SDHI Service Module System v4.0.0
4.0.0 - 27 October 2018
WARNING: This is a craft and save-breaking update; it is recommended you abort / recover existing SDHI craft before installing this update
Features:
- All parts, models and textures rebuilt from the ground up for KSP 1.5.x
- New Launch Abort System uses dual-mode Solid Fuel rocket engines
- Jettison motors fire during default staging to pull Boost Protective Cover away from Mk1-3 Command Pod
- Abort motors can be activated by changing engine modes using Abort Action Group
- Localization support added
- en-us included by default
Changes / Fixes:
- Several parts renamed to be more accurate to real-life Orion/SLS spacecraft
- Updated Boost Protective Cover hatch cover and umbilical slot locations to be compatible with new stock Mk1-3 Command Pod
- Removed jettison rocket engines from Boost Protective Cover, as Launch Abort System has now dedicated jettison motors
- Parachute-equipped Clamp-O-Tron docking port now uses its own partial Clamp-O-Tron model and texture
- Removed parachute-equipped IACBM docking port
- This is due to the indeterminate status of FusTek Station Parts mod
- The IACBM docking ring's dimensions also do not aesthetically fit the parts overhaul
- Service Module now split into two parts
- The Crew Module Adapter (formerly the Avionics Ring), a decoupler compatible with the SDHI 2.5m Heat Shield
- The Service Module, a propulsion trunk with an integrated and uprated LF/LOX variant of O-10 "Puff" rocket engine
- Building the a CSM stack no longer requires the LV-909
- Removed batteries and fuel cell from Crew Module Adapter
- Crew Module Adapter is too small to realistically accomodate these features
- Service Module still includes batteries and fuel cells
- Removed support for a number of outdated third-party add-ons
SDHI Service Module System v3.2.4
3.2.4 - 18 June 2017
Changes / Fixes:
- Compatibility Patch for KSP 1.3
- Updated various MM patches to use FOR instead of FINAL
- Added MM patch to hide parachute-equipped IACBM docking port from VAB/SPH editor parts list if FusTek Station Parts is not installed
- Existing vessels that use the part are not affected
- FusTek Station Parts development builds also now include a special MM patch with a FOR keyword to automatically re-enable the SDHI IACBM
- (Pseudo-)Compatibility Patch for Ven's Stock Parts Revamp
- If Ven's Stock Parts Revamp is installed, the parachute-equipped SDHI Clamp-o-Tron docking port will revert to using the stock Clamp-o-Tron model rather than the revamped model
- Removed Ship Manifest plugin from list of Supported Third-Party Addons
- Ship Manifest is still compatible with SDHI SMS, but is not neccessary for Connected Living Spaces-restricted crew transfers
Bugs/Known Issues
- PEBKAC support does not make use of LES pitch control motor RCS thrusters to actively point pod retrograde during abort
- Kurld is working on adding this feature to the plugin in a future update
SDHI Service Module System v3.2.3

WARNING: This is a craft and save-breaking update; it is recommended you abort / recover existing SDHI craft before installing this update
Changes / Fixes:
- Compatibility Patch for KSP 1.2.2
- Fixed USI Life Support MM patch to use NEEDS instead of FOR
- Added PEBKAC Industries: Launch Escape System compatibility
- This automates Launch Escape System (LES) and Pod Boost Protective Cover deployment/jettison
- Boost Protective Cover will automatically jettison when pod is pointed retrograde
- Changed LES engines to use ModuleEnginesFX in order for compatibility with PEBKAC support
- Added custom exhaust plume and smoke effects to LES main engines
Bugs/Known Issues
- PEBKAC support does not make use of LES pitch control motor RCS thrusters to actively point pod retrograde during abort
- Kurld is working on adding this feature to the plugin in a future update
