- Supports multiple IVA mods at once (IVA mods not included).
- Supports RPM and MAS.
- Allows IVA internal switch via B9PartSwitch:
- Allows selecting different IVA on each command module in editor/saves.
- Allows for on-the-fly IVA switching while in flight.
Soon :: CKAN support so you can install Reviva and all the IVA mods you ever wanted.
Currently only stock IVA and some popular IVA mods are covered, the intent is to extended the coverage over time.
- Reviva - note that this does not include any other mods below in the download.
- KSP Forums
- GitHub Latest Release
- Download and extract the Reviva-x.x.x.zip file at the root of your KSP installation.
- SpaceDock - SpaceDock
- CKAN - Available
- Curse - Probably never
- B9PartSwitch
- ModuleManager
- RasterPropMonitor (RPM)
- MOARdV's Avionics System (MAS)

- Many more, see Support Progress and Dependency Summary for the full list as more are supported. Some IVA mods require downloading from GitHub, Dropbox or even Zip files in GitHub issues and must be installed in their suggestion locations for Reviva to work correctly (directory names under GameData are very important).
JonnyOThan is awesome! He's now a co-contributor for Reviva on GitHub, so he has full power and authority to do anything with the mod.
This release is mostly due to his hard work to really make this mod shine.
- Giant refactoring of patches to make it easier to add support for mods and parts
- Fixed bugs regarding RPM variable persistence and action group memos being lost
- Fixed bugs that prevented ProbeControlRoom from working properly with Reviva
- Added Apex and Kermantech options for mk3 cockpit
- Fixed some configuration bugs
Fixes:
- Added support for AirplanePlus Mk1/0 Caged Inline (same as Mk1 Caged Inline).
- Note that the part does not fit exactly and has the wrong interior window structure, but is better than nothing.
Fixes:
- Fix GitHub Issue 9: Thanks to JonnyOThan:
- Clone the partInfo so that changes to the internal config don't affect all instances of the same part.
- Extra fix from Fix GitHub Issue 9, again thanks to JonnyOThan:
- Fix an issue with internals that don't have crew capacity, exposed by FreeIva.
Adds:
- Slightly improved support for BDB 1.11 Release.
- Hermes/Mercury: Added Placeholder (empty) and BDBAlternate (super minimal, non-functional)
- Vinci/Gemini: Added Placeholder (empty) and BDBAlternate (old FASA, non-functional)
- Kane/Apollo: Added Placeholder (empty) and BDBRPM (functional RPM variant of non-functional BDB)
- Sina/LEM: Added Placeholder (empty) and BDB2 (new BDB non-functional IVA), the older BDB remains unchanged for compatibility.
NOTES:
- Previous Reviva 0.7.6, 0.7.5, 0.7.4 will still work fine with BDB 1.11 - though the new non-functional LEM IVA will not be selectable.
- Currently no LEM variants have IVA switching: ie. no engine cover, Taxi, Lab, Shelter. You get the BDB default only.
- Similarly any Mercury, Gemini or Apollo variants (eg. Big Gemini or Apollo 5-Crew) do not have IVA switching, BDB default only.
Adds:
- Support for:
- Starilex Intra-Vehicular Solutions - an excellent retro Mk1 pod. Available for Stock Mk1 and BDB Hermes / Mercury CM. Uses RPM.
- Max-Ksp MAS IVA Pack - excellent retro Mk1-3 and MEM pods. Available for Stock Mk1-3, Making History MEM, BDB Kane / Apollo, Sina / LEM. Uses MAS.
- SABS_IVA: MAS-enabled IVA - partial support (it provides a full set of Stock and Making History pods using MAS) for Mk1, Mk2, Mk1-3, MEM and BDB equivalents. Uses MAS. These are work-in-progress, I may add configs for everything else later.
- Snakeru's Mk2 Pod IVA - excelent retro style Mk2. Available for Stock and BDB Vinci / Gemini. Note that this is a ZIP file in a GitHub issue and is Beta, but to me is the best retro MAS style IVA for the Mk2.
Adds:
- Support for Airplane Plus:
- Warbirds (Bell Heli, Citation, Old Fighter Inline, X1 Supersonic, B29 Bomber)
- Airplane Plus IVA Pack (Bell Heli, Bombardier Jet, Cessna, F-18 Fighter, Huey Heli)
- Airplane Plus IVA Pack
- Airplane Plus F-16
- ASET/RPM for Falcon cockpit
- Needs to be installed in GameData/AirplanePlusFalcon.
Adds:
- Added "Experimental" support for MOARdvPlus BDB Kane (Apollo) CM:
- MOARdV's Avionics System (MAS)
- Only covers the standard 3 crew Kane/Apollo CM.
- Original MOARdVPlus FASA variants still present and unmodified, they're hidden, don't use them as they won't work as well.
- Reviva MM config changed to support BDB 1.10.x naming
- Specialized action group switches work (eg. EVA Light)
- Glass variant also seems to work.
- Interior model does not match exterior so "Interior Overlay" will not look great.
- Will improve when BDB updates the interior.
- Also even more "Experimental", all Mk1-3 IVA interiors also available and seem to be functional, but definitely look even more silly with "Interior Overlay". Will not ever fix this.
Fixes:
- Fix MASFlightComputer support to correctly update config data.
- This was required to get the MOARdVPlus special action groups to work.
- Probably helps make other IVA a little more accurate.
- Updated README.md with more IVAs, and links to completed mods.
Fixes:
- Support QuickIVA when loading strait to IVA (GitHub Issue #6)
- Handle any configuration errors by remaining on same IVA (GitHub Issue #5)
Fixes:
- Undocking two of same craft causing crash (GitHub Issue #3)
- Correctly switch IVA for in-flight craft where multiple similar craft present (GitHub Issue #4)
- Support Missing History KV-1, KV-2, KV-3, MK2 command pod and M.E.M. lander.
- Configurations for Stock, ASET IVA for Making History Pods, and MAS alternatives for Mk2 and M.E.M (the KV pods are meant to be low to medium tech only).
- Support for RasterPropMonitor (RPM) and/or Avionics System (MAS) IVA.
- Covers stock command pods, cockpits, landers and cuppola only.
- Configurations for Stock, RPM, MAS, ASET, DE_IVAExtension, Warbird Cokcpits and Ultimate Shuttle IVA variants.
If you like flying in first-person from the in-vehicle crewed cockpit, either in stock or using RPM and/or MAS, then this mod is for you.
Features:
-
Allow switching of IVA from stock to different alternates (if needed mods are loaded) using B9PartSwitch
- This can be done from the editor, and the settings are saved with the ship design.
- This can also be done live from flight! Use the PAW right-click menu on the command module when not in IVA (yup, not realistic, but this is KSP). This allows for the player to load this mod on existing saves and change IVAs on already flying craft, or to try out different IVA.
- Without Reviva, only the "last" IVA mod for each command module would be available.
-
Links together stock and modded IVA into one place and provides limited patches to ensure they work in 1.12.x.
- Note that this mod doesn't include the IVAs, but provides links for recommended or optional IVA mods, plus patches to allow them to run and be switched dynamically.
-
Very low overhead on in-game CPU/GPU performance: command modules get an extra ModuleIVASwitch, and switch detection only happens when changes are made.
-
Note however that all the Internal modules are loaded into memory, so load times will be a little slower, and memory usage a little higher for each IVA pack you install. Don't go too crazy. The best way is to look at all the different IVA mods for a particular command pod or cockpit, try them out and pick one or two.
-
Note that the first option is usually the non-functional stock or original mod IVA, these typically have less performance impact.
-
-
The different IVA selection does not change the characteristics, mass, cost or other data on the actual command pod: it's all visual for IVA. This means you can change at any time without penalty, by design.

Repository on GitHub
See the GitHub README
You can provide multiple IVAs for your modded crewed command modules: this might allow for an empty (low resource) IVA and a more complex (heavy resource) IVA as an option, or tech level upgrades from lower tech to higher tech (using B9PartSwitch part upgrades).
The only requirement is that there are seperately named INTERNAL definitions for each selection. Module Manager is your friend, see the provided examples in Reviva and follow the pattern.
- If Reviva already has support for the command module mod and provides other IVAs, it is preferable that additional SUBTYPE are added to the standard ModuleIVASwitch provided by Reviva.
- If there's no existing support in Reviva, you should copy the similar part style whole for Reviva itself in your own mod (eg. Stock/mk1Cockpit.cfg).
- You could alternatively clone Reviva and make changes there and push them, or if you're really lazy ask me to do it.
Feel free to ask questions in the forum, I'm not super experienced with KSP modding, but I know game development well enough to be dangerous/helpful.
For Reviva to be enabled there's a mimimum set of required mods (and their dependencies):
- Reviva :: obviously, but this provides a small DLL that remembers the IVA selection and handles switching the IVA dynamically in the editor or in flight.
- B9PartSwitch :: this provides mod authors with a generalized way to describe part switching. This is used by Reviva to switch definitions in Reviva's ModuleIVASwitch: this small DLL does the magic of actually switching the IVA in the editor or in-flight.
- ModuleManager :: this is pretty much always required for modded KSP. Used to provide configuration for Reviva and B9PartSwitch depending on what other modules you install.
- RasterPropMonitor :: most IVA (other than stock) use this to provide the more complex IVA dials and switches. Technically you could install just MAS, though this isn't well tested.
Note that each mod here (and below) may itself have required and optional mods (not listed here), check each mod's link carefully, or I recommend using CKAN. You may have to allow earlier game versions in CKAN to load older IVA mod packs.
If you only install these you'll only see the stock and some basic IVAs with multi-function displays (MFD) provided by RasterPropMonitor, you should probably install the recommended and optional mods to get even more. More IVA do take up memory resources, and slow down loading.
Recommended mods and optional mods that can be installed to provide more complex IVAs for stock and other mods. Reviva also provides the links and possibly patches to ensure they work when installed.
The first recommended mod (MAS) can be installed as well as RPM, it actually upgrades most IVA to use the MAS system, and RPM is a backup. MAS also allows for much more complex IVA and MFDs, some part and IVA mods take advantage of this.
The other recommend mods will provide enough IVA for stock KSP and the Missing History expansion (if installed) for stock or vanilla/lightly modded games.
This table tries to link to all the known functional (ie. for command/flying) IVA mods in existence that can work on KSP 1.12.x - if you know of more let the mod author know.

-
(1) :: You can have RPM or MAS, or in fact both at the same time. MAS includes upgrade scripts that render some existing RPM IVAs at a high quality and performance (in my experience).
-
(2) :: Only copy UltimateShuttleIVA into GameData, ignore the top level USIVA-xxx.cfg files.
-
Provides :: The mod itself provides Reviva support.
Once you have installed all the mods needed, once you've restarted the game, right clicking on supported command modules will show the PAW UI with a group called "IVA Switch".
When in the SPH or VAB editor this will show one or more coloured box images representing each available IVA, plus a "Select IVA" button below that if clicked displays a drop down menu with all the possible IVA options.
When in-flight, only the "Select IVA" menu button is available: you also need to exit any in-IVA view (press C). When changing the IVA you should see the Kerbal portraits temporarily go to noise for a moment. You can then re-enter the IVA view with the same crew present (hopefully, if one gets lost or changes seats, that's the price you pay for such fast in-flight reconstruction).
With only the required mods, it's likely you'll only see a "Stock" selection on stock command modules, which is the vanilla IVA modules. These are always the default when adding a new stock command module, or loading a vessel for the first time after installing the mod (yes, it will revert any existing IVA mods to stock or default setting for that mod).
For Stock and Missing History, it's best to install the "Recommended" mods shown in the above table: these provide three or four different IVA variants (low, medium and high tech, sometimes with an alternative high tech variant of higher quality).
You can save the selection for the ship design in the SPH/VAB editor, in which case each launch will use that IVA selection as the new default.
For already in-flight vessels, you can change the selection (while not in the IVA), and it will be saved along with that ship only, this includes when the ship goes on rails (switching away to another vessel), and when saving the game.
Either respond in the forum or on GitHub. If it's a bug, you should always provide logs with the bug report, otherwise it's even more unlikely that the author will respond or be able to help.
The following table lists the current progression on supporting mods and IVA mods.
Note: DE+MAS is an Reviva specialized combination of DE_IVAExtension where one or two MFDs
are replaced by the superb MAS_ALCOR_MFD2 which simulates a near future avionics upgrade.

The main BDB command pods and LEM have most of the equivalent Stock IVAs added, they may or may not look quite right, but means there are plenty to choose from. Additionally the Apollo/Kane CM have both of the very excellent MAS MOARdVPlus IVA.

- (1) :: Mk1 Inline WarbirdsSI variant display "INITIALIZATION ERROR", but seems benign. Will eventually try to fix.
- (2) :: Mk3 Ultimate Retro variant CRT do not seem to work. Will eventually try to fix.
- (3) :: IVA is work-in-progress or incomplete.
- (4) :: Some switches on right hand side obscured by cockpit walls.
- (5) :: This MAS Mk2 / Gemini pod for Stock and BDB can be downloaded from Mk2.20190329.zip stored in MOARdV/AvionicsSystems#264
- (6) :: Installing ASET/RPM for Falcon Cockpit will overwrite AirplanePlus itself, which is not recommended. Reviva only supports a manual install into "GameData/AirplanePlusFalcon", see the falcon.cfg.
- (7) :: Only download and install the Max-Ksp-MAS-IVA-Pack-N.N.zip, the Hud/No-Hud variants are provided by Reviva itself.
This is a very subjective decision for best IVA for both "realism" (probably nowhere near reality, but realistic for the era the IVA would first appear) and "functionality" (the most functional, probably high tech) IVA. All the IVA are great, but these represent my usual choice for those scenarios. Feel free to try to change my mind!

If you want to build the DLL and packages, just be aware that the provided source assume use of Unix make and mono.
I personally work on Ubuntu 20.04 (running on WSL2 in Windows 10). You will need to install mono-complete and know how to use make and Unix. If not, it's likely you could generate a Visual Studio project and fill in some sensible details.
The Makefile "build" target will build the DLL.
The "install" target will copy the DLL and GameData to the KSP directory specified in the Makefile, you should modify that (the default Steam install on WSL2 on Windows is commented out).
Happy to recieve pull requests on GitHub for improvements, more IVA support, etc.
