[sumghai]

Regression testing of basic features with mandatory depedencies

Set up a copy of the game with the following installed in GameData:

• SDHI SMS release candidate
• Animated Decouplers plugin v1.3.0 (Starwaster)
• RealChute plugin v1.3.2.7 (stupid_chris)
• Module Manager v2.6.18 (sarbian)
• HyperEdit 1.4.2 (Ezriilc)

Assemble a basic SDHI SMS stack:

• Use stock solar panels and RCS thrusters on the Service Module
• First stage should consist of a Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank and a Rockomax "Mainsail" Liquid Engine

Test results:

• Basic SDHI SMS stack assembly
  • [x] Parts assembled with little to no difficulty
  • [x] Umbilical port retrofit on Mk1-2 Pod can be enabled in VAB/SPH editor scene
  • [x] Staging icons appear and are correct
  • [x] Action Group editor for RealChutes PartModule on docking ports are disabled
• Pad abort test
  • [x] Mk1-2 Pod decouples from SM module after umbilical animation plays out in full
  • [x] LES lifts Mk1-2 Pod away from rocket cleanly to an altitude of at least 1 km
  • [x] LES can be steered using integral SolidFuel RCS thruster
  • [x] Mk1-2 Pod shroud jettisoned at apex of trajectory with no issues
  • [x] Parachute lands Mk1-2 Pod safely at ~6 m/s
• In-flight abort test
  • [x] Rocket reaches altitude of at least 2 km before triggering abort
  • [x] Mk1-2 Pod decouples from SM module after umbilical animation plays out in full
  • [x] LES lifts Mk1-2 Pod away from rocket cleanly
  • [x] LES can be steered using integral SolidFuel RCS thruster
  • [x] Mk1-2 Pod shroud jettisoned at apex of trajectory with no issues
  • [x] Parachute lands Mk1-2 Pod safely at ~6 m/s
• Orbital testing (100 km circular orbit using HyperEdit)
  • [x] Solar Panels and RCS thrusters non-operable while side fairings are intact
  • [x] LES, Mk1-2 Pod shroud and side fairings jettisoned via normal staging with no issues
  • [x] Solar Panels and RCS thrusters operational after side fairings jettison via staging
  • [x] SM adapter decouples from SM with no issues
  • [x] Fairingless LV-909 engine operates with no issues
• Atmospheric re-entry (ballistic trajectory)
  • [x] Mk1-2 Pod decouples from SM module after umbilical animation plays out in full
  • [x] Mk1-2 Pod, parachute-equipped docking port and heat shield survives re-entry with acceptable losses in Abalative Shielding
  • [x] Parachute lands Mk1-2 Pod safely at ~6 m/s

    Regression testing of additional features with supported add-ons

• Deadly Reentry Continued plugin v7.3.1(NathanKell / Starwaster)
  • [x] Mk1-2 Pod, parachute-equipped docking port and heat shield survives re-entry with acceptable losses in Abalative Shielding
  • [x] Other SMS components are destroyed during re-entry
• Ferram Aerospace Research plugin v0.15.5.5 (ferram4)
  • Aerodynamic patches no longer required due to FAR's new voxel-based approach to aerodynamics
• HotRockets! plugin (Nazari1382)
  • Testing no longer possible as plugin has not been updated for KSP 1.0.5
• Klockheed Martian Special Parts plugin v2.2 (dtobi / raidernick)
  • Testing no longer possible due to discontinuation of plugin; inflatable flotation collar for heat shield non-functional until further notice
• TAC Life Support plugin v0.11.2.1 (TaranisElsu)
  • [x] Mk1-2 Pod correctly shows, for a typical crew of three, eight days' worth of Food/Waste Storage and three day's worth of all other consumables/waste storage
  • [x] Addition of SM to Mk1-2 correctly shows, for a typical crew of three, eight days' worth of all consumables/waste storage
• Ship Manifest plugin v 4.4.2.0 and Connected Living Spaces API plugin v1.2.0.1 (Papa_Joe)
  • [x] Crew can be transferred through both docking port variants
