Regression testing of basic features with mandatory dependencies

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

  • SDHI SMS release candidate
  • Animated Decouplers plugin 1.3.3 (Starwaster)
  • RealChute plugin v1.4.1.2 (stupid_chris)
  • Module Manager v2.7.4 (sarbian)
  • MechJeb 2.5.9-dev-653 (sarbian)*

*For easy and consistent tests

Assemble a basic SDHI SMS stack:

  • Use stock solar panels and RCS thrusters on the Service Module
  • Disable the shrouds on the LV-909 "Terrier" Liquid Engine before attaching the adapter
  • First stage should be capable of reaching a 100km equatorial orbit

Test results:

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

Regression testing of additional features with supported add-ons

  • Deadly Reentry Continued plugin v7.? (NathanKell / Starwaster)
    • Testing not possible as DREC has not been updated for KSP 1.2.1 yet
  • TAC Life Support plugin v0.12.6 (TaranisElsu / danfarnsy / JPLRepo)
    • 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
    • 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 v5.1.3.1 and Connected Living Spaces API plugin v1.2.? (Papa_Joe)
    • Testing not possible as CLS has not been updated for KSP 1.2.1 yet

All basic features are good to go.

Not all supported add-ons could be tested due to absence of KSP 1.2.1-compatible versions.
