Built this plugin to prevent those moments where Jeb looks at you in the little window and thinks "There goes that manuever node, Looks like you didn't press ',' enough Boss"
The Kerbal Alarm Clock is a plugin that allows you to create reminder alarms at future points in time to help you manage your flights and not warp past important times.
Here you will find information about and pictures of the Kerbal Alarm Clock plugin.
It allows you to create time based alarms for a range of scenarios for two reasons - Firstly so that you can halt the timewarp so as not to skip past important gameplay moments, and secondly so you can be managing other ships during long periods of inactivity, and not just waiting or warping with one vessel in play at a time
With it you can create alarms for the following:
Raw Time Alarm | Created for either a specific date/time or a specific period in the future | |
Maneuver Node | Create an alarm based on the next maneuver node on the current ships flight path. This node will be stored and can be restored when you come back to the ship | |
Apoapsis / Periapsis | create an alarm for nearest and furthest part of the orbit from the planet | |
Ascending Node / Descending Node | Ascending/Descending Node for the targeted object, or equatorial Ascending/Descending Node | |
Closest Approach | Create an alarm based on the closest Approach of this Vessel to the targetted Vessel. Select how many orbits into the future to look for the closest approach | |
Target Distance | Create an alarm based on distance to a target vessel or altitude from the orbited (or next patch) planet | |
Launch Rendezvous | Alarm that can be set to fire as your landed craft passes under the orbit of your target | |
Sphere of Influence | Create an alarm manually based on when the next SOI point is on the flight path, or set the alarm clock to continually monitor the active flight path and add alarms as it detects SOI changes | |
Planetary Transfer | Create an alarm based on Interplanetary Transfer Phase Angles – ie. When should I launch to planet X – Based on Kosmo Not’s post and used in Olex’s Calculator | |
Earth Time | Create an alarm based on the time in the "Earth" alternative Universe (aka the Real World) | |
Contracts | Create an alarm based on the Expiry or deadline of contracts in career modes |
Each alarm contains some basic info - and can have more advanced info when useful including
On top of these attributes in each alarm here are some other useful features:
