First of all I wanted to thank you for the patience since the previous update. My build pipeline and uploading to Steam has been failing. After a long debugging round with Steam support, we identified the root cause being the ISP blocking parts of the required uploading paths, making it impossible to upload new patches to Steam. This issue is now being handled by Steam directly with the ISP. This patch has therefore been delayed for a while and does not contain issues reported during February and March. I will start to work on those next.
This update will roll out fixes for various Mercury systems, updates to the Mercury manual and fixes to the career nodes.
Note: If you are experiencing issues with this build you can roll back to the previous using the Steam Betas Tab accessible from the Steam client (games properties).
Mercury Updates
The main aspects of this update covers Mercury systems. It fixes some issues related to the Environmental Control Systems heat exchanger logic, and improves the logic of it.
It also adds some features related to the EXCESS CABIN/SUIT H2O warning light logic, and ties it to the improved Heat Exchangers.
The Mercury manual has also been updated (ECS).
Mercury Academy videos
I have created six new videos covering many of the Mercury systems, you can find them all in this playlist on YouTube:
You can use this video together with the Mercury Academy to get a deeper understanding of how the Mercury spacecraft works.
Career Tree
I have improved some of the Career Tree logic and corrected reported issues related to some of the nodes, especially in the Apollo CSM tree.
