Fixes/changes

Construction

• Fixed: Center of Thrust, Center of Mass and Center of Pressure markers appear when there's no vessel in the VAB
• Fixed: the player is unable to change symmetry modes while holding the first part of a strut or fuel line. It is now only locked when holding the second part
• Fixed: when Alt-copying a subassembly with wings, the copy has one of the wings flipped upside down
• Fixed: Camera panning orientation does not update when toggling vehicle orientation modes in the VAB
• Fixed: engine shrouds are generated incorrectly when stack attaching a non-root engine above other parts
• Fixed: current anchor point and potential anchor points are not differentiated in the VAB
• Fixed: Fuel bar is sometimes empty when loading a vessel in the VAB
• Fixed: undo removes the held part
• Fixed: VAB, anchor points appear when they should not
• Fixed: Parts Manager shows the pod icon for all categories
• Reduced delay for disappearance of fairing and wing edit buttons when cursor has moved away from procedural part
• Fixed: new workspace not resetting history snapshots for the Undo tool
• Removed duplicate history snapshots for the Undo tool for compound parts
• Fixed: part of the LY-35 Landing Gear shakes uncontrollably when placed in the Vehicle Assembly Building

• Fixed: base size of TOOB-375 adjustable tube causes stacked tubes below to generate the wrong size fairing in the VAB
• Fixed: RF-AD-B 400 doesn't create a copy of the part when node attaching a part

EVA

• Fixed: jetpack cannot be used on previously-EVA'd kerbals when EVAing a new kerbal

Flight & Map

• Added input binding for toggling freecam in flight
• Added NavBall texture color changes based on velocity state
• Improved orbits decaying when vessels are not applying any thrust

• Fixed: airbrakes respond to roll inputs
• Fixed: camera orientation flips 180 degrees after switching to flight from map
• Fixed: Normal SAS orientation maneuver burn at periapsis is inaccurate
• Fixed: Kerbals eject with extra velocity when EVA'd from Grumble Seats while in space flight
• Fixed: dates don't start on year 1 day 1
• Fixed: activate/deactivate action button for engines gets out of sync
• Fixed: alternators produce power when engines are off
• Fixed: animated engine gimbal forces are incorrect after reverting
• Fixed: animated gimbals don't function when offscreen (when in map or offscreen during flight)
• Fixed: AP and PE markers of inactive vehicle in orbit stay on screen after switching focus to a landed vehicle within the Tracking Station
• Fixed: active vessel can be controlled while in the Tracking Station"
• Fixed: camera zooms in and out when scrolling in some flight apps
• Fixed: cargo bay aero shielding sometimes leaves contained parts out of collider checks
• Fixed: errors generated when launching a vessel with a fairing
• Fixed: hibernate In Time Warp doesn't work properly for probes
• Fixed: Mouse look does not stay active when pressing Tab in flight
• Fixed: probe cores stop consuming electricity after being decoupled
• Fixed: RCS blocks don't work in fine control mode
• Fixed: RCS thrusters remain on when switching away from a vessel
• Fixed: SAS and throttle sometimes reset when decoupling stages
• Fixed: SAS mode buttons don't always register clicks
• Fixed: Timewarp overshoots when crossing SOI boundary, causing orbit to change

FX and Audio

• Adjusted timing of voiceover when reaching a maneuver in the burn timer
• Fixed: audio stopping under some circumstances
• Fixed: sounds based on time of day don't play correctly at KSC
• Fixed: vessel audio is not heard when throttling or staging the vessel while in map mode

Localization

• Integrated: Localized strings for save gameplay menu

Modding

• Fixed: LoadByLabel not properly respecting assets in addressables in mod asset bundles. Labelled addressables should load properly now

Optimization

• Added LODs to some KSC buildings
• Added LODs to spotlight shadows at KSC
• Cleaned up code and UI to improve performance of some windows
• Improved performance when hovering over items in the parts picker UI
• Improved UI performance when adding or removing stages in the VAB
• Improved VAB framerate by optimizing part bounds calculations
• Massively improved speed of PAM deployment/closure
• Optimized code in the sonic boom system preventing unnecessary calls
• Optimized terrain shader by removing expensive and infrequently-used features
• Optimized undo and redo actions in the VAB to reduce update delays

Parts and Stock Vessels

• Adjusted colliders for all landing gear parts so they are more accurately selectable/highlightable
• Fixed: LY-60 landing gear sometimes flips when extended
• Fixed: Rovemax M1 twitches back and forth at the suspension when off the ground in Flight.
• Increased fairing maximum length for AE-FF000, AE-FF125, AE-FF250, AE-FF375 and AE-FF500 parts
• Updated drag cube for the "HS-I Deluxe Inflatable Heat Shield" so that it properly changes when deployed and retracted
• Updated the side count of the RF-AD-L 800 fuel tank to better match like-sized parts
• Updated the side count of the RS-AD 800 fuel tank to better match like-sized parts

Saving and Loading

• Fixed: error generated and failure to load when attempting to load a game with a crash-landed vessel
• Fixed: error spam while loading a game with a vessel orbiting Kerbol

Tutorials

• Fixed: First Time User Experience confuses map view for tracking station view
• Fixed: the player loses keyboard and camera control when pausing and resuming a tutorial mission while in map mode in the Training Center
• Fixed: training center shows artifacts in the background when transitioning from VAB
• Fixed: tutorial "Deorbiting" does not detect a crash event correctly

UI/UX

• Fixed: Flight UI flickers when using an AMD GPU
• Adjusted interactable area on scrollbars
• Improved how loading tips are displayed to show more of them
• Updated fairing editor icons to improve legibility
• Fixed a HUD issue that occurred when scaled to 50%.
• Fixed: holding click and dragging some buttons can cause the wrong visual state to display
• Fixed: Only one celestial body name can be pinned at a time in the Tracking Station
• Fixed: part description does not expand when pressing Shift in the part picker
• Fixed: save window in the VAB can be dragged horizontally
• Fixed: Tracking Station Load screen remains visible when transitioning from Training Center to Tracking Station
