    A quick tip - How you can make an interstage fairing

    in KSP2 Tutorials

    Posted · Edited by samamstar
    Forgot to add images

    It's an open secret at this point that KSP2 is having a rocky launch to say the least. One problem that many of you have likely noticed is the lack of inter-stage fairing support, at least not as strong as in KSP1. But fret not! I have found a way to accomplish this that is (mostly) free from jank and wobbling nodes

    The secret lies in 1 part: the engine mount. This humble beast, despite his total lack of configuration options or multi-engine connections (srsly, what!?), still lets us attach parts in a manner that resembles the inter-stage fairings of yore

    A simple example. Note the decoupler below

    A slightly more complex example with multiple parts inside the inter-stage

    A slightly more interesting example. Note that the interstage *widens* to the medium fuel tank! Cool!

    I found a fix for the orbital map. If you download an earlier version of the mod (like from the non-reborn thread) you can copy over the java script files in the ..\Telemachus\Plugins\PluginData\Telemachus\houston\assets folder. I don't know why the current version's are broken, but the originals seem ok

    I know I've already started some bugs before but I've found another. When I click on the orbital map in Houston I get a black screen with the top of the Houston control panel barely visible.

    I can confirm I am having this issue as well. I'm not super aware of how modding works, but it seems like whatever program drew that map has broken.

    I have this text showing up in chromes dev console: 

    Uncaught ReferenceError: ResizeSensor is not defined
    at klass.buildSceneCameraAndRenderer (3dmap.js:11225)
    at klass.initialize (3dmap.js:11169)

    at HTMLDocument._methodized [as fire] (3dmap.js:654)
    at HTMLDocument.fireContentLoadedEvent (3dmap.js:7439)

    Seems like a problem with whatever program is drawing the 3D map

     

    Edit: Should I submit an issue in github? what is the best way to accomplish this?

    A patch to add fueled versions of each structural adapter. I (hopefully) balanced it pretty well. 

    //this adds new fuel filled adapters for ksp. should be decently balanced

    the highlighting makes it look like there is a giant string, but module manager doesn't recognize that in  it's syntax

    So I tried making a patch to make the atmospheric sensor smaller(Because its HUGE) but its not applying on load, any ideas why? 

    
//this patch makes the atmopheric sensor smaller
@PART[sensorAtmosphere]:FINAL
{
	//set this factor bigger to make the part bigger, smaller to shrink it
	@rescaleFactor = 0.3
	//I suggest 0.3, that puts it right around the scale of the thermometer & accelerometer
}

    and yes, I double checked its a .cfg file in my gamedata folder.

     

    edit: OH YEAH 1.2.1! I guess it broke MM

    edit2: nvm, sarbian said it works

    Actually, it does work, I just wasn't making the cfg correctly

    TYPO, then realizing 1.2.1 is a thing

    Help with KW petal adapter!

    in KSP1 Mods Discussions

    I know I'm bringing a dead thread alive, but I found a solution to the issue. If you make the root part below the petal adapter and then attach the bottom node of the upper parts engine it will work. You can then use the nudge tool to stick the engine inside the fairing like normal.
