Set Default to L/D #8

Closed Kerbinator-Fras closed 2 years ago

Kerbinator-Fras commented 3 years ago

When setting default to flight envelope, this mod will crash KSP even with 2-part vessel Now to avoid this I mainly "feed" KWT with a single-part vessel and then when its envelope calculated to 100%, I switch to L/D (at default 100m/s) and then use my ship in fact, for design of extremely-optimized stock vessels, L/D is the most useful, and relatively easier on CPU.

Can you expand a little more on what you're hoping for? Do you mean that the default graph for the flight envelope graph selection should be L/D? The crashes should be fixed in the next release.

Kerbinator-Fras commented 3 years ago

Yes you are exactly right. L/D is the least laggy display, and is very important for optimizations (both velcurve and envelope is far more likely to lag or crash your KSP)

DBooots commented 3 years ago

There's a new pre-release out that will hopefully fix the lag and crashes. I encourage you to try it and let me know your experience(https://github.com/DBooots/KerbalWindTunnel/releases/tag/1.2.5.-1). I've switched to using new .Net functionality to make it much more robust and reliable. And I've added better progress reporting as it calculates. Based on your answer, I think my initial understanding of your request is not quite right: you'd like the AoA-based graphs to be the default?

Closing this issue as the reported crashes have been fixed in 1.3.0.
