Was kind of rushed when I posted the pics. All the wheels on the body in first pic show as blocked. The 2nd pic shows the wheel with full right deflection. The 3rd pic is same wheel with full left deflection, much wider arc than right deflection. EDIT: This change log note might explain the differences in wheel deflection * Steering model features true Ackermann steering. Ackerman steering is inside and outside wheels having different turn radii. I wonder how the game determine which wheel is the inside wheel and which is the outside wheel?

I had this behavior with the bearcub wheels too. Wheel context menu indicates wheels are blocked. Also noticed bearcub wheels deflection is more when turning left than when turning right, Buffalo 0.2.8 on KSP 1.1.

I would definitely throw some treasure at Beale to show my appreciation.

The 2 parts I had this happen with were the Vega.Crew.A and Vega.Crew.B.

Playing version 1.1 latest pre-release. I getting "Rescue Kerbals stranded in orbit" missions that are using the Vostok parts for the stranded Kerbals capsules. The problem here is that these parts don't have hatches defined so the poor stranded Kerbals can't exit when the lifeboat arrives. Is this a KSP problem or a Tantares problem?

somewhat. Textures seem to be mostly OK. Prop animations and sounds are not working (Firespitter is broken in this regard).

This is bad.

How do I download TRAILS?

Is this different than the parts in Tantares?

This makes me smile that shades of grey might be too extreme. Make the body metallic purple, then it might be extreme.

when I have all the tech to build TKS it becomes my standard orbital vehicle. So yes I use it for TKS/VA. It's a very flexible vehicle that can be modified for cargo, science, transport and keep same basic profile so that same launcher can be used for all missions.

disagree. I like the hazard stripes.

I've been away from KSP for a while, waiting for the 1.1 update, and just stopped back to see what was up. As usual Beale is creating amazing things as are the peeps using Tantares.

I said essentially this in this thread some months ago and was told I was being silly. But, hey, Beale does this because he enjoys it. It's his party and I'm just an observer with no expectation that I need to be catered to.

A few pages back I posted an AR config for the Tantares parts. It's commented with the ingame names and descriptions. My AR config post

No worries - Babies are life changing events and always come first before EVERYTHING else.

Does this mean he's here for a short stay, or he doesn't expect to be actively developing the mod for a long time? (kid graduates High school long time?)

I do have a Github account and couldn't figure out how to edit the page. I'll look again. EDIT: There is an edit button now. I swear it wasn't there a couple days ago! BTW: You might want to include a link to the wiki in the original OP if this is to be the main documentation site for AR.

I've developed a MM config to enable Antenna Range for the Tantares mod by Beale. I couldn't figure out how to edit the Wiki on GitHub so am posting it here. Would also appreciate some feedback on the values.

There were a few stock IVAs a while back that had some working buttons, MK-2 I believe. Problem is they were not marked and pressing the wrong button at the wrong time could mean disaster. Haven't played in IVA for quite a while now so not sure about current IVA's.

Nope - This is perfectly normal. Something is wrong when Google thinks KS means Kansas.
