Would it be possible to allow the ports to freely rotate as hinges?

Not soon™. Motor rotation and free rotation are very different things from a ConfigurableJoint point of view.

Could you add an indicator / marker showing the orientation of the docking port while its selected? Example: Its home position vs its current position. This would help properly align objects both in the VAB and orbit.

 

Thank you in advance!

The angle between docking ports should visible in the right click menu when the rotation is enabled.

Make sure you have the latest release of DockRotate.

Didnt have a log as my screen was black. Had to kill KSP and then verify the base files. When i tried a second time same result. Dropping the mod, everything loaded up fine.

There should always be a log unless your system isn't starting KSP.  Check in your game folder for KSP.log.  Also you can read this post to find the output_txt.log file based on your operating system.

If you can, follow these instructions when you report a problem.  The info in the files can make it much easier for mod authors and others to help you.

Hi @peteletroll , I've got some trouble with dock rotate on 1.6.1, when I rotate my docked ports, just after the rotation, they reset to the position they were first.. Both ports have rotation enabled

I've got KJR (recompile), and restock mod (changes stock texture, so docking ports textures are changed, but not how they behave/work)

Any idea?

Thanks :)

Ah, bugger. Thanks for your excellent work on this mod though, it's still really handy! (Even if I can't build a plane-catching-trebuchet.)

Is DockRotate (and NodeRotate) mentioned in your KJR config.xml? @linuxgurugamer's KJR fork should be OK, you can try copying config.xml from there.

Seems no,

Here it is in case

Gonna grab it then, thanks :)

I can't find his fork on github, do you have any kind of link to it?

Help! I can preview the rotation in the hangar, but nothing happens in flight. I am not using KJR or Tweakable Everything, so I'm very confused. The angle gauge on the right-click menu displays very small (fractions of a degree) changes in rotation, but nothing visible. No rotation sounds either. Has this been addressed before?

Thanks in advance!
