"Cannot extend solarpanel/antenna while stowed"


Recommended Posts

Just landet a probe on Duna and can't transmit science because i can't extend the antenna and solar panels because they are "stowed", but nothing covering the parts. The Probe was protectet by a stock heatshield and an airshell build from Procedural Parts interstage fairing. And a realchutes parachute. What going on there? How can a fix it? :/

Isn't there any possibility to remove this stupid "can't extend/deploy/activate ... while stowed" function? I googled this issue and it seems it cause many problems but i find no useful workaround to remove this. Please help :(

There might be a patch that you can add/create that will disable that mechanic.

Something like:

@PART[partNameHere]
{
    %applyShieldingExtend = false
}

Replace the 'partNameHere' with the name of the part that you want to 'fix'.  Refer to https://github.com/sarbian/ModuleManager/wiki/Module-Manager-Syntax for more general information on module-manager use/patch creation/setup.
