutaways never, as far as I can tell, appear on external displays.

Holy shit, they thought of everything...

Aaaand 1.1.1 is out while I still cannot land on the mun

Patchnotes

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

=================================== v1.1.1 ============================================================
UI:
* Added FlightUI Element Scaling and Navball Position Slider.
Wheels:
* Added auto-struts to every wheel, similar to fairing payload struts. They attach to the most massive part on the vessel. This prevents wheel suspensions from becoming unstable when the wheel is attached to a weaker part. (Attaching legs to pylons no longer causes vessels to bounce and/or break dance.)
* Fix suspension distance and offset being inversely proportional to the rescaleFactor of a wheel. Fixes LT-1 and LT-2 leg suspensions actually getting smaller despite scale being larger, causing them to visually sink into the ground, and have shorter useful suspensions.
* Some configuration tweaks suggested by GoSlash27 for the free and fixed landing gears have been integrated, which dramatically improve issues with instability on those gears. Thank you GoSlash27!
* Fixed some model hierarchy issues with small and medium retractable landing gears, which fixes some odd suspension forces, an animation issue, and the inability to lock the suspension on these gears.
* Raise the default integration substeps on wheels from 4 to 8, which should dramatically improve the accuracy of the wheel simulation without affecting performance too much.
* Added separate settings for wheel integrator substep accuracy for active and inactive vessels, which can be tweaked in each wheel's part configuration, or globally from settings.cfg. Inactive vessels get slightly less accuracy to improve performance.
* "No crash damage" cheat now prevents wheels from blowing up their parts due to gratuitously large impacts. It does not, however, prevent the wheel from entering the damaged state.
* Halved the deflection magnitude of free and fixed gears, as they are technically much more rigid than other gears, but their lack of suspension travel makes them much more vulnerable to deflection stress, making them twice as tough.
Editor:
* Performed significant optimisation of performance intensive areas such as part attaching and dettaching.
* Implemented general optimisation throughout editor.
* Implemented automatic temporary symmetry when the logic expects the symmetry mode or method to be different. I.e when placing engines on tri-couplers in SPH using mirror mode. Fixes part initialization issues.
Bug Fixes and Tweaks:
* Made Kerbal Portrait and ScreenMessage lists public.
* Show complete cost (base cost + module cost) in part tooltips in editor.
* Add optional PQS shader using all mappings (for modders).
* Tweak skin<->internal conduction, slightly increase internal max temps of Mk1 cockpits.
* No longer spam the log when parsing plugin data.
* Tweak default exhaust heating upwards slightly.
* Change building impact damage to be based on kinetic energy by default, not momentum. Make damage configurable in Physics.cfg. Fixes an issue with building damage and wheels.
* Improve orbit calculation when in 1x warp. Orbit info no longer flickers.
* Show specified rather than calculated sea level temperature when viewing a planet's page in the knowledge base window in map view.
* Add more checks (flameout or port disabled) to RCS's Torque Provider.
* Optimizations to vessel stat-finding and orbital force calculations.
* Add the missing extension method, uncomment the bits that needed it
* Admin facility now with vertical scrolling.
* Adjusted Career Widget Z Pos for higher scaling.
* Restore part delete sound when deleting parts in editor.
* Considerable tweaks to building damage to avoid wheels insta-popping them.
* Renamed the editor filter for Surface Attach to Surface Attach Only to avoid confusion.
* Optimized getGeeForceAtPosition to not recalculate things it shouldn't.
* Increased stability in orbital calculation when off rails.
* Added UI Element scaling for all in-flight UI elements.
* Removed a fix for a 5.1.1 unity bug which had a unefficient complexity.
* Check if the body has an ocean before checking if we're under water!
* Removed text length on input device name.
* Fixed NRE from Underwater Fog.
* Fixed gigantor solar panel showing through the main craft.
* Fixed a bug with science lab science/day display.
* Fixed where the target could be unset in tutorials.
* Fixed latitude not displaying in AeroGUI.
* Fixed an issue where missing directories could break save/load.
* Fixed an exception in Procedural Fairing interstages.
* Fixed inability to timewarp near Jool.
* Fixed some miscellaneous tutorial bugs.
* Fixed an issue with RequestResource on EVA kerbals.
* Fixed an issue with the underwater FX applying even if the body does not have an ocean.
* Fixed issue with decouple action firing jettison in ModuleJettison.
* Fixed lab display rate to count scientist multiplier.
* Fixed memory leak in part highlighter and attach node icon destruction.
* Fixed inability to target things by using map context menu.
* Fixed targeting being improperly locked in map view.
* Fixed typo in science tutorial.
* Fixed an oversight when computing duration/deadline text.
* Fixed for NRE in UIPartActionController
* Fixed colour tint on some parts.
* Fixed multiple docking port joint weakness.
* Fixed KSPedia page corruption from switching scenes.
* Fixed issue with decouple action on jettison.
* Fixed Ap/Pe flickering.
* Fixed an issue where scientist bonus was counted twice in labs.

Orbit display flickering is mentioned as fixed trice so I hope they really mean it this time, so that free return trajectories actually return you for free

[nogoodnames]

I see they haven't fixed the bug where zooming in using the IVA view also causes the external view to zoom in. Oh well, it's a minor problem. I'm glad the UI scaling is fixed at least.

I tried to carry out some test flights on a brand-new sandbox game, with a handful of mods presumably 1.1-ready, and got four crashes in half an hour.

I gotta give the modders more time. Can't live without stuff like Texture Replacer nor Environmental Enhancements. Other mods I'm using are Kerbal Engineer, Joint Reinforcement, Docking Port Alignment Indicator and Raster Prop Monitor. One of those might be causing the crashes instead, but I thought the first two were more likely culprits, for some reason.

I'm using Kerbal Engineer, Kerbal Alarm Clock, and Environmental Enhancements without many issues in 1.1.

That's a hell of a patch, I'm very happy about the rescalable UI, the default Nav ball is insanely big.
I noticed a bug in 1.1 yesterday which isn't listed on that log though.
My first craft had 2 goo cans, attempting to leave both cans interface Windows pinned open during a launch would completely break the right click function for all parts.

[LoSboccacc]

It is known since a while and it's related to parts with simmetry, there's a mod to break simmetry in the editor so you can still have things perfectly placed and work around the issue 

Or: for science mod (+scientist on board) so it autocollects everything

[Greenbane]

Another crash in 1.1.2, again with compatible mods. No crash log generated this time.

I was testing the Aeris 4A. Finishing the airbreathing portion of my ascent, I press the staging key to switch to the aerospike. It fires. "KSP has stopped working".

It really kills my motivation to get backstabbed like that, especially in a game like KSP, with long missions one doesn't want interrupted in the middle. I had barely taken off, but it makes me dread a similar crash an hour into a mission. Yes, there's quicksaves and all, but still, it's pretty damn jarring and immersion-breaking.

nothing new here for people who followed the game from the start.

I don't get it. 

An ex squaddie may or may not have gotten drunk and posted to a disreputable corner of the internet about his impending departure last year?

The hilarity would be that it is implied that he is taking a better paid job as the manager of a PR team somewhere, yet he would be making such a horrible PR blunder?

Apparently this is different drama from https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/4hw5x7/in_regards_to_pdtvs_post_damion_rayne_former_ksp/ ?

I experienced a pretty bad FPS drop with the patch when controlling or in the vicinity of ships any bigger than 50 parts or so. Lowering graphics settings doesnt seem to help at all so its definitely physics related. Its not mods; I had to drop some of them, including FAR.

Scaleable UI is a good idea but if I make the navball the size I want(its in the middle and HUGE and so takes up a lot of space) all text becomes difficult to read. They also moved mods and resources bar from top right to right, opposite of the staging stack, and its now together with the staging stack is taking up horizontal space I would really like to see the game itself in.

I may need to go full screen to be able to fit all the menus and enough of the game itself but that will not help one bit with the FPS issues.
