An additional option, for disabling wind within 50-m of the ground, is provided for players who find landing/takeoff in the presence of wind too challenging. As an alternative, a constant wind profile can be selected and tweaked to the player's preferred direction and speed. By default, wind data will be provided by MPAS. Under wind settings, KWP includes options for the source of wind data. This is useful if using other mods that influence these models. Users can select whether KWP will affect KSP's aerodynamic or thermodynamic models under weather settings. In contrast, point weather data will allow weather to change in time and height, at selected launch sites. The MPAS climatology ensures weather conditions will vary spatially and diurnally. Under weather settings, the default data source can be selected as either climatology or point weather data. On the settings page, KWP parameters and defaults can be adjusted. The hourly climatology allows players to experience diurnal and spatial variations in atmospheric conditions Alternatively, weather time series, extracted at select launch sites, allow players to experience dynamic weather conditions. Results from this simulation were incorporated into the game via KWP. The Coriolis parameter was multiplied by 4.Ī climatology of Kerbin was developed by averaging the results of the five-year MPAS simulation, by the hour.The day length was set to 6 hours (21600 s).The solar constant was set to 1360 W/m 2.In addition to land surface modifications, several changes to MPAS were made to enable more realistic simulations of Kerbin's atmosphere. In MPAS, terrain and biome data from KSP were used to classify land use, vegetation type, green fraction, etc. Fortunately, Kerbin’s atmosphere has the same chemical composition as Earth’s. MPAS was run for six-years (1st year: spin-up) at a resolution of 2 x 2 decimal degrees. Kerbin weather and climate analyses were produced using the Model for Prediction Across Scale (MPAS Skamarock et al., 2012). Note that since FAR overrides KSP's thermodynamic system, pressure and temperature data from KWP will not affect flight dynamics when FAR is installed. KWP is compatible with the aerodynamics overhaul: Ferram Aerospace Research ( FAR). KWP can still be used with these mods as KWP's override of the stock thermodynamic system can be disabled in the settings menu. That said, KWP may conflict with mods like real heat or deadly reentry that modify the stock game's aerodynamic or thermodynamic system. KWP has been tested, without issue, in a KSP 1.10 playthrough with 220 other popular KSP mods. KWP works with stock KSP and should work with the vast majority of KSP mods. This repository provides a wide array of balloons capable of lifting both sensors and Kerbals! Compatability If you'd like to emulate the collection of real-world weather data you can also select KerBalloons in CKAN. Using CKAN select Kerbal Weather Project and click install! CKAN should automatically install the two dependencies of the mod: ToolbarController and ModularFlightIntegrator. Unzip the repository and copy the KerbalWeatherProject folder to your KSP home directory (i.e.Download and install ModularFlightIntegrator.Download and install Toolbar Controller.Atmospheric Autopilot - makes takeoff/landing during windy conditions easier.
