4.0.0 - 27 October 2018


WARNING: This is a craft and save-breaking update; it is recommended you abort / recover existing SDHI craft before installing this update

Features:

  • All parts, models and textures rebuilt from the ground up for KSP 1.5.x
  • New Launch Abort System uses dual-mode Solid Fuel rocket engines
    • Jettison motors fire during default staging to pull Boost Protective Cover away from Mk1-3 Command Pod
    • Abort motors can be activated by changing engine modes using Abort Action Group
  • Localization support added
    • en-us included by default

Changes / Fixes:

  • Several parts renamed to be more accurate to real-life Orion/SLS spacecraft
  • Updated Boost Protective Cover hatch cover and umbilical slot locations to be compatible with new stock Mk1-3 Command Pod
  • Removed jettison rocket engines from Boost Protective Cover, as Launch Abort System has now dedicated jettison motors
  • Parachute-equipped Clamp-O-Tron docking port now uses its own partial Clamp-O-Tron model and texture
  • Removed parachute-equipped IACBM docking port
    • This is due to the indeterminate status of FusTek Station Parts mod
    • The IACBM docking ring's dimensions also do not aesthetically fit the parts overhaul
  • Service Module now split into two parts
    • The Crew Module Adapter (formerly the Avionics Ring), a decoupler compatible with the SDHI 2.5m Heat Shield
    • The Service Module, a propulsion trunk with an integrated and uprated LF/LOX variant of O-10 "Puff" rocket engine
    • Building the a CSM stack no longer requires the LV-909
  • Removed batteries and fuel cell from Crew Module Adapter
    • Crew Module Adapter is too small to realistically accomodate these features
    • Service Module still includes batteries and fuel cells
  • Removed support for a number of outdated third-party add-ons
