I thought that at first but confusingly it didn't work. After checking the source code I found that the fields were named differently between the two mods. e.g. diameterStepLarge (PF) vs diameterLargeStep (PP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaster401 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Y'all in career - if you're playing with the difficulty setting that forces you to purchase parts before you can use them, you will have to buy the fairing size upgrades in R&D in order to use sizes larger than 1.5m as the upgrades will not show up in the parts list.

urturino Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I'm trying this mod; It's great, but i experiencing a lot of drag at launch. if I have understood correctly from other posts, this is due to the fact that unlike stock fairing these do not reduce the drag of the payload. Is there a solution besides more gimbal and smaller fairings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaster401 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 If anyone is having one of their fairing halves fall off at or slightly after launch, turning off Fairing Auto-struts on the fairing base seems to fix this for me.

From what I can see using the aero debug tool and F12, procedural fairing bases don't have any drag occlusion area. The game ends up thinking that anything attached directly beneath the fairing base is completely unprotected from the airflow. Usually that's a fuel tank with a flat top, resulting in very high drag and an aerodynamically unstable rocket. Is there any fixes for this? The problem is still there.

BronzeShoe20968 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) For some reason I cant scale any of the fairing bases any larger than 1.500m, and I've tried a lot of things.. Any help available? I'm not using career mode and I think its somehow linked. Edited December 1, 2022 by BronzeShoe20968 typo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaikC Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) I like the shape of this fairing a lot and also the functions and base. Unfortunately, the fairings make that the rockets have a tendency to flip over. With a stock fairing the rocket goes perfectly into orbit, with a procedural fairing the rocket flipp shortly after launch. Same Parts except the fairing.

linuxgurugamer Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I've been trying to get the Interstage fairing working, but for the life of me, can't figure it out. The older version of the mod had different parts for interstage fairing as opposed to the full fairings Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interstage fairing is the black one, and it (should) have at least 3 nodes: a floating top one, a node on the top of the base, and a bottom node. (EDIT: there should be interstage versions of all the fairing base parts, actually (except the thick base), so these instructions apply to the others as well) Attach the base to the rest of the stack using the floating node. This node will decouple if you set the base to decouple. If you're using a procedural thrust plate, attach to the middle node on the thrust plate. Change diameters and height as normal. Attach your fairing parts. Build the rest of the rocket off of the bottom node. Edited January 17 by bigyihsuan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be a problem with Tweakscale, I'm using parts scaled up to 10m When I follow your steps, it briefly seems to connect to the top, and then just folds over on top of the interstage adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parts are so big that the nodes were all hidden, once I started adjusting values in the PAW the nodes started showing up, and I figured out how to use it. I suppose for normal sized parts it's fine, but the instructions are somewhat lacking. If I get some time, I might write some steps to help people figure it out.

They've specifically said that mods won't be able to be ported over.

I know there's a lot of people who are ignorant about the amount of work it takes to update mods — let alone rewrite from scratch — and have unrealistic expectation, even demands, for the modding community. On top of that, I suspect there will be a good amount of mod functionality that's included in the game. I doubt you'll be heartbroken over having no need to rewrite those.
