Possible to edit a quicksave.sfs file to have 4 landing gear instead of 2?

[davidpsummers]

I have a lander on its way to Eve. I've just noticed that, in explicably, it only has two landing gear. (The usual number is "more than two". :-) I'm wondering it it would be possible to edit the quicksave.sfs file to fix this?

Take the orbital and ID parameters of the lander, build the desired revision, quicksave the new lander on the launchpad, remove the old one, and replace the orbital and ID parameters of the one on the launchpad.

...or use KIS to bolt a couple more landing gear on. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/113111-1-0-4-Kerbal-Inventory-System-%28KIS%29-1-2-2

I already add a part to a ship (a large dicking ring). It was in 1.0.4, but few month ago, I don't recall precisely

My ship was around Minmus but I stick the docking ring the wrong way so it detached with the debris...

I went to the VAB, fix the station, removed all the launchers and stage. I put it on the launch pad and did another save file.

Then I when to a file editor and compared the two ships so I could find the added part. This is easy.

_THEN_ you have to check for varying data in the part definition, especially identifiers probably responsible to part hierarchy. You have to change the added part data to the values of your existing station. I think there was 2 data to change.

It worked the first time for me.

Thanks to everyone. I did the one where a make a new rock on the Launch Pad, do a quick save, and the replace the old craft with the new on in the quicksave.sfs
