Description

The Kerbnet map of a landed Probodobodyne RoveMat core becomes increasingly small and difficult to read, even at minimum FoV values, the higher above sea level the terrain you're landed on is due to the zoom out feature of KerbNet (which grants wider views of a planet from higher orbits or flight, but also seems to affect the zoom of landed craft).

I think this should be under UI (or Kerbnet? Not sure if that's a category), not balance. Anyways, this really made for some interesting navigation with my Mun rover (and less so for my Duna rover).

Happens on Linux too btw.

Can see what that is here. The probe can only see to the "horizon" due to the curvature of the body, but the minimum FoV value should probably be smaller. You can adjust tis yourself in the parts.cf file by changing the line that says EnhancedMinimumFoV to be say 160 and it will let you zoom in a bunch more without affecting the visibiilty.

Will add this to the backlog

#4 Updated by TriggerAu over 8 years ago

You may want to do this for both probeRoverBody.cfg and the orbitalscanner.cfg

This was fixed in KSP 1.2.1.
