Bug Fixes

Flight & Map

• Fixed: Shielded docking ports cannot be undocked after a reload
• Fixed: Shielded docking ports can dock when closed
• Fixed: Orbital drift compensation did not take axial tilt into account consistently, leading to additional drift near Celestial Bodies with axial tilt
• Fixed: Orbital drift compensation decreases in quality over time
• Fixed: Vessel collision with water often only destroys the first part
• Fixed: Heat shield automated fairings cause aerodynamic occlusion to parts near them
• Fixed: Decouplers require two clicks to stage
• Fixed: Vessel becomes active and the scene is switched automatically to flight view of the vessel
• Fixed: Jet engines cannot be deactivated until throttled down to zero
• Fixed: LT-5 "Bandioot" landing legs collapse to minimum length when any weight is applied
• Fixed: Surface teleport tool doesn't work in non-English languages
• Fixed: Surface teleport tool shows incorrect maximum altitude values for some celestial bodies
• Fixed: Vessel and KSC icons on the map are too large, particularly when closer to the camera
• Added new color theme to both A and B Intersect nodes on the Map
• Adjusted colors and iconography associated with Intersect Nodes on the Map
• Fixed: Switching to Mission Control when paused in flight hangs the game
• Fixed: Flight Report does not appear when crashing a vessel if the previously launched vessel had been recovered
• Added a delay before showing the Flight Report after a vessel crashes
• Fixed: Velocity readout in the Flight HUD only shows 4 significant figures

Optimizations

• Fixed: Several memory leaks when launching or loading vessels

Saving & Loading

• Fixed: Burn Timer window does not show staging events after loading a save with an active maneuver
• Fixed: Vessels lose functionality if loading a save that was made outside of flight mode in certain situations
• Fixed: Reverting to VAB with multiple vessels on the runway causes one of them to become unusable

Parts & Stock Vessels

• Reduced atmospheric shock heating in the upper 45% of most atmospheres significantly
• Increased heat transport away from parts in the top 20% of most atmospheres
• Increased stack decoupler and separator thermal masses by up to 3x
• Increased unshielded docking port thermal masses by 1.5x, increased temperature tolerance to 800K
• Increased thermal mass of light procedural wings, stabilizers and control surfaces by 1.5x
• Increased thermal mass of medium procedural wings, stabilizers and control surfaces by 1.75x, increased temperature tolerance to 1350K
• Increased thermal mass of spaceplane procedural wings, stabilizers and control surfaces by 1.2x
• Fixed: Solar panels occlusion is not calculated correctly near and past Jool
• Improved: RSCM-01 "Sample Grabber" arm incorrectly deploys in many situations
• Fixed: Surface attached lights don't function when first launching a vessel
• Fixed: Crater Crusher stock vessel has its solar panels incorrectly oriented

Construction

• Fixed: Game crashes when moving an assembly in the VAB with a nose cone as the anchor part and any non-single symmetry mode
• Fixed: Stack Separators placed below a vessel root part do not separate correctly causing destruction of the vessel
• Fixed: Clicking on the Orthographic Cube while holding a part or vessel deletes it while in the VAB
• Fixed: An exception is thrown when changing the Launch Assembly in the VAB, affecting the functionality of the Delta-V tools
• Fixed: Loading a vessel in VAB shows magenta cubes for a few seconds

Environments

• Fixed: Black dots show on Jool when observing the planet from the surface
• Fixed: Galaxy skybox does not rotate in some situations
• Fixed: Stars are too dim when orbiting some celestial bodies
• Fixed: Lighting on vessels orbiting Kerbol at a semi-major axis of >=23,000,000,000 flickers

EVA

• Fixed: Running a surface survey when planting a flag results in the Kerbal becoming uncontrollable
• Fixed: Running a Crew Observation from the PAM on an EVA Kerbal does not show any animation
• Added new Kerbal Variety assets from the Exploration release to KSC Kerbals
• Fixed: Kerbal Rocket Pin haircut does not receive correct hair colors

FX & Audio

• Adjusted reentry VFX trigger points to more closely correlate with start of reentry heating
• Fixed: Heat shields do not show heat glow during reentry
• Fixed: Procedural wings do not show heat glow during reentry

Missions & Tutorials

• Fixed: Numerous errors in mission text
• Added a waypoint to guide the player as part of the "Tertiary Dibs: Platinum" mission.
• Fixed: An orange arrow/marker persists on the map during the tutorial "Establishing an Orbit"
• Fixed: Mission debrief text is repeated in "Minmus Monument" mission

Localization

• Fixed: Missing localization of some terms in the Mission control screen
• Fixed: Missing spaces in some languages in several sections of the Part Info window in the VAB
• Fixed: Incorrect localization for Research Reports collected around Dres
• Fixed: Incorrect localization for Research Reports collected around Jool

Menus & Settings

• Fixed: Using the Teleport tool with the maximum AP selected teleports the vessel slightly outside the target Celestial Body
• Fixed: Cheats menu can become locked into a box on the screen and cannot be moved outside its boundaries
• Fixed: Time Warp controls are still available when exiting to the Main Menu from within a gameplay session
• Fixed: Part poses for some main menu animations are incorrect

Science

• Changed the behavior of experiments that take time: they will no longer pause when leaving a valid research location and will instead enter a suspended state until you return to the original region, where they will restart without player input
• Fixed: Experiment crew requirements depend on the vessel's crew intead of the part's crew
• Fixed: Orbital Surveys do not work in Low or High Kerbol orbit
• Fixed: Science action button flashes for already-completed experiments
• Fixed: Using the Transmit All button in the Research Inventory re-transmits already completed experiments
• Fixed: Mission notifications appear in Sandbox mode
