---------------------------
WARNING: This is a craft and save-breaking update; it is recommended you abort / recover existing SDHI craft before installing this update
Changes / Fixes:
- Compatibility Patch for KSP 1.0.5
- A dedicated Launch Escape System (LES) is now included in the parts pack
- The LES runs on Solid Fuel, and is capable of lifting a Mk 1-2 Pod, heat shield and Pod Boost Protective Cover up to 2.0 km in altitude, making pad aborts viable compared to the stock LES
- The LES also includes built-in RCS thrusters that are powered by its own independent Solid Fuel reserve, allowing mid-abort course corrections
- Added support for tg626's Docking Target mod, which adds a cosmetic docking alignment target mesh to all Clamp-O-Tron docking ports
- Dropped support for HotRockets! plugin
- The plugin is currently not compatible/updated for KSP 1.0.5
- The fairingless LV-909 engine will now only have stock engine FX
- Dropped support for Klockheed Martian Special Parts plugin
- The plugin is no longer being maintained
- The Heat Shield's flotation collar no longer works
- Mk1-2 Pod Aeroshroud jettison motor thrustTransforms relocated to the sides of the shroud
- The thrustTransforms were previously located under the skirt of the shroud itself, which would overheat nearby parts such as the Service Module and Heat Shield
- Shroud texture modified to include jettison motor nozzles and warning label decals
- Mk 1-2 Pod Umbilical Port no longer toggleable outside VAB/SPH editor scene
- This long-standing bug was fixed with the introduction of scene-specific animation toggling in KSP 1.0.5 (courtesy of SQUAD developer NathanKell)
- Rebalanced part costs to be in line with stock parts (courtesy Kerbas-ad-astra)
- Avionics Ring now has higher entry/per part cost, lower mass and adjusted CoM offset
- Service Module now has higher entry/per part cost, lower mass and adjusted CoM offset
- Service Module Adapter now has lower entry/per part cost, lower mass and lower breaking force/torque
- SDHI Heat Shield characteristics updated for KSP 1.0.5's thermal model
- Side fairings and Mk1-2 Pod Aeroshroud colliders reworked using convex rather than concave meshes
- Side fairings now decouple from the Service Module itself rather than the Service Module Adapter
- The Service Module and Avionics Ring now have built-in support for MechJeb and RemoteTech
- The Service Module and Avionics Ring decoupler will wait until the umbilical has fully extended before releasing the Mk1-2 Pod
Bugs/Known Issues
- Part testing contracts are generated in Career Mode
- This not intended behaviour, since the SDHI SMS is intended to be tested as a complete assembled stack rather than in piecemeal
- A future update might include a proper contract for testing the SDHI SMS
